Guys, do we have a date for E68 yet? I've seen a lot of people on Instagram with them that they've got from Ringside but I just wondered if we had a store release date for the UK yet. ‘Taker and Braun are slated for release from the 11th June

ChicagoI was really happy with my X-Pac purchase until I displayed him with Austin and realised it was pretty much the same goddamn figure! Just purchased the 2 Tuff Kane and Mankind pack, which was one of the first sets I bought as a kid, so happy to have that again

What's the deal with E67 Mysterio at Smyths? I don't think they're getting him. There's a listing on the website for Elite 69 Mysterio with an August release date, but with the picture of Elite 67. So I assume that's when we'll see Series 69. Forbidden Planet, Toys and Masks and A1 Toys (I think?) got him though

Elite 68 Undertaker and Strowman are on Smyths’ site for preorder. Due in from June 11th. I guess it’s a wait and see regarding Bryan, Brie, Mabel and Roman

The regular Elite Series. The one in the with the hair piece and then the Machine one. Please stick with the format of this thread and reply only with a yes or no answer 😀 yeah man you're ruining the format! Imagine if Vince injected fun into Monday Night Raw, it would ruin everything

What's up, I'm in the UK and I have a friend going to the States next week. Where are these available? Is the store actually called Dollar Tree? Are there a lot of the stores around? Yes the store is called Dollar Tree. They are everywhere in the U.S.. A lot of stores sold out of them quickly. But they are still out there. Thanks for that! :]

I want Ronda but I'm kinda concerned she'll stick out like a sore thumb next to other regular Mattels?

Got a question that doesn't really require it's own thread or a debate? Put it in here and hopefully someone will answer it for you!So questions don't get lost in the shuffle, please try and keep it to simple questions and answers rather than a discussion if you can Example; Did the APA ever have chairs with their logo on? Or did Mattel just put logos on to spice them up a bit? Can’t find any evidence on Google images

Per WhatCulture.com
'According to The Telegraph, BT Sport is expected to announce they have reached a deal with WWE to begin airing its product, bringing an end to Sky Sports three-decade long stronghold on the product.
The announcement continues a dramatic few days which has seen the landscape of UK television wrestling completely uppended, coming after AEW confirmed a partnership with ITV, the country's biggest broadcaster.
There are no details on BT's apparent deal with WWE at present, but it's understood they will assume the rights when Sky's contract ends this year. BSkyB, the station's holding corporation, announced a fresh deal with the global wrestling outfit back in 2014, bringing their association to a 30th year.
BT Sport have declined to comment on the deal at this stage. The paid-for channel reached record highs this year, when over 2 million viewers tuned in to see Liverpool overturn a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona as part of their Champions League package.'
Interesting development. If true, I'm curious as to whether Sky was outbid, or if they simply chose not to renew due to a drop in viewers?
What do you think lads? Is this good or bad for you personally?

Got the Charlotte Flair blue variant Pop Vinyl at The Entertainer. It was a Footlocker exclusive in the states but looks like The Entertainer picked it up over here

mattelwwecollectorAll fair points, not really thought of it like that before. But you're right, I've managed to pick up a lot of the figures that Smyths as a whole or just my store has skipped from other places (Amazon, Toymaster, Forbidden Planet). So yeah, everything is accessible, in some isolated cases it's just down to whether or not you're prepared to pay the big money I speak for myself here anyway, but here's why the Smyths situation is a bit disappointing: 1) Exclusives aside, Smyths once upon a time stocked everything. You knew what was coming out, you knew when it was coming out, and you knew as long as you could get to the store quickly enough you'd never miss out on anything. It was a one stop shop 2) As above, Smyths routinely stocked everything, and in that first 8 years of the Mattel era, they were the only shop that could say that in the UK. Others have dabbled, but never replicated that consistency. Admittedly we've got a few new players in the game that are getting quite prolific in what they stock (Forbidden Planet, Toys and Masks, and Toymaster), I just hope these places keep it up I guess to an extent a bi-product of points 1 and 2 is it's gonna be like the old days when you didn't know what you were gonna get or when you were gonna get it. The welcome surprise of hunting and finding new stuff. I suppose that's cool, although when you've been used to being spoonfed everything in one place like clockwork, it's hard to go backwards 3) For me personally, shopping for figures online is a no fly zone unless it's something I absolutely must have. Quality control has once again returned to the toilet. Maybe my standards are too high, but the other day I browsed around 20 figures in search of a good Basic Angle or Rusev. Not one was buyable (the Angle I did buy has one leg longer than the other...). I just got my Curt Hawkins Elite from Amazon yesterday, and while it's not the worst paint I've seen, I have to believe if I'd seen it on the shelves I would have passed

Basic 95 is available online and in some Smyths stores now Went to Bolton Smyths, as per the website, we’ve only got Angle, Rusev and AJ (so no Bray or Sonya) I looked through in excess of 10 Angles in search of one with good paint and honestly, for paint apps, this may be the worst figure I’ve ever seen. Near enough every one was appalling. Managed to get one that was okay, just hoping it’s only a place holder for if or when they make another Angle with hair. Hopefully by then Stevie Wonder’s been fired from being head of quality control at Mattel too

The manager at my local Smyths who is a fellow collector said he’d been on the buyers backs about getting them back in, and apparently they will be. Not sure what series that will start with or when
