Hellojoeivers Asda now have true moves 12" figures They had braun strowman, cesaro, bray wyatt and fake rey mysterio Fake rey mysterio lol. hellojoeivers Haha! I assume that’s Gran Metalik. I love it Thanks for the update though. Not for me, but those figures are pretty cool When I was in Asda yesterday they also had some ‘Stretch Armstrong’ style figures. They’re not Mattel, but they are a similar 6/7 inch scale (from what I remember). They had Cena, Demon Balor, Roman and AJ. They also have them in the new Argos catalogue, as well as a bigger AJ

Went to The Entertainer in Bolton, they had Elite 61: 2x AJ, and 1x KO, Breeze and Fandango
Also went to Argos. NXT Elites aren’t in the new catalogue, and they didn’t show up on those digital stock checkers in store. They are still listed on the website but it’s possible that once the stores that have them in have sold out then they’ll be done
The catalogue has pictures of Elite 63, so watch this space I guess!

I imagine given her resurgence since last Summer, particularly from November until now, she’ll get plenty of new and updated figures. Plenty of stuff they can do

WFIGS: UK Weekly Round Up
Issue 3Not much to report this week, but here's your round up on what's been found in your local stores along with a few other tidbits. Listings can vary from store to store. Going to be doing this round up on a weekly basis so if you see anything on your travels just pop it on the board or send me a message and I'll make sure it goes in next week's. As always, this is just news and findings that have cropped up since last week's, for a full overview of what's out there check out the previous issues here. PETE DUNNE / MISSING ELITE SERIESPutting some spotlight on this as I know a lot of you have a keen interest in what's going on with this figure. Here's my understanding of the situation. To recap, starting with Elite 63, Mattel is including a 7th figure in each Elite wave, with the 7th figure being a store exclusive (63: Bob Backlund - Walmart, 64: Pete Dunne - Target, 65: Sensational Sherri - Walmart, 66: Alexander Wolfe - Target). Despite being exclusive to those retailers in the States, those figures will be available to international retailers, it's just down to them to order them. IE: If Smyths don't order them, that's down to Smyths. Seen a lot of hate on Mattel for this but at the end of the day they're available to us, it's just a case of whether or not our retailers think it's worth their while to order them. Getting down to the nitty gritty: The last Elite series Smyths stocked properly was Elite 60 back in August, followed by a very small number of Elite 61 released in December. According to a Smyths employee on Facebook (I don't know what capacity this employee works in, so I can't vouch for how accurate this information is), Smyths haven't and aren't scheduled to receive Elite 62, 63 or 64 due to an issue with their supplier. He also said that as of Elite 65 they'll be back to receiving the full assortments, plus the exclusive figure from every series (again, take this with a pinch of salt, he could have spoken to a higher up or he could have just looked at the website). Regarding Pete Dunne then, since we're not scheduled to get Elite 64 at Smyths, it doesn't look like we'll be able to get him there. Toys and Masks reported this week that they've been told that they can stock Pete Dunne, but at a minimum order of 5,000 - so that's down to them as to whether or not they think that's viable (I would imagine not). WWE Shop (US) did briefly stock Bob Backlund, which would have been an ideal way of getting Pete Dunne too. According to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast (Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins seem to have the inside scoop), WWE Shop ended up with these by mistake, so we shouldn't expect to see Pete wind up there unfortunately (that's not to say he won't). The long and short is as things stand there's every chance that we won't see this figure land on UK soil. That's not a guarantee, it could wind up anywhere in the next 6 months to a year, but obviously if you're hell bent on having him in your collection then eBay or a US connection may be your best hope. SMYTHSThe Wrekkin' Slam Mobile playset is pretty widely available now, although my four most local stores are yet to get it. Entrance Greats Goldberg is available in select stores, as well as being available for home delivery. Hopefully both of these will land in the remainder of stores before the month is out. The Ronda Rousey Pop! Vinyl appears to have disappeared from the site. Not sure what that means for that. A few reductions that have cropped up this week, all subject to availability: Kurt Angle & Jason Jordan Battlepack - £15 Elite 60 Xavier Woods - £7 Elite 58 Cesaro - £7 Zombies Finn Balor - £7 Triple H Pop! Vinyl - £5 Kurt Angle Pop! Vinyl - £3 As always with Smyths, check out their website if you're planning on making a trip as their stock checker is generally pretty accurate, but keep in mind their in-stock dates can be a bit hit and miss.THE ENTERTAINERElite 62 (Akam, Rezar, Roman Reigns, Dude Love, Sting and Braun Strowman) have been spotted @ £10 each as well as the Wrestlemania Battle Packs (Jeff Hardy & Edge, The Miz & Seth Rollins, AJ Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura) @ £20 each WILKINSONSElite 49 is available at select stores, reduced to £6 AMAZON DOT COMThe Best of Attitude Era Triple H figure is once again available to order @ $19.99 plus shipping and taxes, should be in stock next week The Top Picks Elites (Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles and Finn Balor) are all also available @ $19.99 each ARGOS:As reported last week, the NXT Elites are back up to £19.99. Their new catalogue lands this coming Saturday. Hopefully this might shine some light on whether or not we'll be getting Series 4. WWE Euroshop:Today's deals: 30% off orders over £30 Up to 40% off titles Thank you to everybody who contributed!

Elite 62 has been spotted at The Entertainer for £10 ...do you know if that includes Sting? (I remember when E62 were originally listed on the Smyths website, Sting wasn't included...). I think the picture I saw had AOP and Sting, so you should be in luck!

Went to The Entertainer after work. Nothing new in (aside from the 6 inch Diva figures) but I just saw on Facebook that someone found the Wrestlemania Battlepacks there

When I was 18 I'd just started going to local metal and hardcore shows, Myspace was in full swing, and being straight edge was 'cool' in the scene. All this was going down and I did something stupid when I was drunk. In the aftermath I sat down and thought 'yeah, I'll be straight edge, that's something cool I can put on my Myspace'
I stuck to it for about 4 months or so, then when I went to Download Festival the first time, I broke in about half an hour. On the last night I ended up getting food poisoning from eating a burger which I knew wasn't right, and ultimately ended up in hospital shortly after getting home. I didn't drink again after that, then about 6 weeks later I was sat on my couch in my flat and just kinda had a conversation with myself. I realised that while my 'reasons' for claiming the lifestyle weren't particularly good (IE: doing it because it was 'cool'), it was something that I did believe in. That was August 2007 and I've been straight edge since. I became vegetarian in 2012 too
As for a few things discussed here; I get people saying that they don't get the whole idea of labelling yourself. I mean to each his own but if you don't get it then you just don't get it. I was a bit elitist in my earlier years but I'm older and a bit wiser now, I see things in colour rather than black and white. I struggle with excess in my life, I'm not good with money, space, eating, things like that. I know I'm not perfect, but I know that by making sure I'm clean of anything that can alter my mind, I can at least have the best shot I can possibly have at being the best version of me that I can be
As for James Hetfield. Look, he drank a lot of booze and took a lot of drugs, he'd not shy away from that. For my first 24 years I ate a lot of meat. The truth is it's never too late to make a change. To be honest, Hetfield is more qualified than any of us to be straight edge. If you can claw back from that lifestyle and live a clean life then you've earned those two words more than anyone

Unpopular opinion here, but aside from a few accuracy issues, there’s literally nothing wrong with these figures. In fact I can guarantee most members who are inevitably gonna inundate this thread with the usual ‘When are Hasbro getting the license?!’ and ‘#cancelbasics’ wouldn’t have noticed that this attire is ‘inaccurate’ if not for it being mentioned on the pod. To be honest, I thought Xavier’s reaction was pretty embarrassing, and I’m a 30 year old man with a room full of toys
As I’ve said before, it blows my mind that people will ignore appalling paint apps and immovable limbs, but will go mental over an inaccurate attire. Mental

Just spotted two Elite reductions on Smyths' site; Elite 60 Xavier Woods and Elite 58 Cesaro are both down to £7 Haven't been logging in for a while, but have been lingering in the background (like the Barry Windham Stalker gimmick). Just wanted to give a thanks to the big man Joe Ivers. The lists etc that you are doing are very helpful and the forum in general seems to be a friendlier place. Thanks pal! Don't be a stranger
