Less legends Less NXT More carefully thought out lineups to reduce the likelihood of characters clogging shelves for prolonged periods of time, resulting in significant reductions and hurting the line in the long run

Battlepacks 53 and 54 are now on Smyths’ site. 53 are in stock for home delivery now, so I guess we’ll be seeing them in the next week maybe

Hey guys, wasn't sure where else to post this on the site I'm in the UK and I'm after the Jurassic World Legacy Grant, Ellie and Muldoon figures My Grandad is heading to the States (Boston I think) in around a month for a wedding, and I was gonna see if he could pick them up for me from Target I was just wondering if they're still pretty readily available at Targets? I know they've been out for a good few months now Are they the 3.75” figures? If so yes they are. Thanks man! Didn’t wanna send him on a wild goose chase

Smyths have the new Basic Raw, Smackdown and NXT rings listed and in stock in a few stores at £29.99 each. Bit miffed about the price, were they not like £20 a few years ago?
The daft thing is for just a tenner more you can get the set with Balor and all the other trimmings

Seaway and Stand Atlantic are playing with State Champs too! Excellent. The new State Champs album is great as well I'm not familiar with Stand Atlantic, but I love Seaway! I'm really enjoying the new album too, the music video for Our Time To Go is fantastic. That last Seaway album was great, a bit of a grower but it really hits the spot. This is my favourite Stand Atlantic one, their 'hit' though is called Coffee at Midnight, also worth checking out

I’m sure it’ll be great whatever it is, but hHh is the top want, followed by an Elite re-do of the Summerslam Heritage in the purple tights (still in my top 5 favourite matches of all time)
Someone said something about jeans. Not sure if they were being serious but I’d be down with that. Jeans, cloth shirt, title belt. I’d even get two and put a modern head on it

Guys check your B&Ms theres someone I know who re-sells mainly B&M stock and he currently has the then now forever series with Miss Elizabeth, Chad Gable etc for sale at £17.99 My guess is he's found these in B&M possibly Home Bargains Could be totally wrong but worth a look.... happy hunting I'll try and check that out today, although both of those figures are on Amazon US now for pretty cheap, maybe he did a bulk order from there?

- I can say going on the similar scenarios in the past, that we are almost 100% certainly getting WAVE A. And that is what was ready. And Smyths took it without an incline of a thought as to what was inside.
Just checking I'm understanding this correctly. Is Wave A what we usually get? But on this occasion, the contents of Wave A was different to usual?

What I don't understand about this whole Smyths have decided to order this case as opposed to the other with all 6 is that other online retailers like T&M also got no Mickie James in their shipment and judging from their posts on Facebook this was (obviously) not their choice as they would want the full shipment especially having already sold a few James figures and having to refund buyers for it. Damn that was the longest sentence I've ever wrote. Excuse my poor grammar. That's true! The anomaly here is apparently Fenwick (I think that's what the store is called?) did get Chad Gable Our questions to answers ratio is so off right now :[

Smyths don't have the expertise, or the need, to care about our tiny little collector community. They order, they receive, they sell. If the wave a or b shipping assortments arrive, it makes zero odds to Smyths, it is just annoying for us. Smyths will sell the figs regardless. I've contacted Smyths and told them Elias is missing from Elite 60 online. Whether they do anything about it is another story. I do understand what you're saying. For years we got all 6 figures, we're now getting 5. Surely someone, somewhere can account for why we're getting this alternative assortment rather than what we used to get? I can't claim to be an expert or have any inside scoop, but I guess it comes down to one of two things: - Smyths are actively ordering this alternative assortment. As has been discussed, WWE sales at Smyths (as far as my eyes can see) have declined a fair bit since I started collecting, and as a result they've resorted to ordering in fewer cases. Maybe they decided to roll the dice and try something new. IE: Assortment A is a case with all characters, whereas Assortment B is lighter on the perceived 'less popular' characters, and heavier on the 'more popular characters'. Example: Chad Gable is less likely to sell than Finn Balor. Obviously the contents of the assortments is Mattel's call. Smyths only order cases, not individual characters. - Another possibility is that Mattel has simply decided to start sending Smyths Assortment B and Smyths aren't questioning it. As others have said, we're collectors, we know there's 6 figures per series. We're wrestling fans, we (well, some of us) watch the show every week. So it's all very obvious to us when we don't get a figure that we've been waiting for for months, but to Smyths? Unfortunately for us Mr Smyth doesn't know who or what an Elias Samson is, all he knows is numbers, so he probably has no idea there's a missing character. Had business been better WWE-wise, maybe he'd make more of an effort to rectify the issue and to make sure we had access to the full assortment, but after years of people pestering Smyths to stock everything then not actually buying them off the shelves (see: Hall of Fame 2 and 3), he feels less inclined to jump through hoops for us

I got the Attitude Era Austin and Jericho, and the Then Now Forever American Alpha Elites for £72 all in, but I think when I looked at getting Austin or Jericho on their own it came to around £24

Thinking of buying Best of Attitude Era Jericho off Amazon US. They charge you an import fee deposit. Does this mean I won't get any custom charges? No import charge, it's all factored in. Got mine in the post the other day, great figure, came quite quickly too, only a week!

I imagine the people with the answers are the ones working in the Smyths buyers division Unfortunately, when you get through to the customer service team, the only answers you're gonna get are answers you could get yourself from the website maske2g, any insight on this? I know you know stuff
