I've seen a couple of people on Facebook yesterday say they'd found Elite 55 in store, but the Smyths site still indicates that they're out of stock everywhere
I went into mine this morning to investigate but there was nothing new. In fact, the WWE section was looking phenomenally thin, I counted 25 Alexa's, which probably accounted for 50% of the remaining Elites

Just got the Dash Wilder Elite from my local Argos. They had 8 figures in in total, the rest were all Nakamura and Asuka

Has anyone ever ordered off Pro Wrestling Tees? Was seeing if a customs charge is likely

It looks too good to be true, but I’d be down for one Hate not picking my own paint jobs ect but beggars can’t be choosers and all that Just read the bit about Smyths getting them any time, will see if I can find out any info on that before I commit to this actually. I fear Smyths might not talk sense if they do get them

Regardless of Toys and Masks announcement and how reliable people think it is, there's been a lot of stuff outside of the regular Basic, Battlepack and Elite line that we've missed out on in the last couple of years. and by a lot I mean a lot. If you recall Bill said the New Day Booty-O's box set was a 'main line' release, IE: not a store exclusive, and we didn't see that, just as an example The manager at my local Smyths (a fellow collector) also said he's pretty sure they're not going to be stocking this line either. Which while disappointing I can't blame them, individual £10 Elites are struggling to shift at the minute so £50/60 box sets (guestimation) are probably a big risk There are many figures I want that won't officially make it to UK. Elite Gable/Jordan. Dawson and Wilder *should* be here but don't seem to be. Virgil Yankem and that doesn't include upcoming figures! The hobby is becoming less fun. But hey! We get Kurt Angle for the bargain price of £34 which is something! I've seen a few people on Facebook get hold of Dash and Dawson, but I've only ever come by Asuka and Nakamura Hall of Fame 4 was another I was sad we didn't get, would have loved that Edge and Booker T :[

Either way, I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm not liking our chances of getting them here

I never saw the complete Elite 51 one the Basic 74 (maybe?) one with the orange vest has the full tattoo though if you don’t mind Basics

Got the new Basic Nattie from Smyths, looks like that series is in quite a lot of stores now. No other new series seem to be out yet though

Is that the new Elite ‘Taker? Do the skintones perfectly match and does the head sit right? Probably gonna do the same swap myself

I'm expecting to get laughed at here but does anyone know if Poundstretcher sell wrestling stuff? They did once upon a time. The one on the other side of town is small, and only really sells plastic boxes. I once got a TTL Chris Benoit from Poundstretcher, they gave me a pound discount because the box was beat up too This was 2001 though

Been to a couple of Toys R Us stores in the last few days (Bolton and Manchester), both of which were on the closing down list
Bolton's section appears to have been cut in half almost. It has an endcap, along with a small portion of an aisle, whereas Manchester has been reduced to merely an endcap. Although, based on what was left of it (down to Syds, Mizdows, dolls and a few other odds and sods), you could call it an endcrap
Not sure what this means exactly, I thought it could be put down to clearing a bunch of stuff out over Christmas, but they've obviously put other brands in it's place

Aye, I always like to support the line by paying full price on things I really want. If something I was 50/50 on gets reduced then I may pick it up as well
However, with things like the Entrance Greats coming in at £33, and the Wrestlemania Elites being raised to £27, I'm really struggling to justify that kinda stuff at this stage. Business isn't booming at work, I've got a mortgage to pay, I'm reaching a point where I have to start using my loaf and saying no, I can't pay £30 for a toy...
