Hopefully everyone who pre orders gets them. I'll take my chances in stores.

Wasn't that figure suppose to be a RSE? I missed out on any news about it. She was originally announced as a RSC exclusive but then got moved to e83. |

I haven't seen a single Royal Rumble figure yet. I have seen fresh cases of e77 at a few different Targets in PA. And NJ. Haven’t hunted in forever. Is that what we’ve been getting? Last 2 times I randomly looked while at a store, there was 1-2 Basic Styles on the pegs and nothing else. Yeah it's pretty rough. I haven't come across any e79 or e80 either besides a few of each at various Walgreens. |

Not clear but nothing beats the Copco Spice racks in my opinion.

When I worked at TRU I was the World Leader of the stockroom and it absolutely happened there. The a.m. stock guy would take any treasure hunt that came in. He would also take all the good star wars legacy and Mcfarlane figures. It was beyond annoying. And the main Store manager didn't really care. He thought it was funny a grown man collected toys. I always thought he was selling the stuff on Ebay. But who knows.

there’s one person in particular on here that I can think of when it comes to this. Ok then say it? Lol wtf He is talking about Wheeljack. He went kind of nuts about the pre orders from Target before you were a member here. |

I honestly don't know if I would purchase any of them. NXT has really bored me the past few years. I might pick up Dexter but no one else on that list. Djikovik has a basic coming somewhere in the next few series.

The Dm is nice but it doesn't really compare to the UE in my opinion.

The problem with the line returning remains - as far as I can see - the question of where they will be sold; without a retailer willing to take them on then it’s a non-starter. We can see Mattel aren’t interested in doing a crowd-funding venture since the demise of Matty Collector so that avenue isn’t possible clearly - the WWE team don’t have anything up on Mattel Creations; Mattel have tried some crowd-funding on their Mattel Shop web site for other lines but not with WWE (I don’t think they even have any WWE stock actually sold through the website rather than just linking to other retailers that carry those products), suggesting they have made a conscious decision not to try that with WWE products. Maybe it’s a contractual restriction, but regardless there’s no place for Retros there. Ringside can’t do everything so can’t be blamed for not taking-on the line; we know they are supportive of the line in general. The UK e-tailers are also very supportive of the line, but no sign of grouping them together with Ringside to get something moving there. WWE Shop continue to use the Retro/Hasbro graphics occasionally in promotions, but the closest they get is carrying a damn Retro toaster   Have they ever carried Mattel figures on there? They have those knock-off Micro Brawlers, suggesting their is interest from their customers in figures and collectibles, but again no sign of movement there. So that’s back down to Walmart and Target, and we know how that ends - they can’t even seem to get Elites and Basics on the pegs despite those lines apparently being in the three top sellers in the market, what hope is there for another smaller line added to the Masters, the Wrekkin line and whatever else Mattel are offering. Plus I think the Mattel-WWE contract must be getting down to the wire at this stage, unless a renewal has been announced that I’ve missed? If not then there’s not much time left to get the Retros back on the pegs given how long such things take to get going. Let’s hope Mattel are preparing to reveal a big return for the line soon... The contract was supposed to end in 2021. However,2 years ago a rumor circulated all over that the contract was extended until 2025. It has been asked but AFA and Bill have never confimed one way or another. |

I am almost 100 percent sure Austin will come with the Smoking Skull belt. It is due for another release and way more memorable than the blue strap.

He warmed hard in my area at a few Walmarts. I am glad I grabbed a few. I only have 1 with absolute perfect paint on the hat though. Finding the hat with perfect paint on the pegs wasn't easy. It is a great figure though. Top 5 in the Mattel line for sure.
