So, is the general understanding that the Retro Jericho may at some point be worth a pretty penny? Im not sure how it works once the series hits stores, but will/ could McMahon give orders to stop shipping his figure to store locations in upcoming restocks?

And they kept them at full price while right around the corner at my Five Below they also got in a shipment of Series 3.  Same here, they put out a fresh case of S3 around Thanksgiving or so, but now I think they're down to 2 or 3 again after the Christmas season. So, guess we'll see what happens. They never stocked the ring either. With TRU gone, you'd think Walmart and Target would step up their toy game, but nope, seems to be business as usual. Meanwhile, my area of town is riddled with Charlotte Flair figures. I'm talking 12 in some stores. But can't stock a single retro? |

Is it safe to assume Target has stopped carrying the line? Series 3 warming the pegs doesn't count anymore when they are on series 8 now. Not only that, but as recently as one month ago, my local Target RE-STOCKED on the Series 3 Retros. I have no clue as to what they want to do with this line. |

what parts does ryder share with a previous release that he has kickpads instead of laced or biker style boots like he wears/wore? On the latest podcast Ryder said that they gave him Jericho's but said he would have preferred I think he said Austin's. But said he's just grateful to at least have a Retro of himself lol. Could Hawkins at least get a jumper? Poor guy is left in the cold here lol |

 Such a common head scan that even the BAF HBK is the same head with added beard. |

Look awesome. I was shocked ringside just delayed series 7 when they are already in most stores. I’m sure series 8 will get pushed back too. Yeah, I don't get that. I wonder if Mattel had to stiff ringside in order to get Walmart to pick the line back up by having them hit there first? It sucks that they've been sitting at my Walmart for a week now, but nobody can find them for me. Only 8 are coming in at a time though this time, so once they are out and they sell, what like 2-3 weeks then for a 2nd box to come in? Guessing it will only have one peg now in each store this time around. On the Prichard Show, Bruce would say how this would not fly with Vince at live events with merch. WWE employees would happily tell him they sold out all the shirts or whatever, and Vince would snap. This leaves money on the table. You never want to leave the consumer going back home with a handful of cash. Not sure if this is what Walmart wants to do to prevent any of these from rotting on pegs like Charlotte Flair figures. |

Yeah, they re-use this head for him a lot. Even the BAF Commissioner is this head but with a beard I think.
Retro head went right into the trash. No sympy,either. Life goes on. However, I DO have a second figure in package, but I dont have to look at it haha.

Brickseek is not 100%. Three Walmarts finally popped up with "In Stock," then none had them. The website is okay, but dont get too excited until you get to the stores. Series 2 heartbreak all over again. I think you’re wrong. It is far more likely they are there and they are waiting for the reset, or they just haven’t put them out yet. Then those clowns were lying to me. We stood there for 10 minutes while this manager lady was on her hand held gadget telling us that brickseek was wrong. All I know is Walmart sends me home empty handed. |

It actually wouldn't surprise me if it benefits the stores to not really keep much of anything new stocked. They probably figure, people would keep coming in and checking for stuff, not find anything and end up buying some groceries or something while in the store. This is the mindset for store exclusives for sure. Man, I hate Walmart. Even more so, because I'm remembering how they did us all with Series 2. They left us to deal with $93 "RARE" Retro Kane and the Ebay scalpers. Walmart, you 2nd rate hacks. |

I actually love that Goldust. I would love a Razor Ramon in black in the set. I'm with you, man. I'm not getting the Goldust hate either. I think the details are spot-on right down to the weird facial expression. I'm cool with it. |

I don’t know why I keep checking Brickseek every other hour. If this is anything like Harley I’ll still be looking in May. That's an official term now. Heres the definition... The definition of being Harley Race'd: 1a: a lack of a bundle arranged for convenience in carrying especially in the back b: the void of a group or pile of related objects c(1): ZERO numbers of individual components packaged as a unita pack of gum (2): CONTAINER NOT PROVEN TO EXIST OTHER THAN IN ONLINE PICTURES (3): not at Walmart (4): only a stack of Charlotte Flair's and a Steph/Foley Battle Pack with wasted gas....may as well buy milk, you did need that at the store at least. 2a: the contents of a bundle that will be at someone else's store location, so they could post a pic on Twitter to show you, or offer to sell it to you for 100 bucks b: scarce amount or number : HEAPa pack of lies c: a hand with nothing but a weinie and empty hopes 3a: an act or instance of packing (sure, whatever) b: a method of packing the other overproduced Mattel figures that rot on pegs |

What Head is everyone gonna use for Shawn Michaels ?  I bought this as soon as the Series 7 proto pics hit the internet. Retro Shawn looked like he was sniffin a smelly fart. This head is downstairs in a ziplock bag with 100 different custom heads and parts, so didnt feel like digging it out for a photo lol. |

 Keep up the bad work, Chicagoland Walmarts. I see you never forgot how to suck at stocking cool stuff. |

Should be the same as before: Cesaro Goldust Samoa Joe Randy Orton Diesel Matt Hardy Elias Junkyard Dog Seem more old school than what we’ve seen. Any new moves to the line. A wind up punch could be cool. Right. Or the Perfectplex even. |

Are they in 2UP size? Or regular? 2UP I wonder if you have a 3D printer, could you resize those HoF heads to the regular size? Damn, that hatless Taker head on a customized purple glove body would be sweet. |

He has some great customized parts and figures for sale. I saved him as a seller like 2 years ago, hes great. He does combined shipping if you're from the U.S., too like me. That $16 will scare lots of folks away otherwise. But man, I want a 3D printer now lol So his are made by 3D printers, that's awesome. Ever since that episode of Big Bang Theory when Raj and Howard got a 3D printer I've wanted one myself. Right now I'm looking to order a R&B Hammer and Mega Maniacs Brutus but he said he's got a lot of orders right now so he is going to message me when he has more available. Hopefully, it won't be too long. Oh yeah, definitely he does. He was the guy that Zack eluded to on the Christmas Hasbro show. He's been pumping out R&B Valentines like hotcakes lol. Also constantly has 2UP's for sale, and unpainted parts and figure projects for the buyer to complete. I really dont care if the Valentine or whoever is legit. Because to be honest, I'm not a millionaire and i have a wife and 3 kids. Bad combo for the $20k figure market haha. It's still a really cool figure to have. They've been going for $100-125 I'd say. But for sure, those 3D printers are the boss. I want one seriously. |
