Bill did say they Retros were far surpassing expectations. This is good to hear! Long may the line continue and fingers crossed for some more legends/ colourful figures. I know everyone would love a ring as well and if it is indeed doing as well as is being speculated, maybe this will happen! Agreed. As others have said, I just want the line to give us that 1995-1998 bridge to the Attitude figures of Series 2 and I'll be as happy as a clam.

I'm so tired of driving to 5 different Walmart's looking for these. Especially considering four of the five have figure sections that are so strip down there is honestly no hope. They need to open these up to all retailers. If I were 11 years old and still played with these I will be going insane right now. My mom would probably have me in the car driving to seven different states to calm me down. Just open it up to online, I'll gladly pay 15 a piece to forego the ordeal of searching for them in craphole Walmart. Amen...I did, and I feel so much better. YES, someday these will be in stores for 10 bucks, but the mess of stocking these, and the ridiculous wait compared to the guys that caught them in the UK made paying the extra few dollars worth it. I made $20 each and I have two sets...one loose, one MOC...I caved, whatever. One thing I KNOW I will not, is regret waiting on Wal-Mart. I did the hopeless runs up until about 2 weeks or so ago. It's insane. But I'm happy. I know I won't pay friggin $50 each though lol.

Seriously. We live in a world where we are at the mercy of pirates charging $91.00 for a Kane that they describe as "RARE".......he hasn't even been at 90% of the stores her to EARN the title of rare yet. Usually RARE happens with an item after it has come and gone from regular shelves lol. (slaps face)

Entering dangerous territory and pre-ordering the retros now. I had such a hard time with series 1 and have yet to find any series 2. Good choice, I'd say! Eliminates the drama of trying to find them in 10 different Walmarts when they come out. I picked up 2 of each from ringside and got it over with. S2 has been a nightmare that I'd rather not relive. I still want to know if this set will now have fewer figures per series and have more frequent releases? And will they no longer be Wal-Mart exclusive from here on out? Mattel HAS to have learned from Series 2...

I just can't wait to see what the Hart, HBK and Flair figures will look like. And which era they'll be from. I'd take any pre-1998 Flair, and 1997 era HBK and Hart, personally. ...are these definitely in S3? (...has the S3 line-up been announced?). Yeah, that's been the heavily rumored lineup along with Big Show, Ambrose and Rollins from all sources and Mattel Retro's website. It hasn't gone past the rumor phase yet, but I think most accept these guys will most likely will be next as they've been the only ones associated with Series 3 talks since May or June.

As long as its not long pants HBK or jean shorts Hitman I'll be happy. If I see his fig with the grey chaps holding green glow sticks I'll die a lil inside lol

I don't either. I'm from Chicago, so it's been a Cena/Lesnar wasteland over here. I did strike twice early and pay $20/figure to complete my series 2 set early during the initial release in late July before everyone lost their minds and got Kanefused lol. But it helped me be content enough to sit back and wait for Mattel and Wal-Mart to get it right and fill out stores with these.
With my collection, I'm doing two of each guy...one in package, one loose. But like someone else here already said, these people paying hundreds will feel like fools in February when the Kanes and Stings are treated like lepers to make room for Flair, HBK, Hart, and Series 3..
But if someone made $400 on 6 of those figures today...man, I can't hate on him. He is a good business man. Supply and demand 101. But that also is our main gripe with Mattel and Wally-World at the moment as of now. Hope they learn from this and fix it for Series 3.

So, I was just on eBay...just saw a $149 retro Sting get scooped up. We currently have a ferocious war...33 bids...89 bucks for Kane with a day and a half left.
But fear not, if you want the entire series 2 at your front door by August 31st, it could be yours for the nominal fee of roughly $350. Shipped from Europe of course.
This entire series 2 stocking situation has been a mess from the word "go."
