BAD NEWS looks like wwe mattel elite 47/A will not be available for online purchase from Smyths ive got news you. "Robert" works in in Mumbai in a call centre that probably covers multiple stores. He doesnt know what Elites are. He just looked on the website to gove you the info that is written on the website until somebody has capacity to put them for sale on the website. Shine a light...

What is the matter with you people?
Every few series the same thing.
"Some 2 bob customer service rep said this"
"Someone on Twitter said that"
The other day we werent getting them at all at Smyths!!! Now we have had delivery 1. (There is always waves, 2nd always much bigger)
Was it Einstein who said, "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I've been away from figure news for quite some time but have been getting the new releases from Smyths. Just wondering if any of you have heard if the Then, Now, Forever series will be coming to the UK? Was going to get the Tyler Breeze from States but decided against it...but now Typoon and 99 Macho Man...I really don't want to miss them. Heard there's a lot of other exclusive sets in the states too like the Wild Somoans. Heard anything about a UK release for them? Hope someone can give me some info. Cheers. Highly unlikely for all

There are some on a thread just 1 or 2 pages down, in a big discussion on the Austin scan.

Think the guy got it wrong. About the 3rd time, just from what I've seen. Really struggling with that drop down box......
"Only available in store" has come to fruition.......never

In the UK we have not had, off the top of my head, in recent years. HOF Warrior HOF Austin HOF Sgt Slaughter HOF Trish HOF Horseman HOF Heenan HOF Shango Warrior HOF Wild Samoans HOF Dusty Rock and Farooq TNF Bam bam TNF Tyler TNF Rock TNF Rusev TNF Austin Cena TNF Sting Warrior TNF Pillman Ambose TNF Sami TNF Typhoon TNF Earthquake TNF Macho Man TNF Shield TNF Bash at the beach TRU Seth TRU Brock Streak TRU Champ is here Gamstop Brock Walgreens HBK And then there are some, such as HOF 2 and 3, and TRU exclusives, that we got a full 6 months late, having already paid extra to Import them. Now I know it's not your job MattelDesignTeam . But I'm sure you know whose job it is to sort exclusives out. Are Walgreen and Gamestop really big enough to piss off an entire country!??!?!?!? Because collecting is becoming a bane rather than a pleasure. If the two dozen of us on here who care about that were enough to make Mattel stop offering exclusives, we'd also be enough for UK retailers to buy the exclusives in the first place. Let's do it then.
Lets organise a mass email bombardment asking for certain lines to be bought.
My question would be.....can Smyths even buy them?!? I would be keen to know that before wasting our time

Elite 47 now in stock (in Store only - at the moment) What store? It's said "Available in store" for 3 days.
When you click on a store, it's not in stock.

MattelDesignTeam , can we get a new multipack line. Title it, "Wrestlers that have had 6 figures already, and have minimal alternative attires". Market it with the line "Because we don't want to make other legends of wrestling, so get some more Nash's" Or better still, what about a New Generation line!! "Celebrate when VKM nearly went bust"

@alias . You started losing me at point 1. Just looking at that set, I still think....amazing set. I can't discuss with someone who doesn't care about important parts of wrestling history, just because they are too young to care about it. Ridiculous. And again you make complete contradictions. You want to talk about things like ratings, and then you propel the purple Undertaker to some sort of iconic status!!!! Hulk Hogan in 1985. A global star. Intertwining with one of the biggest music stars in the world. vs Undertaker in his attire at a time the WWE was sharply going towards extinction because it was SHYTE!!! Again, Ridiculous!!! You are like Skysports with the Premier league. Lets just pretend football didn't exist before 1993.... That's the thing... You're not discussing. You're putting words in my mouth and trying to take shots at me. For one, I didn't say I didn't care about that moment or any other moment in the history of wrestling. This thread is, and has been, strictly about Mattel starting multipack Elite series off strongly. And by strongly I don't mean what I like, but would sell very well. Dusty Rhodes, The Bushwhackers, NOD, and the Samoans are not the guys to do that. Several of these lines have died prematurely. And they all started off underwhelming in terms of selection. That is all I am focused on. And I don't know why you keep saying I'm "too young". You have no clue how old I am. Nor do you have any clue what my personal preferences are as far as wrestling is concerned. I'm not basing what I think are strong or weak inaugural lineups on what I want. I'm basing it off of what makes the most sense. For instance, one of my favorite wrestlers is Earthquake. And my personal favorite attire of his is the all blue singlet. However, I would have never started off a series with Earthquake. Not unless the other 5 figures were slam dunks (again, slam dunks as in good potential sellers not what I like). And even then there would probably be more sensible choices for the more obscure spot. Now, I am going to bury you with one final point. I find it hilarious that you keep bashing that purple Undertaker look. Elite 23 Undertaker flew off the shelves and was scalped for years after. And it got rereleased, which doesn't happen unless a figure is highly demanded. And guess what, it's pretty safe to say that purple Undertaker sold better than American Made Hogan. BUT HOW CAN THAT BE????? I mean, according to your logic, because Hogan was bigger in 85 than Undertaker was in 95, American Made Hogan should sell more and be revered more than purple Taker right???? WRONG. Anyways, you have poor debate skills and further showcase your delusions and faulty logic with each subsequent reply. You have developed a selective deafness when I counter every single one of your specious claims and ill-gotten conclusions. And not to mention your reading comprehension is highly suspect. I have nothing more to say to you. HAHAH, you are ridiculous. Why don't you apply for a job at Mattel. Tell them to keep bunging out wrestlers who represented the poorest financial period in WWE's history in the last 30 years. I'm sure you will go far. If there were no NOD, Bushwhackers, Dusty in our collection, I would feel hard done by. There are slots to fill in most lines...You literally haven't named anyone that should have gone in any of them except Hall and Nash, both of whom have been released in lots of other lines, recently. Lets get another hall and nash, or lets gets The Brain and Big John Studd. Its an absolute no brainer. Who would you have had out in the first legends line instead of the multi time NWA champion, 2 of the biggest faces in WWE in the early to mid 80's, 1 a former WWE champion, , the greatest tag team of all time, and the wrestler who made WWE a billion dollar public company? Please give me 5 names that WERE LIKELY SIGNED at the time? I realise that's an unknown but we have a pretty good idea by who else was released shortly after. Eddie, Bam bam, Tornado, All smaller names by a long shot. They held back on the big names for later series. Smartly. It's about having all era's represented thoroughly. That is what keeps the collector engaged. I, like most, am a fan of all eras. Good or bad. I have my pref's for sure, but I like Wrestling, not certain years of it. and I don't have this agenda, of throwing a hissy fit to get the mid 90's more represented. You are talking absolute shyte about that Elite 23 Undertaker. How do I know? I've been trying to sell one on my ebay for £24.99 for about 10 months. He is one of about 20 pre 2014 figures I've not been able to sell from the MOC collection. I've sold about 150 Elites. ABA Undertaker.....different story, I sold it for 60 pounds in a matter of days. DOn't just make stuff up, it was not even the most scalped Undertaker figure!! More confirmation bias... And again, you want to dig me out about not knowing how many of a figure were sold (despite it being confirmed by Bill in a Q&A, and then tell me I'm wrong about another. What are you an oracle? You have not made one good suggestion. Not a single one. Created of problems, avoider of solutions. Logic?!?!?! I get paid a consulting daily rate by an investment bank to be logical. It's just hard to know where to start when there are so many holes to pick at. You accuse me of glossing over your texts, I am now. Because like Mattel, I learn lessons. Adapt or die. Your messages are repetitive drivel, not worthy of more than a few mins.
