From Mattycollector:
But yeah, sucks big time! Last e-mail I received from them was about Club Filmation/Castle Grayskull; not interested!

Matty always makes his customers happy!
Sorry for anybody who hasn't found Liz and missed out on this non-sale.

I was going to purchase her today, but my friend found her at a Wal Mart over an hour and a half away last weekend and traded me her for my kids replica WWE championship and the kids replica white strapped IC title. I felt even though i paid double for her anyways, it was still a good deal as I really didn't have to pay any money for her at all this month, and managed to still get her. I'm glad I don't have to get figs from Matty anymore right now then. I prefer ordering from RSC, tru.com, or picking them up at Retail.

I got Elizabeth's Elite a few weeks ago on ebay for a bit more money since I've never seen her figure in the stores and I didn't think that Matty would have her.

They took their stock from the mass retail 1 per 2 case numbers...so there were far less of her to begin with. I've seen you say this before, but do you really believe that they're taking full cases, pulling out the Liz, and sending the rest of the case somewhere else? If so, where are they sending them? Not to any mass retail location, and they're not selling the rest of the series (except HBK) on Matty. Toy companies can pack cases however they want and I'm sure they did a special run of cases with only Liz and cases with only HBK, or half cases of each, or however they decided to split them up. I don't know if they got any from Mattel, but RSC has in the past received full cases of only one figure from a series from Jakks Pacific. And you've seen with your own eyes a TRU that received a full case of only Ryback.

And you've seen with your own eyes a TRU that received a full case of only Ryback. Yes I saw a full case of Rybacks on the pegs of my TRU. The employee who was looking for the Liz for me had just finished stocking the aisle when I got there last Sat. She had just put out a full case of B27 Rybacks.(12) she said that was all that was in the case. As for the Elizabeth what I'd guess they got her and HBK out of their regular production run. They not pulling them out of cases, but rather held some back for Matty during the production fun. It's easy enough to do with the revision cases. Hell even if they did pull them from cases they could just put those cases on their regular Mattel in online store or in their Mattel stores.

Any idea if they will be getting her back in? I hid her at my local Walmart and they found where the figure was hidden and I have been going crazy looking for this figure and can't find it anywhere? Any idea if the figure will be restocked at any point? Thanks

And you've seen with your own eyes a TRU that received a full case of only Ryback. Regardless of whether they did an extra little run or pulled them out of cases, the fact remains that 100% of the production run of Legends figures in 2012 was sold on Mattycollector. And it flopped. They didn't want to be in the same position. So the amount of Miss Elizabeth flashback figures on Mattycollector was clearly not going to be anywhere near the same amount as they had of the Legends figures. They put a few up just as an extra bonus place for collectors to get hold of the figure. But the inventory was probably in the hundreds rather than the thousands and thousands of Arn/Tully/DDP/Bundy etc figures they stocked.

To whomever cares, I have an extra MOC Liz that I'd be happy to trade for pretty much anything I need.
