For what it's worth, Big Lots got in those TRU TLC Basics (Henry, Kofi, ADR, Sheamus). Maybe Paul Bearer will also show up there.

Well, that sucks for you guys. Bill did say he was working on a different way to get Bearer released and hinted that the BAF lines may be coming to an end recently, so hopefully that will be the end of stuff like this happening. I know UK, US and Canadian collectors often argue about who got what set, and when they got it, but at the end of the day, it still sucks when one of us doesn't get a particular set. I hope those of you who need/want Bearer can get ahold of one somehow!

MDT didn't say the BAF line was coming to an end. He def said in the supercon video, that he was currently working on more. Maybe the BAF basics will end, since it seems they don't sell well.
I wonder if this Bearer BAF is cancelled for US release, will MDT re-release the figure (as Amazon exclusive or in a battlepack). Or will if create a new version. Maybe a basic articulation version using the Heyman basic mold?
if its not a straight re-release, i would love to see different legs. The skinny legs the BAF has look odd on him

that really sucks, I hope it finds a way in to my collection some how...
as for the Bryan in the set, anyone who has it can you tell me if its just a re-release or was it a figure we haven't seen in any other series?

It sucks for the collectors, but it also sucks for the developers. Someone put a lot of work into figures that will never see the light of day in the U.S.
I can't imagine sculpting & creating a figure & then having it never come out because a company like TRU is too stubborn to clearance old stock that isn't moving.
I'm sure we'll get another crack at this somehow....

I honestly didn't even know who was in this set anymore. I don't blame them, mine is so clogged with BAF Punk and old Booker T BAF's.

I have 0% interest in ordering a Paul Bearer online. Retail or death!

I'm sure we'll get another crack at this somehow.... I really hope Mattel learned from this and doesn't do any more BAFs with poor character selection. While (IMO) Booker was a good BAF figure, I DID NOT buy it until it was on sale. The only BAFs that I paid full retail price for were Ricardo and Cole (and BOTH sets had good character selection as well as good BAFs, well except Big Show). If the basics don't compel me to go out and buy them, that's a problem. Kofi, Bryan, Ziggler, and Sandow are all tough pills to swallow just to get Bearer.

I have everyone from that set. If anyone is just looking for just the figures for the set, I am willing to trade them for the Target HOF set.

I kinda want this line to be over. I'm much more content buying battlepacks with suited figs. This line is almost always repaints anyway.
