Target stores have had a shipment in of Elite Series 104. This is to occur when they have their sale on WWE Elite figures for $25.
Some Target and Toyworld stores did have stock of Series 101 and 102 in recently. I only found one figure at Target Ringwood, Target Greensborough and Toyworld Docklands. I am looking for 4 figures, 2 from each series. Cody Rhodes and Mr America from 101 and Rhea Ripley and Gunther from 102.

It has been since April 2023 that someone else has written on this page. Stores have not been looking like they are getting figures in. The last time they got figures in was September 2023 when they got Elite Series 104.
Since then the management of Target stores has been taken over by Kmart stores. This could mean the end of WWE figures at Target as Kmart stores don't have them. Target stores either have WWE figures that are a few series old, or they don't have them at all, with the space for them taken by something else.
With Target not stocking them anymore, it will leave Toyworld as the only store stocking them. You would think with a Premium Live Event coming to this country next month that they would be having stock in the stores at any opportunity.

Since Mattel took over collecting has been more painful with alot of lines not showing up in Australia and each store having random figures. When Jakks made WWE figures it was more easier to find and alot of stores carried the line, even Coles, Woolworths, Kmart and Myer had the random RA line with Myer/Kmart getting plenty of the Classic superstars line. |

Collecting of wrestling figures in Australia is terrible. The stores have decided to stop selling WWE figures has stopped many figures coming to Australia. Also with many figures being exclusive to stores in the United States. Figures that are exclusive to Target in the United States doesn't mean that Target will get them here in Australia. Figures that are exclusive to Walmart in the United States doesn't mean that Big W will get them here in Australia. Transformer figures that are exclusive to Walmart in the United States are exclusive to JB HiFi in Australia. Figures coming into Australia have gone back to how it was like in the late 1990's, when no one stocked them. With the internet you hear about figures coming out in the United States, but we don't see them here. |

The problem is with this PLE being in Perth is that the exposure in the Eastern States is not there. I don't know how ticket selling for Elimination Chamber is going. The event at the MCG sold over 75000. What they sell in Perth for a 60000 at Optus Stadium. |

In the late 90's I used to see some toy shops and large retailers like Kmart stocking the WWF BCA/TTL lines. I remember Kmart's used to get plenty of WCW figures compared to WWF ones. I think Mattel's probably been the worst for availability in Australia in my collecting time. |

Never saw a bend em, used to drool over them in magazines. Jakks I only saw one set of slammers and then the BCA with the mania 14 or 15 background. When I saw them my mind was blown. LOD, Owen Hart in black and yellow, Kane, Undertaker, Mankind, Rock, Austin etc. For a couple of years I saw loads, probably up until TTL first set or two. After that it was very sporadic again. I stopped then as I was in later high school. But few years later toys r us starting getting classics. That tempted me, but not briefly. Mattel finally gets me back in and they release bugger all over here. Infuriating. |

I guess it's the retailer's not wanting to stock WWE figures or the retailer's can't get any WWE figures from Mattel. |

Went to Target Knox today and they had new WWE figures in stock. They had Elite 107, Royal Rumble and Basic 144. They also had a Sami Zahn Elite Series 102, which was like what I saw back in September last year. I found at two Target stores only one figure from Series 101 or 102.

Was at Big W at Doncaster on Wednesday and they had WWE Elite 107 and Basic 144. So Big W has the WWE figures again.
Just saw a YouTube video of someone getting WWE figures at Target. They had Elite 106 and Basic 143. Seen them at three stores now, but only Elite 107 and Basic 144.

I found Elites at Toyworld, Big W and Target during August and September. I found Elite Series 108 at Toyworld, where I picked LA Knights from. I also found Series 108 at Target and Big W. If anyone is looking to pick up figures go to Big W Geelong, they had many figures there, probably about 30. They also go in Series 109.
Recently I found Elite Series 111 at Target. I picked up Cody Rhodes.
There is no warning that Series are going to be released. I found someone selling LA Knights on ebay. I won the bidding for it, but the selling removed it from sale. I then emailed all local Toyworld stores and the Ringwood store had one for me to pick up. After that stores like Target and Big W released Series 108. I found a couple of Series 111 figures at Target Knox City. I rang a few Target stores, some did not know what I was talking about. One did, and I picked up Cody Rhodes. It would be great if they released them in order of there series numbers.
