Has anyone confirmed case breakdowns on S8 yet? Sheik must be short packed. Series 8 is 2 per case. Confirmed. That's incredible. Yet, it's as if hes a Retro Harley Race. Makes no sense. Are there Sheik figs just sitting in the factory still? |

I thought the same when I read that. I thought for sure when Sheik was showing as so hard to find, they short packed Ryder and Sheik on this set and overpacked Hardy and Braun thinking those 2 would be super popular with the masses compared to the other 2. |

Got my shipment notifications tonight too! Glad, since I assume they'll hit retail around 2021.

If anyone took the time to watch the Q and A w/ Bill from WM, did he answer any questions about the retro line?
Don't have the time atm to sit through it, but I was curious if there was any news, or at least a "line is performing good and will continue" remarks or anything.

Got S7 inthe mail yesterday (yes we are a little late overhere in Germany). Finally sat down and opened all figures from S4-7 at once. Also got a Basic Macho Man (perfect head for Retros) and a Elite
Magnum TA (no clue what I am going to do with him, since I only collect Retros) in the Sale at Smyths Toys (5 € each).
Unfortunately my Balor Action feature is defect, but the figure needs an improvement anyway. The leg on Nakamura is very lose in the knee joint, is that a common issue?
Summed up, I really love the Retro line and the figures look great together (even displayed without the Hasbros).
I remember people were switching HBKs head for a Basic one, can anyone repost a pic of the head I need to look for pleas?
Will post pics tonight when everything is on display. 🙂

Don't have the time atm to sit through it, but I was curious if there was any news, or at least a "line is performing good and will continue" remarks or anything. I watched it late last night - there were a couple of questions referencing the line, the main one being about adding women which Bill was very enthusiastic about, but noted that it would require a sizeable investment of resources to tool the figures to add them. Reading into his answers it seems that the line is still very much alive and on their agenda going forward, but we were lacking a question straight-up asking "What's next for the Retros?". |

Here's mine:    |

Price went up on all Series 9 on Ringside, glad I pre-ordered mine. Won't be surprised if they all go on back order by the weekend. Series 8 will probably hit brick n mortar retail, if we're lucky, around June/July.

Curious to see what the release date will be for Series 10 - September ? I really hope earlier. That's a 5 month gap. 3 waves within 3 months and then nothing again for 5 or more months would suck. Same happened after series 6 though, but even longer. |

I stopped at 2 Target's tonight and I noticed the tag on the Retro hook said that they are now all $9.99. It also did not look like a sale tag, so hopefully this is now the price moving forward.
Do we know when Series 8 is expected to show up in stores? I thought it was suppose to be late March/early April.

If so, that means March early April 2020 for my area-let alone Series 9 and Ten lol. |
