A lot of nice reveals yesterday. But as I scroll through, it feels unlikely I’ll be able to score many of these, if any, especially with lockdowns, and people losing their jobs, and non-essential items being stocked a lot less. It was hard enough to find store exclusives and chases when we weren’t locked down. Now with all this covid bs, who is willing to risk their lives to go against lockdown orders for Pete Dunne and Hollywood Hogan?
Please Mattel. I’ll launch you a Shopify site where people can safely buy figures from their homes.

walmart, Target, Mattel and WWE already all have online shops, so all they need to do is list them.

Mattel should make wrestling figures that can dispense hand sanitizer

I really hope Target will follow Walmart's lead and put their figures up online in reasonable quantities. But I don't have high expectations.
I want the Legends figures in the worst way, but I don't see any way I'm setting foot in a Target until at least July.

Yeah it was hard enough for me to gather the willingness to take the 60-minute drive before...

Most of these won't be out for a long time and *knocks on wood* this Covid-19 business will hopefully be behind us.

None of These new releases will be sent out this year more than likely, so you’ll probably be waiting around this time next year before you see any of this new stuff.

I just want someone in the UK to stock the legends series, or for RSC to at least get them.

So Idk how thay will affect the Mattel business over there

^ Well that’s not Mattel’s fault. Mattel doesn’t just ship product to retailers if the don’t order it. And if the UK retailers are refusing to order it Mattel’s hands are tied.
Difficult? Not at all. As long as they make the figures Mattel’s not making it difficult at all. Hell I was able to preorder the Walmart figures I wanted yesterday without any issues. Now hopefully Target follows suit with the Legends line.

The current situation is what it is. Mattel isn't making anyone's life more difficult because they're continuing to crank out figures. You want them to stop production altogether and more people lose jobs? What about stopping exclusive figures that stores are paying them to make to increase foot traffic? WTF are you actually wanting to happen?
There's multiple places to shop online (sh*t, RSC basically runs this joint) and by the time most of these figs come out it'll be mid-summer.

Putting them online would be the best route. Walmart has the right idea putting their Decade of Domination figs up for preorder online and I can only hope Target does the same for the Legends.

I’ll launch you a Shopify site where people can safely buy figures from their homes. This post almost sounds like you're blaming Mattel for COVID-19. Some products have already been confirmed to be delayed and that's totally out of Mattel's control. For someone like UE Hogan who is confirmed for UE series 7 we likely won't see that figure until Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 anyway. As someone who lives in Canada and misses out on basically every store exclusive because we simply don't receive them, I still feel it's unfair to pin the blame on Mattel here. And I'm sorry but there are much more important things to worry about right now than action figures.

I’m happy they’re cranking out figures. Just having a discussion here. I want to hear what others think. Sometimes I speak in hyperbole. With everything going on, it’s becoming difficult prioritizing this hobby. I’m lucky to be able to work still, for now, but I’m not sure what the new normal is going to be, and I am still trying to get Pete Dunne and Kassius Ohno, damnit.
