It's almost like target (and maybe with mattel's help) sabotaged the online ordering process so people would give up and go to the actual stores.

This is a bit off the topic but i cant wait to see if Walmart.com can top this with the release of DOD coming in the next few weeks. We've seen Target fail its Walmarts turn now. Besides the fact I'm 100% sure these wont turn up in store before the release date (or after for that matter) but i just want to see how bad they screw up the pre order. Won’t be long, if they get shipped on time. My order says arrives 8/20. |

Wow, kinda odd to have a preorder delayed 3 times when it’s already in stores.

Prices on eBay aren't totally insane TBH, especially considering wasted time and gas if you strike out. Plus we're under a pandemic still, so toy hunting has become somewhat of a luxury. I got Razor and Heenan through Facebook and I might just go the eBay route for Heenan. Most of them are. |

My Target has put out at least 3 cases now. Cases of 5 are looking like a pretty good change.

it's kind of funny that hammer is packed one per case in the release patterns i have seen...with the yellow tights being a chase figure every 3 or is it 4 cases? so in essence, in those 1 per case numbers...it also kinda makes the black tights a chase figure as well be default?

If I had money like the dude from amazon I would absolutely open up a toy store. A whole new chain. Collecting without Toys R Us just isn't very fun.

Mattel and Target completely, totally, and utterly failed on distributing this line. I'm sorry, there's no other way to say it. This was a complete and total fiasco. A debacle. Heenan and Razor are readily available on the pegs in a ton of different cities, including my own. It's absolutely fine, lol. I visited a target recently that had 6 Heenans... |

I know some were excited about that figure but I personally don’t want it as I already have the two other Heenans. I just think it’s a weak choice to release that goofy one-time gimmick figure in a wave ushering in the returning legends. And then the short-pack the one wrestler we’ve been asking for for so many years, lol. |

I only saw Valentine once (the chase no less), but I’ve seen seemingly hundreds of Heenan and Razor due to the heavy hunting I did for Valentine the first week. Valentine has been extremely tough.

Starting to really warm pegs in my area now. Just saw two regular Valentine’s at one location. Packaging didn’t look great but there were 9 total Legends there on the pegs. I’m still looking for a running change Razor to keep MIB.

I’m still looking for a running change Razor to keep MIB. I really wish we could stop using "peg warming" and "being reasonably available" interchangeably. If the figures are still there at Halloween, they're warming. But being able to actually find a product at retail two weeks after it released is...the way it should work. You shouldn't have to find a case .5 seconds after it hits the floor to be able to own mass produced toys. |

My concern with this release is that the Sting upheaval left an undesirable case breakdown that I hope doesn’t hurt the line overall. I guess I got a little too used to only seeing Valentine if I asked for a fresh case in the back. I second your opinion. I’d like to be able to find future releases easily as well. |

Every target I've been to have these in stock. More Henans than razors & no Valentine's. Just like I predicted to myself lol. I'm a big henan fan but that's a terrible looking figure carded. He would have looked better aka sold better in anything but that weasel suit. The razor figure would have popped better if he had a matching blue vest. Yes I'm aware it's inaccurate but these 2 figs look off on display. At one store I scanned one figure & it said they had 24 on hand. That can't be right? Can it? While I was never worried about finding this set. I'm actually a little concern about the one afterwards if these hang around for too long
