Ive just come to accept that anything mattel says is "exclusive to target" is actually "exclusive to ebay" for twice the price....Wouldnt be surprised if it was mattel employees selling it cause they're NEVER on the Target shelves. Ive still yet to see the last year or this years Royal Rumble series!

i feel like we are going to regress hard with these "Collectors Edition" figures
Walmart got 950,000 Elite 79 Undertakers. Every other one, you're lucky to maybe run into one. and a bunch I never saw at all after checking all the time.
Target is the absolute worst when it comes to the WWE line. I fully expect to never see another Collectors Edition figure at Target. With Ringside apparently not getting them now, it's going to be a nightmare again. With Davey I will be ok because I do have the other Davey's at least...but Kama is a figure I've wanted for YEARS (and so have a lot of people)...making him a store exclusive is a massive letdown.

These sets were hit and miss for me. I saw all but 1 of last years and have not seen one from this year's set.

I'm posting two packages with Bulldog figures to the US early next week, with a third package to Canada on hold for a little bit with a couple of other figures from the Royal Rumble set - I've been quoting about £17 tracked delivery minimum based on the guidance on the Post Office website (some UK posters might be able to comment on if that sounds about right?), which makes it around $51 US for one figure. Adding a few more figures shouldn't add too much more to the shipping across the Atlantic so might be worth considering combining with a friend or grabbing an extra to customise into Dynamite or something to make the shipping expense more palatable.
I've also pre-ordered a Kama who is destined for the US when he arrives with me.
Honestly I think it's good for the UK supporters to help supply you guys in North America with Smyths products - we're always in danger of them dropping lines (like they did with the Retros and the Ultimate Editions) or figures from individual waves if they don't sell well enough, so if we can get a few more moving across to you guys in the US then it's a little bit likelier that Smyths will continue buying-in these extra figures, so can be win-win.

Just tried a few different ship forwarder sites to get Kama and it was about $61. $7 was fees.

Yeah £17 sounds about right for a small parcel weighing between 250g - 500g. It's usually about $50 all in to ship TO an individual figure to the USA. I'm happy to ship one over if anyone needs one.

Hi everyone, Davey Boy Smith is now back in stock at Smyths - grab him while you can! UPDATE. Kama is available for pre-order! Bummer it doesn't ship to the US.

Smyths only ships to UK That's because they only do business in the UK. 🤦♂️ No they don't...they have shops in countries outside the uk. Ireland for instance... Smyths is actually an Irish store/multinational with branches in the uk 😉

Wish ringside was getting these because I feel like the collectors edition where actually obtainable sometimes below retail while they carried them, unlike kassius ohno who I may never get at this rate as well as riot squad liv and Pete dunne.

I am SOOO glad to see UK collectors finally get a break on these figures, given all the issues they've had in the past.
