Always find it funny when people say stuff like "lol you're complaining about toys". We're all on a toy forum. Nobody has any moral highground over this stuff. Stop bickering. It’s more so the complaining over things that are out of people’s hands. Steve has expressed multiple times that once the figures are out of their warehouse, it’s in the hands of the company selling them. In this case, it’s Amazon. Not sure if you’re aware of this, but TONS of items are being delayed in the world right now. This isn’t new and unheard of. To come onto a forum and literally throw a verbal hissy fit is extremely childish. We just point out the silliness in it. Steve doesn’t have the answers. The figures are slowly shipping out. People are getting them. Unfortunately it’s a situation that nobody has a clear cut answer to explain why. It’s okay though. We’ll either get the figures at some point, or we’ll *gulp* be given our money back. It happens. I wouldn’t even try to argue with them anymore. They literally are like trying to reason with a brick wall. It’s easier to reason with my little toddler nephew than a lot of the people here. They act like Polly Pissypants over the smallest things. A lot of them are entitled nitwits and it’s not worth the time or possible ban to engage them. Last 5 years so many great people have left the board and replaced with some of the worst of the worst, Don’t fall into their trap of engaging them, Trust Me, A lot of them are too thick headed to understand how anything works. |

Once again.....sigh.... none of your "promo"? Above has anything to do with the fan takeover thread. You infact are insulting people by calling them nitwits and pissypants. Your clearly trying to stir the pot, fantakeover, fan takeover recievings, fan takeover release dates - even fan takeover flaws and issues with hogan and hardy. Everyones opinion and gripes. As long as the thread remains on topic then thats the point. But you coming on name calling and acting out completely off topic is.....just terrible. Apart from that hope you have just a swell day |

Slaughter - was an SDCC exclusive and hard to get for EVERYONE. Batista - hasn't been released yet, so we're not sure Jeff - you can still get for under £30 on Amazon UK. Hogan/Warrior/Triple H - are (or were) available to pre-order from Amazon (US). You'll get them when they get them... first come, first served. The Rock - again, he was available to pre-order on Amazon (US) for months. That's absolute nonsense mate. The words above are...a vast collection of proverbial garbage. Let me educate you on the FACTS 1. Hulk Hogan pre orders are already hilariously late and still showing as august for alot people, even though they have been shipping to others for weeks 2. The warrior was supposed to be out by now, again nobody knows what's happening there, and judging by hogan even pre orders aren't certain. 3.i didn't say there were no pre orders available ever - I said exclusives are ruining the line. And they are. There are now 12 series, that's 24 standard release figures and for some monkeyass reason they chose to repeat many of them. 2 hogan's (3rd coming) 2 fiends, 2 cenas, 2 rocks, 2 hhh - the exclusives are simply difficult to get hold of, and when a company like Mattel choose to make certain figures difficult to obtain they wipe out half of the collectors who wanted to collect them all. The famous "collect em all" isn't an option and the exclusives numbers are catching up with the main line - I've never seen any other available sets with so many exclusives. Exclusive to Walmart - yeah....that's great for the rest of the world. Scalper heaven more like. The simple fact is this - Mattel need to start using their heads or ultimates will just be the next legends...or defining moments...or flashback series...or retros. They will be a thing of the past if they don't better their distribution Almost all of the released chapters in the Ultimate line have been exclusives. Of the 26 announced mainline Ultimate figures released/announced, there have been 4 repeats: Cena, Rock, Hogan, and Fiend, and the differences in character, era, and appearance between both 2001 Rock and 2013 Rock and 1985 Hulk Hogan and 1997 Hollywood Hogan are so vast that might as well count as different characters. That leaves Cena and especially Bray being the glaring mainline rereleases (though frankly I prefer the second Cena) making it 2 of 26 announced figures. By your logic of Exclusive being harder to come by and "collect them all" wouldn't exclusives being repaints be better since it means it's presumably easier to get one of each character? |

most of them are easily obtainable for retail if you pay attention
I got every Amazon UE for retail or under at least once, some 2 or 3
Only UE that was hard to get was Sgt Slaughter bc it sold out in 5 min with no restocks. I didn’t try for it so idk how hard it was in those 5 min but as long as you’re paying attention these shouldn’t be hard to get
