Just had my shipping notification... yay! 😊

Same here

[banditman]

Got it today, the packaging simply sublime, the magnets making it open like a book, the graphics, the way the figures look posed in the box. Top notch presentation

Mine’s not shipped yet - completed my order in the first few minutes but we’ve seen before that that doesn’t always have an effect.

These bungholes at Mattel Creations still haven't resolved my problems. Everytime I have been assisted they say it's being investigated. I dont hear back from them and then im back to square one. Their customer service is the absolute worst.

If I understood him correctly then the suits saw it was Ali and saw dollar signs and overprojected his appeal. But still sold well. Would’ve been a sell out if produced at the same numbers as previous figures.

...not bad for a "terrible exclusive" and "a figure no-one wanted"... 😄

I'd say the people who bought it wanted it or else they wouldn't have bought it, you just hyped yourself to much on what it could be

Currently on sale for $67.99 on WWEShop. As is the Rude/Jake Coliseum 2-pack.

No complimenting this figure, it didn't sell out in 5 minutes and nobody wanted or asked for it.

No movement on my order yet - with the next Retros set coming-up next week then maybe there will be a race between which set will arrive first?

Got mine today. I wonder why they included the one head twice…That has to be a first.

Same for me. I ordered as soon as it went up but have still had no shipping notice.
Has anyone else UK-based had their set yet?

I've not actually received mine yet, but I had a shipping notification last week...

Mine, for the UK, hasn’t been shipped yet. I’ve sent Mattel a message, but no response yet.

Interesting that so many of us in the UK are still waiting - have we been aware of Creations sending out "international" orders substantially later than US orders before?

I guess US companies in general probably prioritise US orders over others; I'd argue that they should do the opposite: i.e. since we outside the US have to naturally wait longer for products to arrive then companies should send-out orders to international paying customers first so they arrive around the same time as the US orders. And the same for UK companies, etc. Having a longer delivery time combined with a longer shipping time seems cruel 

But for Creations to have not shipped international orders a month later seems a little out of the ordinary for them?

I mean... they already f#@k us over on prices and import fees, so they may as well f#@k us over on delivery times too... 🙄

Brother, not only did it not sell out in 5 minutes like all the previous ones, it didn't sell out for over 5 weeks and counting! A resounding success!(said with tongue firmly in cheek).

Good point well made 

[dietpizzauk]

I just got a response from Mattel Creations. My order still says ‘unfulfilled’ on the website, with no notice of dispatch. However, it has shipped, and they’ve provided me a tracking number. I’d recommend sending them a message asking for tracking info, as it’s probably shipped, but not updated on the site. This is being sent to the UK.

I was trying to think if there’s been a bigger universally known star to appear in a wrestling figure line than Ali? Hogan and Rock I think are the only ones that comes close with Andre and Mr. T not far behind. Your next tier would be guys like Piper, Kaufman, Gronk, Macho, Slaughter, and Rodman.

[SteveHulk]

So, my Ali arrived today... yay! The box was a bit battered and has some nasty knocks on a couple of the corners... boo 😣 (really wish MC would give you the option of having it sent in another box... especially for international collectors).

Still, this is an awesome set... I'm pleased the "frosted" film peels off the windows, so they're clear (I didn't see this mentioned in YouTube reviews?). If this doesn't win "best packaging" in the year-end awards, I don't know what will...

[Apocalypse]

Im glad im not the only one sitting here waiting without any movement in tracking. Frustrating

Also i dont know but i wonder if anyone else got Joe Bruiser flashbacks from wcw vs nwo when they first seen this figure
