Rumour from a supplier that UE U.K. editions have been cancelled (from Angle set) going forward from Mattel.
Not sure how true? But also, where does this leave Legends too?

It wouldn't surprise me if that turned out to be true. Mattel does it again!

So, what we managed to get Andre, Rollins and Orton before the plug got pulled again? Good to give things a chance  |

I've been an ultimate completist in the past, but am very glad I decided to just pick and choose about a year ago.
Either way, this really sucks. I was really interested in picking up Bianca, Asuka, MNW Bret and Lashley.

Can't even think of a logical reason why. The price point was reasonable.

If Mattel canceled UE in the UK then it would be because the retailers didn’t order the minimum piece count for it to be worth Mattel to ship to the UK.

The guy is saying the rumor is that the UE UK EDITIONS are done, not the UE line as a whole.

Ah, the joys of being a Mattel collector in the UK... Coming back into the game seeing £27.99 legends and now this, it’s not been much fun. |

Mattel says doors are open but when smyths dont go for the lines Mattel then withdraws?, if they had any sense they would be pushing the lines more or offering some incentive/deals. Seems Mattel couldnt care less. Censoreds simply.
