Has Series 2 fully shipped? At this point, is there any sense continuing to check? I haven’t seen anyone post a picture of Series 2 on the pegs in weeks.

There are literally only 2-3 new listings a day on eBay for MNW figures and typically they’ve been the Ultimates.

Just checking on Smyths site here...Hogan is the only MNW guy you can still order online.

We can still get HHH here in England ... for now lol

I'll be very happy if we can get the next wave completely off an online order from Smyths across the whole of the UK

Here in Ireland I was 50% Click n Collect 50% online...hoping I can score all 4 one way or another.

But I don't want blue HH...so I'm wondering should I try get them in person

This is what I want to know. I gave up two weeks ago, realized that day after day, nothing was coming in and I wasn't even seeing new findings on Facebook or these boards...

I really refuse to believe that they shorted us on this line after we made our frustrations abundantly clear and we were told that "changes were coming"..... and I tend to think there HAVE to be more coming.....

But there's no way for us to know.

Just what I consider an educated guess, but no, they haven't. We saw wave 1 trickle out a bit, then the Wrestlemania displays hit and a lot of us got them there. Walmart then reset their aisles, and stores then got in case or cases of these for the pegs. So a trickle of Wave 1 in Feb/March (remember them hitting Paulmart for a hot minute?) then much more in April, then again in May with the resets.

I think what we are seeing is the initial trickle of Wave 2, and would fully expect maybe Julyish seeing more of these on the pegs. These pegs are scheduled to be in the aisles for a long while, at least through the end of the year - and I am basing that on the fact that there are at least 4 waves of this coming out. So planning on the pegs there through at the very least the end of the year. I would expect Wave 2 to be hit or miss but around until early fall, then this holiday season will be Wave 3.

For better or worse, I am comparing it to the RA line, so depending on how that was in your area, I would expect more of the same with this line. Personally, I found them all in the wild, but feel a bit lucky about a couple of the figures - specifically Miz and MVP from the last wave. And Bischoff from wave 3 (or was it 4?) as I was there shortly after the endcap was put up and they had like 4 Bischoffs on the shelf.

Well the series 3 online presells from Walmart-dot-com are "scheduled" to be coming in August....

Now I know full well that their website is full of BS and they likely won't ship at all..... but it's all we have to go on, really....

So I'm thinking if we don't see Series 2 by late July we aren't going to see them at all.

Hope I'm wrong.

[J-MANN]

I’m glad I lucked out and found the complete series 2 wave nearly a month ago. Seen them again in a different Walmart about two weeks after that. Hopefully they start hitting for everyone else soon.

[Legends Collector]

For us folks in UK I'd say so, MNW3 already scheduled for the beginning of July at Smyths.

I also hope this line get us the re-release of Patterson and Briscoe somewhere down the road!

[azraelms]

Well, per another thread, it looks like Series 3 is starting to be found on shelves.

Just saw the photo on Twitter. I’m really hoping series 2 and 3 will be plentiful. Let’s see how Walmart handles the series 3 pre orders as well.

[JokerFC]

Series 3 is due here in Ireland at the beginning of July. Here's hoping it's a pleasant experience 🤣🤣

[Grenouille]

Still haven’t seen 2, I have all of 3 pre-ordered. Not looking forward to hunting the Harlem Heat chases.

[Back to the Codyverse]

If I can just get both sets of Harlem Heat I'll be happy

[LA Knight Yeah!]

Wonder who is in series 5 and 6

[GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy]

Just got my MNW Bret in and I have to say this figure is probably one of my favorite releases in a long TIME. Honestly, besides the ugly headscans it’s really one of Mattel’s finest works. I wish they would just nail the hair and face right. I feel like when Mattel does a decent job with the face, the hair is usually bad and vice versa. I like the pink shade on this Bret better than the og DM we had years back. That Bret was my go to. Honestly, at this point I really want Mattel to give us another shot at the pink tights Bret. I think if they use the pink from this Bret and release it as an Ultimate it’ll be a home run. Btw, do any of you guys know which figure has the same skin tone as this Bret, but with black wrist bands???

[wrestlingfan0815]

Thinking some stores will still be getting series 2 because with how scarce it’s been so far there’s gotta be more out there

[GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy]

Anyone here an Eddie Guerrero aficionado? Besides some wanting him to have white wrist tape (me included), did he ever wear black soled boots in WCW? From the images I’ve seen they were usually white and I’m curious to see what Mattel used as reference. Either way, I prefer the white soles, but could repaint them if they’re not accurate.

[Keck Collects]

I wonder if there will be a repeat of last year for Walmart, where Summerslam, MNW 2 and 3, and various elites come in all at once?

[JC Motors]

I was lucky enough to find Fake Diesel a few weeks ago. That was the only figure I wanted.

[mrassbillygunn]

My local Smyths only had Triple H from series 2. I just dont get it, where are the other figures from the wave, its just all HHH.
