Checked the Target across town today, no end cap.

kirk815 Let me ask you a question has over the last 4 years, has distribution of wwe mattel figures in your are gotten better, worse, or stayed about the same ?

Do you enjoy hunting for wwe figures or is it a hassle in 2023, soon 2024 ?

I give mattel and target credit, the exclusive legends minus this set have been 300% easier to buy in store.

I am comparing that to all the previous target exclusives which have been god awful and horrendous to find.

There is no way that every wwe mattel employee that has worked there for a while does not know distribution wwe figures overall is really bad.

Why has distribution not improved and I would say gotten worse ? It has absolutely gotten worse at walmart stores. Target might have given up and stopped selling main line elites.

So yes every wwe mattel employee is absolutely complicit in the awful distribution, and the scalper culture that exists.

Matt Cordana even made jokes about it on the podcast "di-di-distribution problems". Its feast or famine out there, and its why ringside collectibles is making so much money today.

We can not rely on mattel to get there wwe figures to retail anymore.

J-MANN does any of the targets in your area sell main line elites still or no ?

[Grenouille]

They had them out here in southern Maine. Grabbed Bulldog and Honky.

There is one peg labeled WWE Action Figures for $22.99, one peg labeled WWE Top Picks Figures for $22.99, individual pegs for each of the Legends Elites and one peg for the Ultimate Rock.

The ones I found wasn’t on the end cap. They were on the Lego isle at the end of the isle, but not the “end cap.” So it’s best just walk up and down every toy isle if you want to find them.

[FigFanVader]

Went to a Target this morning and saw no signs of the sidekick display but found one lone Bulldog on the bottom shelf of the board games. I searched through the toy aisles but no signs of any others. Bulldog was the one I wanted most anyway, so I was satisfied. When I got to the checkout it rang up $27.99, and with tax was over $30. Geez, for that price I could have saved myself the search and just got one on ebay.

How do we find out how much money Ringside is make today?

Saw them today. Thought about Funk and starting an ECW collection but said nah. Got Mr Perfect for my nWo display, swapped a hand with a Wolfpack sign one and threw the US title on him. Got Bulldog too, he can go with my WCW theme.

[loosecannon]

I was able to find the display today in Matthews, NC. Went to two other targets yesterday and didn't find them so thankfully I lucked out. Took home Warrior, HTM and Bulldog. If I see Funk on clearance later on, I'll grab him

Just found the whole sidekick in northern AL. It was just randomly dumped towards the end of the Marvel Legends aisle. Not on the endcap, just sitting on the floor. It was completely untouched, though, so I was able to grab a set. They also had the new cage which I wish I had grabbed.

[LostHawk05]

I’m drawing a blank, has the lavender belt been released before or is this the first time?

It’s easy to find wrestling figures in Alabama. I’ll go to Walmarts and see stuff stocked to the ceilings . Like the RVD/Brock UE everybody has been trying to find, I saw those like a month ago and they’re all still at the same store with a few old Roman reigns UEs. It’s like nobody around here cares to buy them, whcih I won’t complain lol.

First time. The last one came with a teal one.

[banditman]

I really hope that Honky Tonk jumpsuit doesn't fade like the GameStop one

Well, we still haven’t gotten a lavender belt.
