Hey…that pitch meeting was supposed to be confidential… it sucks man because some of us live nowhere near a Target and will have to overpay scalpers or hope someone is nice enough/can find them and ship to us for cost plus shipping, but then we still have to overpay because of covering the shipping 😔 or we’ll just have to do without I think people who work for the wwe/mattel team want us to drive all around looking for these figures. Its either that or they do not give a sheet, pick your poison. |

The only ones from this set that makes sense to rerelease is warrior & bulldog. Bulldog is from way back early on & warrior was a Walmart exclusive which I never saw. They should have rereleased syxx from the same set as Walmart warrior. Honky was on clearance at every GameStop even online. And the funk set made it to big lots for $10. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

Lowkey weird that people complain about figures being rereleased, lol. I think it's great these figs are getting reissued with double jointed arms, interchangeable hands, true fx head-scans. If you don't like it don't buy them.

He's a glaring omission from my collection. |

Probably the only one I would think about picking up would be Bulldog and that's not a sure thing.

As a MOC 80’s collector, I’d like Honky in the Legends packaging. Of course, I’d like him better in the Coliseum Collection packaging.

Warrior's belt still looks off - more pink/fuchsia than light purple/lavender.
They've had over 10 years to get the color right.
Hair is still wrong too, but they aren't fixing that until they rerelease it as an Ultimate and even then, they might not (like WM 6).
Hopefully, they fix the belt color and release it with another Iraqi Slaughter since elite 89 was disappointing.
I don't think there was ever an answer about HTM jumpsuit and if they fixed the fading problem. So I imagine the answer is they didn't.

I find it funny that they are re-releasing figures so people who weren’t collecting then or couldn’t find back then have a 2nd chance to get. Then instead of making them readily available, they make them a store exclusive with no online availability. So other than scalpers or people that have Targets near them with unlimited time to hunt, these will be impossible to find

"Not replenishable and Not likely to be online," like every other sidekick. Target E100s were like that--4/8 Targets in my area got the E100 sidekick and they were raided quickly. This will be no different; thankfully all I really care about is Warrior.
The rest are just a bonus. I feel bad for the people who want these and have a hard time getting them. Collecting these things, in 2023, should not be this challenging.

How would the trailer park know how ballin we are without super rare wrassler figures… |

If you don't like it don't buy them. I LOVE them, and probably won't be able to buy them! |

They had the same shipper display for the old man warrior and eddie guerrero set. there were plenty of restocks for that set. Why are people saying it's 1 and done? Because you’re on a forum where there’s nothing but crying and negativity I know! What the heck is wrong with these people who are disappointed a lot of really cool figures aren't gonna be easily purchased online and will only be available once in retail stores making them really hard to find? Be happy, ffs! |

There is literally no place for regular elites anymore. |

There is literally no place for regular elites anymore. Allegedly. E100 was a special sitch where Mattel gave Target sidekicks of the set (celebratory 100th Elite series, make it feel special, yadda yadda). It seems like they do these sidekicks in the middle of the 3-month run of product, to keep things fresh before the next reset. |

It’s ridiculous that some seem to forget this. We’re all here because we sought this place out, not happenstance. For any of these jabronis to stand atop their soap box and tell us our hobby isn’t important is ludicrous. It’s the whole reason those hypocrites are even here. |

Found the full set today, hadn't been touched. Have them all so just grabbed warrior for the belt. Since no one reads the KY findings, if anyone is interested, couple full sets were at St Matt target in Louisville today along with a few blue cages.
