Because they have to have a listing to be in the inventory well regardless Mattel and Target really  ed this one up. it defeats Mattel’s purpose of getting these out for those who missed out so they don’t have to pay over retail. now they will still have to pay over retail if they can’t find them themselves Mattel got paid by Target for producing this line and that's all they care about, not the collectors. They can say they care, but it's just PR. Cold truth. |

Wow its almost like people should tell at wwe/mattel employees that this sucks and should not be acceptable in 2023 soon to be 2024. Weird how I say this about Jazwares chases and everyone acts like I’m wrong but in this board everyone complains about figures that despite being hard to find are still way easier to get Two totally different sectors of fans/collectors. Generally speaking, anything that is posted negatively towards anything related to the other company is either deleted or deleted followed by a warning bar increase. |

Saw a pallet of about 8 sidekick displays from various companies, one of which being Mattel/WWE. I asked the employee if I could get a couple figures out of the Mattel box. She said, "Sure, lets open it up." Found Harley on the pegs. The Target Circle discounts dropped Harley to $17.24 and Warrior/Honky to $17.99 each. Today was a good day. I also noticed that 2 of the 3 Targets I frequent, no longer have a spot for Basics?   |

Steve is one of us. But he's cock blocked by mattel/wwe definitely one of us. made some killer photography too. the man understands what we want, while Mattel understands money As far as i am concerned everyone who works in the wwe mattel is complicit. Distrubtion has been pretty awful, combined with all these situations that just happen to pop up. |

Between this distribution farce and giving the Monday Night Wars line (and other exclusives) to Walmart, I'm pretty much indifferent now. I don't get excited anymore over what's coming out, and the "Gotta have 'em all" attitude I had towards Golden Era to Ruthless Aggression figures is over. I'm probably not the only one, either. It's a shame.

Insert funny meme here I guess? |

Distribution is hit or miss, but you can find most figures online e.g. Amazon, Target, Walmart, RSC. Walmart is the store that worries me the most , but I feel they have improved. The problem is people don’t want to be patient and throw fits when they can’t find figures right away. There is always going to be one offs like this set, but it is what it is. feel Mattel is doing a great job. My only complaint is that I want to see more elites from the “Golden Era”. However, it’s a great time to be a wrestling fan and collector!
