The Grayson Waller Effect - variant woes

[theghost]

Bit of a rant, I'm in Australia so maybe we got shafted with case assortments - I'm convinced that Elite 107 chase variant (black gear) is packed more than the regular (white gear). Why Mattel do this??? What makes matters worse is ordering "the regular" version from Amazon, the chase variant arrived. This makes me incredibly sad. Found him in store twice and both times the chase variant. I see people selling the chase on Facebook groups... seems like the regular white gear is at absolute unicorn status.

Any other countries experiencing this effect?

From the 5-6 times I've seen him it's the white gear. US based

Same. Have seen him a handful of times, no chases.

The only time I found Waller it was the chase. Just one.

I haven’t even found him in stores yet

The 4 times that I’ve seen his figures in stores, they were all the regular version. I’m located in America for what it’s worth, guess Mattel decided to ship all the chases down under for whatever reason lol

So I've deduced that whatever gets distributed to Australia, we seem to get the chase version as regular stock.

Just recently, Main Event 150 hit stores here. All I've seem is the CM Punk green/pink chase. The regular has been found, but barely. It's like they've swapped them around.

And now Elite 111 is hitting, the American pants Sandman is what people are finding (and I found one today!).

Wonder if Mattel do something weird with what goes through Australia. We often get case assortments that omit the females (ie. Bayley and Chelsea were never available here) and sometimes omit the "Legend" (ie. Terry Gordy).

It does seem that Elite 111 is the full set, Trish is available here. And in previous waves, Cora Jade made it out (and then pegwarmed, backing up Mattel's practice to omit the femmes).

In any case, be my friend and maybe I'll find a chase for you!

I think other than one black attire I have only seen the white attire.

I got the chase Becky yesterday from Amazon (US).

Only saw Waller on a peg twice and both were the white versions. I had ordered mine from Amazon and that too was the regular white one. But in my experience finding him on a peg at all was kinda limited.

I've only ever seen him in stores once, and it was the white version. But I haven't seen him since the couple that were on the Summerslam shipper, buried in a swamp of Solo and Taker
