Saw these this morning in target- 6.99 for a 2 pack-- 19.99 for the ring (ring and 2 figures)- 9.99 for deluxe (accesories and 1 figure)...
On the shelves were 4 different 2 packs, 1 ring playset and 2 different deluxe packs---
And in typical mattel fashion they once again start with the DCIH and Toy Story Buddies issues-- when will they ever learn..
Of the 4 packs all 8 are different figures and characters-- but the ring includes 2 characters that are exactly the same as one of the 2 packs- and of the 2 deluxe packs-- one of them includes a figure that is exactly the same as one of the two packs (no repaints, no different arm nothing-- same exact figures)..
So in a span where they could have had 12 new figures-- you only get 9-- and this is just the rollout wave.. SHS and Galactic Heroes didnt repack figures until several waves in (and all of the multipacks were usually at least 50 % new stuff).
And since im not up on the current WWE I cant complain about their choices- but with all the colorful characters and outfits from wrestling-- the initial wave is pretty ho hum with only Undertaker, John Cena and Rey mysterio-- not being the typical bare chested with trunks look (albeit with some in more akward poses (another reason it bugs me with what they do with the line).
Ill be very picky and choosy in this line filling out my collections, however the sooner they get to classics of these the better I think for their bottom line.

Target-- they were just out there so it looks like case of 12 for the 2 pocks (3 of each)- Deluxe was also evenly packed-- there were 6 of each on the pegs.
2-Packs:6.99 John Cena & Sheamus (EXACT SAME AS THE WRESTLING RING) CM Punk & R Truth Triple H & Shawn Michaels Rey Mysterio & John Morrison
Playsets: 9.99 Ladder Match (w/John Morrison)- (EXACT SAME AS 2 PACK) Casket Match (w/Undertaker)
Blast & Bash Battle Ring (w/John Cena & Sheamus)-19.99

Its nice to know Mattel has packed most of the same 8 figures into the singels, 2 packs, the Deluxe Sets, the TRU multipack and Wal Mart Exclusive 3 packs.
I mean if you are going to release Ray Mysterio 5 different ways-- at least give him a different paint job..

Yeah this series is already pissing me off, But MAttel does this with all WWE products. I am sure we will see the same five figures again and again and again. In the meantime we will get a few new figures but not many.

According to wrestlingfigs.com people are starting to find wave 3 at retail. They have shown in hand pics of Kane(looks amazing!!!) /Rey and Taker/Mark Henry with barbell and weights. Accoridng to the reports over there the back shows: Jack Swagger/Cena, Evan Bourne/Miz, Santino/JoMo, Goldust/Kofi, Sheamus/Randy Orton, Taker/Henry Kane/Rey (blue/yellow)
Keep your eyes open for them.

I never got into these, I have any affinity for wrestling.
Also did these things sky rocket in price around other people? I regularly see them going for $8-9 a pack now.
