I went to two Walmart's today looking for SS 1 and had no luck. It looked just like your pictures except it was all Basic 8. One Walmart had them in the display & in the regular spot on the shelf. The other Walmart had them in the display, on the shelf and even more near the clearanced toys because they ran out of room.

Well...at least your Walmart got something new in. The one I stopped at today didn't have any display that I saw and the only things on the normal shelves were fresh cases of Basic 7 and Elite 6.

You have your Wal-mart send mine all the Maryse and Kofi figures and I'll have mine send yours all the Undertaker and HHH figures. That's fair, right?  |

I was in my closest WalMart this afternoon and they had that display but it was empty (not stocked yet). Im about to go back in there and hope it's stocked with something worthwhile. (hopefully not Signature Series 1)

The other Walmart had them in the display, on the shelf and even more near the clearanced toys because they ran out of room. This sounds exactly like my day. I went to two Walmarts looking for the Signature Series as well (the only one I really want is Edge). One was was exactly the same as the pictures above, except Basic 8 instead of SS1. They had at least 10-15 of every person in the series, except Maryse. However, there had to be at least five of her as well. The other Walmart did not have a display and had a full case of Basic 5 on the shelf. I wonder how long they've had that in the back? |

Man...wish my Walmart had a case of basic 5 laying around. I could use the Hurricane now...lol. |

Figure this S out Mattel. Some Walmarts loaded with Signature Series 1, some with B8. Some Kmart shippers loaded with B8 some with Royal Rumble Heritage, some Kmarts with no shippers at all. The distribution patterns continue to confuse me.

Sig series 1 is the next set for me to find. I really need Edge and Rey. Maybe Taker.

Yeah, like you said, the shipping patterns are weird.
Some K-Mart's get RR Heritage and 2-packs 7, while the others gets Basic 8 and 2-packs 8.
Some Wal-Mart's get Basic 7, some get Basic 8 and some get Signature series.
Damnit. The distribution is getting a bit crazier.

Yeah.......we need to trade walmarts. Lol. I have looked for SS1 and continually find B8 en mass. I found a few RRH at another mart , but it was down to Taker and Orton so no sale there. Amazing how weird the distribution is again. Oh well they'll show up eventually. Good luck with B8 though. As hard as they hit here they will probably hit there too

At least you get a big WalMart display like this. Went to mine today and they have reset the action figure aisle. Get this though, the 2packs, basics, elites, and rings are on one side of the aisle and the other side has flex force and rumblers. How dumb!

That's a pretty good Mattel section for figs.
The change in the packaging is good I guess but Hornswoggle is not needed.

That's pretty cool that Mattel repackaged and updated it. And I can only dream of going to Wal-mart and seeing that.
