Okay, So I live in a smaller town so we have a small Wal-Mart.....They haven't stocked any new figures for quite some time now. For the last, I dunno, 2 months there has been nothing but 4 Basic series 6 Drew McIntyre's on the shelf.
Anyone else experience this type of drought at Wal-Mart recently?

It's the only place that carries figures here. The next closest store that carries Mattel figures is Fergus Falls, MN which is 30 miles from where I live or Fargo, ND which is 50 miles. So, I have to travel some to figure hunt. |

The Walmart's here are exactly the opposite and it sucks because I can't find WM Heritage 2. 5 out of the 6 stores have figures literally falling off the pegs of Basic 8, RR Heritage & Sig Series.

mine sucks too...they had a pretty good run around the holiday's,getting Elite 6 in and Basic 7...but since then,nothing exciting...currently on the pegs:
Basics: some OTL stragglers...Sig. Series Edge and HHH
Elite's ; Basic 6 remenants - Goldust,Shad,JTG,1 Punk....this store NEVER put out Series 7...
2-packs : ton of Series 7 left from before the holidays,now about 3 cases of Series 8 rotting...
Legends : 1 Paul Orndorff sits,unloved on the shelf,not even hanging on the pegs...
Rumblers: just the Undertaker and JoMo sets wit the grave and table...ring,too...
Mysterio Superstar Match-Up's, a couple rings,and some Belts round out the experience...

Is it just lazy employee's that don't bother to check and see if something needs to be ordered or restocked, or is it the warehouses that don't bother with these small market Wal-Mart's? |

The Wal-mart near me has no Basic figures. They just have Legends 4 and a few for Elite 7 (no hbk).

The Wal-Marts around here are terrible. Loaded with Dreamer/Christian two-packs.

Mine has had nothing new except Flex Force. Only time I saw anything but that was when Elite 1 came out.

My Wally World isn't the greatest but it's got an alright selection of semi-recent figs. I believe a few of the Wally World's by me finally stocked up on 2pack series 9. Don't know when they went in stock but I'm glad they got it in fairly quickly (I'm assuming).
They still haven't got in any Elite 8's but I heard Wal-Mart and Target just got them in stock so maybe mine just hasn't gotten them yet. All in all, mine doesn't have a huge drought now like they did back in the Elite Series 4 time (that was horrible for me).

the problem with the walmarts by me is they will have nothing for 4-6 weeks then they will put out a ton of new stuff and i cant afford to drop like $150 on stuff so i gotta space out or make choices

I'm in a very small town and surprisingly my Walmart has kept getting stuff. Recently we've got two shipments of Elite 7, 2 shipments of WrestleMania Heritage 2, 2packs 8, Rumblers 2, and a thing of flexforce where a lonely Punk had been hanging forever.

Sorry yours isn't doing too well, OP. My store in Michigan just got B9, Heritage w/posters pdqs, and E8 in the past week.
I can say though, the periods between series are really inconsistent. E7 and E8 were like a month apart, and E6 to E7 took several months and E5 to E6 took even longer.

Both of my local Walmart stores are still clogged with B7 Michelle and Yoshi.
