I wish I had a TRU close by. I have to drive 3 hours to find one and most of the time it looks like that.

My local TRU looks like that. The one a little bit far away has remnants of Basic 12 and had the Tag 2-packs Series 10 the other day, so it's a step up.
My hopes of walking in and finding Elite 10, DM 5, WM 27 figs, etc, however, were dashed.
Pegs for Elite figures with no figs or 1 or 2 Undertakers are weak.

So the hundred thousand dollar question is, who is to blame for this? Mattel no longer wishes to discuss it, but has blamed it on retailers and the way they handle their inventory. I never remember seeing this problem with Jakks however.
With Jakks, you might have to wait a while, but eventually you'd be able to find anything you wanted at retail. New sets might have sold quick when the first shipment would come in, but most stores would usually get a second or third shipment within another week or two, and then you'd have no trouble finding anything. With Mattel, it seems like certain sets are one and done. The store get one shipment of it, and once it's gone it doesn't ever come back. The only items that linger are the unpopular ones like the Signature Series, the Heritage Series, and the Legends. On occasion you may see certain individual figures pile up a bit if they are poor designs (Elite 8 Undertaker) or unpopular characters (Ted Dibiase comes to mind), but even they eventually sell, and as a result you end up with shelves that look like this 9 times out of 10.

I notice that those Basic rings just sit there and collect dust at my TRU. Looks the same way at yours.

My store is pretty good they get new stuff almost every week. We had Elite 10 and Nexus 2 packs last week. Still waiting for Wrestlemania XXVII though. The lady who stocks my store even tells me when the next truck arrives.Only problem when you see something dont wait its gone by end of the day oh yeah and those damn Legends 2 packs must grow on trees.Every time we get low they reappear like magic.

I know my closest TRU still has a few Jakks two packs, as well as that same Lashley figure. Is that shelton benjamin an 1 of 1000 exclusive?? I believe that's the Toys R Us WrestleMania Shelton. Every figure in that series came with I believe a Mania chair.

Mine looks like the last pic, but replace Dynamite Kid with LJN Matt Hardy.
Also, the Vince pdq has absorbed some of the L2/L3/L2-packs, but that still isn't enough to stop the suck in the wwe "home" space.

My TRU has been slowly reducing the WWE section for months. We never even got the Vince promotion shipper!

I won't be getting any of the new ones from there... They did have the Wresltmania Elites only, but I didn't want to get just Kofi so I just left it. Wanted 2 pack 10.

My TRU has been slowly reducing the WWE section for months. We never even got the Vince promotion shipper! My local store got the display, but the WWE section gets smaller and smaller. It's depressing to go to another store and see it with twice as much space for wrestling figures. But even with the tiny space, they still have empty pegs. Something is wrong and has always been wrong with Mattel.

My TRU recently got rid of all the UFC and TNA pegs and took away half of the WWE section and replaced it with Light Strike laser gun toys that they advertise on RAW.
