Can someone please enlighten me, what exactly is this WWE Cube? Kmart Cube? Or whatever cube its called? ? The "Cube" is at Kmart. It is to advertise a promotion that starts on January 8, 2012 where if you spend $30 on WWE merchendise you get $10 back. The promotion is called "WWE Royal Riches". The items on the "Cube" are: WWE Elite 12 WWE Basic 13 WWE Flex Force "light up" WWE Flexforce Ring WWE Kids Size belts $10 back when you spend $30. Man, I had no idea of anything when I got my Steamboat there. None of the legends were on sale and I didn't know about the sale... I'll probably take advantage if I still can next week. How does the sale work?

I can officially lay the "1 Vickie per cube" rumor to rest; I actually unboxed the Royal Riches cube at my local Kmart MYSELF, and there wasn't a single Vickie to be found. I cut the straps off, cut the tape and slid the box-top off the pallet, so it was untouched.
Seems to me they must be randomly packed.

I gotta say, the way Mattel has handled the Vickie Guerrero figure is flat out unacceptable and insulting to their customers. No other way around it. Horrible business ethics.

The cubes are in the back. Just ask an employee to get the figure(s) you want from it. I did last night and they got me E12 Kane. If they give you any 5hit, just ask to speak with the manager. The manager let me go in the back and get it.

One of my Kmarts FINALLY had the cube, I saw it as I was walking to the toys and sprinted to it. It was completely untouched. I go through the figures and NO VICKIE. My legs almost gave out cause I'd been so excited. I've been checking 6 different k marts in my area since Dec 26. Each of the two cases in the cube had 4 R truths, 3 Reys, 2 Takers, 2 Morrisons, and one Jackson. then I went to a second and they had no cube at all. I guess I go out tomorrow and check the rest..

I gotta say, the way Mattel has handled the Vickie Guerrero figure is flat out unacceptable and insulting to their customers. No other way around it. Horrible business ethics. It's not an ethics issue. she is packed 1 in every other case. When the warehouse is filling the cubes they take the cases at random and put the figures on the shelf. It's not really that odd that many cubes aren't including her, as it just depends on which ones they pick up. They're not going to have a checklist of every figure and make sure it's done right. They just know what series need to be on it and pull those boxes. they have to get them done in a certain amount of time, so looking through the individual cases to make sure a short packed figure gets on every cube doesn't make sense. Besides, that's part of the idea of short packing things. I'm sure before all is said and done, the majority of people looking for that Vickie will find them in store, unless your area is bad at getting in shipments. But that's the stores' fault and not Mattel's

One of my Kmarts has yet to get the display(it's not in the back either) but they did get two cases of B13. Got there early this morning and they had 23 of them still on the shelf. Well F! I'm trying to give Mattel some of my money, but evidently they don't want it. Put Vickie on Shop.Mattel.

I think my KMart is filling shelf space with stuff off the cube. I found 7 b13 Reys, 1 Truth & 2 Zeke's last night, along with Elite 12 Orton, Gabriel & Del Rio and one sleeper Battle Pack I can't remember the figures (Cena & someone maybe?)

The exact same thing happened to me. I stopped in at my local K-Mart, found the cube. I didn't know it was put out early. I grabbed E12 Kane and Bryan and headed to the checkout. I knew I had more than 30 bucks' worth of merch so I was good. I ask the cashier and she didn't know anything about it. She told me that if there was a coupon, it would print with the receipt. No coupon printed and she asked customer service. They had a manager go back to the toy section to check for the display I was talking about, and they couldn't find it which was weird because it was in plain sight. I asked if going back there and taking a picture would help but they said they had someone back there. I went back there anyway and there was no one in the toy section whatsoever. Snapped a couple pictures, went back, waited a few minutes more (by this point 15-20 minutes, a whole lot of fuss for a 10 dollar coupon) and they eventually just gave me a 10 dollar gift card. I was happy but you have to wonder if they ever pay attention to the release dates posted, or do they just not care? This isn't the first time I've heard of this.

Huh, I knew they were to be held back for the new year, but not the 8th. No wonder the employees had no clue what the $10 was about. They gave me a $10 gift card. It was better than the future coupon.

Not all K-marts will be getting the cubes in. Only approx. 700 of 1299 stores will have them.

All of the K-Marts (3 stores) in my area that didn't have the "cube" a couple of days ago, stocked 2 cases of Basic 13.
6 cases later, I found 2 Vickie Guerrerro's. You heard that right, 2 Vickie's in 6 cases. These were all fresh, untouched cases.
