My brother saw E14 for the first time at WallyWorld yesterday morning seemingly freshly put out on the pegs, but there were no Flashbacks in sight. Just wondering, are Walmarts getting cases of E14 without Big Bossman & King Bookah? If so, son of a...

OMG what if Walmart gets no Nashes? But seriously, did Walmart request no FBs or does Mattel have no faith in them selling well at Walmart.

i think mattel is holding on to the good figs and sending the peg warmers to walmart This would make sense actually. My Walmart got E12 long after my Target and Kmart did and eventually sold out of the dreaded E12 Ortons, where my Target, and Kmart still have quite a few. Lets face it if there is a pegwarmer it will most likely sell at Walmart because Walmart is still the least expensive out of all the stores. They maybe cheaper by a few cents but cheaper none-the-less and in my area where all these stores are within a minute of each other customers will go the extra 1/4 mile to save a few cents. Sucks for the Flashbacks though.

I've been noticing the same thing in my local Targets. I've seen everyone from Series 14 EXCEPT for the two Flashbacks. Are they shipping cases without them?

I bought a case of legends 3 a while back for 36.50 that had 2 rocks, 2 bulldogs, perfect and duggan in it. Its not uncommon for this to happen in mattel cases, I have seen the rock/cena case of figures with no bellas or bryan/cara in it, and mattel probably isnt sold on the flashbacks yet because shango and edge didnt exactly fly off shelves, at least not in my area, and can be found on sites for around 20 bucks, elite retail price. Mattel is probably also staggering the sets as well, with 2nd shipments coming with boss mans and bookers in them.

I was wondering about this also. I have seen E14 several times at a couple different Walmarts and have still yet to see Booker or Bossman at any of them. I really don't understand why they would do this.

I picked up my booker t at target a couple weeks ago. So hopefully all the targets are getting them. But ur right about wwalmart, ive seen edge, but no booker or bossman.

So far from all the elite 15 reports of finding them at Meier here in the mid west, no one has seen Yokozuna, but all the rest have been found. Looks like they might start doing this with the first shipments of every set. I hope not though.

Ohhhhh myyyyyyy. Only Mattel. And we thought Jakks didn't use logic.
Elite 16 Kevin Nash and Diesel figures are going to sell for more on the black market than African conflict diamonds.

Could just be they were the only two figures taken/purchased as everyone else has already been released.

My local Walmart did not get E13 until a month ago. They had the Flashback Edge in the case.
I found E14 on the display wrap seen in most Toys R Us stores now. I was able to get Booker and Boss Man.
I wonder why they change the cases?
