Basic 15 feature @ WMart and 62 Cena's

I went to 4 different Walmarts today and none of them had an end cap for WWE. Doesn't really surprise me though, as the Walmarts around here always seem to be behind.

Apparently, what gets stocked in the end cap is pretty random. The OP said his store got B15. There are people in this thread who have found B13. I talked to a friend of mine in South Carolina and he said his closest Walmart had an end cap of Wrestlemania Heritage.

Here are the pics from my walmart:




And i thought they overproduced mickie....

I never said she WAS, it just reminds me when i saw 10 mickies on a shelf. And they got more than that, cause i bought 2 laylas a day before.

I'm in Tennesse.

I was actually hoping some of these would have been WrestleMania Heritage cause I would love to get one of the Warriors and maybe an Eddie. But I checked every case we got in and they were all Basic 15. I doubt we'll sell through these anytime soon.

My Wal-Mart put out a few cases of basic 15 last week and yesterday put up a huge endcap full of Basic 15. So much for hunting for Clay or Layla as there were a few of each and a sea of Cena figures. With my TRU stocking Basic 17 and Wal-Mart flooded with 15 I doubt seeing 16 or 18 anywhere now. If it happens it will be the first time a series of Mattel WWE gets skipped here.

DAMN IT..

I was LUCKY enough to order Brodus Clay off of Mattelshop.com

but my Layla order was cancelled.


Damn it, I need to find s15 at retail...

The Wal-Mart down the street opened several cases of B13. Didn't see any Vickie, although there is a good chance that she had already been snagged. It's the University Wal-Mart in Winston, I think there is a scalper who hits there, because I live 5 minutes away and check almost every day, and when they get DC Universe, Marvel Legends, Marvel Universe, and GI Joe that stuff gets cleared out down to the shelf clingers (for instance they have 2-3 Drax figures from Marvel Legends and nothing else).

Anyway, back on point. This reminds me of this past Christmas when all the Wal-Marts were stocked to the max with old waves. The one where I live had enough E11 that every kid in Forsyth county could have had a CM Punk. Why order a million of one thing? Wouldn't it make sense to make modest orders more often, then mass orders that can't possibly sell? This store that I've been talking about had massive quantities of B11 before that and Signature series, and it had taken from November until this first week of May to clean out and get new stock. And what do you know, it's old stock.

I could be wrong. I don't study market trends and sales figures, but the logic I operate behind is that if you have stock that refreshes more often, you generate more foot traffic. If somebody is looking for the newest basic sets and they continually walk into a store and only find B13 shelfwarmers like Rey Mysterio and John Morrison, they probably either already have them because they are old, or they never wanted them. In a day and age when people have to be conscientious about how they spend their money, this mentality of "they'll just buy what we have, clearly they have money to burn and it's burning a hole in their pocket" doesn't float.

Only the little kids are going to go for the Cenas and the Reys that always pegwarm, and by the point in time that those have sold there will be another 5 basic sets that came out with those same characters, making having those older versions around pointless. Point being here, THERE IS NO REASON TO HAVE SO MANY OF ONE F****ING THING!

This has been an awesome year for figures, but the most frustrating at retail. I'm almost caught up with all the old assortments thanks to ebay and am ready to splurge with the extra cash and just go online. I'm a guy who loves to hunt, but there is nothing to hunt anymore.

I just found the set at several targets over the weekend and Basic 17 at Walmart

would of liked to have found a brodus at a walmart instead of a target had to pay 13.49 before tax which ended up to 14.67 nearly 15 dollars for a basic.
is brodus 1 per case? that means 14 brodus or was it 0.5?
