Nice figure but did it really warrant an entire case? or being an "exclusive"? no

Sure it did. The WWE wanted an exclusive for their live events. So of course he'll get full cases as the exclusive. It just looks like Mattel screwed up shipping and sent some to WalMart instead of the WWE. Just like they did with Matty Rockers to shop Mattel. Of course this means there will be alot less of the live event exclusive at live events.

I'm not sure that's what happened. Another guy just posted that his WM has them too Of course they will..it'll probably be located all over now. That shipment would have been split up across the country as soon as it hit WalMart's main hub. It was probably a bunch of pallets. Mattel ship huge shipments to each retailer. Then the retailers split it up and ship it to their stores. They probably shipped a part of (if not all )of a wwe shipment to WalMart by mistake. Now I just hope WalMart ships cases to my area WalMarts as the closet one reported is way down in south NJ (down close to Phily) which is a few hours drive from Rockland NY. And as much as I like Randy I'm not planning on making a 4 hour round trip to pick up a couple. lol

Mattel still showing that they have no idea how to paint facial hair with the rainbow shaped mustache on Orton. lol
I mean, you can see on the figure where the facial hair is textured and where it's supposed to be but where NO PAINT is.

So is the general consensus that this was a shipping error, or should I start looking for these to pop up at my local store sometime soon? I wanted to complete the Superstar Entrance set MOC, but thus far I haven't found any trace of Mix or Truth, and now there's this mystery Orton?!
Either I'm gonna pick him up locally (if there's a chance) or I'm gonna have to ask the op to grab me one.

I like the way mattel included the back view of the figure to give us a brief look of it

Just as Jakks faltered in regards to part choices, Mattel falters in regards to case packing. Orton struggles to sell no matter what series he is in - an entire case of him, if that is the...well, case, is baffling to me.

Is this part of the same series as Trips/Cena/Punk/Ziggler/Miz/Truth?
I think it might be different from the black packaging instead of the red...

Again according to what Mattel said at the comic con Orton isn't supposed to be at retail he was supposed to go to the WWE for their live events. So this was a shipping mixup. And seeing the wwe has how many live shows a week? It makes sense that they should have full cases of Orton to cover the years live events.
