The whole thing is really odd. If it's really a Walmart exclusive as MDT said, then why is there no "Walmart Exclusive" sticker on it like they put on every single item in the store that's a Walmart exclusive.

These figures are not live event exclusives. They are Walmart exclusives that only ship to stores when WWE Live events are in town. Glad that was cleared up. I knew the shipping error reasoning didn't make any sense. I will say though, I found a whole peg of these at my local Walmart yesterday and there hasn't been a WWE show within 3 hours of me since last summer.

The carding on these looks better then the rest of the set. I saw 2 pegs full today as well. Even with Mattel's explanation i don't get it.

These figures are not live event exclusives. They are Walmart exclusives that only ship to stores when WWE Live events are in town. ... a botched attempt at humor or sarcasm perhaps? I can't really believe that the folks at Mattel purposely shipped that many Ortons when he's an admitted shelfwarmer.. nor can I believe that they have the ability to time distribution that perfect. C'mon now...

I actually hope that these sell well enough to continue. The packaging is cool enough that I want to see one done for CM Punk.
The main line ones seem to selling from what I've seen.

Yeah maybe it was sarcasm after reading it. I live in Mid, Ga and saw 2 full pegs of them yesterday. I know Raw was in Atl a couple of weeks back, and I they usually have other house shows in the area, but I still think they are meant to be Event exclusives.

When I saw complete pegs of these, I said to myself, "Great. Some jerk scalper actually bought up all of the T-shirt figures, then returned all of the Orton's because they knew they couldn't re-sell him." With all of the scalpers and (mostly) switchers here in California, that's what I actually thought. Sad, sad, sad.
...and now, back to the "they got shipped to Walmart by accident" / "they are live event exclusives that get shipped to Walmart when a WWE event is coming / came to town" debate.

I picked up 2 Ortons along with the WM Taker and another Macho Man.
