Why because you can't accept the fact that warrior really doesn't sell that well.. And that maybe he had been scheduled for autograph signings before he passed or cases wouldn't have been flooded to so many kmarts across the country.. I'm not the only person who has mentioned it. zzzzzz Delusion.

Look around the forums. It's not just my Kmart. I dozed off for a moment I'd only just recovered from the keyboard indentations in my forehead after slipping into a coma last night. You can't flog a dead horse. We are 8 retail Warrior figures in now, plus 1 running change and one in new packaging. I'm sure they don't sell though....

And every one of them rotted on shelves until they were clearenced out only to eventually become expensive on eBay.

This figure is badass. I'm pretty sure if I had the money available to me to spend on it I would be all over these rare Warrior figures.
I don't get the arguing going on as to whether Warrior sells or not. What is really going to be accomplished by debating whether a figure warms? And just because the stores in your general area have a bunch on the shelf doesn't necessarily mean that's the case for all of them. Take DM Hogan for example, I've heard of stores where the figure is not moving at all anymore whereas the Wal-Mart closest to my house we got about 14 or so in and they were off the shelf within about 2-3 weeks which is a pretty solid turnaround for a $30 figure in my eyes. Personally, the only Warrior figure that I've witnessed a high volume of was when I was in Arizona in March and saw a whole bunch of the Battle Pack series that included that Cena/Warrior.

And every one of them rotted on shelves until they were clearenced out only to eventually become expensive on eBay. Yup....yup.....you're Kmart is the demographic for the world. What's the address and phone number please? I must phone them to keep track on what's hot and what's not. You make 50,000 of something. 47000 fly off the shelves glovally. The last 3000 are slow to shift. You make 20,000 of something, and 18000 sell quickly. The last 2000 are slow to shift. You make 10,000 of something. and 8600 sell in days. The last 1400 are slow to shift. Toy A, has over twice the amount left on the shelf as toy C. Which one is the biggest shelf warmer and problem for Mattel?

I'm a huge Warrior fan. I've mentioned that he's my favorite character to customize, with 118 Jakks, 47 Mattel, 1 Hasbro of him, made by me to date. I've spent probably between $1600 and $2000 on base figures alone, I own his exclusives, all of his Jakks and Mattel releases, have made probably between $13,000 and $17,000 on Warrior customs alone. Why do people have to constantly justify what they spend their money on? If people want to spend $1500 on one figure, ok? What about the people who regularly post their pickups and have well over hundreds of dollars for retail figures on a regular basis? Why are we discussing Mattel's distribution of Warriors? Some Mattys clog shelves for a few months. With the exception of Brodus, sheamus, Punk, many Mattys have warmed, only to appreciate in value (Finlay, Koslov, all of E1, even DM Macho sat for a while). Why not just move along and not worry about other peoples' spending practices.

So the thread with pictures someone posted maybe a week ago with something like sixty of the same warrior were on an endcap didn't happen.. Not to mention the several people who chimed in that there stores had several of that figure also.

Why not just move along and not worry about other peoples' spending practices. I think their is a tinge of jealousy Axe. For the most part 90% of people really appreciate a good collection and congratulate people for it, and praise them etc. I love seeing huge collections, that are on a par with mine or better. Because unfortunately, I don't have the right space to display mine as they have. But someone buys something expensive, and the odd idiot wants to nitpick. And on that note, please reply to my PM buddy!!

I think you need to take a deep breath here bud. Some people do find incredible value in Warrior figures and some like you obviously don't. But there is no reason to put this much stock into bashing someone for showing interest in a rare figure.

I just think Mattel should take a break on something that isn't moving and give us something new in its place. Maybe Sting for example.

So the thread with pictures someone posted maybe a week ago with something like sixty of the same warrior were on an endcap didn't happen.. Not to mention the several people who chimed in that there stores had several of that figure also. I got the answer I'm looking for. You're incapable of comprehending the question above, or what we have been saying. That's fine. Please don't ever discuss anything with me that's beyond your means again. In layman terms for you, Stores selling 94% or 47000, with remainder to discount = win. Mattel sell all theres on mass, so they win by selling more of the same thing, with the same parts. Stores selling Answer A, with was only 86% sold of a smaller amount. Not as good. But looks better on the shelves to the less educated, as less units unsold. Don't know what Mattels margin of error is, or Kmarts, but you get the picture, or don't..........

That was in november. Sure. The first wave of e26 likely sold very well. At 8 warriors a case with the original two/one per case warrior moved well yes, and now people reporting their stores have double or triple the original 8 it doesn't look to be moving.

Ultimate Warrior was a documented piece of sh*t human being.
I just don't see anything positive about dropping thousands on single Warrior figures.
Twenty bucks for a regular Warrior elite? That's fine. Thousands? GTFO
I'd say I'm sorry, but I'd be lying.
My opinion on this is that it is sheer stupidity. Just my two cents.

He cared deeply about his fans and held true to his set of beliefs. More human beings could learn a thing or two about how to be useful human beings from the way Warrior lived his life. Clearly this thing isn't marketed towards you though and you can't buy anything with 2 cents so you can keep it

That's fine. Thousands? GTFO I'd say I'm sorry, but I'd be lying. My opinion on this is that it is sheer stupidity. Just my two cents. Who was it documented by? People that worked for twice as long and made ten time less? check People that are washed up losers? Check People that never met him, but had heard the above say so (like yourself) check There are two sides to every story. And for years, you only heard one. Here is what I make of it, because I work with some of the smartest people in the world, rocket scientists and enginners who came into banking, and I realise that they are not all liked, because they are millionaires and focused people. He came in with no knowledge. Went far beyond the rest of them, with less wrestling talent (only 30% of the total ingredients needed in my opinon) Streaked beyond them in stardom, and money. Didn't wanna do the boozing and snorting gear every night like most of the others. Knuckled down, worked non stop on his total package, invested his time and money, and went to the stars in 4 shorts years. People would be jealous and bitter about that in any industry, not just wrestling. But that's what takes success. If you have to piss a few losers off on the way.....so be it.
