Stores ordering too much and thus having old stuff in back that has to be sold before they order new stuff.

Probably warehouses clearing out left over merch.

Seeing the same in my area Toys R Us is the only store getting in New stuff everywhere else is stuck on Elite 33 34 and 36.Gamestop has 40s Wal Greens has 40 and Meijer has 40 Cenas. I'm glad I picked up Sami at Wal Greens only place I've seen him since then. Only saw basic 58 once and have seen 59s a few times. Saw 60 once but of course everyone is there besides Renee and Kalisto even though I just want Renee. Just ordered a Lita today because I'm tired of trying to hunt one down.

They're probably just clearing out their warehouse. Those older figures were probably just siting in cases in the back and they ordered them when they first came out, but they ordered too much.

Why are your pictures taken with a vintage 1950's camera?

Been running into b41 appearances at different Walmarts myself last week. Its certainly put a huge wrench in my hopes of finding Rene and Kalisto from b60. Another Walmart about twenty minutes from me put out 5(!) cases of E35 tuesday...........I'm guessing i can skip that location until around mid October now.

What? Really? I just found them on a random shelf in the WWE section but they were there. I don't know how much they costed because they wouldn't let me buy them.

My local tru has the same thing going on, except with no new elites besides the exclusives lol. They appear to have gotten in cases of older mixed basics somewhere around b39-b43....ex. They have both santino and b43 rvd out new.
My WalMart has an endcap of rings, dm takers, and at least two new cases of bo2014 out. Only elites are wm taker and Brock.
I have yet to really see any chase figs since they started in b56, anything past e39, b58-60....my areas dried up BAD

We're entering that period that happens every year, between April and September, where you can't find anything good on pegs, and what you do find is old stuff that was sitting in the warehouse/storeroom,sometimes for years.

Welp, this I don't think technically qualifies (for all you sticklers over semantics out there) . . . However, this past Friday, I for one was excited to find the following dusty item (no, not Rhodes unfortunately). I dusted 'er off before taking the snapshots in my vehicular automobile aka "The R4V-ENous One" (2004 Black Rav4; I'm also a die-hard B4LT1M0RE RAVEN$ fanatic so yea). So anyways, 'twas clearly placed randomly upon a Wal*Mart shelf by employees, not on the pegs mind you, after being presumably found, if not obviously so, either in the backroom buried or perhaps elsewhere amid the store's floor space. I've only been collecting since January of 2015, despite the rapidly growing collection of 468 figures total, tallied, tabulated, calculated, abundant amount o' assortment in a sixteen-month span/time frame. Thus, I've never even had this style of package before now, let alone a figure o' this fella (Sheamus pun unintended). I must say, it goes nicely next to my Mexico flag colors Alberto Del Rio, as well as Elite 32 Sin Cara & WM31 BP "Mexico" Rey Mysterio, not to mention my "new" old TRU Best of PPV red trunks Alberto Del Rio Big Lots pickup today, including goofy-faced scan. Hence, I now have two figures from that type of packaging style. It's from the same series w/Kofi, Mark Henry & Sheamus, all of whom are also available. Personally, I wanted the goofy scan look, since I foolishly, albeit accidentally, threw out the BP 31 silver version of ADR that came w/trash can accessory & yellow Sin Cara. Additionally, I previously only owned 2 ADR figures, the awesome elite JR BAF one & the aforementioned Basic series 40/Global Superstars figure, a set currently re-appearing for about at least an approximate third circulation in my area (first cycle, Xmas/New Years holidays at a local Wal*Mart, and now again at TWO nearby Targets). Anywho, since the proof is in the pictures (pudding), below is the Basic 34 series Ricardo Rodriguez referenced above. In other words, the reason for this entire post in the first place:

Surely it's not a case of distribution, it's the stores ordering. Mattel can't distribute without orders Stores don't order from Mattel. Wholesale toy distributors are a middle man.
www.abgee.co.uk/ and Chester toys are 2 of our big ones.

With a bricks and mortar store I could order direct from Mattel, I checked a year or so ago when I was thinking of starting an online business in toys. They will not consider dealing with anyone without a physical store
