This is my local Toys R' Us (Wilkes Barre) as of 7pm Friday 12/15/17 I picked up an Elite Heath Slater. It's good to see Elite 53 being more consistently now. I know TRU has had them for nearly 2 months now. That makes me hopeful that 54 will be coming soon.I Iwonder when Elite 54 will start coming to TRU? I can't wait to start seeing the new packaging!

Important info and consideration from rybuck from this thread. I used to manage toys and entertainment for walmart. the problem i see walking through any wal mart toy aisle right now is the then, now, forever line. The packaging is far too similar to the regular line. Products assortments get mixed up, placed on the wrong tag, and with the same price to boot, they get their inventory messed up when they scan their outs. Say they have (as is the case with my old store) 3 TNF Breezes. 16 regular elite line from various waves their system said they had 20 regular elites, zero TNF. Which means when the elites sell down there wont be a restock, and they're going to get more TNF than they can hold and that will create a backstock issue. I had it fixed because im not trying to deal with inventory screw ups on my supply line but i see it in EVERY store i go into. Similar sitations with the basics. Between the regular line, summerslam, and TNF they have NO IDEA what they are doing. It would be easier to ask workers to pay attention but lets be honest. If they dont care about the product its not gonna happen. Best thing that could happen is a packaging change for either the regular line or the TNF line, as long as they are different. edit : another issue is price changes. I see regular line tags placed over the top of or even sometimes in place of the TNF line's tags. Which also creates inventory issues when the price change itself is done. and if the upc office (which from my understanding no longer exists) doesnt catch it - instant peg clogging.

I dont want it to sound like im dissing wal mart. Im not at all. But the sheer amount of things that have to get done in an 8 hour period can be absolutely ridiculous, and asking someone who's only familiarity with a toy is that it's a wrestler and its in the more expensive box to know that there are actually two separate but nearly identical lines from the same property at the same price point sometimes actually is too much to ask. Between payroll for toys being cut right about now, and no one to straighten things up and make sure stuff is in the right spot, or almost worse - having someone who knows literally nothing about it trying their best to help out things can get a little screwy. My best advice would be to ask the department manager (typically day shift) to check and see what their hand scanner says about the inventory levels of the separate assortments and point out the discrepancy if one exists then explain the difference. Contrary to popular belief they actually do want things to be right and be successful for their store and their own performance, but it's not like wal-mart sends down product information to review. But don't be a jerk. No one deserves that.

But don't be a jerk. No one deserves that. My problem with walmart (and target and even tru to some extent) is they claim to be in business yet they have empty shelves all the time. You cant sell what you dont stock. And you cant make money off of what you dont sell. Boys toy sections are just a joke as far as keeping them stocked. I can see a whole aisle of star wars stuff that isnt moving and empty wwe and power rangers sections. For 6 months straight. Its pathetic. They need new leadership, at least at store levels if not even higher. Ive to this day never found tnf rollins. Seen tnf AA once. And liz twice. Seen hof 3 1 time. Seen hof 5 piper 1 time, the rest none. Literally just found walmarts black panther exclusive that came out a year ago. Havent seen any metallic legacy power rangers. You have to have the product. And if it sells out fast, you get more. Its common sense.

7 Asuka’s and 6 HOF Pipers have been at my Target since before Christmas. I can see Asuka warming hard, but didn’t think Piper would
They did finally get in Retro Series 3. $12.99 at Target too. Don’t see them selling very good for that price TBH

Asukas are hanging around here but Piper goes pretty quick. Oddly, Jake goes faster despite the body botch

I'm really surprised Asuka is warming. It's a pretty good fig in my opinion. It is a great figure, but some of the Target stores that I have been to seem to have too many of them. In my area, it appears that the women figures aren't moving as fast. One of my local Toys R Us stores had a gazillion basic Lanas, but no one else the week before Christmas. I noticed the women's end caps were pretty full all of the time during the Christmas shopping season.

My local Target (or the most local target) got 6 Asuka and nothing else. Still on wave 1 basics because they never put them out to begin with.

Walmart had one basic ring and empty pegs this morning. And here was the Nanuet NY TRU Basics were plenty of Ambrose from the wave with Graves. And about 2 pegs each of Network Spotlight elites of Vince and Ambrose.
