My local Walmart pulled all the Elite 39 figures off about two months.... then a few weeks later, brought them all back out on an end cap as if they were 'new' and hoping they would sell.
They are still sitting there, nobody wanting them, since December 2015.

Someone found HoF 4 at a Walmart.. It would be awesome if the HOF line were to become available at other retailers or perhaps a Walmart exclusive instead. Target has done a horrible job with the distribution of this line and don't deserve to have any more exclusives IMO. Perhaps TPTB at Mattel distribution have finally woken up and are moving it to another retailer?! I hope this actually happens as I don't see the HOF line surviving if it remains a Target exclusive. HOF 4 only came out recently when it was supposed to be released a year ago- at this rate it will probably be another year before we see HOF 5 released which sucks because I am chomping at the bit to get my hands on the Piper & Jake the Snake figures! Walmart has the WORST distribution in my area. They don't even keep a good stock of TNF elites. I have never seen the Paul Bearer series. They currently have no elites at all and haven't had new battlepacks since the Bushwhackers series. You want that new Macho? Good luck. They got like 2 cases in months ago. You want one of those exclusive 3-packs? They do, too, because they were never sent there. Target? I actually got HOF 4 quickly and they've had a steady supply for a month or two. In fact, the hardest set for me to get was HOF 3, but they still got them in a few times. Naw, screw Walmart. Target may be slow as hell, but Walmart is worse around here. You might get lucky on basics, but that's it. Really, the one who should be fixed is Toys R Us because they're a damn toy store. Yet the WWE section is small and keeps overordering the same sries so they just sit there. And now they overorder on their exclusives. Mine has tons of basic surfer Stings, tons of HHH/Steph and PTP battlepacks, and the rest is almost all Spotlights.

I went to my local Wal Mart last night an was shocked to see the old stock all gone, battle packs, elites, the works! And new figures, like Enzo and Cass, Kane with his mask in a box, and a new Rock. But the odd thing, they put Elite 18 Brodus and Elite 23 JBL on the shelf under the new ones. Possibly some of their oldest, and yet left behind? Why? So strange.

My local Walmart (between Cincinnati and Dayton, OH) had almost the entire WWE section cleared last night when I checked. Curious to see how this turns out.

That's what I figured, some dumba$$ returned them to the wrong store. However, its great to dream of this line actually moving to another retailer, especially for us international collectors who don't have any Targets. The person found at least 3 sting, 2 booker, 1 edge, and 1 Lawler though Interesting, Perhaps Target has given up their exclusive with this line or maybe Mattel coaxed them to give it up by giving then another exclusive (the NXT line that Bill mentioned at one of the toy fairs last year). If Target no longer has the exclusive for the HOF line then maybe just maybe HOF 5 might show up alot sooner then I currently think it will?!

I bet someone stacked it on the wrong pallet or something somewhere along the line. Seems to be the one time thing. If these started popping up at a bunch of Wally's, I would be more convinced. My guess is just human error.

My local walmart stores who did this send back of old figures ended up getting Elite 47.5 (Debut Goldust set) & BP 45 (The Revival set)
It's nice they're getting new stuff, but in my area they're already kinda warming. They've been up for a week or so and only Konnor, Victor and The Revival sold. There's like 5 Rocks, 3 Kane's and a bunch of Triple H/Road Dogg BP's

I went to my local Wal-Mart yesterday and even the cactus set which had been there was gone, which I don't see that whole set having sold. I'm anxious for the restock.

The Walmart in my town has 9 pegs for basics. ZERO on the shelf, the 2 tyler breeze's that have been there for a year have vanished suddenly.
3 pegs for regular elites. ZERO on the shelf.
We have a total of 5 elites, (typhoon, earthquake and Zayn) and 5 battle packs (new day, kane/taker and the vaudevillans.
There were 5 Mania HBK's there a few days ago that have suddenly vanished as well.
This store has gotten 3 cases of new product in the last 3 months and they were all gone in a week.

My Walmart surprisingly got in some non-exclusive elites with wave 49 and I was able to grab Beefcake but still no sign of any good new basic series yet. They sold through almost all their E48 and BP series with American Alpha and nWo and moved a lot of Mania elites with just a few HBK's left.

Good for Wallmart but what about Wal-Mart? FYI, you're also incorrect. It is no longer hyphenated.

My area sucks. They never stock anything
Walmart has like two figures from the TNF series and 3 figures from E48. Not including Jack.
Target is clogged with Jimmy Hart, The Wild Samoans, and Magnum TA.
TRU only stocks Network Spotlight and is warming hard with Ringmaster. Only two elites they have that aren't NS are Tugboat and Big E.
Meijer is the only saving grace in my area. They are stocked full to the brim with new elites. Just two weeks ago, they had a BOGO 50% off sale on WWE figures, which leads me to believe they're going to stock Elite 49 Soon.

Ive bought more figures from the Meijer in my town than I have from Walmart. They just got in e48 so I have hopes 49 hits soon there.
