Weird Restock At My Local Walmart

This is all supposed to be on a display, but most Walmart’s don’t use them and just take the shipper, toss it, and fill the pegs with the stock. Sucks as I’ve pretty much given up on regular elites at retail. Strictly going hunting for exclusives now unless they’re having big clearance sales.

It hasn't hit out here in CO yet - but in all fairness - those elites are in all my walgreens, and have been for months

The upside of all this is I can now go buy all the things I never saw in the first place. The fact that no one ever had elites around here was what almost killed my interest off completely in the line. Not gonna buy figures online and pay shipping just so they can come to me with no eyebrows and sloth eyes and two left thighs and all the myriad other things I see on Mattel figures.

Didn't ringside also restock these? I wonder what happen

Just an educated guess, but I think either Mattel or a secondary buyer just unloaded a ton of these series at heavily discounted case prices.  I don't think they ever hit retail in most of the country.  Target was backed up on E36 and WalMart on E39 in most of the country. E40-44 never made it to most of the major retail stores.  There are probably thousands of cases that never got ordered/shipped, and they must have been recently been dumped on the discount market.  Same place Ross, BigLots, etc get their product.  I'm thinking a buyer for WalMart saw a product that they easily sell at retail available at a pretty significant discount and placed a large order.

Upside is that I'm was able to buy an extra Xavier, Neville, and Kalisto without paying scalper prices on Ebay. Though I'm pissed I paid 35 bucks on Amazon for a Xavier in a dented, ruined box this previous spring.

Well here in cranberry pa wallyworld they did the same with the end cap , this is really cool for those who did not see these first time around!!!! But for those of us waiting for series 42 and on to hit will be waiting for ever now cause these crapty things are gonna sit-sit-sit and sit for ever they better drop them down to like 8.00$$ or buy one for 5$$ get one free before they go this is really disappointing , I’m gonna start just getting from Ringsidecollectibles just like I have in the past, but if they change these stem swivels up to the elites I guess I’m done because I’m ok with the new elbow but I still want the bicep swivel... so if that goes I go, so be on the look out for a huge lot to sell lol

These were stocked at my area TRU’s,Targets, WalMarts and Walgreens way back when...so it’s odd to see them at my WalMarts again so many months later. I didn’t look to closely at the displays, but I wonder which Triple H they are getting? The original large pads or the running change short pads?

I got the Nasty Boys at one of my local Target last year. I just looked at my old thread and it was late May-early June of last year that I found them.
