For those of you seeing E39, are you seeing Ziggler as part of that or just Sandow and Sid?

By me, all of the Walmart's are fully stocked (not gloating), but they all have different things. About a month ago, one of the Walmart's even re-stocked elite series 40 - and not just a few, they had a full set in a mid-aisle display case, I couldn't believe it. Another one has plenty of series 39 Sid's and series 1 retro figures. Some only have TNF elites, and only one has had the Retro series 2 figures. It's odd how they stock. Though, if your a mint on card collector, Walmart has always been the worst store to purchase from - the boxes for the figures always seem to be in the worst conditions, TRUs and Target are better. I wonder if your Walmart's over purchased some stocks and they didn't sell well and maybe they are reluctant to purchase more. Plus, I never ask employees about stock information that hasn't hit the stores yet, they only seem to know about stock that is at the store already - and that only seems to be limited to what is on the pegs not what is in the back.
For 2sweet, sorry, no Ziggler's just Sid's. I do remember seeing a Mizdow and Sting a while back but now just Sid.

Is Walmart just giving up on WWE? I think internet buying is killing the WWE section of stores. However, it’s justifiable. Toys R Us and Walmart should always be 100% up to date in their WWE stock. However they slack and they are way behind if and when they stock. They either need to step up their game or get out of it all together. They just don't get the figures enough. They skip sets, they never restock except once or twice every 2 to 3 months. I quit busing elites because of it pretty much. Order Retros from ringside because they are 1st to get and fastest shipping. Don't have to waste gas. I agree. It’s a big waste of gas, time and money to go figure hunting anymore. It’s not even fun anymore to be honest. It used to be easy in the wallet to buy in stores. The wait time wasn’t as long as it is now. It evens out nowadays to pay shipping and extra. Unless stores start stepping up their game, then maybe they should consider just taking the WWE section out of Walmart. |

I’m still trying to find tnf3 Elizabeth. There were a fair few natural disasters around my area for a while but not clogging too terribly. I haven’t really checked around lately to know if they are still sitting. Liz is the shelf warmer in my neck of the woods. In fact, 6 TNF Liz figures are the only Elites at my closest Walmart. You need one just let me know. |

I feel good about the Walmarts near me after reading all the nightmares other people are having. Ive only seen TNF3 once but its piles of elites from 49,51 and 52 at most the Walmarts then 2 of the stores have the SS shipment its probably 150 figs at each location and 4 of them had the retro wave 2. I'm not gonna complain again.

The remains of Elite 39 are still in our stores in Canada though. Too many Sid and Mizdow figures. Bulldog and Sting in a lesser extent. But I haven't seen a Godfather or Ziggler figure in well over a year. |

I think Walmart is the only place ive seen them at maybe once at TRU but I haven't paid close attention Rollins was the only one I wanted and I picked him up already. |

Oddly enough, I just bought The Natural Disasters on eBay, because my local Walmart only had Typhoon and I can't buy just one.

I've bought 90% of the figures I have this year online either from eBay, Amazon, or Ringside. I got a couple from Walmart sure (TNF Macho and Zayn, E51 Hall and Berzerker) but mine still has two Typhoons and an E36 Bo Dallas as the only Elites in the store, yet we have Basic 77

Those were some dope figures. I was too young when they were around, but those were some dope ass figures and I enjoyed having them beat up Hogan and Macho.

In the ten Walmarts I visit, only one has an up to date WWE figure set.
One other one has a lot of the IRS wave and the Nasty Boys wave.
I wouldn't worry too much though, the upcoming flashbacks mean that there IS a strategy for Walmart going forward with WWE figures.
