I'll be satisfied if I see one Seth Rollins TNF but no complaints on anything else

I'd take that, it's better than 4 Zombies and a bunch of empty pegs lol. I can't find Elizabeth anywhere.

Walmart Manager here.
Nothing to worry about. Resets are scheduled for the middle of January and the figures are showing deleted because the skus are changing (possibly because of the packaging change). The shelves have been light, at least in the Central NJ area, because there has been a shortage of figures in our distribution center. This is usually a manufacturer's supply issue, as Walmart would prefer not to have empty shelves.
Did anyone here really think Walmart would stop carrying WWE?

This is usually a manufacturer's supply issue Yeah, this is what the other employees have been telling us as well. The question (for Mattel) was why? Other Mattel products were coming in all of the time during December, just not WWE.
Walmart would prefer not to have empty shelves I'm sure they wouldn't, it was too bad really.
Walmart Manager here Thank you very much for the update.

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’m in Florida right now for the holidays visiting from the UK, and I’m only interested in Retros so I’ve been going round the Walmarts in the area ideally hoping to find Owens, Reigns and Lesnar but not seen any sign of any series 1 guys at all. The Supercentre near the Sawgrass outlet had all of the second series when I visited before Xmas; the Lauderdale Lakes one had no Retros at all and basically nothing of anything else WWE-related in stock, and today the South University Drive store had three Retro Austins and a few of the regular lines, but mostly all three stores were dominated by empty pegs.
There are a few more around us (Supercentres and regulars - I’m guessing the Neighbour ones don’t stock toys?) that I’ll try to visit in the vain hope of finding what I’m looking for before heading home on Wednesday night, but seems my quest will end in failure

Although I don’t expect Walmart to quit selling WWE figs, but I might be done buying there outside of exclusives. It’s been a waste of time, gas, and money to go there the last 6 months for me. It’s the only place to get Retro (Until now when the series has been sold elsewhere) and TNF. Barely found Retro 2 and never seen TNF3 at any Walmart I go to (there are like 5 closeby) in the area. I’m already to the point of getting main line Elites online, or occasionally TRU. Tired of places keeping their lines stocked and basically keeping regular Elite pegs empty. It’s happening constantly and it’s just a waste going from store to store to find nothing or the same stuff there for months.

I hope the resets mean my store will finally get new stuff in and I will be able to find it.

It probably will lead to E53 never showing up at most Wal Mart’s They’ll reset with E54 or E55.
53 will end up being at Big Lots, Ross and the other discount stores (like 40,41, etc last year) or they’ll sell them to Wal Mart late in ‘18 or ‘19 like they did this Thanksgiving lol
Speaking of discount stores getting Wal Mart products, I expect to see the rings w/ Goldberg start flowing in. To my knowledge Wal Mart nor Target ever got them in. There’s bound to be a huge overstock of those things

I'd love to get a modern Goldberg (and some of those accessories) without having to pay a premium.

All my Walmart’s are barren and have either scattered Zombiefigures and battle packs or Lanas.
