OH GOD HELP US 😂 But literally! Before anyone bashes me! Think about this.. Yes these stores have to order these products. I know that. However, isn’t anyone concerned as to why they aren’t? I know the WWE division of Mattel has to be concerned as to why stores aren’t ordering properly. Maybe there is some reason why. My Walmart’s haven’t restocked since before Black Friday. And even then, they had gotten boxes of old junk! That would upset me as a store, send me new stuff! Not displays full of year old Elites and Battle Packs. Obviously there is some discord between Mattel and Walmart. Every store in my area is down to NXT ring, Smackdown ring, Raw ring and a zombie Sasha. No lie. The section looks poor and unkept. But who’s fault is it? When it boils down to it, why is this happening? If this trend continues then WWE figures may as well be an internet product only! It’s not fair to kids and it’s not fair to loyal collectors. But yet when i suggest mattel should go the vendor route and stock the product themselves people sent all kinds of negative comments my way. Ok then, enjoy those empty shelves... They should do this 100% Would create better availability and they can have a better visual of what sells and what doesn’t.

AND JUST BECAME BEST FRIENDS!? YEP! Wal-Mart already has two exclusive lines with all the Then, Now, Forever versions and the Retros. They certainly don't need more. These stores need to stop focusing on exclusive figures because it eventually backs things up and prevents stock of the regular line from appearing regularly. Mattel should hire someone like how Pepsi and Frito Lay do and they stock their own product on the shelves. They make sure the shelves are full, take back damaged and out of date products....in a perfect world....

One of the main reasons they don’t order (or in most cases get their orders filled from their warehouse/distribution centers ) is because people like hide items and come back for it weeks later when they have the cash...Well, here’s a news flash those hidden figures are still in the stores inventory so the Distribution Centers won’t ship more product until the stores inventory hits the minimum piece count to receive more.
And Hasbro does that. They hire vendors to stock the shelves, but the problem there (at least in Hasbros case) is the stores still have to have the product in the back room and they go in the back to pull the product.
Neca has a van full of product and stocks the shelves at our area TRU’s themselves. Not sure if they do that in other areas also.

One of my local WalMarts someone hid almost a full case of ML for months. I saw the guy walk into the back corner by Fabrics and Home Improvments of the store with 6 Marvel Legends figures and emerged by automotive without any of them. Unless it is during the holiday season WalMart’s distribution centers won’t refill an order if the stores inventory shows more than five pieces. And Target’s won’t send their stores more product if the store’s inventory shows more than three pieces.

You don't love Firebreaker Chip with profound love?

Whoever may be in charge of the department. If a section sits empty for weeks (or months). Maybe it’s time to manually order or make something happen Looks terrible. It’s almost like these stores are begging collectors to go the Amazon route, regarding action figures (of all lines)

If it's consolation for anyone, one of my local Walmarts, notorious for a disheveled, stolen-riddled year-old WWE selection just restocked with the newest Basic series, Tough Talkers, and I'd imagine Elites(gone when I got there).

hoping for something good there tomorrow morning.....please please please No luck since then, checked it a few times. But yesterday I was lucky to be there when they were resetting toys. They had tags for Flashbacks and the woman there scanned them and said they would be in Friday or Saturday.

I could see that but the entire section is gone Every years from right after Christmas to Feb 1 stores like Walmart, Target and Toys R Us do inventory, and a reset after they do their inventory. This is so that they can A. See how they realistically did for the holidays, and B. to see what they want to stock in terms of quantities going forward. You will see a new display sometime in early February.

as of this morn my aisle is reset and wwe has a huge section of space. approx 4 ft by 4 ft as apposed to the 2 feet it previously had. Unfortunately the space was empty but id like to think in the next few days it will be filled and I can grab the new exclusives.

One of the three nearest Walmarts. The other two had these elites as well as the basic Howard Finkel set
