Yeah after the restock my walmart completely sold out elite 54 and all the elite flashbacks. Theres still a couple Slaughters and Million dollar mans for the Fink BAF. And the Daniel Bryan two pack is the only one that sold and the basics I seen Shane and Braun is all that really went.

My Walmart said they were getting another shipment in on February 6 as well. All the flashbacks are gone except for the Warrior.

Warrior is still rotting at all 3 of my Walmarts....maybe this, the DM and the one Singlet Warrior and the HOF 2 pack will finally open their eyes to stop making so many god damn Warrior figures.

still haven't gotten in Flashback basics yet. A woman scanned them and now they say they are coming 2/6? Yeah, we don't have them either.

Mattel don’t force the stores to order them though But Mattel puts him in the sets that they do order. Stores cant just say "Ship me these 5 figures but no Warriors, we have enough already"...I like Warrior figures and the USA Warrior was one of my most wanted but their ideology of "Lets make a ton of Warriors cause they sell" isnt working any more. At first sure, with the right/proper attire choice? Maybe...but just tossing them out like its Halloween candy just doesnt work. Neither Singlet Warrior should have been made (at least for E26) Elite 26 should have been Green attire Warrior and they should have saved the Ultimate Maniacs Warrior to put with Savage in a two pack (HOF line) and scrapped the WM8 Warrior

They are completely over saturating the market with the same guys. I get that they have so many attires they can do but at this point everyone has at least 2. I myself have 6 warrior and 6 Macho and don’t have the new elite yet.

My two WalMarts haven't gotten either Flashback set or the EG Angle. Both have gotten the Elite set with Charlotte Flair and the BP with Stephanie/Foley.

I myself have 6 warrior and 6 Macho and don’t have the new elite yet. I feel like there is still demand for both but only if it’s an iconic attire or more effort is put in. I think that singlet warrior could have sold better had they put the duster in and you’re right about the two pack for ultimate maniacs. The most recent savage with the robe is proof that done properly they can still sell well.

I’ll keep buying any and all elite Ultimate Warriors. Same goes for Savage, Hitman, Blonde Sting, Hogan, & Flairs.

The UM Warrior should have been limited release (store exclusive) its literally an attire he wore once that most people dont even remember. The E26 Warrior was just a waste I never once saw that design listed in anyones "must have" Warrior attires.

Outside of a Neon Green and maybe a purple trunks Warrior....I really have no desire to own another one but I know they're going to keep pumping them out 91 Rumble Warrior and WM7 I think are the only Warriors I ever paid full price for. Everything else I got discounted.

I agree that Warrior and Macho in particular have been over-saturated. Last year alone we I had the 00 WCW, Ultimate Maniacs, DM, and Bash at the Beach 3 pack in stores, plus the Wolfpack RSC figure online. That's more Elites in one year than Bret Hart has had in total. I realize Mattel has to rely heavily on the high-selling figures, and that WWE isn't doing a very good job of making new stars. But I think there are some noteworthy names that they have under contract who would sell well at retail. It's just a little confusing to see a fleet of Savage figures rolled out, but hear that there are no current plans for a Surfer Sting.
With that said, I think it's hard to declare a figure is warming when the series just started hitting shelves a week or two ago.

The E26 Warrior was just a waste I never once saw that design listed in anyones "must have" Warrior attires. The UM should have been in the regular elite line not a DM then it could have been 1 per case but there was a seriously moronic choice at Mattel to make that a DM. E26 came out around about the time of Warriors passing and I can only assume cases of it were going to be used for some kind of appearance. There are some great attires yet to be made so hopefully they’ll be made soon

The problem is not all WalMarts carry the same products. I have three WalMarts I go to in the area. And of those there were two WalMart that never carried the DM line.(original or reboot) Not even a tag for them...Although they did get the WMIII figure. It was the same when Mattel was releasing DCUC figures. After series 2 or 3 the closest store to me didn't carry any DCUC figures not even their Exclusives. Nor did they carry any of the DC lines except for the basic Nolan Trilogy figures. I asked the manager why and was told they get their reset plans from corporate and that is who decides what product the stores carried. So I either had to go to stores in NJ or about 40 minutes farther north to find a Walmart that carried the DC figures.
So if WalMart corporate wouldn't hold product out of certain stores those Warriors would have moved better than what they did. As for Warrior and Savage in general I don't mind if they keep releasing them as long as Warrior isn't in a singlet and Savage isn't in the long tights. I have kept to my promise and haven't purchased the other singlet attired Warrior after e26, but although I keep saying I won't buy another Macho in tights I seem to have purchased them all. Now if they would just give Surfer Sting the Warrior/Savage treatment I would be happy.

I went to the three Walmart's in my area that have put this set on shelves, and out of Warrior, Yoko, Mean Gene, and Syxx, Warrior was the only one I did not see today. But he was in each store (2 each) a week ago when they hit the shelves for the first time. They may not be selling in your area but could be selling well in other areas which may be why Mattel keeps pumping him, and Macho Man, out like they have. Though, I agree with other people on this thread that Ultimate Maniacs Warrior should have been in a regular elite since he didn't come with any unique accessories, that may have moved that particular Warrior figure better being that it would have been a little cheaper. As for the E26 Warrior, I heard that they made extra for some promotion or event(s) that Warrior was going to do but then he died and stores were over loaded with these figures - more so than they would have been if it was just a regular release. I also think that if the figure came with the duster he wore with the figures attire it may have sold a little better. However, I do wish Mattel would release other wrestlers we have not had yet, but they need to get them signed by the WWE first.
