Every Walmart in a 50 mile radius got 1 (maybe 2) shipments of these over a month ago, sold out in a couple days, and has not gotten another shipment since. Jas anyone else run into this problem? They've gotten more shipments of the regular elites and Kurt Angle, but zilch on the flashback line.

Same here. I have about 4 WMs in my area and they all got one or two cases and then they were GONE. I bought Warrior and Syxx in the store myself. But I had to trade with someone here to get Mean Gene and Yoko.

And no online stock either. That’s what baffles me the most, they, along with Target never order a good amount of stock for their online store.
That’s why I love TRU exclusives, never have to deal with stock issues like I do with Target and Walmart, online or in store.

Same situation here. Stores got 1 case, which was gone in days to a week, depending on the store. The basic series has been restocked, but nothing new of the Elites. We had distribution issues with TNF 3, but I saw multiple restocks of TNF1 and 2 at the same stores.

Just went to a Walmart stocked full with 2 or 3 cases of both series. Didn’t buy any but I’m going back for Warrior soon

using the tracker I went to my local walmart when these hit and was able to grab 2 out of the 4 because the overnight stock clerk bought the other 5!(myself and manager was not happy about this) this left one lone warrior for about a week until that sold.
I have a very helpful toy manager at my store who always checks stock and chats with me about stuff. she even goes out of her way to find me and let me know when things come in or whats coming. Im in this store 5 out of the 7 days because of the job im in. I had to locate the last 2 figures out of town and a friend of mine grabbed them for me.
My toy manager found me a day later and told me the "set" i was looking for is now listed as a warehouse out of stock with no restock date. She thought that was a sign that series 2 would likely be on its way.
I see this going 2 ways. either walmart will order a ton of series 1 again and be stuck with stock and will prolong series 2, or for once they had a perfect sell through on series 1 and will now move onto series 2

Maybe this is Mattel trying to rework their distribution? Limiting the number of shipments would definitely go a long way to prevent figures from rotting on the shelves. Luckily I was able to snag a set of elites and basics as soon as they hit, here. I did notice that one of my WMs had a display for their mainline basics that said "new figures every month," and so far that's been true.

Yes! I was lucky enough to find 2 full cases at 2 different Walmarts. Hope I'm lucky enough to find Series 2 the same way.

The Walmart’s around me still have the full sets. They sold out almost immediately of the first run but this second run has been sitting for a few weeks.

My main Wal-Mart restocked the Elites 3 times and sold out within a day or two. The basics have been stocked twice. My second nearest Wally hasn't gotten any of the Flashback Elites yet.

I got mine after the first re-stock and since then I haven’t checked really so I don’t know. But the first time they came in it was only probably one case per store and those figs were mostly gone the first day. It took about 3 weeks for the re-stock.

My Walmart has stocked both 3 times. I was able to get both sets with the first stock. The elites sold through every time but the last case and a half of the basics haven't moved in over a month.

Basics are staying on the pegs, the elites are flying off
I hope they wait until summer for wave 2, I've seen wave 1 like once

Ive yet to see another restock at 3 different Walmarts...Still looking for another Mean Gene I ordered a Mean Gene off of ebay for slightly more than cost. That is something I NEVER do but I feel like this series is going to be like the Elite Then, Now, Forever Walmart series with Liz where you see it once and then never again! |

It may be somewhat rare as compared to Typhoon, but this one is waaaaaaaaay easier to find than TNF 3 already. |

I honestly hope it contributes and not Walmart can keep the flow of new sets coming in. Nothing worse than when these end up sitting and the new ones don’t come in. 1- 2 Cases should be like the max for all stores.

Which would be fine if it weren’t for scalpers coming in and buying two cases themselves. I wouldn’t complain about that either if they actually had them available online for a period of time as well. |
