I have like 5 Walmarts in my town and none of them stock Elites anymore, just basics. Has anyone seen this before? There isn't even space for elites.

It's one of the stranger planograms I've seen, but if your store is a baseline store (not a Super Center), then check the very bottom shelf of the four foot WWE section. That's where the Elites are sorted in two of the area stores I have that carry matching layouts. The peg hooks are assorted for Basics and Battle Packs, and the midway shelf is for belts and rings.
Wal-Mart is not going to stop carrying Elites. Neither is Target.
JFC this board has been jumping to some drastic conclusions lately.

Especially considering you made this same exact comment in the Walmart thread....should just be locked and deleted. Stores are carrying elites...

Asked 2 Walmarts what is going on. Both scanned the labels. 2 Answers. The one in my Town says there is a shipment coming the end of October with an end cap.
The 2nd Answer, Walmarts are not going to carry certain products in all stores. This store is no longer carrying Elites.
Not sure if the 2nd Answer is really true. I guess I'll find out by visiting.

All the Walmarts around me have been getting a steady supply of Elite 68 and 69 multiple times. There were plenty of Rocks to go around, too. This is all in the past two months.

It's like the broken clock thing, they'll have new figures two times a year. That's normal.

I asked an employee the same question about elites as well. She told me end of the month.

Yeah for real, I feel like mine quit carrying them too but they'll get them eventually. It's just a weird deal to see empty pegs there for months on end. Plus I don't really know -- they could have had them on weeks I didn't hunt and/or there are just local collectors that beat me to it and snatch everything in sight.

There’s a thread about Target no longer carrying Mattel Elite figures and now a thread about WalMart no longer carrying them.
Oh WFigs, you so funny. Haha

My stores haven’t had elites in a while but that doesn’t mean there not being carried, people are jumping to conclusions to quick if target and Walmart both quit carrying them it would be the end of that line.

There aren’t any elites in the Walmart stores nearest me. When I get a chance to pop into any of the three around me, there’s always other dudes in front of the WWE section. The supply doesn’t meet the demand in my area. Plus the employees are butt.

The elites have been moved to the bottom shelves for some reason at certain stores. Some stores are bone dry right now but some are getting cases of elite70.

Brother works at Walmart.
He said his store wasnt going to carry the Ghostbusters elites but other store 45 min away will, and according to brickseek hes right. Not sure why he would lie to me, we both collect.
As for the other one, theres no pegs for elites but we have E69 on shelf below the pegs.

I have like 5 Walmarts in my town and none of them stock Elites anymore, just basics. Has anyone seen this before? There isn't even space for elites. The answer is very simple. 1. The store in question has not sold enough of the elites to warrant them to continue to sell them. 2. There are too many people stealing figures and/repacking them. 3. The store in question is not as big as other supercenter stores and has limited space. So its probably a small town just big enough to have a walmart, but barely. |

Most stores will carry Basics, Elites, Top Picks and Tag sets. For my area, some didn't carry retros during the flood of wave 7s. No peg or shelf space and zippo figures at all.
