Well since December my local walmart has not gotten any elites, so this week i was on the luck side. I finally found elite set #74 the only one missing was Goldberg. Also i was luck enough to get the Chase Lince Dorado and Anvil for my collection. Really love the Natalya it really got a big improvement from her basic figures before and Andrade, it looks amazing and have a great scan, i specially prefer it over the NXT one. A question, has anyone had the walmart problem of they not carrying elites like for 2 months Attachment Deleted |

Congrats! Mine was bare for most of 2019, but has been great so far this year.

That gold Dorado is a pretty sweet figure

My Walmart has a dept manager scalper at one ... and a stocker scalper at the other.
Literally, the ONLY elites that I’ve seen at either of my 2 walmarts since Thanksgiving ... have been 2 E73 Triple H, 1 Gerald Brisco, 2 E74 Natalya and 2 E74 AJ Styles
The same store stocker also told me that there were 3 cases on order and that they were supposed to arrive on the 20th. 4 days past and not a single elite on the shelf, so I walked in on the 5th day and asked the dept manager and he said “It doesn’t show any in the system”.
BUT, you know when someone is lying to you ... and it was that vibe. He knows that I know what’s up now ... and I’m not even that type of person to gribe, but that sh*t is not only wrong, but pathetic.
If it continues to happen, then I’ll simply message a friend of mine that has worked there as a manager for close to 20 years and have him check into it.... he’ll fix it.
I dont even really want to do that, but what they’re doing is some bs that is against company policy and literally keeps me from having any chance whatsoever at finding anything.
But there’s plenty of Seth Rollins and AJ Styles basics 🙌🏻

One that's gotten 1 since the Ali set, and one that hasn't gotten any elites since e68 (Mabel set). Target at least gets a new case to put out sparsely every 10 days or show and mix in w/their Top Picks and Exclusive series. |

I have think of that idea specially here in Puerto Rico since WWE is really a big deal here. If your friend can help is better so you can get better figures. |

But there’s plenty of Seth Rollins and AJ Styles basics 🙌🏻 Walmart employees/managers are not suppose to scalp or hoard there own product. Its against company policy, so just ask for the store manager and explain the situation. Tell the store manager who all is involved and they should take care of it. It would also help to have some kind of evidence to support your claim, like ebay listings. |

Awesome finds, congrats!
My Wal-Mart has also been pretty bare for most of 2019. Though it was one of the first to get the Matt Riddle basic series and has since restocked that same series over, and over, and...over...Fingers crossed for some elites soon!

I dont understand it .The figures are gone in less than an hour when they hit sheves here yet they do not order more stock.

Same here stores will sell through 2 cases in 1 to 2 days but then sit empty for weeks. Makes no sense how irregular these are stocked. Makes less sense why most stores only get one case at a time. |

That's awesome! My Wal-Mart only has Rollins & AJ figures so it always surprises me to see other people have success at Wal-Mart!

I don't even bother with elites anymore, I work in a store full time and for over a year now, I don't even get to look at a whole set in person, the case is always pilfered and maybe they'll hide like, a Jeff Hardy or diva in the Barbies, and that's gone in a couple days. these big retailers really didn't ante up after tru shut down.

I've said before. Until someone high up in the food chain gets word of whats going on nothing will be done. I'm not talking about store managers. I'm talking about a corporate big wig thats concerned with sales and numbers. If they heard of empty shelves for an in demand toy I'm almost sure something would be done about it. I just wish I knew who and how.
