Prob from weather conditions wherever I got it. I did reseal it with stuff but it’s not “factory” sealed. All the parts are there.

My local Walmart I found these for $9.99 I got Taker,Shango, Mankind and Warrior few months ago… Today I went to another Walmart and found Hogan(yellow boots) Bam Bam x2 Mr. Perfect x2 Vader Earthquake Rick Rude Piper(didn’t get him) Cpt.Lou(didn’t get him) $19.99 a piece! So my question really is why couldn’t these typically be $10 instead of $20? Also with my haul today I see people selling the Bam Bam,Perfect,Rude,Vader and Earthquake pretty steep online! How much do you think those are actually worth all together? Also What would you consider to be the most “sought after” Figure of this line so far?! It's too early to tell. If based on your store report 5-7 is still hitting shelves and if that continues nationwide than walmart may finally be putting these up on the one peg that is left in most stores. I'm at the point where i am cutting back and waiting to see which figures pop up at ollies next. Anything is possible. Series 4-7 may still be out there in abundance. The only sought after figure is andre long term. Short term you could name off a few others for sure especially ali and davey boy. I am hoping to see some reveals at wrestlecon and at wweworld but i am starting to doubt we will hear any news about the superstars line. I am trying to be positive but there was nothing for the walmart preorder event and steve has been very quiet this year. I have not seen any responses to any questions regarding this line. In a week we will know more. I will try to find out.

I have yet to see anyone beyond the Vader series minus one red Terry Boulder. I was at a Walmart in Indy the other night that actually had a crapton of Rude, Savage, Rock, Quake, and almost everyone up to that point minus series 1. Quake was one that I rarely saw up to that point. To answer the sought after question the ones I’ve seen the least of are Perfect, T, and Bigelow. The ones I’ve seen the most of are almost everyone else besides the chase Hogan, Quake, and to a lesser extent Rude.

Here's how the line has looked in my area:
Wave 1 - plentiful. One store still has an entire peg full of Bray Wyatt, and literally nothing else. Plenty of Hogans and Flairs at Ollies too.
Wave 2 - These showed up but nowhere near as much as wave 1. Warrior stuck around a lot longer since he was kind of separate from the rest of the wave. Walmart.com was weird with these too, they would have Nash in stock, but no Hall until a couple months later. Never really saw wave 2 together, one or two would trickle out here and there. The only time I saw a complete set in store was on that years WrestleMania shipper.
Wave 3 - Taker was like Warrior in that he shipped in his own case, but he didn't stick around as long as Warrior. Mankind seemed to be the hardest one to find. Papa Shango and Ted DiBiase were everywhere and only recently clearanced out.
Wave 4 - Macho, Rock, T and Typhoon weren't too hard to find. Typhoon sat around longer. For some reason, Mr. T seemed to sell out the quickest.
Wave 5 - Earthquake and Rude did not hit most stores, quite a few of my Walmarts skipped over this wave entirely. I only saw Rude in store a couple times.
Wave 6 - Bam Bam and Perfect were very hard to find, especially Perfect. Hogan and Piper were easy to get, but they also shipped with Wave 7
Wave 7 - My Walmart has three pegs full of Piper and Vader. They got TONS of Hogans too, but had no problems moving any of them. Still moving that merch, brother! For what its worth, the only time I saw the chase Hogan was in wave 7, not 6. Captain Lou seemed to be far less plentiful.
Wave 8 - only saw a red Hogan once. Never saw Doink or Andre.
Most of my Walmarts have zero Superstars on the shelf now, so hopefully that means we're due for a Spring/Q2 reset. And I did this from memory, so my apologies if I forgot anyone or mixed up the waves.

Updated my Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Hogan with the newest head Nice i like it. One day you gotta show your collection pics man. I bet you got a lot of customs. So today i did a 7 hour run to i dont remember how many walmarts. My finds: Walmart- -one case of s8 was sitting on a pallet. -Another andre was on the hook of another store. So 2/10. I may have visited more than that but it was at least 10. -one scott hall mnw from the shippwr (only shipper i found at any walmart today and only the 3rd shipper i have seen in over 30 over the weeks) Target- One set of s2 motu-tmnt Two she-ra One set of the new 3 retro gijoe classifieds figures (the new cards are heavy/thick and sturdy. Now the bad news.... I talked with tons of personnel. I asked all of them to check on hand stock, pricing, backstock and replenishment. Every single store (at least 10 today) showed zero for the replenishment quantity with "no information..." no date. I then cross referenced with about 6 other mattel items. All of them had a date for replenishment, up until 4/20 for the basics. I will keep tabs with this but it appears that there is nothing on the horizon.i am not sure if that includes backstock at the central warehouse but this is the first time i have seen zeros across the board. Most stores had only 3-4 figures and only 2 stores had the pegs full (one store had 3 pegs with about 15 figures). All high volume stores had nothing. I saw mainly the rock, honkey,macho, red pants hogan and wyatt. I am sure those will be clearanced at the next reset. No s2,5,6 or 7. S9 is slowly coming out but nothing yet on the eSt coast nor will there be according to their inventory guns that were mainly completely inaccurate. Only once did the count match what i saw on the pegs. Edit: the store where andre was sitting on the pegs had not put out anything new in months. Not sure where andre came from then... So some stores truly get almost nothing. (Found this out speaking with 2 regional managers). Oh and yeah that andre i found at the store with the mnw shipper.

Yeah AWA Remcos were the wrestlers I played with as a kid and I always mixed in MOTU characters as well. Prince Adam was pretty much my jobber. So when this line started I need him represented.

No new superstars at my Walmart but picked up the Scott hall WCW debut figure so at least they actually got something new. Anyone seeing a perfect Andre or bulldog I'm interested

Finally found the new wave over the last couple weeks. Hogan is fine, it fits with the era of figures. I'm not displaying him with the all black suit though because that's kinda boring Doink is incredible. Absolute perfection Andre is just so cool. The fact they made him bigger than everyone else is the *chefs kiss I love that it's really a 2-in-1 if you want with the afro and blue boots included Bald Andre is even funnier...

Imagine walking into your local Walmart, to my surprise seeing Andre hanging on the peg from a distance, excited to grab Andre and doink. Only to see that someone opened Andre and took the legs......why??

Anyone have pics of the two new waves? I hear there are new pics of Tatanka as well as a new Razor/Brutus reveal. Can't find the pics though unfortunately. 😢
