you, you hypocritical quasi-scalping clown Lol I'm a scalper? Do you even know what that word means? I have never sold a thing. I'm an in and out box collector. Show me my "scalping" "sales". I'll wait for ya I'm off rest of the week. that’s why i said “quasi”. you may not be selling them, but you’re going about scalper ways of getting them. although i wouldn’t be surprised to find out you’ve scalped before considering your connection

And he had to have TWO. Let's just ensure these things never make it to the customer. Well he bought them I'll update you if they get replenished. Dude his point is valid, you can't be on here complaining that "Mattel is the problem" when you have your employee-brother buying all the stock before it hits the shelves. It's incredibly hypocritical.

Someone posted this on social media... This seems pretty early for people to be finding these.... Wonder if this means they are hitting soon? Are we getting another crack at Series 1? I was able to find Series 1 but I know a lot of people didn't. I'm not in love with Series 2 - - - most likely only Kevin Nash for me (if I can find it). And since we are getting fake "Diesel" I guess we can safely assume that fake "Razor" will be in a future wave? So what happened to the filthy animals Rey? That's definitely not it. what's with the change? You're super late to the party... They had to course correct. It got pulled, presumably by WWE.

you, you hypocritical quasi-scalping clown you: "the availability is mattel's fault" also you: "my brother prevented customers having a fair chance" I guess I should wait while you finish your thought process. I meant exactly what I said the other day. Take it or leave it 🤷 I don't sell figures for profit. (At least not currently) Nor have I sold any. I made a few trades sure but I never sold anything to anyone for profit. I dont go store to store buying the shelf out, Unfortunately, Mattel and Walmart chose these to be 2 per case. Does it suck for the next guy? Absolutely, cause guess what? You and I were both in that position as well. But at least with me they are coming home to a collector. There's things called anomalies. His store getting these doesn't change the fact that Walmart and Mattel combined distribution has been crap for the last half or so decade. I will absolutely stand by what I said other day. And maybe I'll change my tune on that subject when the preorders actually work, and yes (don't kill me) I ordered 2 eddies and 2 mankind's.

It's incredibly hypocritical. I can see it coming off that way, but like I mentioned in previous post anomalies can happen. I'm not dismissing his claim, it is valid. But I still stand by what I said.

I'm still looking for SCSA but I'm not trying that hard, currently just checking once or twice a week. Have there been any restocks after finding them in the shippers? Steve from Mattel said the MNW line is going into the planogram on Walmarts next reset. Hoping that they will re-stock/stock more of this line with that being a thing

At the end of the day these are going to homes of collectors. On the flip side if he didn't get to them, someone else perhaps a scalper would have. Look, I work a part time time job at target, 1 day a week. Do I like working at target? Absolutely not. But I chose to work there to support my habit. Doesn't interfere with my main job at all and I get piece of mind knowing I can get a figure I'm after from them. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.

I just dont understand how Target can have the Legends line and Ultimate Legends figures literally sitting online for anyone to order at any time
but Walmart can't get more than 2 ultimate Monday Night Wars figures at a time, to maybe half their stores or only ship 2 cases worth of MNW elites on random shippers with no online stock to be had

Yes, let's all get part-time jobs at Walmart & Target just so we can buy the exclusive wrestling toys out of the back room. I'll share that info in the interview "oh I don't really want to work here. I just want first-crack at all your toys. When do I start?" I miss the 90's when you could collect figures WITHOUT having to take a job at the store. I agree, your brother is a saint for rescuing these rare figures from hitting the public shelves & risking them falling into the hands of a scalper. He's a regular Robin Hood! All jokes aside, I'm glad you got what you wanted. And I'm jealous. I'm also incredibly discouraged at THE WAY you got them. As it means this is going to be just as difficult (or worse) for those of us without "connections" or "anomolies" to get these into our collections.

I'm being honest here but definitely look into making a hot wheels guy a lookout guy. They hit multiple stores a day.

The idea that the distribution issues have been improved or even resolved reads more like Mattel might have clued them in on how much more successful Target's distribution channels and methods to reach their customers are. Also not really sure what Walmart's warehouse and fulfillment center network looks like, but I've seen Target expand theirs and successfully (unlike some Walmart examples I saw in the RA thread) utilize deliveries directly from local stores to get product. Don't have to dump as much product at discount stores when you have better channels to reach interested buyers. I hope it gets better, but I don't necessarily get why they're still getting 2 UEs per series. The legends UE figures hitting at the same time a new series hits pegs feels like a much better way to do it, unless they have a ton of UE executions to get out while the line is still going.

Wow. This thread got completely derailed.
Anyway, knowing these are going to be so short stocked, whatever employee iss goes on or not, pretty much guarantees those Ultimates as being ebay exclusives.
Better start saving now.

Another Walmart cleared out by employees. I get it, but it's damn discouraging. I checked two today & found nothing. No idea if they had them or I missed them. In these cases we'll never know because they're never making it to the shelves. I don't understand the desire to BRAG..... No dude, I'm not jealous that you WORK at Walmart. I'm discouraged that employees are able to buy the entire stock before customers even get a chance. And YES, there SHOULD be more stock. If you all work at Walmart, DO SOMETHING about that if you really want to impress the rest of us.

Still no shipper found in my area. But… my boy Codyverse: Tag Team Champion found a fresh shipper up in his area today, untouched. He picked me up a Taker and Stone Cold. Relieved is an understatement.

Agree that WCW Nash is the only worthwhile figure in Series 2 (but at least it's great!)
