Here is a question.
Why doesn't mattel just put red and blue stickers on the cases that are meant for target and walmart with there exclusive figures/sets ?
Mattel already puts stickers on cases of hotwheels.
Red stickers for target, blue for walmart. They could even be the same size as the hotwheels stickers. Just make the blue ones a darker shade of blue.
Then this issue of not sending walmart and target there exclusives should be dramatically reduced.

So can we officially say target does not give a crap about wwe figures or even there own exclusives ??Even if we wanted to we can't find them except in Canada of all places. Target isnt a toy store, so I doubt its a priority for them. You know what I mean. Walmart is a quantum leap better, and you at least have a chance. I can't remember the last time I bought a wwe or marvel figure at target. So maybe they just don't give a crap about all figures across the board.

If this is happening very rampetedly then that means discount stores are gonna get more exclusives. So either mattel is sending target the wrong stuff or target is not ordering there own exclusives or both. What say you Action Figure Attack ?? Double question mark!!! You mean business with this question! Lol! See answer a few posts above. I don't mean to be a jerk Action Figure AttackTarget stores are doing a god awful job of stocking wwe figures. A lot of us have to go to eBay just to buy some wwe figures. I can't remember the the last figure I bought at target it's been so long. Could you please pass this info along to the target higher ups? I and others would be extremely greatful.

Action Figure AttackIs there anything that can be done to get target to do a better job stocking wwe figures ? Year in and year out they have been pretty much the worst retailer for actually getting product on the pegs. Can there be changes to the packaging of cases so they say something to the effect of "stock immediately" and "do not backstock". Something needs to be done Action Figure AttackSecondly why is toysrus Canada getting cases of current target exclusives ? They have also have tons of nxt series 4 sitting on the pegs from pics and videos I've seen. Many stores in the state's never got. Lastly is nxt elite series 3 Rusev the worst selling exclusive/figure of all time and killed the nxt line ?

If the ultimate line dies it will be because if the upcoming brock lesnar that is going to rot any and everywhere it's stocked.

I have a crazy idea, remove top talents elites replace it at walmart and target stores with there own peg or 2 of there exclusive figures.
So take what you did with the network spotlight series with toysrus and transfer it over to the 2 top retailers in the usa. Then people could have a much better chance of buying an exclusive and maybe buy 2 of same character.
The easier you make it for someone to buy your product the more you should sell.
Thoughts ??

Not one of the stores in the title but I just found a Sensational Sherri at Meijer. They must also get overstock from distribution centers. Does meijers have there own price labels on stuff or not like other discount stores do ? Also can you share a pic cause that's a great find.

The line is dead and was canned before a full production run could be made. I am tired of people saying "they can't give that information out". Why the hell not ? Who is it hurting ? Come on man, enough with the b.s. and red tape. I can’t give that information out. More than 200 ? Can you give a percent number that got made as opposed to how many where supposed to be made ?

You know he can’t reveal production numbers. And I know my area stores (three that I hit regularly) all had at least three cases. Two cases in the first shipment and at least one case the following week in a second shipment. And besides Austin none of the figures lasted on the pegs more that two days. And even the Austin figures were gone by week three. The line is dead and was canned before a full production run could be made. I am tired of people saying "they can't give that information out". Why the hell not ? Who is it hurting ? Come on man, enough with the b.s. and red tape.

Ok I would like to know this once and for all.
How many cases/Harley Race figures where made and shipped out before walmart killed the line.
We know Harley was one per case, which I was very strongly critical of. So the answer for both questions will be the same.
So brass tax and no red tape, Steve please answer this and thank you. There may be a few more hidden in Canada walmarts since one was found there recently.
I am going to guess 200 cases/Harley figures. What is your rebuttal Steve ?

nerdist.com/article/new-toys-r-us-store-opens/Apparently, there are no wrestling figures in the 2 new Toys R Us stores that just opened. They are operating with a different business model where they rent shelf/floor space to toymakers, who use the space to sell directly to shoppers in the store and keep the entire cut of their sales, similar to a flea market. Under this model, the toymaker would be totally responsible for how the shelves are stocked, which really isnt the case for Walmart and Target. From what I have seen in videos, Mattel does have space in the new stores but it is for Barbie and Hot Wheels. So its a vendor type model that i have been harping on for the last few years. Hmmm maybe mattel should take a hard look at this and see if it works

Well my target finally got new figures and it's like 2 or 3 cases of the network spotlight series.
So I just gave up and waited for the prices to go down to a reasonable level on ebay.
Target sucks so bad and finding figures. Your only hope is if you have like 5 or more in a surrounding area. Then you might get lucky at one, if you get there at the right time.

I find it funny that walmart and target want store exclusive lines but barely stock them ? SS found online but not much in stores. Network spotlights in stores but not online. Something's broke here. It's called mattels distribution and it's been "broke" since damn near the beginning I think I can safely say. It is also not gonna get any better any time soon because that might actually cost mattel more money to ensure product is actually getting to stores. Walmart and Target don't really care because these exclusives are just little bonuses to entice people to buy more crap in there stores.

Ok there are 96 pages now on this thread so this may have been asked before. Why has the yellow intercontinental belt from warrior still not been made ? Its an iconic belt from an iconic match/era. It would seem like a no brainer. There have been many chances to make it and still nothing. Not sure why. I have a few looks in mind where I’d like to see it included. Hopefully it’ll happen relatively soon. Ok thank you for answering my question. I have 2 follow questions. Was there any thought given to making the hall of champions warrior that came out a few years ago, with the yellow intercontinental belt ? Could this belt be included in the next rsc exclusive belt pack/set ? I mean you and bill mentioned that you know there is demand for this particular belt in a q&a rsc video. I think it would be a home run to finally make this belt and find a "spot" for it.

I picked up an extra chase Gerald Brisco at onalaska walmart a few days ago and snagged elite 71 Adam Cole and big show today at lacrosse walmart.
I saw 2 inconics sets at sparta walmart last week if anyone still needs those.
