Question for u guys finding new figures at walmart. Are they in the new resets or off on a side counter/different spot ? I'd like to know, too. Hit 3 Walmarts and 2 Targets yesterday and nothing. Got a few nice clearance items, but no sign of anything new aside from Battle Packs 60 at 1 Walmart. I'm calling it right now. They are taking cases off the pallets on the overnight shift or have a friend that works at the store that helps them out. I asked someone working on redoing the electronics dept. The toy department is being redone on walmart week 28. Those cases should say "new mod" on the case. So they should not be put out yet.

Awful. People will be buy anything with the WWE License. C'mon now. They didn't get my money at least lol. I always liked collecting the different bendie figures so nice at least to see some WWE ones again at in some form even if they could look way better. Is this mattel made ? Nothing really surprises me anymore.

Here is a real question, why is it that target stores already marked down the captain marvel figure leftovers to 1/2 off there original price after not even 6 months.
Yet it takes 2 or 3 years for an exclusive wwe figure line to get marked down and only when the line is dead.

Rusevs taking up shelf space didn't allow for reorders to kick in on new stock. Only one of 3 targets by me actually got any series 4 in. Bingo !! I have 4 targets within an hour of me including my local one. None of those 4 got series 4. So if it's 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 got series 4 that is really bad for an exclusive line.

Recently I walked into Walmart and found a whole set of E68. To my surprise E67 hasn’t been spotted anywhere at retail yet. I wonder if another retailer might be pick them up as I haven’t heard/seen anything as of yet. Hey did you snag the pat figure? Also what did the wwe section look like as far shelf space ?

No shower Rusev is not the reason the line is dead. Its just the only figure left and probably thousands of them rotting on the pegs in stores just like my local one here: flic.kr/p/2gHqXTbIt's been that way minus the clearance tag for easily over a year. It's great that series 4 sold out so well and so fast where it was actually stocked. There are 1800 target stores in North America. If a third of those those have 3-4 nxt rusev's rotting then that is thousands of unsold figures. That's all a guess but I think that's a fair educated guess. Retailers don't like dead inventory, so mattel should have recalled it. That would have saved the line in my opinion.

Exactly what Chip said. I love it how people here say "Its not a bad figure, it's just nobody wanted it". Meanwhile this figure is still on the pegs at I can only guess quite a few target stores right now 2 years after it came out ?? If nobody wants something and it does not sell I am pretty sure that is really bad in the retail world. The reason you had select stores restocking series 4 a dozen times is because you had 2-3 other stores clogged with shower Rusev. This figure absolutely killed the nxt line.

sounds like you're being a tad melodramatic, not to mention the NXT Rusev is in the same lineup with NXT Reigns The nxt reigns figure is not the greatest either if your not a fan of him. The difference between nxt reigns and nxt Rusev if for no other reason is at least that figure has a cloth nxt shirt. To my knowledge that is the one and only cloth nxt shirt made to date. So if you see an nxt reigns figure on the pegs on clearance it might be worth it to buy just for that and just sell the figure on eBay for whatever you can get.

I think it's the worst ever because it killed the nxt line if for no other reason. That elite rhyno sucked but it came with a new tag team belt.
Belts = Money
Now there maybe 5000 elite rhynos on eBay right now, but they sold them out of stores if only for that blue tag belt.
That is of course if your not a sleezeball that steals the belts to re-sell.

[/quote]Tito wasn’t a bad Elite at all, it was just overproduced. [/quote]
Very true and I finally bought one for $9 when he was marked down. But he was definitely the prequel to nxt rusev.

I still will not buy that figure even if its marked down to a dollar and/or if target dumps them off at goodwill. Nobody ever asked for this figure, it killed the nxt line, and it has no accessories included to entice anyone to buy it just for the accessories. The Nxt Rusev figure has no redeeming value at all to me at least. It is the worst figure mattel has ever made, bar none. The only reason to buy this figure is to either complete your elite nxt collection or you are a diehard Rusev fan and have to own every one of his figures made. There may have been other bad elite figures made by mattel but none that checked the 3 boxes I mentioned. I also want to thank mattel and target for not doing anything about this awful figure to purge it out of the stores until now when the line is officially dead. You can both equally take a bow to this crapfest. Sorry if I am venting but i saw now they are finally marking this atrocity down. Its very much like they waited too long with the Tito Santana figure. Thank you to the 3 different forum members here who I was able to trade or purchase the riott, McIntyre, and finally the aleister figures from this final series/set. Here are some pics of proof of what targets in my area looked liked from 5 months ago and have not changed much at all as far as I know. flic.kr/p/2dwopvDflic.kr/p/24iJTyRflic.kr/p/SPLV2j

Bill was surprised by the demand and the prices on eBay for Harley Race. That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard him say. If he was not shortpacked in a baf set and that set did not have a limited run made it would not be going for ungodly amounts on scalper bay right now. It mattels fault and they still will not own there ups.

If mattel had dedicated vendors maybe people could actually buy new figures and not hope and pray the pat patterson figure is gonna be another Harley Race situation all over again.
That or just make all legends online exclusive, Amazon, ringside, etc.
People should not have to get into arguments and fights to buy a damn wrestling figure.

You know what I love ?
The fact that no one at mattel mentions a word about retros, not even in passing.
It's like they just pretended they never existed at sdcc. Then someone has to twist there arm and they can't admit the line failed and is cancelled.
