I've seen the first Walmart wave twice, the second NEVER and then the first "retro app" wave is clogging shelves and I've never seen anything past that IN STORE. WTF!?

What do I search for on Walmart.com to find the flashbacks? Maybe they’re gone already but I couldn’t find them. Thanks! That post was 14 hours ago. They gone my man. (WWE flashback usually works for me).

What is really sad if you think about it for a minute. Back when wwf and wcw where fighting it out every week the product overall was great, the figures compared to now where barely functional. Now the quality of wwe figures overall is excellent but the product on tv is very lacking without any true competition. So now the toys are actually better than what is actually on the tv screen... Kids want toys and aren't as picky on function, they just want them. I didn't give a crap if Ultimate Warrior only moved his arms, I just WANTED an Ultimate Warrior toy. OCD Adults want perfection (for $20 or under). So a lot of what's made now is marketed towards, mostly, the adult collectors. That's why there's basics still, for kids who don't care as much and just want a Cena or Reigns toy and who's parents don't/can't drop $20 on a toy their kid will chew on. But then there's a $20 1992 Ron Simmons next to it on the shelf, which I'd bet 0 child gives 2 craps about. Toys will always be a thing. I have a kid, she likes video games, and she likes toys. Same with every other kid she knows. Same with kids from the past when video games and other forms of play-based entertainment existed. How we purchase them changes, but toys won't go anywhere.

I have the original Kane and have 0 interested in it's value or this new one. Because a price decease of $30 on a toy I have isn't going to matter to my mortgage 😂😂😂

I have 0 problems with it and love the DAMN thing. I also don't expect 100% accuracy out of any mass produced, made in China, cheapo toy. If these were $100+ limited edition type figures, yeah. But these aren't. It's like getting mad McDonalds didn't give you freshly, hand baked buns on your burger or something.
This might be my favorite figure so far this year. Until Dude Love hits for sure.

My local Walmarts are all stuffed with wave 1. So either these will never show because there's too many, or they'll Pop up and sit around forever with many missing the BAF parts due to thieves.
I'm on the hunt though. Need Flair and Stinger.

I don't think many employees are hiding/selling back door. Most just don't care. They're busy, they just want to get through their shift at their crap, low paying job. They don't care. I don't blame them.
I talk all that crap, and low and behold, a lady at Target got me Ron Simmons and DIY today LOL. She was kinda miffed I asked, and had an attitude, but she checked and got them for me so no harm, no foul.
But lately, they just haven't been checking AT ALL for me when they used to do it with no problem ALL the time. At least they're not as bad as Walmart, they just give me a dull stare and a grunt. Something's better than nothing I guess lol.

Target used to be awesome for me. I'd give them the DPCI, they'd go get the toys. No problem. The ones near me have always been cool. Until they switched their scanning and DPCI system. Now, literally, every single one "No, there's nothing back there". They don't even check the scanners half the time.
I'm not mad at the underpaid employees. I get it. They have to stock crap and don't want to get interrupted by some nerd. But also, like, just put stuff out dudes, first thing in the AM. Just put it out. You know I'm gonna ask. I see you have stuff in the back. YOU KNOW I KNOW! Just make it a policy "put stupid toys out first things for nerds" and we'll stop bugging you.

Wednesday PWT's unloaded a ton of new ones from that pre-sale in their store just in time for All In and Starrcast. They had Alternate Kenny (same attire as the Pop with blonde hair), Burnard, Callihan, Hero, Rosemary and Switchblade. Pretty sure that was it. According to one of the dudes working there they're getting another wave this week they think. Any pics? He's my crappy quick one of a few. I'll try to get more later. I'm gonna hit the store again probably Thursday

Still nothing at the 2-3 near me, or rather they're likely in the back but no one will pull them for me. I'm OK with it. I have a feeling after the hype-wave calms down it'll be easier. I see Eddie warming all over and that was the one I wanted most last time. Just need Simmons!

The reason I'm holding off hunting is because Starrcast and All In, too many extra wrestling nerds in town burning through stock 🤣🤣🤣 I'll give it another few weeks.

I sorted by quantity on Brickseek and 2 targets near me that were "low" got "high" today but nothing out or in back (both usually have cool employees who look so I trusted them). Hopefully that just means they're in the warehouse and these bust out during the week.
