I found Superstars Rick Rude at Columbia Walmart the other day. If anyone sees Earthquake, please let me know.

I can't find Earthquake, and my Walmart is packed with Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Bray Wyatt.
You know, the non-Golden Era figures in the line. Those don't sell nearly as well in my experience.
Probably because it should be a Golden Era line, especially since it has LJN type packaging.

Heel Andre could work, but he seems unlikely for the Coliseum Collection line since he received a regular line figure. and Hogan has probably had 50+ and a coliseum figure what's your point I think Hogan only had 9 figures when he was let go in 2015. I don't think he has 50+. I think Warrior and some of these other guys have significantly more.

I'd absolutely love to have him in the Superstars line.

It blows my tiny mind that Mattel have had all 3 founding members of the NWO under contract at the same time for years now (including Hogan first time 'round)... yet still no 3-pack. No RSC exclusive set... no BATB 3-pack... no UE 3-pack... no Elite 3-pack... Not even a Basic 3-pack. 😔 I like the nWo, but my Walmart can't move the WWE Superstars versions of Hall and Nash, which I'm a little surprised by. Box set prices are high, and these guys have been released several times now. It probably should have happened in 2014.

Both my Walmart orders came on time today. I got a regular Hogan and a chase Hogan in one package, and Piper in another order.
Everything shipped perfectly in good boxes with bubble packaging included.
Walmart rules.

Love that post with all of the events listed above. They've done a nice job covering him so far.

They have to make Wrestlemania 8. I think this is the biggest one that is missing.

It still take a year or more to get a new wwe talents figure to market. That is too damn long !!! Prime Example: Aj Styes None of these guys are new to WWE. They've all been employed there for way over a year. Their system isn't that good. If it were better, they'd sell more figures. Outback Jack hit retail faster 30+ years ago. These should be widely available at retail this year: LA Knight
Solo Sikoa
Dominic Mysterio
Gunther
Cody Rhodes
Damien Priest

If they could get figures out in the right quantities that people wanted they'd be doing a lot better. For instance, Gunther has been the IC champion for what, 15-16 months? Never seem him at retail. No one will buy the 15 Big E basics hanging at my Walmart. Figure out a way to get these guys on the pegs: LA Knight Solo Sikoa Dominic Mysterio Gunther Cody Rhodes Damien PriestToo many figures that people won't buy hanging around forever. How many more Cody Rhodes figures do we need?! He should have a basic available at retail for the Christmas shopping season. They would sell this year. There will be basics hanging around all holiday season, but it won't be him and probably not any of those other guys mentioned above either. If Mattel could get those 6 guys out in basics to Walmart during the Christmas shopping season they would sell a gazillion figures in those 6 weeks. But they can't, and they won't, and that's the problem.

this isn’t Mattel’s fault it’s Walmart’s fault for being terrible at ordering Do you really think buyers for Walmart and Target are looking that closely at lineups? They're ordering a number of units based on inventory and time of season. I regularly buy NXT and womens figures. But the female figures are objectively an absolute albatross at retail. They move far, far more slowly and are regularly available for $3-5 on RSC. Maybe licensor requirements come into play. But you can't say that Jazwares or Mattel don't have some responsibility when a handful undesirable characters don't sell and clog up the pegs at thousands and thousands of stores nationwide. Yeah, even though Walmart and Target don't know/care, Mattel has to know what is shipping out to some degree. Someone eventually comes into the Walmart near me and takes the super old stuff away, so someone is paying attention to something.

Mainline elites have been barely getting to retail since like series 93, can’t make money if you can’t sell anything Yeah, how the heck can I look at Scarlett, Raquel Gonzalez, and Nash Carter for a year and never, ever see an Elite 100 Andre the Giant at retail anywhere ever?

As great as it is (for some people) to have nxt guys in the main lines, i feel this has been a mistake. Iv been a wrestling fan all my life, but i never got into nxt. I go into my local smyths and i honestly dont recognise half of the figures. Iyo sky/santos escobar?/angel garza...they all ended up on heavily reduced and they still dont sell. I think if mattel were wise they would scrap all nxt talent until they have been proven on the main roster. Stick to what works Yep, they clog the pegs at Walmart (and often times Target as well). Nash Carter, Jake Atlas, Scarlett, Raquel (Gonzalez) Rodriguez, etc. are going no where at my local store. The NXT figures are the ones that should be available online. I'm under the assumption that kids don't watch NXT in large part. Mattel would sell more if these weren't hanging around forever.

I just found Hogan and Bam Bam at my local Walmart. I apologize if this was asked before, but what it the story with the white paper behind the figures in the packaging?

I found Superstars figures for Hulk Hogan and Bam Bam Bigelow at Mt. Airy Walmart, so those must be hitting the area. If anyone sees Roddy Piper or Mr. Perfect please let us know.

I still see plenty of Kross and Raquels around but the rest of the wave has been gone for a while. I hope either one of them gets another elite for a while especially Kross,none of his figures has sold very well to say the least. Speaking of Kross, he moved slow in my area too, but not as slow as Scarlett. My Walmart still has 3 of her and they've been there for about a year now.
