I just picked up Giant Machine at Gamestop as well. According to the employee, the initial shipment only has 2 Giant figures in about a 65 mile radius. The one I have has the shorter singlet too. I'll use this one for my WM2 Andre, and look for another one for Giant Machine when these are finally more widely distributed.

Love your pics here, thanks for sharing. I also like how the coveted guy that came with the ring did the job for AJ in his first appearance lol. I would have done the same thing.

My Walmart is flooded with Elite 56. Still no Summerslam elite. No wonder why people are ordering online more and more. Many of my surrounding Walmarts took the reminants of the very late arriving Wrestlemania end caps and flooded the regular section with the left overs. Now everything seems to be at a standstill because the shelves and pegs are full. I think that is holding up the Summerslam stuff, newer Elites and newer Battle Packs. I wish more Walmarts would clearance the Wrestlemania stuff already like they did in previous years. It would have sold better if it actually arrived on time. You can't see it here, but the top shelf has about 18-20 more Wrestlemania Battle Packs. As you can see, Elite 54 Charlotte and the Wrestlemania Elites are holding the shelf down at this location. The only thing coming in are basics.

Frederick Area Update Saturday (7-21-18) Frederick Walmart on 85: Elite 56 Anderson (1) and Jack Gallagher (3). Battle Packs 49 & 50, basic 84. Lots of Monsters and just a couple of the Build-a-Finks. This store actually clearanced their remaining Wrestlemania stuff. I picked up another Beefcake for $7. I wish the other Walmarts would do this. Frederick Gamestop: Retrofest Macho Man and Shawn Michaels. Parts of Elite 60 & 59 Angle. I picked up the only Giant Machine, but it looks to be from the initial shipment without the running change of the longer singlet. I figure I'll just use this one for my Wrestlemania 2 Andre, and pick up another later with the longer singlet for Giant Machine. Frederick Walmart on 26: Elite 55 & 56, basic 83 & 84. Battle Packs 49 & 50. Monsters and Build-A-Finks. Lots of Wrestlemania figures and Battle Packs crammed in the normal section. Summerslam shipper appears to be selling well: Also: Frederick Target: Elite 54 Cena (2), and Charlotte (2). Elite 58 Ambrose (1). Hall of Champions Battle Packs 1 for $24.99. HOC Undertaker, Batista, and Eddie, 1 of each. NXT Rusev, Reigns, andd Roode. Battle Packs 51, and basic 83 & 84. I picked up a Tough Talker Ric Flair for $7.48. Frederick Kmart: Basic 77, Elite 53 Owens (2) and Big E (1). Battle Packs 45 (all of them surprisingly), and Entrance Greats Kurt Angle. Money in the Bank storage cases, etc.

Honestly, I don't mind street gear figures but the execution of this one is atrocious! I want a street gear Andre.

Here is this crime against humanity... Dunno why that had me rolling 😂 That Triple H reminds me of "The Duke of Dorchester" Pete Doherty for some reason.

Now here’s hoping Mattel will want to release a Hogan figure again. Remember even if the WWE reinstated him it’s not a lock that we’ll see any Hogan figures by Mattel. If Bill’s bosses don’t want to make one it won’t happen seeing Mattel still has a say in it because their company logo is still on the box. They already make figures for a bunch of guys with police records. If Mattel comes out and makes a statement that they're not making anymore Hogan figures then I am quitting. With that being said, bring on the Hogan figures, brother.

Call me jaded, but I'm not going to get my hopes up until I see some merch from WWE or Mattel announces a Hogan figure. Being reinstated doesn't necessarily mean he has signed a merch deal or any type performer or Legends contract. And there's still the chance that Mattel will decide not to make Hogan figures even if he is under contract. With that said, this sure would be one hell of a way to get collectors excited at SDCC. I hear what you are saying, but outside of merchandise (video games, figures, T-shirts, etc.) there isn't a whole lot else they can do with him. This has to be a no-brainer I'm hoping.

I picked up Michaels today. Looks like Macho is $25 now as well after I already bought him for $30 just a couple weeks ago.

Mt. Airy Gamestop Update Friday (7-13-18)The Mount Airy Gamestop received the Shawn Michaels Retrofest figures. It looks like they received 2 Michaels and 2 Savage figures. I purchased one of Michaels figures, so one remains. The condition of the packaging on the remaining Michaels is not great, but the 2 Macho figures have great packaging. It looks like they've dropped the price to $25 on both.

Mt. Airy Walmart Update Wednesday (7-11-18)The late arriving Wrestlemania 34 end cap is making a major impact on the Mt. Airy WWE section. Gone are the tags for store exclusive Flashback Elites. These pegs are filled to the brim (including a load on the top shelf) with Wrestlemania battle packs. The place on the shelf where Elites would reside is filled with 5 Charlotte figures which have been there for about 6 months, and the Wrestlemania 34 Elites. Outside of basics, there doesn't appear to be space for anything else anytime in the near future. Last year the Wrestlemania figures went to the clearance section for $5 and moved quickly. That is not the case this year. Still no Summerslam display at this store, but they do have a pretty decent selection of basics, which includes Ambrose, Becky Lynch, Dana Brooke, Naomi, Tye Dillinger, Kevin Owens, Rusev, Orton, Jericho, Balor and company. They re-ordered the Build-A-Fink Flashback basics a couple of times, so there are still some of those on the shelf. They sold well initially, but those same 4 figures have occupied 3 pegs for more than 6 months now. This appears to be very similar to the concerns with the TNF 2 Elites at Walmart last year.
