I went out hunting today and I am seeing the same stuff everyday I go out, I have a loop where I hit 4 Wal*Marts, 3 Targets, 1 Toys R US, 2 K-marts, 10 stores total
I am just concerned that with Mattel being a fast mover in the industry and more and more stores having these shelf warmers these stores aren't going to be reordering new stock and we are going to miss out on certain series
I was just thinking this on the way home today thought I would post to see what others thought.
I have not seen any series 2 basics or two packs

With the exception on the Elite (Edge, Punk, MVP) they are pretty much moving around here. I know my area stores have restocked them a few times because I keep finding and buying 1/1000 Austins at the same store.

Well right after Christmas some people might be a little short on money. So that night have something to do with it. But my TRU & Walmarts are moving the Mattels out pretty fast. My Kmart wasn't but I think that's because the display was kinda hiding.

Mattels are being snapped up like crazy here. We've basically just been receiving stacks and stacks of heritage plus some elites and they all seem to be vanishing instantly.

Basic Series 1 of Batista and Triple H and 2-packs of Legacy are still on the pegs at my TRU and Walmart. The rest moved fast.
I only have one Walmart locally that got Basic Series 2 and that was only one case. Luckily, I was there when it was put out and got one of each that I wanted (with a 1/1000 Kane).
Someone just told me that they saw the new Flex Force with Evan Bourne in the same Walmart. I may get that one figure since I like the color scheme.

so far around me Jericho and Batista from Series 1 are shelf warmers
the HBK/Jericho two pack is a shelf warmer
The WM Heritage Orton and Edge are Shelf warmers
and Edge and MVP Elites are Shel warmers
oh and all the FleX Force

My Wal-Mart where I've been picking them up has already sold out of what was on the floor once and are about to do it again. I think it's great.

Basic series 1 - only saw them once,at a K-Mart...still kick myself for not picking up Bourne,as i figured he'd be sitting and could get him later...but they did have all 6
Basic Series 2 - saw once at Wal-Mart so far...all 6 figures,though the next day only Punk and Mysterio were left...
Elite Series 1 - all over..TRU,K-Mart,Wal-Mart,Target...Punk and Mysterio consistently sell out,but the other 3 sit...
WM Heritage - seen at Wal-Mart and Target...have seen all 6 figures between the stores,but never all 6 in ONE store...Batista and Taker seem to be the harder ones to find...
2-Packs Series 1 - seen at K-Mart,Wal-Mart,Target,and TRU....Santino and Beth is the only consistent seller...
2-Packs Series 2 - seen once,at th same K-Mart i saw Basic 1 at...never seen again,nor did they have the Horny/Finlay pack...
Flex Force - ALL are massive pegwarmers here, regular figures and accessory packs...

It must be because like I said around here I have 3 Targets, 2 WalMarts & a TRU I hit a few times a week. and only the 3 Elites I mentioned above can be found at all stores. I've yet to see any Basic singles or 2 Packs at one WalMart (I always seem to miss them there) The other WalMart always seems to have a new lone JakTel figure swap on the pegs. Although this Saturday they had the remains of the Heritage (1 Cena) and Basic 2 (4 Rey and 4 Punks)
TRU had restocked the Basic 1 & 2-packs 3 or 4 times and as of Saturday all that's left are those 3 Elites, 1 basic HHH and a FlexForce Undertaker. Even the 6-Packs went. They had about 30 + and only 4 or 5 were left.
And the 3 Targets have restocked at least once a week each. And all that's usually left by the end of the week are the Elites.

I think it's far too early to call anything a shelf warmer. The figures have barely been out a month. Less in most areas.
Most of the figures seem to be moving fairly quickly here... Not like hot cakes, but about average.

The only figures I haven't seen are the Wal-Mart belt set, EG HBK and the Hornswoggle 2-pack. As far as peg warmers Cena, Batista, all the Elites and the TRU belt set arn't moving. Flex Force stuff is moving well as Basics 2.

I have not seen any series 2 basics or two packs What the hell? You're worrying about pegwarmers because YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FIGURES NOT SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED UNTIL FEBRUARY??? Basic 2 and 2-Packs 2 are expected to be in-stores consistently in February. Any sightings being made now are early sightings. Obviously it will take a few weeks before the February releases are commonly found in stores. Mattel stuff is selling worlds better than the Jakks stuff ever did around here, so I wouldn't worry about shelfwarmers at this time.

Elite Edge is the only thing that is sitting at every store here, they all have a mix of inventory but walmart, kmart, meijer, and tru all had more then enough elite edge to go around. hoping its just cause he hasn't been on tv for a while.
