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. Edge figures were never really big sellers, but I do think that his past "history" as a seller combined with being off since the summer has hurt him. It's a shame too, since that is an awesome figure. Looking at the case breakdowns, it appears Mattel "gets it" as far as how figures are going to sell. That's why we only got 1 Kozlov and 1 Swagger per case of Series 2. Mysterio and CM Punk are hot sellers and two of the top 5 guys on Smackdown (other than Taker, Jericho and Batista) and they expect them to sell well, hence why they're 3 per case. |

I predict Kozlovs destiny will be similar to Best of 2008 Ric Flair.

K-Mart has really picked up on getting WWE figures, before with Jakks it was just a few things here or there, but now with Mattel, they have EG, Flex Force, the rings, Heritage and belts.
TRU is still trying to get rid of 2 packs series 1, there's a bunch of them. And the MVP Elite has been there since last year.

TRU is still trying to get rid of 2 packs series 1, there's a bunch of them. And the MVP Elite has been there since last year. Oddly enough, my local K-Mart seems to have stumbled across a leftover stash of JAKKS figures, and have many of the current figures still stocked. They have almost all of Classic 27 in stock, ECW Series 5 Bourne, Finlay and Kidd, about 4 Classic 13 Rick Martels, a Classic 13 Mr. Perfect (black attire), the Adrenaline set with Jesse/Festus, Santino/Maria and Miz/Morrison, and the recent Deluxe Series Christian, Orton and Swagger. Combine that with Mattel, where they have a few Legacy and Michaels/Jericho 2 packs, a Cena, 2 Batistas, and a Triple H. No Elites, 2 or 3 Rey Superstar Matchups, and a couple of rings. This was as of last Thursday morning when I stopped by there. |

In TRU, I seen all of the Flex Force 1, Basics series 1 except Bourne, Heratage 1, and Elite 1 Taker (this is in Canada so it's just him and Mysterio I guess.) Not sure how long they were there, but I plan on starting my Mattel collection this week. I guess I will see if these fly away, but in Wal-Mart, they only had some of the Flex Force ones.

the 3 walmarts near me all have flex force by the bundles, one has only 3 basics left, the other have 6-7, then the last one is LOADED with basic 1 and heritage series.... none have basic 2 yet... but like the post said... i wonder the wal-mart that is still loaded with one will even stock series 2???

I think the reason the Elite MVP is appearing to be a shelfwarmer at TRU is they're coming 2 to a case. That might be the reason some of the figs seem to last longer than others. But it's way too early to call any of them top quality shelfwarmers like Mr. Kennedy or the Gymini.

The repaint series is the only shelfwarmer I've noticed, as my local TRUs are flooded with them, but no basic series.

yeah i've found that they are moving well with the exception of the repaint wave of tista, cena, jericho and michaels. I find them at every store I go to, but I'm caught up on everything I want except basic 2 henry..suprisingly ive seen a good amount of basic 2 punks

For basic series 2, it looks like CM Punk is going to be the shelf warmer from what I've seen. Both of the Wal-Marts that I originally found basic series 2 at (Amherst and Hudson, NH) still have at least 2 CM Punks each, while the other figures from that wave have all sold out. Unfortunately, both of those Wal-Marts have put out cases of basic series 1 instead of more of series 2, so it looks like I won't be finding much more there for awhile, though I did find a 1/1000 Kane in Salem tonight.

To be honest, none of the Mattel figs are not selling well around here. Could be the price. I'm not sure. But they have had them for two or three weeks at the Wal Mart here and they have sold very few of them.
