Very disappointing news from Wal*Mart tonight

Found out from a worker tonight (thanks to the kind soul who posted UPC codes) that Basic 2 and Elite 2 are on order at my WalMart.

They finally stocked the Series 2 two packs, but I'm waiting on an updated Miz and a better Morrison - I don't care about Finlay and Swoggle either. The only Basic 1 figure still out is HHH, the rings are all gone, and the only Elite's left are MVP and one Edge and 'Taker.

wow that sucks, my walmart never carried new wwe jakks figure but now they keep stocking fresh sets of Mattel every week.

What is your location?

Here in Lexington, Elite and Basics move like hot cakes.. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho, Bourne, Cena, Edge, Orton, Kingston, is no where to be found.. Legacy warms the shelves.. MVP Elite, A couple Basics.. Entrance Greats.. Everyone besides Michaels.. And of course the infamous Flexforce..

I'm more worried about Elite and Basics.. I dont really care about any of the others.

But CM makes a great point about Wal-Mart.. The ones I go to still have a ton of Star Trek product.. X-Men Origins: Wolverine.. Including a few Terminator Salvations, and Transformers 2. Even a Brother Love Classic..

Mattel will learn what to do about their WWE product eventually, as time goes on.. It has only been like 1 month since the begining anyways.. I wanna see where they are in a year..

And Wal-Mart.. Well.. They may never learn; this overstock of old product has been going on as long as I can remember..

But HEY! They did have Carlito & Primo out in Hamburg..

Buying a large number at once could get pricey, but $15 isn't a lot of money.

Hot Toys at $150-$200 are expensive figures, lmao. Totally different products, but in comparison Mattel is WAAAAAY cheaper.

Dear Wal Mart,

Think something is too expensive in your store? You set your own prices.

Roll that sh*t back.

Sincerely,
The Collecting Public

same here

and i think the same will happen with the TNA and NWA lines
not because of the prices but because
the kids dont know NWA and WWE is bigger than TNA.

I think that the main buyer of these is the collector. A collector don't care to shell out 10-15 dollars for a figure. But the parent of a child is a lot less likely to pay that much. It would be crazy to see what would happen with these things with a simple 1.50-2.00 price drop. I think just that much would make a huge difference in the figures moving along.

the local wal mart here, series 1 is gone and they just restocked with 2 yesterday.

The Wal-Mart's around me all have various levels of Mattel product.

There's one not far from my house, which is where I found Basic Series 2, including 2 1/1000 Kane figures. They also have the basic rings, and had a few scattered Flex Force guys. This same Wal-Mart has also never had any Basic 1, 2 packs, or Elites.

A Wal-Mart close to my work has not stocked ANYTHING other than some Flex Force and Series 1 2 packs. The weird thing about this Wal-Mart is that every night they're putting palettes out to be unloaded, but they always seem to have the same stuff on them (Barbies, Hot Wheels, Transformers). I swear the people who work there stick the palettes out at night, never unload anything, and then go put them in the back room. My belief is furthered by the fact that I discovered the box of Series 1 2 packs almost 3 weeks ago, and the employee opened it for me. I didn't wind up buying anything out of it, and placed the Beth/Santino on the shelf. Up until this week, they hadn't even stocked the rest of that case, as the only thing on the shelf were the Beth/Santino pack I placed there and a RA 24.5 Paul Heyman.

There's another Wal-Mart that is a bit tucked away that I finally checked out, and they had the entire Heritage Series including Cena and Undertaker, as well as Elites and Basic 1, plus the Wal-Mart exclusive ring and the Basic Rings.

Every store around here seems to vary greatly. I found many UFC guys at the first one mentioned, while the one in the middle never had even one in stock.
