What sucks is Im checking Walmart & Target every day because they are empty... and Im dissappointed every time I leave. Everytime I get back into my car I catch myself saying in my head "Man F*CK WAL-MART!" lol. It's so annoying.
Im considering just ordering all my stuff online now.
Haven't gone yet today.

my walmart did their reset, allowing for 8 ft of Mattel WWE 3 weeks ago, and every night I go in, and they have absolutely ZERO on any of the pegs, and only a few of the belt packs on the shelves.

I have been reading this thread and it pretty much applied to my area. But I went to my local wal-marts today and they were finally done with inventory from after the holidays. They had completely re filled their entire figure aisles That had been completely bare since Christmas. They had full cases out of basic 1 and 2, elite 2, and 2 pack series 1. Plus plenty of belts and rings.

Okay, so sounds like a majority of people are in the same boat as me. It must just be that Mattel doesn't have anything made to send to these stores. Hopefully, that is a good sign and that we will all start seeing the new tag sets, basics, and elite VERY soon. Because I know I am getting really tired of checking the same stores everyday and not finding anything.

Yea I live in Michigan, and was just wondering the same thing for the last week or two. Finding elite 2's at target, but only like one of each figure. Basic 2 found at walmart and picked up rey, after that everytime I go back there they have the same 2 Koslovs and about 12 cm punks lol really waiting for the shelves to get stocked....my tru seems like a waste, never even seen series 2 basic or elite there...I think Kmart only did that great rollout because of the royal rumble promotion, I don't think we'll see much else going on there.

I just hope I dont miss out on Basic 2. I got most of them but only b/c I visited Florida. Havent seen them in NC yet. I need Kozlov & Rey. I feel like a broken record. lol.
Feels like it's already time for them to stock Basic 3. Know what I mean?

My walmart was wiped of all but flex force and a few basic takers. They had flex force over flowing. They never got elites. I need too get back too k-mart but must wait until the 3rd.

Hm... I have been reading this thread, because I noticed my two local Walmarts were looking thin in their selection. Well yesterday they went belly-up. Because I'm bored at work and full of coffee, here's a rundown from my area... Walmart #1: (Only carries Basic and FF) All of their Basic pegs were empty and they had moved the Flex Force w/ Accessory figures up to their Basic and 2-pack pegs to make room on the shelf for other stuff. So their whole Mattel section was Flex Force, rings, and belts. Walmart #2: (Carries everything) This one usually rocks. They got a case of Elite 2 at least 3 times. I've been able to get everything from them. They've had at least 2 cases of Basic 2. All of these flew off shelves until there were only like 10 Basic Punks and a Koslov, and a single Ted Dibiase with a paint smudge on his face. Well, yesterday even those were gone. Every single Punk. All they had was a Koslov and a Swagger that came out of nowhere. WM #2, as I said, usually keeps cases of the newest stuff from Mattel in stock, so I find it odd that they'd be so barren. My conclusion is the same as most of yours: perhaps demand is outpacing Mattel's supply at the moment. Good for them, bad for us - but I'm glad they're selling. Sorry for all that blah blah blah, but boredom + coffee = internet rambling.  |

I know a lot of the local retail stores in my area are doing resets and inventory right now so the pegs are pretty much down to nothing. Walmart just had FlexForce, Target had the little gray dots on the pegs and only had a lonely shawn Michaels on the shelf. Kmart is also resetting as well and TRU just finished theirs.

You know, my TRU here in Ontario seems fully stocked with Wrestlemania Heritage, 2-Packs Series 1, Undertaker from Elite 1, some Elite 2 and Basic 2, and some remaining Basic 1. The section is quite full, but it's mostly the same figures, and considering the prices here in Canada at TRU, I'm not surprised that there aren't many off the shelves at all. I wouldn't be surprised if I was the ONLY one who was desperate enough to pay that kind of money.

Yeah, I live in Fort Wayne, IN and I've been looking for specific figs to start my stop motion project...Mattel is definitely the superior brand I feel and I had bought over a 100 Jakks figures at one point...that said I have 4 Walmarts, 1 TRU, 1 Target, 3 Meijers, 1 Suncoast Video and 2 K-Marts, all of which usually carry figures to some degree and the majority of them have been COMPLETELY wiped out.
I got the Cena and Batista from the "intro" series or whatever you want to call it, Stone Cold, Finlay and Hornswoggle, Dibiase and Rhodes, Orton (Elite), Edge (Elite), Swagger, Kozlov and Evan Bourne. I know that seems like a lot but...I got those at the beginning of this month...I went on another hunt about 2 weeks later and these same stores were wiped CLEAN. I'm talking I walked in one of the Walmarts that had the Elite Series 2 and it was just...annihilated. Looked like a bomb went off just in the area of the WWE figures.
I've been wanting R-Truth, Rey (preferably Elite but basic would be tolerable), Henry and Big Show specifically so far...but they're IMPOSSIBLE to find in this area. That said I'm going out tomorrow since TRU restocked last night. Hoping to find some of them and maybe Basic 3 or the new PPV...it seems to be everywhere that it's wiped out though.
