Go to Target or Toys R Us instead.

my Walmart has one Santino left and the Elites were marked down to 11.00 and they moved the WWE section across from where it used to be and there's no spot for Elites in the new section but there was a new spot for talking Flexforce which they had tons of so chances are SOME Walmarts won't be carrying them anymore, I usually don't buy Elites at Walmart anyways I get them usually at Target or order them online

k i guess they just havent been selling well.. That has notihing to do with it. WalMart said last year they felt their stores looked too cluttered so they decided to cut the toys, crafts and one other department in half to open up the look of the stores. They said they will gradually do it to all their stores. My local Super WalMart did this back in Feb. and hasn't carried any WWE other than FelxForce and kid sized belts. They had also dropped Mattel's DCUC, DCIH, Batman BatB lines from my local store.

There was already a couple threads on this. Some Walmart's are downsizing the WWE section with the new toy isle reset. It varies between each store but a lot of them are getting rid of Elite and Entrance Greats among other things like the toy belts, rings, tough talkers etc.

It's not that big of a deal. I am gonna start going more to Target, TRU, K-Mart, and some other stores. I'm kinda glad they're getting rid of them, because $11 for an Elite is great. I can always go to other stores!

So you thought you should come and whine on here? Congratulations! Wow people really need to learn to deal with them not having the very best and updated stuff.

k i guess they just havent been selling well.. Actually that's not true cuz I work there and I'm the one that buys them all the time and what evers left over sells out quick too. There's actually no reason why which is dumb. It was easier for me because I was able to check the shipments. Just frustrating especially since they made more room fior transformers which don't sell att all.

Did they cut those departments in half to open up the store like they did at my area stores?

Not sure exactly what you mean but they shrunk some areasand expanded some areas and took down a good portion of a department and slowly filled in the gaps and rearanged and switched out shelves and such, its a frustrating process, I never hated my store more.

WlaMart said they would cut certain departments in half to open their stores up more because they felt they were too cluttered. At my area Super WalMart at the end of Jan they cut the Toy dept, Craft dept in half. The toy dept used to be huge. There used to be 2 full aisles each for - Boys toys, Girls toys, infant/toddeler toys with 1 aisle for games and 1 aisle for puzzles/Stuffed animals/army men/etc. Now it's 1 aisle for boys toys, 1 aisle for girls toys, 1 aisle for Infant/Toddlers toys along with games/Puzzels.
So in my area store the toy dept went from 8 aisles down to 3 aisles. And the craft dept was also cut by 75%. I'm nut sure what other dept was cut but the store is much more open now.

My closest WalMart is also no longer carrying Elites. Just got back from there, they had their new setup. Pretty disappointing considering that store is like 2 minutes from my house.
