Walmart Porter Ranch - Well Walmart never fails to be Walmart. Still have like 6 RA JBL. They also had 2 Edge and 1 Rock. Tons of Top Picks Roman and Jimmy Uso, about six Elite 100 Becky, a bunch of Basic Sasha Banks and Big E, and some Superstars Macho, Typhoon, and Rock. I'm not paying $22.99 for those. Also if you listened to CM Punk after AEW Collision last night he was not wrong about Hangman Page being a pegwarmer. There were like six of his figure still sitting there. They need to clearance those out, although if they do the AEW pegs will be empty. I haven't seen any new AEW in a long time. Still trying to hunt down Bischoff and Torrie. That's the only reason I go to Walmart. Also they have zero Ultimate Edition's at Wally. I ran into the Mattel rep while there and he said yeah they didn't get the shipper and I said yeah the local stores all suck and never get shippers or anything. also wonder how they end up with so many JBL's while having not much else. Oh well the usual Walmart story. They had most of the same stuff at the Burbank Walmart. I haven't seen a Sasha fig in a long time anywhere so I'm surprised that's there. Didn't realize that the superstars we're $23. I just assumed that they were $15 or $20. I also see hangman everywhere. They had ultimate razor and aj here. I've talked to a Mattel rep before and they seemed uninterested and not very knowledgeable. The reason for so many jbls I'm assuming they got 2 cases & he was heavily packed & the others not so much. So everyone got what they wanted aka probably the lone torrie. The jbl fig is fugly. They should have rereleased his regular version since their rereleasing everything

Oh well the usual Walmart story. I love that you got to tell that to the Mattel rep there. Did he have any comment? Did he care? Walmart is ... Walmart
He seemed to care, but he admitted to not being that up on the wrestling products as he was some of the other brands. He couldn't really offer much insight.

Not sure why they would pack him so heavily though. I get that the Bloodline is hot, but those stores aren't going to sell through that amount of Uso and Roman when they keep releasing those guys over and over. Well I'll continue to hope for a Bichoff and Torrie without overpaying, otherwise I'll just pass. I am passing on a lot lately including Legends which I am a fan of but knowing they are all getting clearanced when the next set is due makes me wait. Plus prices keep going up.

Nothing to be found around here it seems. Took a trip out to Simi Valley. Walmart still has Elite 97. They had some basics and only one or two old AEW figures. Nothing exclusive from WWE or AEW. Not a single thing of interest. Target has the AEW Adam Cole half price as well as some sale priced Kama Mustafa and Brother Love figures. That's pretty much it.

Burlington Granada Hills has a bunch of Superstars Hollywood Hogan for $6 each. If they get some of the others I would be interested. I already had this one.
Targets in the area have the AEW Samoa Joe exclusive with the tiny baby hands lol. Also some of the new legends have shown up.

Checked the local Targets this weekend for Legends Greatest Hits but nothing so far. Anyone finding anything. Between the three Northridge/Granda Hills stores there isn't anything new. When's the last time any regular new Elite series showed up? Still a mix of normal Legends, random older Elite figures, and a couple older AEW figures. I did see Legends UE Rock but that's about it.

Found the Legends Greatest Hits sidecap shipper at Topanga Target. I took one Bulldog. There was also one Warrior gone, but the rest is still full.

Lots of Walmart LJN Cody figures at Burlington in Granada Hills.
Saw one random AEW the Blade figure at Target in Granada Hills. I passed on it for now. Box was kind of messed up and they didn't have anyone else. Plenty of current WWE Legends series and some of the Greatest Hits Legends as well. They also had one Elite Rick Steiner and Solo Sikoa. I'm waiting on the next Solo release with the bigger torso.

Hasn't been much to report lately. I did finally see an LJN style CM Punk at Target Topanga last week. Also same store found a Royal Rumble Ridge Holland today which I picked up. WWE figures are on sale right now so it was $18 and change.

Walmart Porter Ranch - Plenty of exclusive AEW Eddie Kingston and a few Jericho's. One CM Punk Supreme only it turned out to be a figure swap so really it was a Wade Barrett figure in the box. A few WWE Superstars Roddy Piper figures and one Macho Man. Also some Elite AJ Styles in the red tights. Forgot which series it was.
Target Granada Hills - Elite Greatest Hits Harley, DDP, Batista. Also Royal Rumble Ridge Holland and Beth Phoenix. AEW Hook and Thunder Rosa.

I'm so sick of this figure swapping and returning bullsh*t. They just did the reset on the figures today at Topanga Target. They had one each of Legends 21 Hulk and Andre and Sheik. Except Sheik was a return and not from store stock. The box had terrible tape on the side and inside was a Col. Mustafa figure. There was also one Hulkamania set as well. The other day same store had an Elite Solo Sikoa, but it was an NXT Kevin Owens in the box. I really hate finding this stuff.

Walmart West Hills - Pegs full, but all stuff no one wants. 8 RA JBL figures, 8 Charlotte Flair Basic 122, plenty of Top Picks Roman Reigns, AEW Eddie Kingston, Chris Jericho, and Hangman Page figures. Some other miscellaneous. Still no new regular Elite series figures anywhere around here. I see people finding Elite 106 at Walmarts and I haven't even seen 105 anywhere. Trying to find Scott Steiner and some others.

Target Topanga - WrestleMania Elites McAfee, Trish, Cena one of each. No Rock. I just bought a McAfee off Amazon this week so didn't need it. Still haven't seen any new regular series Elites in a long time anywhere. I ended up ordering some from Ringside and Entertainment Earth because they seem to be getting harder to find. Ringside doesn't even seem to be restocking recent stuff from Elite 105 and 106.
