I mean like which stores really came threw for you this season? & what did you find there?
I'm gonna have to say in my areaToys R Us really Nailed It! They had boppv2, boppv3, e16,17,18. Bo12, wm28 basics, b22, b24
K Mart was good too, lots of E15,16, 17, & the BP17, b22,b23.
Target & Walmart in my area really dropped the ball.

Wish I had some , Canada has had really poor distribution, and even worse Im in Northern Ontario so I have even worse Luck. I could Find a few basics and lots of Flexforce if I were to look for them.

TRU and Walmart as always, Target sucks and KMart, considering it is WWE headquarters, didn't get much often.

Target was easily the worst. In my area they got a lot of B23 but that's about all I saw. Most Targets didn't get new elites because of too many e12 Ortons and holiday shoppers did not clear him from the pegs.

Most Targets didn't get new elites because of too many e12 Ortons and holiday shoppers did not clear him from the pegs. I know they addressed the Orton situation. Thats why they shortpacked him recently. But does Mattel even realize how much damage that one figure did?? My Target had boatloads of Elite 12 Ortons......rotting....wilting....withering away for months. I mean like 4-5 months straight. That Target never recovered. They don't even sell ELites/Basics/BP's there anymore. They replaced the whole WWE section with just Flex-Force and rumblers now. |

All my WM's have been pretty good. My Targets and TRU looks like the WWE aisle should be condemned. Empty pegs galore.

Do you think maybe it's a regional thing and not a store thing like target and Walmart are sucking in my area but Have been good in other areas meanwhile my Toys "R" Us has been awesome but other people have nothing at their Toys "R" Us?

I've asked that before and nobody seemed to have a definitive answer. I think it is totally up to the store and doing fill ins, or lack of. Because one of my Targets blew basic 23 out of the water, esp when they ran the 7.99 sale, and they haven't got a shipment in since. There hasn't been an Elite figure there for over a month. And my other Target across town has had one E12 Orton forever.
My TRU never had E16,17, or 18. I found those at Walmart and Meijer thank god. They must have had a little taste of BAF Johnny because I got sin cara there and it was the last one. It's been BAF table and cole HQ.

walmart - primo/epico
target - nothing
tru - nothing (too many scalpers in my area)
kmart - elite 16 slater (which i sold the figure, just wanted the ladder)
my area has been horribly stocked this holiday season, i don't know if it stores managers not caring to order WWE, or what
but i work at a subway inside of walmart so i checked there everyday after i got off and nothing ever new really and the past 2+ weeks there have been so many empty pegs, and all the walmart employees do instead of re-stocking is just put 1 figure per peg so it doesn't look as empty.
it always annoys me so i go back and put them all on 1 peg so maybe they'll notice how empty it is, but then next time i go back its just the same, moved around instead of restocking

I almost grabbed primo/epico yesterday at my WM. I'm not huge fans of them but they are unique and come with the tag belts. I did finally grab Booker T at WM a couple weeks ago.

TRU, Walmart, K-Mart, and Target are usually good for me only around this time.

I found Diesel at Kmart after months of searching, so I guess I would say there.
The Walmarts around here looked good for a few weeks, but once everything sold they never really restocked. I was able to grab an Alicia Fox off one of the shippers they had last month.
The only thing my local TRU has had this holiday season is the BOPPV exclusives.
Target has been absolutely useless as usual. I don't think they have had more than 5 figures on the shelf the last two months. They didn't even stock the WWE section for Black Friday. I was there when they opened and they had 3 Elites and 1 Basic figure on the shelf.

I found everything I was looking for between TRU (exclusives & e16, e17 + various Basic) and Target (e16-e18)

Wal-Mart came through (no TRU in my town unfortunately) except I did find AJ at Target a few weeks ago from the one case they got. That entire case sold out pretty quick and they got in several cases of B23 - 2 weeks after our Walmarts had displays with those figures in them, so they will be sitting a while at Target. Meanwhile at Wal-Mart this season I got E17 Mankind and Kelly Kelly, B23 Fox and Hunico, and even found B22 Booker T at my Big Lots.
Hoping that KMart has a New Year's Cube with E18 (or E19 would be great) and B25

TRU was best in my area this season. They restocked elite 18 a few times and I was able to get the entire BOPPV set in one visit. What is strange is that I have two TRU stores near me, and the other one only had elite ten and Legends two packs collecting dust.

I would say Toys R Us mostly, just because of the quantity that came from there cause of the sales.
I would definitely say this has been the best season for WWE Mattel, they really were on top of it this season, and year really! All my stuff stays MOC by the way.
Purchases
Toys R Us- Complete Build Johnny Ace figure, E18 Cara, Barrett, Mysterio, and Basic AJ
Wal-Mart- Primo/Epico 2 Pack
Target- E16 Rock
Meijer- E18 Brodus Clay
Kohls- Basic 21 Beth Pheonix (already had one but package was a bit damaged so needed a replacement) *** Which by the way Kohls raised their prices on the basics to $14.99
RSC- Complete set of E19 and NWO Macho Man
