It probably doesn't help their cause that they provide the figures to online retailers on average 45-60 days in advance of the big box stores. But they don't. Their orders ship around the same time. And usually the BB stores take priority. The difference is RSC chooses to have their first shipment sent via Air freight...box stores have their shipped via cargo ships. Then they have to send it across the county by rail to all their distribution centers. The issue is the product sits at the various stores distribution centers until a store hits a certain number left in stock. With WalMart that number is 1 before they order more and once they order it then it takes the distribution center anywhere from 1-3 weeks to get it scheduled on a truck. So when someone goes and hides figures in their local WalMart thinking the store will order more it backfires because it's still listed in the stores inventory so the dist. Center won't ship more. |

Hey everyone will feel the pain of us Canadians! Preach on Brother!!! Seriously though, Walmarts in Canada stopped selling elites at like series 5, and even then it was only 2 figures per series. True I remember the last ones being Rey and Mark henry a couple years ago |

Hey everyone will feel the pain of us Canadians! I already do my fellow Mother Canucker. This title scared me. Not cool, I was so so upset for all of three seconds. Scared me too, because I thought the Line was done |

Why are these stores in America choosing not to sell them no more?
And why did Canada stop carrying them?

They could just discontinue the rumblers and powerslammers.

Toys aren't important to them anymore. Walmart was much better in the years they were trying to put TRU out of business. Who knows what goes on in Canada. |

In some places. My target has sets from e12 to e21. My toysrus carries sets from e8 from BAF to e22. My Walmart carries Basic 26 to e18 to e20. But my Wallgreens carries nothing.

I work at Wally World. We had a lot of DELETED/DISCONTINUED Elites when I first started working there and the line disappeared from the peg hooks. Then a month later they returned when we did a reset. You talked to a dummy.
