haha at everyone crapping them self from the title. Imagine if they did stop making elites? basics with accessories/full colour tattoos/ less of the big names making into a series? naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah it would be more cenas! one for everyday of the week wooooooo! Haha, but the articulation would suck.

here's a question : do you think this COULD affect the future of Elite's,though? especially if a decent number of Wal-Mart's and Target's drop them? i mean there's still K-Mart and TRU,but distribution/stocking at those stores seems spotty at best...

Nope. They aren't being dropped. Not all WalMarts carry Elites. My WalMart only carries elites during the holidays then drops them with their next reset.
As for pegwarmers of guys like Cena, Rey, Orton etc...they are not an issue because they are who the retailers want on their pegs. Because... 1. They know there will always be someone wanting their first Cena/Rey/Orton daily. 2. They keep stock on shelves until the next series is released. 3. And retailers know that in the long run 50 Cena figures will sellout faster than 50 divas and or low/mid-carders.

I know the "D" at Walmart doesn't mean discontinued.... It means death! Every Walmart I've been to had carried Elites.... They might skip a set, but they carried them. It is alarming that a sales associate had said what she said especially close to holiday season.

Seeing as elites are among the top sold items in retail stores OVERALL..discontinuing them in an Wal,K or Target is just idiotic managment. Nothing more nothing less

I'm experiencing this at a few local Walmarts; I hate this decision. The Walmarts who I noticed removing them are all 24 hour ones and the one that has an open and close times still carries them. They always sell well, but I have heard parents complained to their kids before about picking out such an expensive type of figure before.

Then the next Elite Fandago would save money in another series for the next new figure, ETC. ETC.

Title is so misleading. Someone posted this before about Walmart not carrying elites, seems weird as my grocery stores carry basic series 15 John cena. I've seen multiple Rite Aids still carrying Basic 6 Big Show.

If there is any truth to this - which I'm not convinced that there is.... it's terrible news, and the ones to blame would be Mattel. Their poor distribution practices and long periods between new waves have left the Elite pegs empty more often than not. If Mattel is not able to provide enough figures fast enough to meet the demand, they frustrate the retailers with the constant lack of product.
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.... many of us are just fed up with hunting for them at retail and don't even try anymore.
