So wasted 2 hours of my morning trying to find these. Can anyone explain to me why in this day and age we can't buy this stuff online at retail price??? I mean you can buy anything else and most toys too, but not WWE figures. I just don't get it. Why would it be so complicated for retailers or Mattel to directly do websales? Cut out all the headaches and wasted time, put more money in their pockets and cut out the scalpers. It's so hard to even call around and see what stores have either since there are so many different damn lines. I ran to a Walmart today because they told me on the phone they had the Warrior retro figure, turns out they were bare. She probably just saw the Warrior from some other line (don't know anything about the other lineups, but he looked to be in something similar to the WM6 attire). The biggest mistake is having Walmart carry Mattel wrestling figures at all and on top of it, for them to carry exclusive lines. Walmart has the most non giving a crap employees ever. Why Mattel decided to give this crap store lines like tnf and the retro lines that people woulld love, is a dumb move on mattels part. Look, if a store can't push out your product to sell, in which keeps Mattel in business.. don't do business with Walmart. Walmart will be fine no matter what, but Mattel really needs to move its business elsewhere. Walmart asked for exclusives. When a retail chain wants that..means more $$$ for the toy company. Walmart blows and i agree that their employee suck, but mattel said stores are hot for exclusives.

Only plus is I pass one on my way in and out of work every day and they're 24 hours so I can stop at 6 am after work. I'm waiting for them to start going out of business, Target is so many levels better, only downer is they're not 24 hrs.

We can continue to do business otherwise and leave it at that. Walgreens, a corner store drug store that's what? 1/10th the size of a Walmart in dimensions has better standards for when it comes to stocking store shelves and making sure it's exclusives get sold. Walmart is the biggest shithole.

Walmart is the biggest craphole. Walmart is one of Mattel's biggest customers. Saying no means Walmart could potentially boycot Mattel with all other products like Barbie and Hot Wheels.

Walmart is the biggest craphole. Doesnt matter what local stores may look like, walmart is probably the biggest seller of wwe mattel figures. As i said, i hate the place..but to tell the largest retailer no, would really hurt them. Ive now seen all walmart exclusives, in multiple stores. So they are getting better, they just need to make sure store associates keep up on their jobs.

Went to the 2 Wal-Marts in town today looking for these. Neither had them out yet. Went ahead and got Reigns and Cena because I didn't want to leave empty handed lol. Already had Brock and Kevin Owens. Looks like I'll be collecting this line in it's entirety. I just hope they sell well enough to keep making new waves of them.

Wrestling Shop using DAZE promo code came to £50.40 for the four. So actually £12.60 each. Looks like they only have Cena? Everyone else isn't available yet. Everything else sold out. I have Warrior, Taker, Brock and Cena with me now.

I used the tracker this morning and saw that Airmont NY and Monroe NY both got 2 cases (16 pieces) in overnight. So I drove up to Monroe and got one of each.

The Target Tracker thread. Go to Brick seeker's homepage and there's other store options with Walmart being one of the options. Click on Walmart box and it will ask you for the SKU. Type it in like you would the DPCI for Target. And if you don't have the SKU there is a search box above the SKU box that if you type in WWE Retro it will give you the SKU for each figure. brickseek.com/walmart-inventory-checker/

So I contacted Smyths in the U.K. To ask if they'll be stocking the retros, as someone said they weren't; this was their reply:
"Thank you for your email.
Sincere apologies but we have no plans at this point in time to stock these. Please keep an eye on our website for stock updates.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us."
So not looking too good for those of us in the UK; waiting to hear back from tru.
