My Walmart NEVER clearances figures, ever. Recently, they had a spot for the TNF BATB 3 Pack on clearance for 24.97, but they never actually had any in stock... at all, even when it was out. Thought it very strange. They just got a TON of the Retro 1s in last weekend and the pegs and under shelves are literally over flowing with them. All still full price. Will keep an eye out if they cut the price to 2 bucks as I collect both MOC and loose and would love to have these mixed in with my loose Hasbros from when I was a kid. 2 bucks is a steal for those. Yeah, you can't go wrong with any wrestling figure for 2 bucks! Was it the full house of Series 1 for the Retro's? Did they have Owens and Reigns on the pegs, too? Sorry for the late response. Nah, they just have the other 4.

My local only had about 6 last week according to brickseek, then yesterday it jumped to 12. I popped in to find another case of series 1 😡 Was it a case with Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns or Ultimate Warrior and Undertaker?? Anyone find series 2 in Long Island??

Just saw a FB post in a Hasbro group claiming these were spotted today in both Arkansas and Fla. Got them in MO too, but was too late... only Rock and Austin.

I was able to snag everyone except Kane unfortunately. I am really impressed with Mankind's mask.

Have the Walmarts in that area sorted out their toy sections yet? As in, have they been re-done with the new stock now out or are they still waiting to do this?

Agreed...HHH is basically unable to do anything. His arms are so close together he cant be used to do anything for people that actually play with the figures.

My area Walmarts have done a floor reset, but I've only seem the new TNF elites at 2 of them and Hasbros at the 1, and I have 4 Walmarts altogether. Seen the basics set with Kane and Bayley, too. However, we are still stuck in the past with regular elites (47 or 47.b... the set with Goldust and The Rock).

Until they come out with a ring, who is really playing with these? As far as younger fans buying them, if they don't have a ring, or their dad doesn't have the old Hasbro ring, would there be much incentive to buy these until they come out with a ring? Just wondering. I hope one comes out though, maybe it would make more people interested in the line then too.

I'm on the look out for Owens and Reigns Retro's but it's getting more unlikely by the day now!

So anyone notice there WWE sections redone/moved at Walmart again recently? I was at my store around 6am today and the shipper had been pulled and sitting on a pallet across from the WWE aisle, having been replaced by other merchandise. No current spot marked for retros in the other spot in the aisle. Really hope it's a brief redesign and they're going back out wether in the shipper or on a new spot in the aisle.

Doesn't sound great, although, I'd be surprised if they don't bring them out again. From what I've seen, most stores were just throwing the Retro's on the bottom shelf anyway. Did you get a glimpse of any of the figures on the pallet?

The new Walmart sets are awful. Not just for the WWE figures, but for most of the other toys as well. There is no way that the person(s) that designed this set knows anything about toys. You can't put carded figures like the Retros, 2-packs or Mutants/Zombies on a bottom shelf. They need to be hung on a hook. I "modified" the POG at a couple of my stores last week, no one has changed them back yet. I made sure to get the Retros on a hook.

All retros are just scattered on the bottom shelf of 4 Walmarts in my area. Sad day for Retros.

It doesn't show much respect for the line but hopefully it's just because they're waiting for the next Series. What figures did you see there?
