I bought what was left of series 1 to clear out the stock and a few days later they had series 2. Now I can start returning the series 1 figures.

Nothing like seeing pictures of Series 6 figures when you still can’t find figures from Series 2...

Can't find series 2 anywhere, but series 3 should be at my door tomorrow. Now I see protos of a bunch more coming. I guess these aren't Wal Mart exclusives anymore? Anyone know the deal since series 3 is on Ringside and the others were at Wally.

Out of interest, is it just Cena, Warrior and Taker from series 1 clogging-up the aisles of Walmart? I guess Reigns and Owens are long gone, but are there still some Lesnars around?

It's all Warrior and Cena at my store, but luckily there's only 7 there yet. I'm the sucker that bought up most of them when S1 shippers came in hoping S2 would come, and then we got another box of S1. They did get a box of S2 last week, and myself and another board member both showed up to get them at 6 am lol. I'm thinking of buying up the ones they still have so hopefully 2 boxes come in next time, but it does concern me that they still don't even have a spot or even a tag for them in the WWE section.
That's my closest store that I pass everyday. The other 2 in my area did have some Lesnars and maybe a Taker here and there. But no Owens or Reigns around here at all.

At one time there was a thought that the Retro Taker might be worth something MOC 20 years down the road. This was obviously a miscalculation, right?
I have two each of Reigns/Owens..one loose, one MOC. At this point I'd guess those two will be the ones that might gain some value?

For those that didn't see, and to answer my own question about "series 6" a couple days ago. Yesterday Ringside Collectibles posted a bunch of new pics on their FB and Twitter of upcoming releases. I didn't dig deep enough on their website to see if they're on there as well. Here is the list. Forgive some of the spelling, I don't know some of these current wrestlers very well.
- New ring? (This isn't confirmed, but several figures are in a new retro style ring in the photos.) - NWO Wolfpac Sting - Undertaker with white gloves, white stirrups, and white tie with black stripes - Chris Jericho (more recent, wearing a scarf) - New Day (all three) - Shinsuke Nakamura - Bray Wyatt - Daniel Bryan - Ric Flair - Sammy Zayn - (Deamon) Finn Balor - Enzo Amore
Injecting my opinion, I would rather see more figures covering the Attitude era like Series 2. NWO, DX, Booker T, Diesel, and other big names from back then. Then sprinkle in some of the current guys into each series.

Yeah, same here, this news is a HUGE disappointment. Only ones I'm interested in out of that huge slew were Flair, Sting and Taker. And then even Taker and Sting are just repaints. There should be a higher ratio of legends in this line than what's currently coming up.

Thanks; seems like much the same situation as here in the UK with the remainders from series one, but luckily series two seems to breaking through across the country regardless. Really no excuse why some of you in the US are still having to wait for them

I'm thinking about using Austin's legs and Brock's toros/arms for a Goldberg. I would. I wonder how hard these are to crack open compared to the old Hasbros. Not too hard at all. Easier than an Elite honestly. Unfortunately, the Brock and Austin use different parts to connect the legs and torso due to the clothesline action on Austin. Gonna take some work to get them to fit together.

I hope you get it to work. Post pics if/when you do. I wanna customize a Goldberg too. Got mine in the mail today. Looks like an 80 year old man in a swim suit.

All the stores around me are still packed with Warrior and Cena. With all the warriors left everywhere and him already released three times by Hasbro he was a poor choice. Diesel should have been made first since he is in demand and one of the main figures missing from the Hasbro line.
Also looking at the date of the first findings of Series 2 they should be all over every store by now.

I'm so glad starting with series 3 we can buy these figures in all stores because Walmart is terrible, hands down the worst store.

Pretty pathetic job by Walmart and or Mattel.
I have been visiting at least 1 Walmart a day for the last 2 months.
I can't express how truly frustrated I am. I am totally P'od. I found the remnants of 1 case of series 2 (2 SCSA, 1 Rock) at a Walmart in central NJ, ONCE. I frequent about 4-5 in Pa and about 6 in NJ. What's is the issue here? stocking? ordering? Distribution?
For me to have only found what appears to be 1 single solitary case in a 60 mile radius 2-3 months after release is RIDICULOUS!
I wish the line long term success as I am a Hasbro lover for life, but please no more Walmart exclusives.

Ordered a full set of these online in the UK only for the delivery to be stolen from outside of my house. Apparently left in a "safe place". No surprise it was a Hermes delivery. Absolutely shocking service.
