At my store in PA they were scattered on the bottom shelf. Then when they did the reset they put them on a hook at the top of the shelf. As it stands now there is a full peg of Warrior figures and one Cena. However, there is an empty shelf labeled for the Retro figures right next to it-all they did to fill it was place one Warrior figure on it.....every time I go it's still empty. If they mark them down to 97 cents like the Nano Metalfigs I'll clear them all out and create a Warrior Nation display shrine or something lol......anything at this point to end this Retro Groundhog Day-esque nightmare lol...... Geez, well at least they have them on pegs at your store, better than over here. At least I have one store that seems to reorder if they drop to single digits. The other stores around here though don't seem to restock. The other close store has had 9 for at least a month now and I haven't seen any spikes. Unless they got them in and sold the entire shipment overnight before I had a chance to see it on brickseek. Which is very possible as I've bought up all of the S2 that came in at the store I pass on my way home, about 6 a.m. both times they came in. I'm only buying the retros, which had had 12 figures out so far, no idea how those who collect all the main lines deal with this distribution. I would just give up and pay the higher ebay prices. Yeah, glad to see at least that people are finding them in certain areas now. I can't see this going on till the end of October. I think by next month I should hopefully have some. And as an added bonus as I check-out if they could just line up the Walmart distribution center people:

Finally pick some up from my local Smyths this morning. Several Rocks & Austins, & couple of Warriors, on the pegs; online said they had 1 Mankind in stock so asked a staff member. She climbed to the shelf at the top of the rack, found him & then asked if there was any others I was after...so I said Kane (not that fussed on Sting & Trip, despite fighting my innate drive to collect them all!), she handed me a Kane too - despite it saying out of stock online. So walked out with Rock, Austin, Mankind & Kane. Result. My son will be well pleased...in 3 years time when he's old enough to play with action figures.

RSC added S2 for 12.99 which isn't too bad for those still looking.

Complete set of S2 ordered for only $11.69 per figure after shipping. I'll take that deal any day. Of course this means tomorrow one of my Walmarts will get them

Thank frickin' goodness. I'm tired of creeping at 4 different Walmarts, undressing pallets with my eyes. I HAVE THEM NOW, IT'S OVER.
Now, the wait for series 3 begins.

Finally I am able to get these. They probably shipped to them ringside due to all the Walmart stores not ordering them and Mattel is getting ready to start shipping Series 3 to stores.

Ringside definitely sold me on Series 3 now that they've gotten shipments of Series 2.
Placed an order for all 10 plus the Series 1 Undertaker I still needed and it only cost $12.25 per figure (with the WFIGS discount code). Great deal.

Just broke down and got them online. As a returning collector, I’ve enjoyed the hunt, but this has been ridiculous. $70 for 6 of them shipped is a home run at this point. I might continue to pop in my Walmart to see if and when the figures in store get discounted. I’ve seen mentions of retros cut all the way down to $2.50. Wouldn’t mind picking up a few to open.

RSC added S2 for 12.99 which isn't too bad for those still looking. ordered the complete set. with the wfigs code, it brought it down to $62.99 for the set. That's $10.49 per figure. I paid shipping and this nightmare is finally over. series 2 & 3 are both coming from Ringside. Get your distribution sorted, Mattel

And uh btw, Walmart: Watch Walmart madstocks the shelves with $9.97 S2 this week lol That's how it usually works. You can't find it anywhere so you buy it on the internet for more. Then the next time you go to the store it's everywhere.

Then the next time you go to the store it's everywhere. Yep. It's like the deadbeat dad. He does crap for his kid, but HATES it when the stepdad comes in and gives nices things to the kid - causes the delinquent daddy to become father of the year for a week out of spite. Yes, I'm a stepfather lol
