It's Walmart distabution centers (warehouses). Mattel ships to Walmart, Walmart ships to stores. Stores have to be nearly out of stock. So, they need to be almost out of stock of S1 to get a shipment of S2? Sucks for me, they just got a bunch of S1 last week and they're not moving. I thought someone said S1 was going to go clearance soon? Any truth to that? If they were clearance I may pick them up just to save and resell later. Someone on a Hasbro Facebook group said they work at Walmart and they would be 40% off this past weekend but I guess that was only on his area.(Louisiana) |

These look so cool in the original Hasbro ring. I really hope they bring out a ring for the Retro's, I'm pretty sure they will if they're selling well, maybe around Series 4 or 5. That would be awesome! If they want me to collect, they have to make a black "raw is war" ring with red ropes. Only then will I start collecting these new basics. |

All major retailers should be slashing old stock and begin their floor resets. I know Target did theis from August 1-3. |

I think that would look very cool, indeed. The colour would certainly match the style and colour of the new retros as they seem a little darker than the colourful look the Hasbro's had back then (reflecting the times, of course). Would this be completely in-line with the retro theme though? Given that the likes of the Warrior and Flair (if released) were nearing the end of their time before Raw came to the fore? I guess the majority of the line will have been around since then though. I for one will love it if they release 2-packs with managers etc. |

Guy in the Q and A said a ring is a real possibility, that and women. But no 2 packs. Where was this Q&A |

I looked at my MOC Series 1 and the UPC is the same as Series 2, but the SKU is different. But when I tried looking up the SKU it says it's invalid.

I honestly think I'm going to scoop up what's left of S1 on my way home this morning at my walmart. I don't think they're going to sell otherwise and I don't think they'll get S2 until S1 is gone. Is that probably the case?

Maybee I'll still grab the couple Warriors they have and 2 each of Cena and Brock since I don't have either of them. |

Definitely get any you don't have and Warrior and Undertaker will probably end up being the most valuable in years to come. I have the complete Series 1 MOC, plus 2 extra Undertakers and 3 extra Warriors MOC to put away to see what they're worth in 20 years. |

Yeah, stopped by, grabbed the 2 warriors they had, 2 Lesnars and a Cena which I had been passing on, but maybe I'll just look to buy them all for now and maybe later on sell the non-retro guys if I decide to. I guess it's better to nab them and end up deciding to ditch them later.

The Walmarts in my area have been out of Series 1 forever. Then again, when you don't get the entire line it's not hard to sell out.  I'm sure Canada will get screwed on Series 2 as well. |

All of my closest Wal-Mart stores have tons of Cena and Lesnars. Hoping to find the new series soon, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it, considering how plentiful the first series seemed to be around me.

Yeah, least all 6 are out at the start this time this round. Problem last time was Warrior and especially Taker were so hard to find with S1 because they weren't evenly distributed. My only concern this time would be that Rock and Austin having twice as many shipped as the other guys will start filling in shelves and the other 4 will be harder to find.

I think Sting and Kane will be the hardest to find. |
