Anyone want about 12 cases of Mutants/Zombies? I can hook you up. Ive yet to see one sold MUTANTs besides Cena and Finn I will agree with you, but the newest set of zombies seems to be doing pretty good.

The set in general was pretty bad. They all warmed hard, only one that I haven't seen was Macho Man.

They sell pretty good here, there might be one or 2 on the shelf left.
The hasbro knockoffs are what are clogging the shelves here, also the mutants and zombie figures.

I was at WalMart this morning and there were 3 Sami, 2 Macho and an Earthquake or Typhoon on the pegs. They also restocked the Retro figures but it was the series 1 refresher case.

They would sell just fine here if people didn't keep taking the belts. This seems to be the largest issue in my area. The only Walmart close to me has had remnants of elite 51, which is good, but also always has at least 1 set of Earthquake and Typhoon with ripped open packages missing the belts. About a week ago, I got an itch to actively go looking for the current TNF wave and went slightly rabid for that Rollins. Relatively current attire + finally got that sexy fuzzy chest = couldn't handle it. Went a few hours out of the way a couple of cities over on my day off. Not my proudest week; sorry to the other people in my life at that time, haha! No Rollins, but surprisingly I actually found Gable. The figure I wanted least from the wave, but at least something new! I grabbed it and flitted around the toy area for a while, making sure the others weren't displaced somewhere or with some unsuspecting kid/mom that I would need to swindle. Took me a few minutes to think, "oh hell, I better check and make sure he actually has the dang title still." Thankfully it was intact. TL;DR: Checking Walmarts for the new stuff but just finding stolen crap is disheartening, indeed.

I dont see too many cenas rotting shelves for years at a time. But there are plenty macho man, sting, finn balor, hbk, y2j, bret harts and when able to make them, hogans. Many better options than earthquake and typhoon. Where are you located because that sounds like a gold mine compared to the wasteland where I currently reside. No sorry. I guess i didnt hit enter. I was just saying you could make 100 different of them instead of fat s like the natural disasters

I think they are the last to go out of this set with Macho going first followed by Zayn. I would say they are warming yet. If they are still there in a few months then they're gonna start sweating in their bubbles.

They are all over missouri... some places still have the elite 38 one. I did plan on getting them, but there's been so many releases since then that the only way I'd pick them up is on clearance.

Walmarts around me all have them still but not too many at least. I have hope.

In my area, they sold fairly well until Walmart did a restock and doubled the original amount at the same price. They stopped moving. Even the rare Macho Man is relatively easy to find now because the demand is no longer there. Same thing happened with their Marvel Hasbro exclusives.

Exactly this:
I live in a small town of about 9,000 people. TNF 2 arrived in early January, and they sold very well early. Now it is August, and everyone who was ever going to buy these 4 figures already did. The peg empties, and instead of getting different figures, it is the same 4 over and over and over until they just sit there. This is the problem in areas like mine. Not enough variety, same old stock over and over, now going on 8 months.
Walmarts in small towns like mine have no doubt devastated their sales with this practice. We have the same problem with TNF basics and all of the Battle Packs.
Small towns (with a Walmart) cannot move 700 Vaudevillian Battle Packs, no matter how many times they re-order. Same with TNF Earthquake, Typhoon, Zayn, and even Macho.
We need more variety a little sooner.
