All I know Is TNF series 3 has been out for almost a month and it has yet to hit my area, I made countless trips to several Walmarts in my area and never found the figures, even had a more than nice Walmart employee check for me in the back. So I went on ebay and got my figures. I'd buy on eBay too if the sellers weren't all asking for 50 shipped when it comes to Rollins and 40 for AA individually.

I agree about the restocking. Every figure in the wave was hard to find in Maryland months ago, but it seemed like every Wal-Mart restocked the set multiple times now. Weird to restock the old series when a new one is now available.

Anyone want about 12 cases of Mutants/Zombies? I can hook you up. Ive yet to see one sold I worked at a Meijer. we eventually clearanced out Zombies series 1 at less than $1 each. the only one who didn't meet this fate was Bray Wyatt, who moved shockingly well for some reason

The thing that sucks is that all but one Quake has had the title belts taken, and the packages torn up. They are still charging full price for them though. If they'd drop the price, I'd probably get them, as don't really need the belts. But I don't want to pay full price for an incomplete figure just out of principle. I went to a TRU and purchased a 123 Kid who was missing the title. I brought it to their attention and offered to buy it at a discount. They cut the price in half for me. Elite Kid for $10 sans the title. All I had to do was ask. Maybe they have more wiggle room to adjust the prices for customers, though.

These are store exclusives, specific to Walmart. I first found these on February 7 of this year. Here it is, nearly seven months later and Walmart is still ordering them. Why are they "warming" you ask? Not because of necessarily who they are, but because Mattel has yet to offer a new assortment to replace these. These exclusives are intended to supplement the main waves, but what we've seen from the HOF in Target, TNF in Walmart and NS in Toysrus, Elites vanish, are not replenished, and these get ordered the way Elites should Game. Set. Match. End of Thread and all store exclusive threads...

But death doesnt make you all of a sudden an important piece of wwe history Dude now you are just being a dick, dial it back some. You obviously didn't watch at the time, he had a tremendous feud with Hulk Hogan, drew so well that they went back to towns two and three times. They ran that as the house show main events from Spring 90 all the way to Spring 91 up until mania 7. He may not have been important to you, but I know many people that have him as one of the greatest big men of all time.

I thought of that, I just don't want to deal with most of Walmart's customer service. They don't know or care about what's going on, and don't seem to want to help unless it's a straight exchange with a receipt and all. I still might try it at some point, but I wish they would just notice they're ripped up and mark them down like they do other things. It would save me some trouble.

Pardon me, any wrestler that was a house show main eventer was clearly an all timer. Im not doing this back and forth anymore. Back on subject. They shouldnt have put both those figures in the same line at the time because very few people wanted them and they are blocking the release of tnf 3 in my area. **** those figures.

He may not have been important to you, but I know many people that have him as one of the greatest big men of all time. Pardon me, any wrestler that was a house show main eventer was clearly an all timer. You have to consider that the business was a lot different back then. With only a handful of PPV shows each year, arena shows are where a lot of big feuds culminated. It's fine that you aren't much a fan of the era or many of its workers, but being involved in feuds that did well at house shows isn't a trivial matter within the context of how the business was at the time. Heck, one of Hulk Hogan's biggest drawing WWF feuds ever was his 1987 program with Kamala. I don't agree with this. Again, it's fine that you have no interest in these figures, but I know plenty of people, both on here and elsewhere, who were happy to scoop up these two. In my area, it was similar to how theaxehennig described it: The first shipment moved well. It's been the subsequent shipments that have created the logjam. And, like others, several of the ones sitting on the pegs in my stores are missing the belts. Certainly not helping matters.

They're great quality and cool to play with.

I've been ready by this thread and have finally decided to chip in.
Basically, anyone who disagrees with the Natural Disasters deserving a place in the Mattel line up is wrong.
They are not obscure and there is no need to debate this.
Everyone has 'their era' and to me Earthquake and Typhoon are up there with Ken Shamrock, D'Lo Brown, Goldust or Godfather.
The earlier post about store exclusives and purchasing patterns of the big stores are the reason why any figure warms shelves. There is a market for every figure produced.
