I noticed today that when my Walmart's did their resets, they placed a security camera above the WWE section. Hopefully this will help reduce the occurrence of stolen belts.

I visited 2 other walmarts. Epping NH I purchased mine at brickseek worked.
Went to derry NH and they were out back and the guy said the shelves were to clogged with old stuff to put them out.
Manchester NH. Has them on the shelf.
So 3 for 3 Walmart had what was in stock on brickseek but 1 was just to lazy to get then, the wee section was dead he just was lazy. Check at 10pm or first thing when they open in the morning.

Checked Brickseek for the Eites using the number in this thread. Tuesday - Wednesday, nothing. This morning it said every Walmart in my area got 8. Had a small window of time to run to the closest Walmart today. Got there, 2 New Elite Cenas. That’s it. Nothing else. I asked the lady working in the department if they possibly had a box of New WWE figures in the back. She said NO and turned her back on me. As she walked away from me I said “Brickseek online suggests you do. Do you mind checking?” She said “there is a lot of wrong information out there” and walked away. When she turned her back on you, ya should have went with plan b...

I was able to get results on brickseek using these numbers: Flashback Elites - 629287047 Flashback Basics- 168002605 Hope this helps. Thanks. That tipped me off to a Walmart near me that has a bunch in stock but not yet on the shelves. They are in the midst of re-setting, so the pegs and labels are up - just waiting on the figures. I’ll be checking there daily now. :-) Update - they put them on the shelves today and I bought the ones I wanted.

I’d love if this was a company wide thing. As someone who enjoys WWE and Marvel Legends figs, cracking down on thieves and swappers would be great.

Scored my set tonight, thanks to a couple of awesome employees who took the box from the pallet waiting to go on the shelves. Made sure I told the manager how much their efforts were appreciated.

Checked brickseek 8 were in stock. Just left walmart and no dice. Not on shelves and not on pallets at the end of the aisles. Im hoping theyre just not out yet. We do have a serious scalper epidemic because of our two flea markets. I always see the same idiot on my toy hunts with full unopened set boxes of marvel legends and wwe. Just yanks them off the pallet and takes them to the register. Ill be checking tomorrow morning.

I’m pretty sure it says right on the site, not to harass employees and that the site is not 100% accurate. Don’t expect a Walmart employee to know what brickseek is, let alone care. They probably get hounded so often by collectors looking for crap that they know is in the back, even though their boss won’t let them bring it forward

Use the walmart app on your smartphone and scan the peg, if in stock and not on shelves show to a stocker/manager. If your store has none in stock, look for other stores in area that actually have it. If you only have 1 walmart in the area, you just need to move.

Brickseek was accurate for me this morning. I walked into Walmart when it opened and landed all four. I live in mid Maryland.

Does anyone know, have some insight or work for Walmart that would know why there is no longer a WWE section? Stores do this every so often. They called it a reset when I worked in retail. They clear sections of shelf space and leave them empty for a day or two tops. Just in thentime it takes them to reset the shelves/pegs to predetermined specifications. They do this so properly accommodate all the new products they will be getting with minimal wasted space. Check back in a week, I'm sure the store should have things sorted out by then.

I wish I had the luxury to treat customers that way and get away with it lol.....trust me, I feel the pain of retail. I've been working retail for years and I fully sympathize with employees who have to deal with crazy, rude, arrogant, snobby or downright mean people. And that's why it's a job and usually a downright crappy one...you always have to bite your lip and at least make people feel like you care to an extent and will do what you can, even if you have no clue about something or how much they're trying to make you feel like crap. When people just rush you with an attitude straight away cause of maybe having a bad day or whatever else, I hate it but I try to at least deal with it. Usually people are friendly and maybe I have something I'm busy with or distracted by or hearing the same question all day, so I feel bad about being short with them. I understand that toys are not a life or death thing like getting medication or what have you and employees just look at us as crazy collectors half the time probably. Bottom line though, unless someone is walking in threatening you with violence or sexually harassing you or whatever then yeah, at least make some kind of effort to make people at least feel a little bit better for whatever it's worth. I understand how it is dealing with collectors when you have things to do or your tired or whatever but it's not much different than dealing with holiday rushes or when there are storms causing panic and people mobbing stores etc.... In a perfect world people would be kind I know, but people are people at the end of the day and it's part of the pain of collecting if still doing it the old fashioned way lol.

I’m in north metro Atlanta & tracker helped me find the elites today as well. They had a fresh case out with 2x each.
Just mean gene & warrior for me. Already swapped the head on warrior for the dirty blonde hair- much better.
Didn’t see the basics but I didn’t use tracker for them

I like how there are basics in 2 places, the pegs and the display tray, I was wondering that "basic cdu" spot was for, I was thinking they were making an even cheaper version of basics.

Would you kindly brickseek the flashback figures so we know if the tracker is working? All of my walmarts in a 100 mile radius still show ZERO Syxx figures. I was able to get results on brickseek using these numbers: Flashback Elites - 629287047 Flashback Basics- 168002605 Hope this helps. Thanks for the numbers! I was able to get my Syxx today!

Walmart getting a jump start on that Wfigs Retailer of the Year award Anyone else notice how lopsided the Battle Pack 49 sets hang? The Foley/Stephanie set is the worst, but they all hang crooked. Someone in packaging messed up.

It looks like walmart is clearancing out all the older wwe elites/battlepacks. Which is actually a good thing for once. It's bizarro world where there actually doing the right thing.
