Usually when a line is cross referenced the way the flashback series is, they wont put them on clearance if another wave is gonna be coming. They only mark it down when the store is no longer going to carry it. My best friend is the department manager. She told me it was a corporate markdown. (meaning it isn't isolated to just this store)

and marvel legends lines are not all cross referenced. Netflix, black panther, avengers, spiderman, and deadpool waves are not cross referenced with one another.

I’ve only seen this set once. Hard to believe it’s in trouble.

Could be they are getting ready for their summer department reset. Stores usually put a lot of stuff on clearance so they don’t have to pack it up and then restock it when the aisles are reset. It is easier for them to clearance the product before the resets so then they just can put the new product on the pegs after they finish moving the pegs.

The elites did well by me. They did put up the $11 tags but never got any in stock since then. The basics did well at first but after the 1st shipments they continue to sit. I still think it is an awful idea to give the Flashback line to Wal-Mart. For 2 years everyone was use to getting 2-3 flashbacks per series. They were available to everyone. Now if u aren't in the U.S. the bay is your only option. I mean I get why they did it but I wish they didn't. Just my opinion.

They've sold out within days of the first shipment in all 4 of my Walmarts.

All I know is that Alundra is the only one so far that I care about and getting her when my store doesn't even carry the line is gonna be a pain in the butt.

We're safe guys. George that works at my Walmart assured me. I trust him. He also lives at a Holiday Inn Express.

My area stores haven’t had or restocked the FB elitess since I found mine. That's what I found odd about a couple of the stores I went to. They haven't had a Flashback Elite in a month or so, but had the $11 tags on empty hooks? This is exactly what my store did as well. The pegs are empty but the tags went on anyway. This series sold very well at my Walmart.

Mine got them twice and the Elites were gone each time.
The basics .... ehhh not too good. I agree with the poster who said maybe Walmart wasn’t the best choice to sell these — but at this point where is, lol.

No there not, they marking them down so they can make room for the new ones coming out soon.
Instead of old stuff clogging the shelves forever either mattel or walmart decided to do this now. This is a good thing, people should have a better chance buying new product.
Kudos to both mattel and walmart.

These disappeared around me. Nothing from that set sat at all. My go-to Walmart had 3 cases and a restock and they were gone in a week both times. The Basics are still sitting but the Elites were as hot as I’ve seen a set.

Syxx and Yoko were the slow movers of the set in my area but it’s usually only 1 or 2 of each and they’ve been slowly disappearing. I thought the series was doing pretty well

My wal-mart has taken them off the aisle with their newest update for Jurassic World. They've moved them to a clearance aisle, marked them down to $11 and there is no shelf tag for them anymore. So I'm left wondering about wave 2... Usually when a line is cross referenced the way the flashback series is, they wont put them on clearance if another wave is gonna be coming. They only mark it down when the store is no longer going to carry it. My best friend is the department manager. She told me it was a corporate markdown. (meaning it isn't isolated to just this store)
