I really hate this one case and done thing that has been the past year of collecting WWE figures. Yeah it doesn't help the collectors at all it only helps the scalpers make more money off the true collectors.

one case and done would help the line so much. No more chances of an e33 debacle. Figures will become sought after again and the chase will be exciting I completely disagree. There are so many bad examples that outweight the good. The main example being how damn difficult it is to find figures. Scalpers are already an obstacle, but one and done stock would raise the price on secondary markets. It would help online retail, but for those that shop brick and mortar would be left out. I’m also not daily hunting hoping to be the first to the pegs. With TRU down and out, retailers need to step up and fill the void. Honestly, there isn’t one good reason for single cases for collectors. It helps when stores are flooded with 15 of the same figure from the same series. We all bitched about figures rotting, mattel seem to be making an effort to change things to stop that. 1 case may be bad, but 2 and done should be the way to go. Stores already have enough nasty boys and Wyatt Bryans still

Hall of Champions is on clearance in Targets system as far as today when I looked on our system what were they clearanced too? Like $14 but we're out of stock and only got one case a few weeks back But then I checked other stores and it seems to be just mine and a handful of other stores that have them clearanced, but they're all out of stock

My Walmart had zero wwe figures yesterday.
However, they are doing a reset of the toy section.

Mine still had tons of the basics at full price yesterday. The elites they only got one or two cases. I never got Syxx, whom I've been waiting years for. I hate exclusives. It's always a pain in the ass to get them.

When it was TNF it was January and August, so maybe it's January May August and...November perhaps? If its four which it seems like it is since we are already getting a reset and have seen three waves already.

THe one furthest gets WWE product, the other 2 have been in reset since approximately August when I originally made a post about how an employee at that Walmart said it wasn't carrying WWE products anymore. 9 months later and still nothing at that one.

The Flashbacks at this Walmart lost their spot to the Incredibles 2 after the reset.

Checked mine today, there are still tags up for elite flashbacks. A handful of the Fink basic BaF series, and one elite Syxx that still scans at 17.97. They were loaded with E57 though, and the Mania endcap.

My Walmart has the WM battle packs and elites (orton, Cena, Owens, beefcake) all for 4 bucks each. They didn't have anymore ortons so I passed on whole set.

I really hate this one case and done thing that has been the past year of collecting WWE figures. In my area, I like the one and done. There are rarely any wrestling toy collectors. Been easy to find things at any 1 of the 3 Walmarts I have... scared the WrestleMaina Elite/Battle Packs will put a halt to that. Only time I really hate one and done is at my Target. They got series 1 NXT elites and since then they been done with stocking any NXT elites... still have 2 Bayley's rotting away.

I would like to see a picture of that... thats crazy! My Walmart got them a week before WrestleMania and each store has upwards of 30 Elites and Battle Packs

You know what would help, with all of these exclusives?! Actually having them online. Like, get some in the stores yeah, but don't FLOOD them. BUT have the damn option to buy online. MAYBE the stores should ship back what doesn't sell after a period and those can go online.
The thing is, is the distro for exclusives at Walmart and Target blow. They're so uneven. How many threads or posts are people like "Target sucks" only to be countered with "NO WALMART SUCKS!" It's all about where you live. So if you live somewhere that has good Walmarts, and suck Targets or vice versa, a healthy online amount of those exclusives would be a HUGE benefit.
For me, if you're not lucky and at that Walmart the DAY an exclusive drops, you're out. They're likely never getting them again. Ever. BUT Target's near me are pretty legit about their exclusives and they're easy to track down and get. I know it's the other way in other places. If Walmart EVER had a well functioning Website (it's trash) and actually put their stuff up now and then, it wouldn't be such a cluster. Target tends to do SOME online drops but it seems super random. Still better than Walmart, who may literally NEVER put something online but some store in BoDunk County South Iowa will have 34534 cases all at clearance.

You're correct about distribution but its not Walmart or Target, its Mattel and they've been like that for years and years.

A few weeks ago I walked into a Target that wa is undergoing a Grey remodel. They had everything wwe on clearance. The Hasbro style fits, the zombies, the HOF figs, and some basics. I haven't seen those figures on clearance ay other targets so I'm assuming they cleared them just for the remodel.

Changes need to be made in the store systems that exclusive items are autoshipped at least once. Or else don't have them. Paying money for exclusives that half your stores never stock is insane. Online would solve a lot of problems.
