Have posters who have been finding these noticed a direct correlation with Brickseek? I know that seems like an obvious question, but of the 12 Walmarts in our general area, 6 never got Series 2. I’m mostly curious if anyone chased an uptick, went to the store and found additional Series 2’s arrived? At this point do we think all Series 2 has shipped? Yes, Brickseek has been 100% dead on for me.

I dont believe all of series 2 has shipped. But I have no inside info My local Walmart, where I just got series 3 looked up series 2 when it was hitting everywhere else and said they had none on order, none were being delivered to the store. When they tried to order them, it wouldn't allow them.

I went to one of my two local Walmarts that had gotten Series 2 and still had 3 Razors and 2 Alundras on the shelf. BS showed 2 additional cases but they were Series 2 as well. Not sure any Walmart near me has skipped the HB Hotel set.

I was able to get them at the Walmart by my work, so while annoying, not the end of the world

Every Steamboat figure has warmed. The Legends, the DM, and the 3 pack. You think if any figure in that set is to be short packed, it would be that one.

Its a moronic move to short pack any figure from a BAF set It is, but if it has to be done you’d think the guy in the plain white attire that never sold well would be shorted over a first time in the line figure. Especially when wrestlers with king gimmicks have always sold well (both Bookers, both Lawlers, every Macho King).

That's a bit surprising, considering that Jakks never released any Steamboat figs?! If those sold terribly, I doubt Mattel would bother releasing another elite?! This is the only figure I am interested in from this set so I for one am happy that its 2 per set which gives me a better shot a finding one. Breaking things down a bit further- the legends line as a whole did not do well so you can't just go by one figure. The DM was sold at a higher price point and this attire was not that popular (I personally did not like the dragon outfit gimmick) and the 3 pack (I presume you are referring to the Piper, Steamboat, Macho pack?!) contained figures that were all re-releases so that could be why it did not sell well?!

The Walmart closest to me(which I rarely go to) had Series 3. If it helps anyone this Walmart never saw Series 2 Elites, or Flashback Basic series 2 for that matter. They still have Basic Series 1 but at clearance prices.

They short packed harley race because they had to actually spend some money to make him. Steamboat and Austin are just releases with different attire, and jake the snake is an almost re-release with an updated headscan and a new rubber jacket. Once again making it even harder to find the most desired figure in a set. Mattel has been going on a streak of being real jerks. I say jerks because i can't say what i really mean, but the word starts with a...

Glad the BAF parts are visible now. Too many times I've seen figures from BAF waves that I need the parts from and the BAF parts are gone. Most recently, just this last weekend when I saw Booker T in the JJ Dillon wave. I need the JJ head, and that's Booker's part, and someone stole the JJ head.

Same with Dusty Rhodes The Legend figure did for sure and the Kmart HOF Legend. The ring/figure combo didn’t warm in my area and the Summerslam basic was nearly impossible to find.

I am happy with the Harley Race figure and I think Mattel did a great job. But I wish they would remember that there was wrestling prior to Wrestlemania 3. I think this is the only reason it's King Harley and not an NWA. He was only in the WWF for 987 days. His second NWA Title reign was 926 days. I hope that he moves well enough for them to maybe revisit him with a younger look.
