There’s E65 and then there’s Walmart E65 which has Sherri God, I hope not. Making one figure in a set a store exclusive will suck especially around here where the store exclusive usually end up being grabbed up by T0y W!z. Their warehouse is located right behind my local Walmart. And their store is a mile away from both the Palisades Center Target and the Spring Valley Target. And they have people hit those stores (along with a few others) every morning looking for the new WWE, DC and ML figures (as well as other lines) It’s gotten to the point if I see their cars in the parking lot of a store I don’t even go into the store and hope they haven’t hit one of the others first. Unfortunately true. There’s a known scalper in my area too who sells on eBay so i know it’s gonna be tough getting these. I haven’t been having luck with hoc or flashback lines at any of the many stores around me. The good news I heard but not confirmed as true,..is that these figures will be 2 per case

Yep, its been confirmed on here a couple weeks back Surely a business isnt going into a store, buying figures and marking them up? Surely toy w1z buy direct from Mattel and other suppliers, i doubt they rely on scooping figures from stores, how would they make any money? their resell prices are insane I must say, i just looked, and they are ridic, i spose people must pay it though a? Madness

You can thank mattel for taking a simple thing of making a Sensational Sherri figure that people wanted (me included) and instead of making it widely available they decided:
"Hey lets make it even harder for wwe figure collectors, and lets encourage scalpers to resell these if they find them".

I cant understand how they're making harder? Its easier, because right now, its impossible to get a Mattel Sherri Figure, it doesnt exist, in a few weeks or months it'll be in Walmart, how is going from not existing to being in a store, harder for collectors?

@mattelfreak it becomes harder for collectors because the figure is now a Walmart exclusive vs. being available easily and to the masses from Amazon. Wal-Mart is not consistent with stocking figures, and as some have noted they don’t have access to Walmart. Amazon on the other hand is available to everyone to obtain figures.

But it was never available on amazon, it was a pre order which didnt exist, i sort of get what your saying, but, cant agree

@mattelfreak people weren’t aware the preorder wasn’t gonna happen though. I am not one of them, but regardless of amazon preorders, the figure going from a general elite release to becoming a store exclusive still makes it harder to obtain compared to other figures.

But its not any harder to get, it doesnt exist, and it will do soon so its easier And more people will walk into a walmart and buy than the amount of pre orders placed

It most likely in some quantity already does and makings it’s way onto pallets... but to play ball with your line of thinking- When it does “exist” there is no denying that it being a chase elite line figure exclusive to Walmart makes it much more difficult to obtain compared to a regular elite line figure that can be readily purchased at many stores and online retailers such as Amazon.

Lawyer talk? Thats odd. Anyway, the argument wasnt that it would harder to find than regular elites, the original post said Mattel have made it harder to find, in general, not more so than regular elites, of course it'll be harder to find than a regular elite, i never said it wouldnt. Mattel have made it easier to find than it was, as it didnt exist, now it does

The statement made said you can thank Mattel for making Sherri and then instead of a wider mass release making it harder as it’s an exclusive. The given in the entire statement right from the very first part of the statement is that the figure exists.

And im not a dude lol The last time i'll say it, its not harder to get, its easier, they made it, so its easier than before they made it, because its an exclusive doesnt make it harder to get, its still easier than had they not made it, yes, its harder to get than a regular elite, but as you said, i state the obvious, not sure why or how that could ever be a bad thing
