I would say series 7 shipments moved really well. If there are 3 left on your shelf it means 5 have sold. This is a niche line and it's been mishandled with really questionable figure choices considering us 30 somethings are the prime audience. This will never be a mainstream line of figures. It's a nostalgia grab. With that said, if each series gets at least 2 shipments on average per store I feel most people who are.interested will be able to get them without a lot of stock sitting. If we see some replenishment of series 7 along with series 8 making it's way in the next month or so, itll be a good sign the distribution is better and the line is getting healthier. I say all of this hoping it survives long enough to get the Diesel and maybe a Jarrett and Lawler before the end of 2020 Agree, I was getting optimistic lately with some of the upcoming lineups w/ Goldust, JYD, Studd and Diesel tease. I hope they're starting to figure out who the line should really be aimed at and start to reflect that more with coming releases. If there's at least 2 proper flashbacks (not modern versions of legends like HBK and Goldberg), I'll be pretty pleased, as long as they keep pumping them out and I can build up a decent collection sometime soon. Good points. I'd also be happy with a 2 (proper!) Flashbacks every wave going forward. I'd prefer 4, but would settle for 2...

So, looks like tons of walmarts got a bunch of retros again last night, at least in my area, everything jumped by 16. But, of course yet again, nothing on the pegs. Anyone have any luck the past day or so? Wondering if it's all S7 or is it S8 already?

Checked the other night, and three stores got them in. First one I went to said they had 16, but none of the shelves or even on the floor at all. The other one I went to said they had 8 and did indeed have a full case of series 7 on the pegs. Got one of each.

So this begs the question again, WHERE ARE THE RSC PREORDERS?

Brickseek showed 8 yesterday, went there, found none. Checked this morning, showed six and actually had 6 when I got there. Snagged another set and 3 Fan Central Daniel Bryans at $10 each. Bryans were sitting up high, next to series 63 elites.

This doesn't really happen with Target right? When the trucks come in at night Target gets everything pushed to the floor that night/morning usually I thought? Or are they bad sometimes too? Since I can't see the Target quantities on BS, it's harder for me to really know when there should be new product. Just hoping I can get the rest of what I need from S7 and cancel those with RSC so they can ship my S8 order.

Walmarts are different with stocking days/times. Two others show 16 on hand but they're 1/2 hour away in different directions. Counts were the same as yesterday. Probably didn't put those out yet and employees don't help you find crap.

Probably didn't put those out yet and employees don't help you find crap. Nope, and they're all on palets, so they won't locate them. They need to get their crap together and push product to the floor when it's off the truck. Never see half empty aisles at a Target.

I’m in upstate NY. My local Walmart’s have E63 and the HBK retros in stock. They were just put out a few days ago. Walmart take a few days after they pop up on Brickseek. Sometimes they will go to the back to check. You have to be polite and don’t mention Brickseek.

Full sets of Series 7 at my local WalMart near Philadelphia. I don’t collect, but figured I’d report it.

Well persistence paid off and I got the rest of what I needed this morning. Hey quick question, anyone know if the scarf comes off Jericho? I picked up 2 extra of him for customs, but don't want to open them if the scarf doesn't come off without damaging the torso.

Found a set Wednesday after work, and picked up doubles of Kurt/HBK/Jericho yesterday at a different Walmart on my way to work. I’m going to play around with head swaps for HBK and Jericho. Angle is pretty awesome.

Found 2 full sets of series 7 at Walmart here in Illinois. Brickseek went up in quantity. I called to see if they were in stock, and as always did not receive much help. Decided to go and found full sets. Some cards weren't the best and some bubbles were creased or cracked. There should be a set of 4 left at Hodgkins Walmart.

I was able to get another Jericho and Kurt Angle today. I now have 2 of each from series 7. I got series 8 early this week from ringside, the collection is getting pretty big.

I went to two Walmart's. Brickseek said one had 10 and the other one 5. Zero in both.
