So I guess I’ll be checking five below, Ollie’s, and big lots for series 63, 64, and 65.

is there a chance that someone bought a case online and then returned the ones they didn't want/need to a store? that would be stupid imo you’re paying out the wahoo for ringsides prices in exchange for less money?

I believe he was genuinely asking a question to which he believed was true. It’s possible. Used to happen at K-Mart a lot.

Used to happen at K-Mart a lot. i've definitely seen posts here over the years with pictures of figures in stores which weren't actually available in those particular stores and the general consensus ended up being they were bought online and returned to the store. i wasn't taking online price into consideration at first, but the case could've been bought by someone that gets wholesale prices or something. i dunno.

Allow me to steal a line from OSW
Mattel: “you wanted Bob Backlund, Pete Dunne, & Sensational Sherri? F*****************************cccccckkkkkkkk yyyyyooooouuuu!”
By the way, I knew, absolutely knew, from the moment they were announced, that Walmart and Target were gonna find some sort of way to skip the waves with their exclusive figures in them.

That’s the only thing that bugs me about this crap, sure it can Ben annoying when series get skipped in retail, but in the past there is a way to get everyone. Amazon, target, Kmart, a ringside sale, eventually all the sets are available. However, if this really is the next set Walmart received to distribute then they skipped over getting Backlund and Sherri to us. Not everyone was lucky enough to get backlund on wwe shop. Honestly Wwe shop doesn’t get every set. They usually get a ton of figures at Christmas time, a few sets around Easter and then the rest of the year they just kinda randomly get some stuff.

Of course the store not carrying Alexander Wolfe gets these in, hopefully this isn’t an indication to how the distribution of these will work because I feel that’s something Mattel would do.

I have seen elite 62 in only a few Canadian Walmarts. I have never seen Sting.
Distribution sucks. They should create unique UPC codes for all figures, then these dolt buyers can order the right amounts.

Actually, I think Mattel has finally got me to quit.
I have had four massive collections, then sold them off. Kind of a plastic crack addiction. I wanted to start again, but the way they release figures is a real turn off. Happily done with the game but happy to look at all of your pictures!

Wtf.?!
Anywho, I have the AJ from pre order so I’m in no rush to find it on shelves......but still that makes no sense? Skipping from e62to 66!?

Saw a jump in quantity at my local WM, checked it out, E62 minus Sting and Rezar.
So so unfortunate to see a jump in series, these exclusives are going to be a killer.
