I'm still waiting for FC2 and SvSH elites, and by waiting I mean I don't care anymore and I'll try to track them down in a year or so

I doubt they were produced sparingly by accident The question is whether they're produced to order, or sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to end up at Big Lots. Hopefully they were produced, distributed and sold

I know around here the WalMarts received the same amount of Series 3 that they did for the other two assortments. Which was basically two stockings of them. Two cases on the initial shipment and then depending on the store one or two cases on the second shipment. So to me they were just as available as the previous waves.

Same for me I noticed each series stocked twice maybe three times for the first series.

There pretty much have to be more of these out there. I think more hit retail than people realize, but nowhere near the 5-10,000 number that was probably produced. Remember that there was a significant gap between TNF3 leaving stores and the series showing up on RSC. At least 6+ months. I wouldn't be shocked if something like that happens again. I would say 5000 is a good estimate since there are a little over 5000 Walmart stores and the website, so that would average out to 1 case per store.

There’s a 1000% chance Race will be rereleased in a future line.

Figures were double packed, so ~10,000 is a realistic run with ~5,000 for the short packed Race.

Don’t they usually have 2 production runs per series? In this case they would probably have done only one run so just half the amount were made than originally planned.

People saying they got the same amount of series 3 either got lucky or are lying.
Series 1 hit each store and had a couple of each guy.
Series 2 hit and every store had pegs full of Alundra and Razor until they were $3 on clearance recently...
Series 3 hit maybe 3 stores once in the entire KC metro and that’s like 20 Walmart’s....
I never saw a Harley Race. Saw a few Austin’s and Jakes and bought the one Steamboat I saw.
I don’t even want blonde, non mustached Harley but it’s a testament to how hugged up Walmart’s distribution is.

I guess I got lucky then because the three WalMarts I hit regularly had two shipments. Sure of the combined 6 shipments I only saw Race twice, but I did see multiples of everyone else. And in all instances just like with Series 1 & 2 they were all gone before the week was over. But all three stores had at least 3 or 4 cases of series 3. Which is all they got for Series 1 & 2 as well.

I'm from a super small town in NC, but got lucky that 1 case of series 3 hit here. As said above though, there's no way store got the same amount of series 3 as they did 1 and 2. My Wal-Mart was flooded with with series 2 for the longest time, and had at least 3 cases of series 1 stocked.

There's no way series 3 had multiple cases put out at Wal-Mart's. Id say 2 at most. My Wal-Mart only got 1 case and was gone within 2 days. I got my set, went back for a 2nd jake and steamboat and they were all gone.

No question there's a lot of variance from region to region with WM's distribution. Some but not all stores here got a restock of FB2. They went fast, and the last time I saw any in store was a lone Razor around early November. All of the stores here got at least one case of FB3, but again they were usually gone within a day or two of hitting. At least one store got restocked twice, 1 case each time.
On the flip side, only 2 of the dozen or so stores here got the SS/FC shipper.
I think there's a good chance we see FB3, SS, and FC showing up at RSC or secondary retailers at some point in the next 9 months or so. There is just no way enough product made it to shelves nationwide to account for the minimum factory run they would need to do to hit the price point.

My Wal-Mart was flooded with with series 2 for the longest time, and had at least 3 cases of series 1 stocked. Maybe in your area, but the three stores I go to regularly (Riverdale NJ, Suffern NY and Monroe NY) all had 2 shipments of Series 3 just like they had for Series 1 & 2. And every time the figures were restocked they were sold out before the end of the week. I found Race twice. (One for me and one for JokerFC) one was from the first shipment at the Riverdale store and the second was from the Monroe store’s second shipment.

We got 2 shipments of series 1 at the Walmart closest to my house. At least 4-5 of series 2 and only 1 of series 3. I was lucky to just happen to show up the day it was stocked and plucked all the ones of series 3 I wanted.
