I was worried because he’s not even on the site as out of stock orback ordered. I just got my confirmation on shipment of series 8 after i posted so maybe he will go back on as available... i don’t have the patience to wait for Wal-Mart!! I’ve just manages to get series 7 from there!!!

He hasn't been on RSC for several weeks I believe. Guessing they'll be at Walmart soon, but yeah, like you said I wouldn't have the patience either. I always preorder from RSC as soon as a set goes up to be safe and make sure I get the ones I want.
Walmart is horrible, at least the one I drive past every morning. Whenever these spike on brickseek at Walmart, I have no clue when they'll be on the pegs. Could be that day, could be 2 weeks. And they sit on a pallet until pushed to the floor, so staff has no way of locating them if you ask. And I assume this is how it is with just about everything that comes in. Dis Dis Dis Disbtribution problems are one thing, but it's another that they're relying on a crappy retailer that can't be bothered to stock their shelves. Stuff can't sell if it's sitting in the back on a pallet. Really wish Mattel would get on Walmart about this.

Stuff can't sell if it's sitting in the back on a pallet. Really wish Mattel would get on Walmart about this. We all know about distribution problems, but retail inventory problems are real. When are they going to put these out? Are they sitting in the back somewhere? Do they even HAVE the cases they're supposed to have, or is the inventory number wrong and the figures aren't even in the store? That's a real issue, too. That's what happened locally with series two of the retro figures. They kept showing up in inventory but no one could find them in the store. For months it was like that until they finally just corrected the number to "0" and the series was never to be seen here. More recently that's the exact same thing that happened at the exact same store with the Flashback elite figures. Those are STILL showing up as 8 in inventory but the number hasn't moved since October, so they're clearly not there. The people in the department are just waiting for storewide inventory season so the number can get corrected to 0 like they did with the retros. (I'm of the opinion someone is swiping entire cases of these either at the distribution center before they're sent or once they arrive on the truck at this store).

Many stores by me have stock at 0 and have not gotten anything new. Wonder if they are waiting for the sale to end before shipping anymore new retros?

My Walmart only got series 1 and 2. Then just finally I think series 7 with hbk, sheamus. Y2j and kurt. Targets seem to get all the sets.

Targets near me are only good for Rollins or Ambrose with the occasional sighting of Goldberg, KO #2 or AJ. I had bought AJ when I got NXT 4 so I rebought him on the sale since it is still in the return period for the original. Get myself $5 and change back.
Wal-Marts now I only ever see Series 7. Not really a shortage of any of them at any Wal-Mart I go to.
Really wish I had decided to get these during the earlier series. I wasn't sure how I felt on them but after getting my hands on a Brock really cheap online, I started picking up all the ones I could get in the $12 or less range.

Same thing here, Walmart has S7 and they're moving slowly. Thinking of trying to grab a few more HBK though, my favorite of the bunch after some mods, probably 2nd only to Taker for me so far. And Targets are either out of stock, or back to S3, can't believe S3 still won't go away. Things were looking up when they started getting S4 and S5. Is there a set date when the sale ends? Or just indefinite for now until they clear out all the old stock? Wonder if they end up dropping the line in the end. Even if they put out S7, they're not going to move much at this point either, unless they're on sale again. Had this cool idea, of getting like 4 or 5 per guy and hanging them on store like pegs to simulate a retail situation.

The 3 closest Targets within 45 minutes have 3 pieces total. Be interesting to see what they restock with soon.

Are there still any reports of the Flair series, or even Series 2 showing up at discounters at this point? Or are those completely done? Hoping to get a few more Flairs and Mankinds.

The 5 below by me just gets in the girls Divas figures and old basic and NXT figures. They haven't had series 3 in about a month, thank goodness.

Yeah, I never see anything at those stores, I was at 2 5 bellows, tj maxx, gabe's and a Tuesday morning yesterday. I don't know how anyone finds anything at these places, never seen anything other than a few basics or zombies.

They don't have much shelf space, as you have seen, so they don't put much out. For that matter, maybe they get 1 or 2 cases in. One or two customers can clear out a series real quick for $5 a pop, compared to $10+ elsewhere.

Now they're back to a couple of S3 figs or sold out at the stores around here.
