You guys gotta realize if you don't buy what's there, these new figures won't get pushed out. The WWE line isn't like the marvel legends line when they get exclusives. If no one buys them, none get ordered. so i have to buy 11 alexa figures and 3 maryse from my 2 local walgreens to keep the line going? That makes no sense at all. How about instead walgreens equally distributes the figures so certain stores actually get certain characters and others stores dont get stuck with so many of the same character

My Walgreens isn’t terrible with distribution they only get two Elites every so often. But still we have had two Maryse figures for ages and an E53 Miz. I’ve never seen a Walgreens stock beyond four figures at a time.
I feel like since Nattie was canceled and Naomi and Paige pushed back, maybe Mattel has realized Walgreens isn’t the best place to host exclusives. I hope they figure out a way to get them out since they’re really fantastic figures. It would be a shame to see Naomi shelved. I know she’ll get more figures but that belt and gear were beautiful. If she were released, it would be one of the best Elites of the year.

Wow....I didn’t even know Alexa was out.
I’ve not seen her figure yet.

Luckily I had the Alexa's picked up for me cause the Sasha & Beckys have still yet to move around here.

I wanna say it was around the time we saw Wendi. I REALLY REALLY REALLY try not to sound like I know what is what. I’m not a professional at Mattel. Plus I know they said things were backed up (obviously) But it’s kinda getting crazy. I wish they’d slide Naomi in some Elite series. Not to get off track, but on that same note, why did they throw Sasha into the WM series and not Wendi? 😭 It’s like we’re getting some of the backed up figures but not all of them. Naomi was champion how long ago? I mean it’s waaaaaaay behind.

I'm not suggesting 1 person buying the whole lot. There's a reason these aren't moving. It's because the majority doesn't care.

I do most the ordering for my store. However everytime I put in an order all I get is Sasha.

The Walgreens around me all have plenty of Maryse and Alexa Bliss figures. If people are still looking for these there are plenty here in Connecticut

And then I just stopped cause it was all Becky or Maryse. I did my part, but like I said earlier no one buys them. I did the same when marvel legends were b1g1 50% off. But those sold lol There needs to be a good sale for them to move.

According to several WALGREENS Managers, They do not get any new female talent in until they sell out of the current ones they have on the shelf! Which makes it hard to find the particular one that you’re looking for

Tbh I don’t think the Women’s Division setback is Walgreens’ fault. I wonder if Mattel is second thinking them being a place to have their own exclusives. I just don’t see them being a hot spot for exclusive action figures.

Walgreens is a glorified convenience store with a pharmacy.

Don't have any Walgreen's around me but have seen only Maryse and Sasha when I pass through a town that has one.

I’ve seen one Maryse a month ago, but it’s gone now. Haven’t seen any new exclusives since. With that said... I still haven't found a Becky Lynch. Looking for one? The Walgreens in Frederick MD has 4 of them and they’ve been there since the first 12 sold. I’ll grab you one for retail and shipping of you’re interested.

Lol the most mine has had at a time is about five lol and that’s Elite and Basic. I never saw Becky. Right now I just need that belt for a custom...I have a spare Maryse IC title if anyone has a spare Smackdown Women’s belt! Lol

I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than 3 women’s figures at one time, whether it’s the same one or different ones. I’ve been able to find all 4 thus far, but also at 4 different stores.

After they sold we got 6 Becky’s, and a month later they were gone and 6 more showed up. Another month later, they’ve sold, and 4 more get stocked with a Maryse. It was nuts.
