Just called my local walmart and spent some time explaining that we haven't received any Elite stock in months and explained the E69 issue and how it could be affecting the reordering of new shipments. Turns out the theory was correct and I got them to manually reset the stock count and they ordered a new case (although they said it wont arrive until January 11th for some reason) but I'm still very pleased. I recommend you guys do the same if you're having similar problems because its likely that nobody knows there's even a problem until they're told.

Saw what was left (1 or 2 figures) of E72 at Walmart a few days ago.

Went to the other side of town to see Star Wars, then went to that walmart afterwards. They had 8 spring rings, 2 kids roleplay belts and then a bunch of the Walmart brand dinosaurs covering up all the pegs because there were no figures, basic or Elite. All this while standing underneath a sign that said "America's Best Toy Shop".

I went to walmart yesterday and they had new battle packs out but no elites. I had to go back today to get a birthday cake and they had put out two cases of Elite 70. Which is kind of a bummer because the next figure in the elite waves that I want is Gorilla. When Vince was first announced I was looking forward to it but the face is off to me and he is too tall. And I'd only want Gerald Brisco if we were getting Jack.

We went back to Monroe this morning and they had another case of E73 out. I picked up a Sane and another Triple H.

Walmart update on my end: Nothing new on the Elite front, but we finally got Basic 100. No chase though, but nice to finally see them in hand. Left with HBK

I got my local Walmart to reset their count today as well. Hopefully they get a case soon.

I found two cases of E72 on a pallet tonight. Was actually hoping for E73, but this worked out great too as I got Murphy and Roddy for me and Monsoon for my friend.

I'm noticing many of my Walmarts are getting cases of basic 98 for the "last weekend before Christmas" rush. This is very similar to last year with cases of basic 81 popping up a few days before Christmas last year. I suppose they are trying to avoid the situation like Christmas 2017 when all of the pegs were empty the last 2 weeks.

Monroe NY has e73 also. The case breakdown was... 2 Triple H 2 Bryan 1 Black 1 Sane 1 Elias 1 Gran Metalik (blue) I picked up Triple H, Bryan and Black. They must not be putting everything out at once. This morning was a black Metalik plus everyone but Aleister.

Yeah when I went back yesterday morning the department manager saw me and said she had just put out another case of Elites, but she still hadn’t seen the Survivor Series set. I told her I was no longer looking for Muraco because my Walmart.com order had gone through. She then said she had the basic set with the Ultimate Warrior if I was interested in Warrior, but I told her I already had him. But the Black was already gone from the pegs when I was there also. I did pick up a Sane and another Triple H yesterday though. Then I went to Target and picked up a Network Spotlight Asuka.

Had a 'Hulk Hands' Rey Mysterio (E69? E70?), GB Rock, and nothing else. Grabbed Rock.

Weird how my Walmart completely skipped E72 and went straight to 73.

My WM went E68 69 68 68 70 71 72 73 70 So I think it’s all over the place right now Target is literally nothing but Top Pics 1 & 2 taking up all the Elite spaces and maybe a Fandango or something mixed in
