The Monroe store restocked series 1 today so I picked up Balor to finish series 1. And I purchased another Triple H to turn into a surfer Sting. And Benny still loves to photobomb after all these years. This was his first ever photobomb. And while at Walmart I met fellow board member fzmadness.

I saw series 1 at the store one time. I bought Warrior, Sting and HHH. Hoping to find that Macho Man.

I like the style of these figures and the story behind them, good for mattel for going out and doing this. my son loves playing with these I really hope they continue the series.

Complete series 2 MOC available for trade, hit the PM and check the link in my sig.
They have been punched, but the tabs are still attached and look fresh out of case.

Now now, I'm not a violent man, but expecting to see a dozen Finn & AJ Elite 74's & 4 Seth 75's everyday I walk into Walmart til at least Black Friday 2020 really set me off!!!

So how have these been doing at local Walmart stores in the US? How has distribution been? Have all the announced waves made it out into the wild? Are they peg-warming or have they been moving at a decent pace?
I’ve not heard much of anything said about the line, but I know AFA has said they’ve done great and it sounds like there will be more coming after these announced waves - does that tally with what you guys have been seeing?
There seems to be a lot of potential for cross-over here with fans of the Remcos, the Masters collectors, older WWE fans who played with Masters figures as kids, and potentially today’s kids given the fun nature of the figures - do you guys think they have been popular beyond the standard WWE market?

Outside of the Finn Balor, they seem to be moving very well in my area. I noticed WWE.com has an ad to purchase them off of Walmart's website despite the majority of them being out of stock. Macho Man seems particularly hard to find on Walmart.com and at retail.

Is your Walmart good at restocking, or is it the usual collection of AJs and Finns?

Is your Walmart good at restocking, or is it the usual collection of AJs and Finns? My Walmart is pretty average/good at restocking. Because it's a smaller store, the cases with a lot of one figure (like with basic 106 Finn Balor) tend to hang around a long time. The first cases seem to move pretty well, and that was the case for the Masters of the WWE Universe figures. Just Balor is left. Things tend to stall when they get the same series in a second or third time.

I found the series with Rock, Taker, Bray & New Day about an hour ago at the Monroe NY store. They had 1 of everyone minus Taker. I did pick up the Rock. I was going to get the New Day also, but decided to get The Complete series of the Starz Spartacus for $20.
