Everyone said Muraco wouldn’t be another Harley. I knew they were wrong I don't think the demand is great enough for it to be another Harley honestly.

Is this something that somebody from Mattel can confirm whether or not they are expected to hit stores?

Is this something that somebody from Mattel can confirm whether or not they are expected to hit stores? Someone from Mattel is answering questions in the thread below. Search for keywords to find any answers that have already been given. Tried searching on phone for ya but it would be better on a computer, I assume. If you find nothing on them, wouldn't hurt to post a question there. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/361113/action-figure-attack-official-threadStocking and distribution is usually left to retailers but he was able to clarify the Ghostbusters line was likely done in-store but were being made available online. EDIT: At last update, AFA said the sets were still expected to be available in stores. It's been a few weeks though.

I would like to know if Mattel considers the Survivor Series line as a success (or a good sell thru or whatever terms they use). While we as the collectors see it as a complete cluster f*ck
I’m also wondering in the initial order did Mattel not include a display for these? Because coming in (theoretically) Oct / Nov, I can’t see Wal Mart shifting their planogram to accommodate this line, at this time of the year
I think there’s a disconnect on them saying something is successful and us as the consumer saying something is successful. They sell the stuff and I guess their happy, but what equals out to be the face of their product keeps dropping the ball, left and right

I don't think anyone has found them at retail. Maybe well get them around Royal Rumble time. Glad I was able to get Muraco and Hardy weeks ago off of Walmart.

During survivor series weekend I was in Chicago at the Kevin Owens signing and they had an end cap with Alicia Fox on it. Not sure if reps from Mattel brought them or Walmart actually sent them but they were there.

The Muraco I reordered last week when they thought my order was lost arrived at the store today. It’s ready for pickup now.

I just saw that the price for Muraco is now down to $8.99 on Walmart for anyone that can get him. It sure seems I can't. If anyone can and would be willing to help me out I would greatly appreciate it

Yeah I saw that too. None of this ever made any sense. I'm guessing the late arrival of the Summerslam Elites and basics added to the over abundance of them backed up everything else and now these may never make it to the stores.
See below (yes, I'm guessing):
Late arrival of Summerslam figures
+ Over abundance of Summerslam figures -------------------------------------------------------
= Delay in other basics and Elites making it to Walmart
Result: Survivor Series figures dropped from Walmart retail plans in order to catch up.
I hope I'm wrong, I hope these still make it to the stores. The problem is, if they come now (after Christmas) figures like Nakamura and Alicia Fox will hang around forever and get in the way of the Wrestlemania figures at smaller Walmarts like mine. This would especially happen if they send a gazillion of each one to the smaller stores.

If anyone can and would be willing to help me out I would greatly appreciate it Was it from Walmart or a third party selling on WalWart? Because that Kids Warehouse site was selling the others on Walmart last week for the $8.99 price. I am pretty sure they bought WalMarts stock of them and that’s why they didn’t hit the actual stores and just WalMart.com

The $8.99 listing on Wal-Mart is a third party sale from Kids Warehouse.

Due to what Steve/AFA said... plus the lack of finding the set in stores across Oklahoma, Texas, and California... I just ordered Muraco off the 'Bay for $32 shipped. I'm not taking anymore chances. He's all I needed to have a complete set. I strongly advise others the same.

Confirmed 100% I don’t believe so Specialty stores like the wrestling guy and spam had them. They probably got them from Walmart.com I haven’t heard of anyone finding them on the pegs at a WalMart store.
