So through another thread I found out about this set of 4. I see it's on Mattel's website....did this set come out to purchase? If it hasn't when is it coming, and where is it being sold?
Thank you!!!

It’s a WalMart exclusive. They have been on their website off and on since late Oct-Early Nov. But they haven’t hit their actual stores yet.

Series is supposed to be exclusive to Wal-Mart in the US. Listings can be found on their website but the few that are made available at a time can sell thru quick (especially Muraco and Hardy). Haven't heard of one sighting in stores yet, despite the 2018 Survivor Series set being found around this time last year.
If you're looking for the entire set, I can vouch for a seller on an auction site that has them for a modest markup. Boxes are all great shape for MOC collection, the ones I received anyway.

Its not a Walmart exclusive. Kids Warehouse had them for 8.99 a piece last night on their website. Was able to grab a couple Muraco's and a Hardy and Alicia for 42 bucks shipped.

A discount retailer acquiring goods to sell does not negate their status as a store exclusive.

These considered "overstock" when they're not three months old and haven't been found in-store. Outrageous!

$8.99 for Muraco? Wow, what a deal. So is this where all the stock for Wal-Mart's actual stores went?

They could have felt they over ordered like last year’s Survivor Series and Network Spotlight figures where only a few WalMarts put them out and then they were found at Big Lots/Ollie’s soon after.

Wish I knew about KW sooner. Going to have to cross my fingers and hope they show at retail.

Yes, plus the concept of PPV sets to advertise the events lend them the perception of time-sensitivity, so not getting them out early may hurt them in retailers' eyes. Every set besides Summerslam '17 Balor and Mankind and the first WM 30 seem to pop up clearanced or at closeout stores.

Damn, SS figs on clearance at another retailer site already ? Nice job Wallyworld & Mattel, glad I got my Muracos off the WM site last week. Yeah, these won't be on WM shelves then.

Is that a legit website? Has your order shipped? I just checked out the site. They have nakamura and fox up for $8.99. That’s crazy man. Especially with most everyone having to buy them 2nd hand for double retail. And the lucky few that got him from Walmart’s site having to refresh every 5 min to find him.

They actually still have Shinsuke and Alicia on the site for 8.99 right now and some other figures on there for 8.99. . You can use the code SAVE5 to get 5 bucks off of a 50 dollar purchase as well.

You've even posted in the Q&A thread with Steve, yet you still have to get that jab in at Mattel that this is their fault. JFC. Is it a compulsion?

Wow I wonder how many Muraco’s they had.

Everyone said Muraco wouldn’t be another Harley. I knew they were wrong

If myself or a lot of collectors on wfigs, did get a job at Mattel that had clout, you bet your butt. I also buy their products, not as much as in previous years. If you think it's just Walmart's doing, then you're fooling yourself.
