Hi everyone, new collector here. Does anyone know why the WWE section at Target and Walmart’s are very small compared to other figure lines where they have a decent amount of space? Also, why are the WWE figs never stocked whereas all of the other figure lines are almost always stocked? Thanks!

Seems to me like they get the new figures and they fly right off the shelves and it takes them forever to get new cases in?  As if they dont have faith in the wwe figures |

To quote the Major Wf Podcast: D-d-d-d-distribution problems. The problem with my Target is they keep getting cases of the Top Talents sets and nothing else. Before Christmas, all WWE figures were on sale and that got rid of most of them. Last time I was in Target New Years Day there was more.
Surprisingly, on Christmas Eve I saw the Elite set with Daniel Bryan and Aleister Black. That set just recently went in stock on Ringside so I was surprised. I regret not grabbing Black since I’m a fan and he’s finally getting a push on the main roster

When traveling to Ireland to see family, the wrestling figure section at Smyth's is insane compared to American stores. Wish we had that here.

There are four Walmarts in my area....
From what I can tell - they seem to only get WWE toys in one day per week (I think it's usually Tuesday night).
On this day each week - it seems that each Walmart only gets in ONE case of ONE type of figure (example, one week - they get a case of Basics. The next week, they get a case of Battle Packs. The next week, they get a case of Elites).
The good stuff is usually gone within a few hours - and the pegs sit empty again until the following week, or for several weeks until that type of figure comes in again.
I miss the days of Kay Bee toys - where it seemed like a small store inside a mall was half-filled with JAKKS Classic Superstars at any given time..... LOL. Collecting in 2019 is a wasteland, filled with empty pegs, skipped series, & disappointment.
Seems the death of Toys R Us really killed collecting in the U.S. - once Walmart didn't have TRU as competition - they just started stocking the bare minimum.

Around me target gets a case of elites a week. By Friday they're gone. Been that way for a couple months. Basics and battlepack maybe every other week and a few sit
Wal-Mart is about the same except they get a case once a month of elites
Both stay stocked with rings and toy belts

My stores can barely stock the action figures but don’t you worry, there’s always three unopened boxes of the kids sized toy belts on the top rack just in case they run out of Smackdown Tag Team titles

Less belts, more Elites should be produced. Simple stuff really. Belts don't sell and they're over-producing at this point. Elites are CRIMINALLY under-produced or at the very least, distributed and allocated poorly.
