Anyone else seeing stores with little to no stock during this holiday season? Most stores I've been to have very little to nothing on the shelves. Not that it is selling as soon as it is out either. They cleared out old stock and not getting anything new. Wondering if this is the case everywhere else too??

My walmart store was empty for weeks and weeks before the shippers started arriving.
Now there is at least something on the pegs. The new figures are selling though.

There's only one Target that's 30 minutes away from me that has 10 Eddies, 5 Orndoff's, 2 Jakes, and 1 Warrior for the Legends line. 1-2 figs from E79, 2 figs from E78, a brand new restock of UE Series 3, Top Picks 2020, and 2 Joe's from the SS set all just sitting on the pegs or on the shelf because of overflow on the pegs.
Every other Target's and Wal-Mart's are completely dry as a desert.

I've been out looking a lot.
All I see at Walmart is basic AJ Styles, few Elite Miss Elizabeths, and tons of AEW championships.
My Target yesterday actually had Ultimate Triple H & Balor. Two each so they must have just put them out.

If you don’t live in even a small city your shelves are empty. I discovered the difference between my normal stores and city stores when I moved for college

Walmart has sucked with stocking wwe figures all year for about 2-3 years now I think the major issue is the on-hands at stores are way off. No one fixes the problem and then stores go long stretches of no figures. |

I have no idea how the inventory works but Layaway at Wal Mart’s may affect the counts
Mine has had like 1 or 2 - 8 piece Elite cases since September (when layaway started). That was both E78
Never got the shipper, E77 or E79

Shelves have been empty at this point literally years and I don’t get it. We were Def having this same discussion last year. I just left Target and the two action figure aisles in general were just empty. I don’t get it.

Walmart: Sorry we don't have any Elites or AEW Figures, however, you can get this Top Talent 2018 AJ St- wait we don't even have that? ok well i guess you can't get that, so go home

We need a real chain of toy stores like the original ToysRUs. The lack of a huge chain toy store has hurt availability and prices. I am surprised no one has filled the void. Perhaps being a collector has me blinded to the true need for a chain of toy store.

Our distribution in Canada is crazy. We can go months with nothing then sometimes get stuff super early. We skipped Legends 7 and went straight to 8 a little after you guys got them then elite 77 came out before 75 and now it seems like we went from elite 79 to 81 and 82

Last year they were pumping out elite 71, 72 and 73 like crazy. Soon as they hit shelves they were gone and restocked a couple days later. This year, miles and miles of elite 77 Ronda and AJ

Last Walmart I've visited had E79 Shirai and Bryan (which the Bryan was new) with no sign of other Elites or shipper. Had restocked Basics with a case of the Yim wave.
I was late for the shipper at the other store, about a month ago.

I haven’t seen Elites at WalMarts lately but I could have missed them. I know the last few waves of Basics hit and were gone within a day of them being out. In one week we hit a WalMart in five different days for stuff for my father-in-law during his last days. And each day I checked the figure aisle. And the first day they had the “best of”, the next day those were gone and they had the basic wave it Kanellis. The next day those were gone and in their place was the Monday Night Messiah Rollins wave. (B112) the following day those were gone and the Best of wave was restocked. The following day there was a lone Roman left from the best of assortment along with what looked to be two cases of (B113) the set with the Disciple Murphy. And they were gone by the end of the weekend. Because the Monday there was nothing left.
