Just came home from Wal-Mart with the worst experience ever. Going into the WWE Figure aisle at least 75% of the figures were opened & lying around. Somebody had opened the figures to play with them without even buying them, If i had saw, I would have informed an employee. It's a shame too because 2 of the figures were ones i was gonna get. But what really angered me was somebody behind me grabbed a Matt Riddle Elite out of my cart that i was gonna buy & ran off. It was the only one available too  |

As I angrily picked up the tattered packages from the floor, I realized that each one was Hulk Hogan. Seconds before I entered the aisle a riot went down where Hulkamaniacs ravaged a workers box and left the remains on the floor. |

Yeah, you would’ve told an employee & someone grabbed a figure out of you cart & ran? Yup truly horrible. How will you ever recover? Geez.

Maybe someone lost a bidding war on a hogan figure and opened the figures in pure rage.

There was no Hulk Hogan figure at Walmart, Only some Basics of Elias, Jeff Hardy, The Hollywood Line & some battle packs, Along with the opened figures of Keith Lee, Bianca Belair, Cena, Styles, Rollins, & a few others.
What's all those Hogan references about? Just curious haha

What's all those Hogan references about? Just curious haha Welcome to wrestlingfigs. Stay here a while and you will understand. We are frequently treated to threads about how great hogan figures sell and occasionally supposedly true stories about bidding wars erupting or retail workers blowing up about said Hogan figures. Most true life retail experience stories around here tend to center around wild Hulk Hogan sales or outrageous behavior by retail workers or buyers/scalpers. |

On the plus side though, they stopped you buying a Matt Riddle figure... 😄

Seconds before I entered the aisle a riot went down where Hulkamaniacs ravaged a workers box and left the remains on the floor. I traveled that Wal-Mart for years searching for another worker. This was folly; none were left. All had become Hulkamaniacs. Riots overwhelmed every aisle, and as the store began to fall apart, its foundation tearing like a t-shirt stretched by 24-inch pythons, I let go of my material possessions and fled to the exit. There was nothing but water in every direction, an endless horizon. It was then I knew I was standing on the largest back in the world, dogpaddling us, backstroking all of us to safety. I thanked God, for I too had finally become a Hulkamaniac. |

I can't stop laughing.
I feel bad for people who come here expecting a relatively normal internet experience (whatever the hell that is) and are immediately greeted with this. It's like walking into what appears to be an ordinary Cracker Barrel for a nice dinner, only to find out that it's actually a sanitarium and the lunatics took over the joint six weeks ago.
That said, I'm sorry you had such a crap time, buddy. That's awful. I probably wouldn't go back to that walmart after that.

That said, I'm sorry you had such a crap time, buddy. That's awful. I probably wouldn't go back to that walmart after that. I was at Cracker Barrel and they had one Hulk Hogan Elite 34 mint in box marked for 70 bucks. As we were talking some guy asked if he could see so my buddy says sure and hands him the box, while that guy is looking at the figure another dude walks up and says I will give you 90 for it as the other guy was still checking the figure out LOL So the other guys says I will give you 95 lol and all of a sund a bidding war breaks out, long story short the dude that walked in bought the figure for 160 bucks! lol Any of you guys see anything crazy like this in regard to WWE Mattel figures and I'm not talking about the insane prices on ebay lol. |

Cracker Barrel?! Couldn’t have been Hogan, that’s the home of The Elite. It was probably an Unrivaled 1 Cody.

Granted, it was a 12 pack of Charmin but still, does happen.
