Walmart Canada did not stock series 3 or 6
I managed to get Undertaker back in March of 2023 from WalMart.ca, albeit on an American card. So it seems like some of Series 3 was available briefly.

I've been getting the newer ones from Paulmart, between 24.99 to 29.99 shipped which isn't to bad considering gas, tolls, and the torture of going to wal-mart hoping they have them, when they have empty pegs or peg warmers. the Perfect Bam Bam wave is the tough one so far. the Wyatt Sicks would look great in this form Rowan and Lumis with their masks could fit in great with the Masters of the WWE and Masters origins, Turtles of Grayskull.
They have a hit with this line but the wrong retail partner.

Do we know the case count for the cactus and hart wave? Hoping that Jack is doubled up since he’s a 2 in 1.

I’m predicting before Halloween that wave 12 will hit eBay from the usual sellers.

I hope noone falls for this. Obviously on a manipulated package. You can see where they opened it. I did walk into 5 walmarts and 4 targets today (from newark nj, to reading pa) to get a look at prices and was blown away at the.... ...Absolute lack of wwe merchandise Most wms had: 0 superstars 0 elites O mnw O ultimates O basics even 0 summerslam 0 knuckle crunchers 0 belts 0 cages And just a few aew Targets are a little better but only really the bigbossman as a blues brother and some vehicles are whats left I dont know if this is the same back west but it is completely dry as the sahara here in the northeast. Looks like i havent missed a thing. I thought kane would be a pegwarmer but looks like s9 was skipped. It feels like s6 all over again. Would not surprise me if dealers bought the majority of s9-11. S11 especially is being sold in absolute abundance by sultan. It really does look like 3rd parties are getting first picks. If i was a reseller i would buy s11 over 9 and 10 as well since it includes a chase (razor) while the other 2 dont. I have more faith that s12 will get stocked than 9,10 or 11. S12 will see mysterio being the pegwarmer without a doubt as noone wants him even at dirtcheap prices on paulmart and he is still not sold out there. Saw a few stores with mountains of red pants hogan. They are so clueless at walmart. 2024' with communication literally at your fingertips and they are waiting for a new upc lol. in all honesty i really believed steve when he said things would change in 2025 but i really doubt it now if walmart cut down their orders again. At this rate people have no choice but to buy from sultan. Steve has an absolute duty to let us know if the majority of s9-11 figures was bought up by these ebay sellers or if this is a regional issue still. Why does the northeast constantly get neglected? If this dry spell continues people will simply give up and collect something else. I am the perfect example, instead of buying superstars for the past 6 months i have been buying neca and reaction fifgures heavily. Mattel is just shooting themselves in the foot. Even the turtles of grayskull figures are barely available other than at a few targets. What gives man? And instead of giving people the ability to buy these direct with mattel we have to buy at a markup from some sultan at war? Everything is backwards. And once people get too far behind they quit. This isnt rocket science. By february i will probably be 5 series behind still. The truth will come out eventually but it is clear as day that online dealers are ordering the brunt of most lines now and cutting out BOTH target and walmart. If a figure like kane at 2 per case isnt even hanging anywhere in the country by now than that is all the proof i need.

I saw Kane about a month ago at a reading pa Walmart, maybe even Kurt angle don't remember for sure on that one. I did see boss man twice at Palmyra pa Walmart and Kurt angle there for sure. NEVER saw Tatanka once. I'll be making my voyage tonight around the area to see what's out there. I am UP TO DATE on ALL superstars. I am awaiting the next ones due out. Lebanon PA has had older superstars show up on the shelf RICK RUDE, MACHO MAN, EARTHQUKAE TYPHOON.

It's been a minute since my local wally has got anything new in again. They got 1 case of the Bulldog, Ali, and Kane set over a month ago. Been stuck on the Andre, hogan, and doink wave ever since.

walmart blamed their shipper years ago on these between mattel/walmart/shipping I don't know who is to blame, bottom line is walmarts in my area suck right now, everything is down number wise. The one walmart this morning had earthqukae typhoon 2 rocks and 2 million dollar mans which means someone bought rude and macho mans. If the stores have it that bad these BETTER not show up at Ollies in the future. I understand but I don't how mattel can say "superstars is selling great" when distribution is that horrible. If you talking about 3rd party sellers buying and selling them I'm sure business is great. Hopefully things change after christmas.

That explains why this figure is warming shelves everywhere- why would you make a figure of Hogan that is not either Hulk Hogan or Hollywood Hogan 2 per case?! Did they seriously believe that this figure would be flying off shelves?! Andre should have been 2 per case, he is more popular and recognizable than Terry Boulder (a non WWE character that only hardcore wrestling fans would know). If Andre was more plentiful than 1 and many others would have had a better shot of finding this figure. Some real head scratching decisions with this line lately, lineup choices and case packaging have been off the mark compared to when the line first began.

Andre most definitely shoulda been the one they doubled up on. He was easily a 3 in 1 (trunks with big hair, trunks with short hair/WM1, heel with singlet) making you wanna buy multiples for that reason. Plus it’s Andre. The biggest heel threat of the 80s and a name that is recognizable outside of wrestling fandom.

Well, maybe there's hope for some of us because I found these today, and they were at a Walmart I was at two weeks ago and they weren't there then.

Wow, i had completely forgot(or maybe missed entirely) that Steamboat and Jake are coming to this line. I've been a little butthurt that this line seems to be gatekept at the $30 price point-seemingly for me anyway. Need to figure out if im okay paying that for those two.

So the truth has come out. Sultan 100% is getting these figures from mattel but not how you think. Mattel is providing him with individual figures at demand Look below. You will see it has a mattel sticker that says mr.perfect, 4 figures and a code that says: HLN30 That is the actual code for mr.perfect. look at the bottom of his feet. All figures have a code. Bambam is next in the assortment with the code HLN31. we've all been duped. Mattel is directly involved with 3rd parties. Sultan also ships (out of) 25 minutes from el segundo and only needs to take the 110 freeway > 405 to get there in a heartbeat. He may even just be picking them up every day. Sickening lack of transparency. IT WAS ALL A LIE.
