This line a yet another in the long line of "exclusives" that can not get to stores even though they are still not competing with anyone else.
So here is what is going to happen, the line will go on for another year. They will be impossible/difficult to find in stores.
3rd parties will some how still magically get a whole bunch of these to sell, then the line will finally be done/cancelled.

I strongly believe that's one of the main reasons the WWE/MOTU line went downhill so quickly. It was like every other wave or so was impossible to find, while the wave before it flooded the shelves. Wave 7 with Andre didn't even make it to stores as far as I know. Same goes for the Hollywood Elite line, and we all know what happened there. |

Before the seemingly inevitable demise of the line I hope we get a Kane and Dusty Rhodes

Series 1 and 3 and Series 2 Warrior have been plentiful in the walmarts around me. And everyone has been fairly available online. Hall, Nash, HBK, Warrior, Taker, Rock, Typhoon are all on walmarts website for $19.97. You could of got Flair, Bray, Hogan, Mankind, Honky Dibiase all on the website at $19.97 last year. So while I somewhat agree with you, this series is much easier to purchase online for the same price as in stores. Also the Legends line at Target has also been easy to find online and in stores. The exclusives are much easier to purchase then they ever were in the past. Can't deny that |

With Walmart not shipping internationally, it is very frustrating to not be able to get these figures.
In addition, most Ebay sellers do not ship to my country, Argentina.

The exclusives are much easier to purchase then they ever were in the past. Can't deny that They're easier to purchase today in theory, but Walmart.com has done a pretty poor job fulfilling orders. In my experience they cancelled my preorder for Ultimate Warrior when my store had about 5-8 of them sitting on the shelf. IIRC a bunch of people on this thread had similar experiences with the HBK, Nash and Hall figures. It just doesn't make a lot of sense why Walmart is shipping to stores and (inadvertently) making them available through 3rd parties while leaving their online orders unfulfilled. All that said, I really hope this line can find a way to persevere through all of this. I didn't think a line could supersede retros for me in terms of my favorite line, but Superstars just do it for me. I think they look absolutely immaculate posed up on a shelf as an ensemble. I'm really hoping we can get as many characters as possible in the line before it goes away. |

Just got in. I tried to avoid it, but I found Dibiase, Mankind, Honky, and Taker on Clearance at Walmart (Wyatt too, but I don't want him). Bought Shango afterward, and ordered Shawn off of Walmart.com (I saw Shawn, Hall, and Nash at Walmart in Canada but I was still trying to avoid buying them at the time). Looking forward to the Disasters now. I hope the line continues so we get guys like Perfect, Andre (even though I have the MOTU one), Macho King, Demolition, Road Warriors, and of course 80's Hogan. I prefer these to Retros, which just don't do it for me.

I just hate ordering these online since all the ones I've had to order from Walmart.com have come in bubble mailers and destroyed. And even the one order I had that arrived in a box most were beat up, even though the shipping box was perfectly fine. I think out of the 8 or so I've ordered I've only received 1 that was in good enough shape for me to justify keeping for the MOC collection. All the rest were returned to the store.

The card is pretty cheap and even the best ones seem to come warped / banged up. |

Before target got its act together with the legends line people where complaining in droves about target and there online ordering mess.
Now walmart has decided "hold my beer" and take the crown as the worst. So people will still try to preorder these and a lot of the orders will get cancelled, rinse and repeat.

Ive never seen Scott Hall or Shawn Michaels in store. Nash only at one store. All others have been pretty common in most stores around my area. They r clogging up everywhere though. Dont see this line going on long.

All the M$M, Papa Shango, Bray and one other figure were now in the clearance aisle tonight for $15. Meanwhile Taker, Warrior & Mankind we’re still in the regular aisle at full price.

Walmart has been the worst since before the Pandemic hit. I have placed at least 50 preorders since the start of 2020 and all except one have been canceled. The day the order is supposed to be delivered I get a delay email. Then within the next two days it’s canceled. Every single preorder and this past year it’s happened at least 75% of the time with in stock items. |

Seeing that the Hall and Nash apparently aren't going to be hitting retail the other day I decided to give Walmart another chance and ordered two of each hoping that one of each would arrive in good enough shape to keep for the MOC collection. Well they arrived today and even though they were in a box this time all 4 still arrived with warped cards. Well since I don't want to try this again I took the best looking ones and put a couple heavy book on the carding to flatten them out. Luckily they weren't heavily creased and I'm going to be able to salvage them enough to keep. So now I'm finally caught up and ready for series 4.

I’ll buy the other two from you if you wanna sell them at a decent price, I don’t care about the cards being creased. |

Walmart's inconsistencies is a huge reason I decided to pass on this line. Not worth the trouble or aggravation for me.
