My Superstars Macho Man was due to be delivered tomorrow..... 2nd delay.... Ordered 10/21.... for delivery 12/2.... delayed until 3/3...... now delayed until 4/19. I guess - at least they didn't cancel it? Yet?  Yup, think this is the last time I even bother trying to preorder these figures at retail. Just a complete waste of time trusting Walmart. I think this is the last Superstars figure I'm going to buy (if it even comes at all)..... I refuse to pay above retail for these. They're cute/cartoony and I get the throwback to Remco figures - it's a neat idea - and not worth a penny more than $22 for me to add to my collection. DEFINITELY not worth the aggravation of trying to hunt these things down, negotiate with scalpers, and pay hefty shipping fees, and wait 6-8 months for them to actually ship..... |

Looks like the Ruthless Aggression set that went up at the same time got delayed too. I guess the WM shipper is supposed to sell through for the next month? I'm assuming the pegs will remain empty of full of figures from early 2022. Should also mention I had a Funko order due tomorrow that also got punted a week. They just suck at everything I guess  |

After Walmart canceled my Wave 3 pre-orders, I'm not holding my breath, but hopefully they actually ship them... |

It would be nice if those shippers kept getting restocked, but I have a feeling it will just be rings, and maybe some forklifts and a 2-pack or two for most of the month... |

I'm expecting Mr.T this weekend and while I would've like to have just paid the retail price of $20, I think what I paid for it was very fair considering.
For anything beyond this purchase, I'm cool with waiting it out. Without a ring for these guy, these are more one-off purchases for me anyway.

My orders got pushed back as well, no big deal. I usually find them at retail before Walmart ships them anyway.

Yep, my RA Shelton and NWO Nash were both suppose to ship tomorrow, but they’ve been pushed back yet again until April 20th. I absolutely hate Wal-Mart.

Yeah- they're a fun line, but my enthusiasm for them ahs gone down a bit, and I'm going to be somewhat picky with which ones I buy. Hopefully they'll continue to do ones that lend themselves well to soft goods- it'd be awesome to see Big Boss Man, The Godfather, or maybe some of the DX guys in shirts and jeans with wrestling gear underneath, for example. |

LOL that thought never even crossed my mind.... they don't stock the regular shelves and this is supposed to be EXTRA figures...... I figured the thing comes down as soon as the figures are gone. |

Felt good cancelling all those Walmart preorders. Paul’s mart is the store to go to. Should be his exclusives honestly.

I like that Mattel keeps it somewhat simple with the store exclusives. As a former Funko pop collector, I remember the nightmare of trying to track down exclusives from stores I had never heard of or didn’t realize were still in business like FYE

These pointing hands are comically tiny on these Motu style bucks lol. I wanted to pose Mr. T in the same pose as the WM1 poster but that ain't happening.

These are mostly warming the legs at my local Walmart. Taker, Hogan, Papa Shango, Bray, Million Dollar Man, and now recently they added Hall, Nash, and Michaels. I think the only ones I have seen sell are Mankind and Warrior. Such a shame. I don’t collect them but I love seeing them!

A few days later the pegs filled up again with the same ones for full price. |

Factoring in the free shipping it ends up being closer to the retail price. At least for a one fig transaction anyway. |

That’s pretty genius of Walmart though. |
