I don’t blame Mattel, I blame Walmart. The people who do the ordering aren’t good at it, and it’s not just with the WWE figures. Maybe it’s also a distribution center issue but damn, something needs changed for the better. not to defend walmart here, but i think it ends up just coming down to them("them" being whoever in the chain of command that makes this call) just not seeing toys as an important thing to focus on in 2023. not a great business plan by any means, but hey...it is what it is and unfortunately i don't think anything or anyone is going to change walmart's mind on it Well I said it’s not just with the WWE figures and what I meant is it’s not just with toys. |

They are available at the Mattel store in California. I’ve seen photos of them on shelves. That’s where lots are getting them from. The series 4 I won in a raffle received them from a mattel supplier directly he bought them from. I can’t fault these people though, make your money. People not being able to find these falls on Walmart and Mattel’s shoulders. It shouldn’t be this hard to find an action figure. That makes sense. Always the same sellers dumping them on Mercari from California lol Eeyup. SoCal. Home of Frank & Son. Excuse me. Frank & Scalpers. |

At least make them available on Walmart.com like Target does for their exclusives. All I want is Kevin Nash so I can finally complete my 2002 NWO. Visit uncle paul |

I paid $40 each on the 'Bay for RA3 Nash/Cena/Benjamin. I still haven't seen the WWE 2K23 sidekick. I don't regret paying that inflated price for peace of mind.
Am I a bit peeved I had to pay that price? Sure, 'cause $25 each at Walmart 5 minutes from my home would've been so nice. But... it it what it is, to get a complete collection. =\

It's more than just toys. Side story... I ordered tires from Walmart.com, which showed as "in stock" and I planned on picking them up that afternoon. They then changed the order to "ship to store" the same day. So I had to wait another week. Showed up at the store a week later, and my tires were still sitting in a warehouse somewhere, allegedly. But they printed my shipping label the day I placed the order, so Walmart sat on hundreds of dollars of my money for weeks. They gave me an updated estimated arrival of "tomorrow or next week." I gave customer service hell. It would take at least a week to process a refund. Walmart.com is not affiliated with Walmart. Walmart tires are separate from the auto center inventory. The auto center does not answer the phone and has no option to leave a voice-mail. I received the run around a million times over. So, yeah, it's not just figures. Walmart is not incompetent, they are negligent. There really is no excuse for how they run their operation. It wasn't always like this. |
