Have these hit stores yet? The last of the Fast & Furious Cena and Rocks finally clearanced out of our Walmrts here in TX a couple of months ago but I’ve yet to see Wave 2.
Really wanting a Bigfoot Andre. There’s some on EBay for $80+…really hoping I didn’t miss out on this one at retail price. Anyone else seeing them in their areas?

Wow, I didn’t take the time to see Andre was in demand. I was purging preorders that I wasn’t thinking I wanted anymore recently and cancelled my preorder of 2 Andres that I placed whenever they went up. It looks interesting but I have zero sentimental attachment to what it depicts. I was mainly hooky to find Scorpion King but have expecting that one to be the John Nada of this wave.

I've had Andre bigfoot and scorpion king rock since around the end of March/beginning of April, I passed on the roman because I don't want it but they still had him a couple weeks ago was about 6 there along with the Cena and rock fast movies abundance thats still not moving even on clearance for 10 bucks
Scorpion king rock isn't all that great once out of the box is missing details but I still think the jakks version is way better than this one

Trying my best to secure 2 of the Scorpion King figures and failing miserably (U.K. based) so any help from anyone in Canada would be hugely appreciated!

I wouldn't be surprised if Wave 2 never makes it to the shelves in the US, at least not in large numbers. The Ruthless Aggression figures seem ready to go, so the window is closing to get Hollywood 2 out.

Useless...all of them. |

I knew it!  I'm concerned that the window is closing to get WWE Hollywood series 2 on the shelves in the US. Is there enough time for Walmart to get this series properly distributed before Ruthless Aggression takes it's spot during the next reset? We’re working on an alternative way of getting wave 2 to you guys. |

So Bigfoot Andre is now up at RSC for a whopping $40. I’m all for mark ups and profit margins, but charging literally DOUBLE what this figure was supposed to retail for at Walmart is  ing disgusting. Maybe this is the new scam going forward. Make sure figures like MOTU and Hollywood don’t make it to Walmart but conveniently go straight to RSC for maximum profits. Curious to see who’s skimming or getting kickbacks here. |

How does Walmart get so many exclusive lines and they barely ever show up? What happens to these figures?
And how the hell did some random Canadian dude luck out and find so many cases of the Harley Race wave?
Walmart pretty much keeps everything stocked but store exclusives. Makes 0 sense.

I just wish Walmart fulfilled their online orders for this. Andre is pretty cool- worth retail price but not something I’m willing to pay a markup for.

It seemed like a good idea, but Mattel was limited in what they could do and even so, made some headscratching choices. Why have The Rock in a sarong when they couldve made one of him in DSS gear and reuse some Shield parts?  |

They Live Piper is up for a reasonable $24.99 for all the folks who had trouble finding him.
I’d love to know the rationale behind Bigfoot Andre being $40 though. Just pure greed.

I pre-ordered it last October from Walmart and still haven't gotten it, but Ringside has plenty for double the price. It's really aggravating and I won't pay it either. I wanted this figure pretty badly, but now I couldn't care less. |

Yeah, that was bizarre. He sold that wave for months on Ebay (I bought the entire series from him myself), it was a seemingly endless supply. |

Curious to see who’s skimming or getting kickbacks here. I keep telling you guys this, retailers are not demanding toy exclusives. Its only walmart and target right now and they can live without them. If tomorrow both of these retailers stopped selling wrestling figures they be perfectly fine. They could sell more of something else to fill the shelf space. Mattel needs walmart and target much more than they need them, period. People at mattel saying "Walmart and Target and demanding exclusives" are lying to you. If they really cared you would not continue to see walmart and target exlcusives showing up on rsc constantly. I am waiting for rsc to get the baf jimmy hart set so i don't have to pay $50 for the dakota kai figure, hopefully only a few more months. |
