Wouldn't be surprised honestly. You'd hope Walmarts buyer would know the difference between WWE and AEW and that they're buying from two different vendors, but who knows. |

Today I got a package from my buddy in the UK. He picked up Royal Rumble Vader for me. Upon looking at the back, I noticed that the figure came from Mattel Canada. Which I found really strange because we haven't got any new wwe elite product since Elite 91. So if they are making these figures why isn't Canada getting them? As a Canadian figure buyer I'm feeling ripped off.

I really have no reason to venture to the North end of the city now that there's a new Wendy's in the South end, other than TRU. So today I made the trek and wow. Other than the one wave of legends 16 we got, it has to be a 4-5 months since anything new has come out here. Just a bunch of Nia Jax and about 55 Unmatched Dark order figures, which are 25% off until Jan 18. They would probably have a hard time giving those away at this point. Was hoping to score the pink Molly, but no dice.

It's tough sledding out there. I am pretty much writing off retailers at this point. Lack of newer Elites at WM and TRU is ridiculous. I did see a Cody supreme at one Walmart just before Christmas. They seemingly went quick. Now it's all Brit Supremes tying up inventory.
Got a nice haul from RSC in December for my kids for Christmas though. Seems like that's the best option these days.

Feels like rock bottom for Canadian retailers.
I’m buying almost 100% of figures from ringside or cross boarder shopping trips.
Wish it was easier for us…

I think this goes to show that demand for wrestling figures in Canada is mostly driven by adult collectors. Once adult collectors get their hands on new releases, figures just sit at retail clogging shelves.
I don't see a lot of kids buying WWE toys. At least here in Vancouver, whenever I go figure hunting I'd say 80% of the time it's someone over the age of 25 looking at the wrestling section.

And now with price increases (most likely more to come) I can't see a parent spending over 35 dollars on one figure for their kid |

My Walmarts are still clogged with Kama Mustafa and Mae Young, with a few Hollywood Rock and Roman figures.
Put a pre-order in for Ultimate AJ Styles. $75 from RSC.
You love to see it.

I picked these up today while waiting for my doctor appointment at wallyword. I like the Becky side plates on the belt and The Usos are always tough to find. They also had the Roman/Cena pack but bleh.  |

Pre-ordered elite 100 from zedcollectibles.ca, as it was the cheapest I could find @ $33.99 each. I've used them before and they're pretty great. You have to spend $170 to get free shipping, but they if you order in-stock items along with the pre-orders, they'll ship out the stuff they have first. They also have a great instant messaging service on their site. I asked them something at almost midnight and they answered me back within minutes
