It’s looking like they’re going to hit retail fairly soon. Taken from Steve's Q&A thread. I would never take a deeper dive into a question/answer there but I'll sure do it here.... The original question is about Series 3.... didn't that already hit Walmart, on the shippers? Series 3 is the one with Nash..... did they mean Series 4? I'm desperately hoping to get the RA Eric Bischoff...... and I have concerns it won't be found easily..... I'm confused by the question..... And the answer..... he said "going to hit retail fairly soon"..... he didn't say Walmart. Should we be expecting these at discount shops? Burlington, Big Lots, Ollies? and what does "fairly soon" mean? By December? Not trying to be a jerk..... honestly just want some clarity on when/where to expect to find these. I mentioned before that Mattel told me Series 3 would have another shot at retail in July, so I assume that’s what he’s referring to. I could see 3 and 4 being available around the same time though. |

This line is the absolutely the worst distributed wwe line of all time. Take a bow mattel and walmart, you did it.  |

Well I took a shot and ordered 3 from Walmart last week and just like Chicago I got a case of series 2. Exactly what I was hoping to get since I never saw RVD at retail so I'm glad I was able to finally add him to the collection. Unfortunately the packaging does have some minor damage but I'm just glad to not have to pay 3rd party prices for it. I truly don't understand why Walmart can't send these to stores. Why they are sitting on cases of these to fulfill online orders is beyond me. Anyway I already found the Booker & Rey while on vacation in March so those will be returned to Walmart in the next few days and since I was one of the lucky ones to snag series 3 from the shipper in March I guess you can call me caught up. Hopefully the distribution on series 4-6 is better than the first 3 waves.  |

By December? Not trying to be a jerk..... honestly just want some clarity on when/where to expect to find these. You'll find them on Ebay or, if you're lucky, at the discount stores you mentioned (if you beat the guys who buy them all in those stores as well). Walmart is Walmart, and Mattel already got paid for these figures so they don't care where they end up. That's not being a jerk, that's just being real. |

Just seen where Nash was considered out of stock but Benjamin and Cena could be added to the cart on Walmart’s site, so I submitted an order for the latter two. There were three left of Benjamin and seven left of Cena when I checked out. Both should ship by early next week. I’ll update if anything changes.

I had all of series 3 in my cart this morning and then they were gone by checkout. I got an e-mail at 2:20 saying they were back, but I didn’t see it until 3 and they were gone. Guess it’ll be a game of checking here and there. Of course them actually shipping is another matter.

I’ve ordered Kevin Nash like 7 times from the Walmart app,…..all have been eventually cancelled. It’s really ridiculous. I just want ONE. I doubt it’ll ever happen, though lol.

So that tells me all i need to know. This line is the worst distributed mattel/wwe line of all time. Online or in store these figures are impossible to obtain. Any comments Action Figure Attack ? |

Seems like he hasn’t been around here that much since the failure of the crowd fund. |

I really only want Taker, Bischoff and JBL, maybe Edge, and I’ll be good in this line
I’m gonna try to limit what I get from the upcoming MNW line because Walmart can’t handle exclusives correctly

Surprised we didn't get a Randy Orton in this line... he was one of the main new stars of the era (along with Brock, Cena and Batista).

None of the stores in my area got a shipper or a sidekick display for RA series 2 or 3, or any cases at all.   Walmart just needs to put this line out of its misery. What is the point of empty tags that never get stocked ?? |
