Taken from the Action Figure Attack Q&A thread, so we can discuss here.... And Walmart Canada? I received my pre-ordered RA Kevin Nash but Undertaker, Austin and Bischoff were cancelled after two months. Will Canadian collectors have access to the Walmart exclusive RA and Superstars line (nothing past series 2)? Sooo..... you mean to tell me, that the Canadian Walmart website is also cancelling these online orders too??? I was under the belief that Walmart shipped all of series 4 to Canada just to get rid of them..... but this Canadian user is reporting HIS orders were cancelled (including series 4). What is going on with this series?? Why is it so difficult to track them down? I'll expand, no RA series hit store shelves (at least not that I've seen or around me). Walmart ca had Shelton, Cena and Nash listed. Those shipped a over a month past the listed date. They also had Taker, Austin and Bischoff for pre-order and those all got cancelled. As for Superstars, some areas around Canada received series 1, series 2 is collecting dust and series 3 Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior were listed online, not sure if those actually shipped to anyone. |

Okay thanks for clarifying; Here's where we currently stand, as I see it; Please correct me if I'm missing something. * Series 1 (Batista, HBK, Brock) was on regular shelves last Fall, I think? I wanna say October/November 2022. These were mostly available everywhere, I know I saw them at numerous Walmarts. * Series 2 (Booker T, Rey, and RVD) appeared in U.S. Walmarts as part of the Wrestlemania Shipper, like January-ish? which was a mix of several series, 'Mania Elites, Mainline Elites, & RA Series 2. They disappeared pretty quickly. * Series 3 (Nash, Shelton, Cena) appeared in U.S. Walmarts on the WWE2k Shipper, like April-ish? Some Walmarts placed them in random parts of the store, not with the wrestling figures, and sometimes not with the Toys (?).... many reported never seeing this shipper. These also disappeared pretty quick & we didn't see any restocking, in my area. * Series 4 (Bischoff, Austin, Taker) appeared in Spring 2023 on the Canadian Walmart website. Not available to U.S. collectors; Now we're hearing that these orders were later cancelled. * Series 4 (Bischoff, Austin, Taker) were ABSENT from the Wrestlemania 39 AXXESS displays. When asked in the Q&A, Steve said they were still on tap to be avaialable in U.S. Walmarts. Odd that they were missing from the display though, am I right? * Series 5 (Torrie, Edge, JBL) late June, 2023, starts appearing on Walmart shelves via Walmart's regular distribution system; So I guess my question is - what's going on with Series 4? It certainly looks like it got skipped over, but where did they go? I had assumed they sent them to Canada but if those online orders were cancelled..... these figures seem to have been swallowed up by the Walmart Vortex..... Steve indicated on the Q&A that RA Series 3 & 4 be on the Summerslam shippers - - - which is nice, but I'd expect the Summerslam shippers to also include Summerslam Elites. Which leaves a minimum amount of slots for two sets of RA figures..... what, each Walmart would get one of each figure (MAYBE)? |

I've been lucky to find all series at least once at my local Walmart (South Texas), but Series 4 has not shown up and now we're seeing Series 5 pop-up in California which could mean that's the very next one to pop-up. |

MVP vanished in my cart while ordering, alas. Did get the others I did not have. Miz must have went within 5 minutes, never saw it.
