Still crazy how Mattel and Walmart haven’t figured out preorders
My Shelton got cancelled
Edge still saying august
Ultimates Eddie and Rey also august but I doubt they get fulfilled
Gonna blame walamrt since they’ve done this for other lines

Checked my Walmart and nothing Fb groups are literally buying whole displays so watch out All I’m seeing on fb is scalpers buying every single fig [br Yeah it sucks Walmart don't do street dates. Any stores that gets them, they immediately throw them up, instead of waiting for all stores to receive them. Scalper buys em up, forcing the local guy to travel further out, thus ing it up for those local collectors, whole can worms that just f'n sucks. And why is Walmart getting 90% of their exclusive in displays only? Make a perm location that's basic for all Walmart. Put top picks in displays, since these retail places "want" those faces at all times.

I found the summer slam display in Ohio today. It’s pretty crazy how loaded up it was. E97, E99, E100, including 2 Andre Chases, E101, including at least 6 Cody Rhodes, SS set, 1 of each, the newest WM set with hogan and the rock, and at least 10 each of RA3 Nash, Cena and Shelton

And even then it was only the endcap display one time that I saw.

That collectors are sad, single men? Or that you can only afford a $26 figure if you don’t have a spouse. Either way it’s a really bad joke.

I gave up and bought all of series 3 and series 4 Bischoff on Ebay. The Walmarts around me might as well be marked as national monuments because they havent gotten new figs in at least a year.
Did a little more digging today on my 4 Walmart Store search that turned up empty and noticed there isnt even a space on shelf for Elites. So I can continue wasting gas and effort or just bite the bullet. Praying to god that the next series after MNW is something garbage that I have no interest in.

Exclusives shouldn’t be this hard to find. Also, I hope the people buying out the shippers get stuck with all that product. in ass holes

Does anyone know (for real) how Walmart Online orders are physically fulfilled? Like any former employees, or maybe a friend of an employee, who handles these things?
Like, say I order an RA Edge from the website (if I could).... who receives my order? Is there a giant central Walmart warehouse somewhere in the United States with thousands of various products to be sent out for online orders? Is it handled at the regular distribution centers? Or is it filled at some designated store where the product might (should) be in-stock already?
When an online order is received, does some random store employee have to walk the aisles to find the products? Kind of like the "shoppers" do for curb-side orders? If they're received at a fulfillment center - does some employee have to open up cases to find a specific character? How are the thousands and thousands of items stored?
We've seen so many online orders cancelled on this forum, and I've had several myself.... I'm just trying to understand where the breakdown is, that someone is going to all the trouble to LIST these products that are supposed to be available to ship out .... and the designated products are never even available when it comes time to ship them off;
I mean - if they're just filling online orders at a random store, then I'm not surprised that most of these products are "out of stock" because the stores themselves are always out of stock. But if the online orders are being received at some sort of Walmart product fulfillment center, then I'm curious how/why they keep listing these wrestling toys when they don't have them on-hand to ship out;
Anyone have any insider info on the nuts & bolts of online ordering? How does it work (for real)? Please excuse my ignorance on the subject, I work in a different industry but I'd like to understand what's happening....
It still shocks me that nobody at Walmart sees hundreds and hundreds of online orders being cancelled on a routine basis and tries to improve whatever is broken in this chain of distribution.... and yes, I know - I'm probably trying to apply logic where there is none.

I was surprised to see the set with Bischoff, Taker and Austin in person at my local Walmart. Bischoff’s figure looks really good and the spare head came out excellent as well.

This set finally hit my local Walmart. Some a-hole cleared out the Bischoffs already.
Btw did I get a defective figure or is Stone Cold’s goatee so faint it’s pretty much non-existent? Spoils what is otherwise a really nice figure.

Absolutely nothing new at my local Walmart’s…but one location did put out more Superstars Ultimate Warrior…23 of them. Just left the Walmart across from my work about 30 mins ago and they have 5 elite 94 Stephanie McMahons.

The thought of it going to a store isnt one that I thought of previously but could totally see it as plausible. The VERY few times I have ordered something from Walmart online (drink mix, hair product, etc…) it seems to have come from a different local store, seemingly implying that the order does go out to the closest possible store with stock. That being said if you go all the way back to RA Series 1. I pre-ordered all 3 (HBK, Tista, and Lesnar) from the website, all 3 were constantly delayed, to the point where I walked into my local store the day of the 3rd delay email and found Lesnar and Batista on the clearance rack lol. So even if that is the way they manage these orders, clearly it doesnt matter and that process still doesnt work.

This is Alex Wests pic. I was ready to spend $100+ on this rock if I had to until I saw how short he was. Kinda ruins the figure for me. If I see it at retail I’ll buy it, but I won’t be paying aftermarket prices for it.
