So you would think mattel knows this is an issue an should actually address it with walmart right ? I dont know, i am just speaking crazy talk. As long as Mattel is making money, they’re not going to care. That’s not a knock on them, just why would they? The stock is getting out to stores, it’s just being distributed atrociously. Walmart makes Mattel money. Mattel isnt going to ruffle feathers or pull back exclusive lines just because the consumer is unhappy. That is so true and I've said it here more than once. I'm still coming to personally despise both of them for it though 🤷

Does anyone have a picture of this Summerslam display? Is it a big aisle display like the WM39 display was?

Didn’t AFA say they were addressing it in the Q and A thread? AFA seems like he wants to address this and keep Walmart and the fans as happy as he is able to.

I’ve been to multiple Walmart’s every day this week sometimes morning and night to find absolutely nothing!

New guy here.
Just yesterday I went to a Wal-Mart in Pittsburgh and they had the same Summerslam display that was posted above. Mixed in them were some greatest hits as well as some Series 99 and 100. Of the Ruthless Aggression in there, it was only Taker & Austin. Ended up just grabbing the Cena Series 100 mainly for the title (I know a better spinner is coming soon with RVD).
Went to 2 other Wal-Marts later; 1 had Bluetista & 1 HBK, while another had literally nothing but basics and even was sold out of AEW Figs.

I believe he said these were supposed to have RA 4 and 5. I already have RA3, so really hoping to find 4 & 5 soon.

Lots of people struck out of the WM display. (My store never got) Even more people struck out of the RA side panel. (My store never got it) And I had hoped for what Steve said, but honestly looking like I'm about to get the 3rd and strikeout. Whatever was said, so far nothing changed. Unless he was referring to the Monday night wars line, which idk. High doubt. It's not like it's an overstock issue. My store ONLY ever had 1 RA HBK, and 1 RA Brock. No 5 per case either literally just the 2 figures since RA came about. Like I said, as is nothing has changed. Until I'm proven otherwise steve talking about the summer slam display more or less is pr drivel at this point.

I can’t even believe it. I actually just got a shipping notification from Walmart for Kevin Nash. This is the 10th one I’ve ordered. They had cancelled on me 9 times. Could it actually be happening?
We’ll see what they end up sending. But I’m SHOCKED they are sending anything at all. If it’s something stupid like a Mysterio I’ll just return it.
Says it will be delivered Thursday so I’ll update then.

My area stores are loaded with new Basics, but I don't think this new shipper hit any of my four Walmarts. There's a fifth Walmart I could check like 30 minutes away, maybe tomorrow, we'll see. Seems like for all the Elites the stores in these pics got - - - my stores got flooded with Basics. And I've seen zero RA 5's at any of my stores either.

Yeah, that one shipper that might or might not make it to your local Walmart, yay! That doesn't help fulfill online orders and pre-orders, either. That's a huge problem, but shouldn't be as Target consistently proves.

Collectors, for like 12 years: Can we get an Eric Bischoff figure please please please?
Mattel: Sure can! His first time in the line figure will be a Walmart exclusive, probably one to a case, and the one after that will only be available with the purchase of another Elite ring that will cost about $150! You're welcome!
Collectors: ...wut

Credit: cordless2016 Thank you again for the pictures, it led to good luck for me. The endcap displays hit up here in my area. My first Walmart had the endcap and I managed to find it completely untouched. They had parts of Elite 98-101, including a chase 100 Andre (but not a regular) some Greatest Hits 1, some of the SS23 figures (but no Dolph or Zeus) about 6 or 7 WM39 figures, including one each of Savage and Rhodes, and a whole tray of RAA4, which also included 5 Bischoff figures, along with Austin and Undertaker. The second Walmart also put them up today, but it was picked through. The RA series with that was RA3, and they still had plenty of all 3 figures. There wasn't much else left, the only SS23 figure there was a Zeus, and the only WM39 figures I saw were of the Rock, but those were all over when the WM39 display was out a few months back.

I was fortunate enough to hit a fresh shipper/endcap this morning. Hadn't been touched as every row was filled to the back
Elite 97, 98, 99, 100, and 101 were all here. Multiple cases of each. Also there were 2x each of Jey Uso and Zeus Summerslam elites a few scattered Top Picks Cena, Lashley, Orton 1 Case of Greatest Hits Series 1 1 each of the Wrestlemania elites (Hogan, Rock, Dusty, Macho) And about 4 cases of RA Series 4 (Bischoff, Undertaker, Austin)
This store had remains of Greatest Hits Series 2, but those were in the aisle

Still nothing at my local WalMarts.
Even more odd, the figure aisles at my Targets are now pretty much empty.

Saw this one at Walmart and passed. Jacket looked super shiny/sticky too.
