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. So I was back at this Walmart this evening, 3 days after the display went up, and a number of the figures are gone - but it looks like no one purchased any of the RA4 Undertakers or Austins. Kind of surprising as these are not at the other Walmart in town, and I have a feeling these may end up the shelf warmers of the set. |

I finally found the Summerslam shipper this evening. It was across from the toy aisle, but literally sat on a pallet in the middle of the store. The only Ruthless figs were series 3. I just need Torrie, MVP and The Rock and I’ll be done with the RA’s…then it’ll be Monday night wars time….

Austin and taker are big stars but the first Mattel Eric bischoff should not have been short packed in favor of them |

Austin and taker are big stars but the first Mattel Eric bischoff should not have been short packed in favor of them Big stars, yes… but these figures aren’t the most sought after versions of the guys. A plain Undertaker with a weird color blue jeans. Than an Austin in those camouflage pants and terrible head. Nobody is after these figures, therefore flippers/re-sellers aren’t going to snag them up. People want Bischoff, so they’ll buy all the Bischoff’s to make a quick buck. I just paid $47 shipped for an Eric Bischoff and I’m disgusted with myself. But other than checking stores daily, I don’t see myself finding any figures in-store at WalMart. |

Just coughed up $42 shipped for a Bischoff.
Probably saved money in the long run in fuel and time.
Split over 4 payments of ~$10, doesn't hurt so bad. Klarna is my new punching bag for poor Mattel distribution.

For those in Canada, series 1, 2, and 5 are now on Walmart.ca, but a few have went out of stock.
Series 3 and 4 are there, as they have been for a while, but still listed as out of stock.

Did four Walmarts today, New Castle Delaware, Oxford PA, North East Maryland, and Elkton Maryland. No shippers. spotted RA Austin & Taker at one of them (I think Oxford). Lots of Basics and a few Elite 102's at the other ones. Didn't see any Bischoffs or RA 5 anywhere....
I only got a $7 Ted Dibiase Superstars off a clearance peg. Figured I needed SOMETHING to make the drive worthwhile.
Finding a shipper would have been nice. I think I'm giving up on that, LOL. I'm happy for everyone that got the shippers, though.

By the time this is all said and done, which of the 18 RA figures will have been the hardest to come by, and which has been the easiest? Since they first came out, in stores I have found: Lesnar - 10 HBK - 10 Batista - 10 RVD - 4 Rey - 2 Booker - 2 Cena - 0 Nash - 0 Shelton - 0 Austin - 30 Taker - 30 Bischoff - 1 JBL - 0 Torrie - 0 Edge - 0 Rock - 0 Miz - 0 MVP - 0 |

I am a teacher by trade, wife is taking the kids on a playdate tomorrow, which means that I am going to go hunt. I have seen 1 shipper 2 days ago, but the Walmart nearest me had an endcap cleared off, which I am assuming will be their shipper (endcap was cleared off as of 2 hours ago, going to check it when it opens for the first stop on my hunt). I am in the DFW area and if anyone else is, I am happy to be an extra set of eyes and ears tomorrow...

I’ve been to about 20 Walmarts in southern California as well as the Mattel store in El Segundo and I have only found the Summerslam endcap twice. I’ve found one store with Torrie Wilson and zero shops with the Austin, Undertaker, Bischoff sets. Distribution for this series suckkks.
