these things are so frustrating. like, tons of stuff, but only 1 case of each main elite series so they are gonna go all to one person leaving nothing left for anyone else. i dont understand retail, i just don't. 70% of that shipper is going to be sitting in every walmart for the next 8 months. i live in a pretty populated area, i hit a LOT of stores. it takes them months to sell a championship showdown pack. MONTHS.
most walmarts still have tons of Superstars, and every single wrekkin vehicle ends up on clearance.
yet the pegs or shelf space sits completely empty with the actual regular elite lines
they order heavy all this crap that ROTS pegs and shelves. but then go completely light and cautious with the elite sets that collectors actually want to buy. they wonder why toy sales are tanking its because they continue to fill shelves with stuff that kids don't even want, let alone collectors. at least the greatest hits seem to be 2 cases worth which helps.
if they actually stocked elite sets with any kind of consistency, they would make money. but 90% of the toy sets at walmart are trashed, with crap figures falling over and never re-ordering the stuff that sells out because they put top picks on the pegs where reg elites go.

Thank you. This brings a tear to my eye. Someone else who gets it. Thank you! I'm beside myself that there isn't even a full set of the BAF Wrestlemania Elites on some of these (according to reports I've seen) - so you wouldn't even be able to get the full set at any one Walmart store to do the BAF. And DEFINITELY not if someone else got to this before you did.... Mean Gene is one of my favorites, so I'm glad I bought them through Ringside months ago - but at the same time - I also paid significantly more by doing so. I just don't understand it. |

Does anyone know if there’s an easy way to see if a Walmart has them? Went to 4 different ones today and didn’t find it. I feel like it’ll be hitting Louisville soon but it’s gonna suck to check everyone almost everyday.

My Walmart didn’t have the shipper, but had most of the figures I would imagine I would find it (WM Elites, Greatest Hits, Championship Showdown) in the regular WWE section.

I feel like it’ll be hitting Louisville soon but it’s gonna suck to check everyone almost everyday. Not sure, but one thing I can suggest is to check all over the toy area. I found mine hidden behind the bicycle aisle with a bunch of other stuff. Most of the figures I bought didn't ring up (I had an employee do an override) so I'm guessing there may be a street date on displaying this thing. If your store has a clearance aisle, that may be worth checking out as well. |

Found it for the first time on Tuesday at a Walmart I go to maybe once a month. I checked on one of the scanners around the store, and they didn't ring up (I found an employee to scan them before I went to the register), but then yesterday I found them in my local Walmart and everything scanned at the register perfectly. |

So update. I just found it at my Walmart right in front of my house. I just checked it yesterday, and I was the first one to it today. It had NO Dusty or Macho on it, but multiple Rocks and Hogans. There also wasn't any greatest hits elites but instead multiple cases of elite 98. So that kinda sucks. Hunt continues even after I found it.

One of my local Walmarts did not get the shipper but had all the stock on the shelves. WM Elites, Greatest Hits, Ruthless Aggression. No new Elite waves tho.

Nothing at the 2 Walmarts I stopped at this morning. Did stumble upon some leftovers from a couple cases of Elite 96 so I picked up Brock. Already had Hogan or I would have gotten him as well. Still on the hunt for Ilja as he's really the only one from the set that I need now. Have no need for Shinsuke, Kofi or Doudrop. First newish elites I've seen at retail in like 3 months though, so at least it was something.
