Can anyone - ANYONE - please direct me on how I can buy or order a Ruthless Aggression Eric Bischoff? It's a figure that I'd like to have and I have zero confidence that this figure is even going to see light-of-day in the United States. I have zero confidence that I will find this in any American Walmart. I think the route to go might be just buy the upcoming wcw elite ring that comes with a bischoff figure. The ebay scalper prices might make it worth it to go that route. I have not seen series 2 or 3 at any walmart stores in my area to date, doubt i will. |

Yeah, I was trying to make a point...... and this is it. We can't buy the Ruthless Aggression Bischoff, even though it's available (or was) on the Canadian Walmart website. I just want to buy the figure - and I can't. And if it's this difficult to get these - how the heck are we going to get our hands on the Monday Night Wars line, which will probably have a substantially higher demand? |

Cold hard truth, unless enough people complain and demand better nothing will change.
Monday Night Wars line will be just as impossible to find.
Line is cancelled, rsc gets the leftovers, new walmart line announced, rinse and repeat.

I know it's easy to blame Walmart, but I live in an area that is normally pretty good for distribution. My Walmart is fully stocked with stuff that no one will buy. I blame Mattel for the choices and case numbers for the problem around here. The bottom line is that the women figures and NXT figures just do not sell. No one will buy: Elite 92 Scarlett Elite 93 Raquel Gonzalez Elite 94 Stephanie McMahon, Wes Lee, Nash Carter Same problem with basics and Championship Showdown 2-Packs. Hey now I bought Elite 92 Scarlett at Big Lots for $10 |

From a forum perspective- there isn’t much we can do aside from bring it to Steve’s attention since I’m sure his team has contacts on the Walmart distribution side of things.

if i have to go in , to buy a toy figure that should be online especially with a "pre-order" format, than im just not getting it. its that cut and dry.
im doen wasting time, gas, effort, and dodging the people and employees to checkout also. that business model is old and outdated if they really want people to come to a store.
its clear they have a dis-connect with there online portion of there business with toys , i guess. anything else i can pretty much get online from walmart with never going into a store.
Mattel wont stop giving them exclusives when they want them and pay for them to be made. so we are screwed until they fix it or stop paying.

I saw RA Kevin Nash pop up on the Walmart app last week, so I ordered one. A day goes by and, “Your order was delayed.” Uh oh. Then Nash was out of stock. Hmm. Then a few days later Nash is available again, so I order a second one just in case. The next day, “Your order is delayed.” Huh. That’s weird. And Nash is no longer available again. Maybe when it goes out of stock, it triggers a delay email.
Then after a couple days I get an email saying the pre-order date was pushed back to July. What?! I didn’t even preorder it! The preorder date had already run out. There was no more preorder option! Ot was listed as available! It’s already on shelves!
I’m really worried I’m never gonna get that figure. It is the last piece I need for WWE NWO. I have been waiting to get the 2002 version of NWO since like 2005 when I started collecting Jakks Ruthless Aggression.

I have and it’s the “Thank you for your suggestions - we will do everything in our power to improve” This, 8 months ago and not a peep. At this point Steve is the only one with enough power to have any kind of discussion with the overlords. |

There HAS to be some Walmart VP who oversees toys..... or whatever umbrella Toys falls under. We need to Identify that executive and blast him (her?) so that they realize that their apathy is actually costing this company money.
Let's get our detective hats on .... & figure out who the Walmart executive is that oversees this stuff.

That nash getting pushed to July probably means it will get canceled right?

Walmart just cancelled my Ruthless Agression series 2 Cena, Nash, and Benjamin. I preordered on the first day they were available in fall of 2022.

Let's get our detective hats on .... & figure out who the Walmart executive is that oversees this stuff. The only time walmart cares about toys is the few months leading up to christmas. The rest of the year they don't care, probably same with target. I predict long term both retailers will phase out toys completely in a few decades. The more people play on smartphones and tablets, the less and less retailers care about toys. |
