RA just didn't happen here in the UK, but MNW has been unbelievably easy to pick up. I hope it never ends, especially now we are getting the ultimates.

My local Walmart today stocked 2 Fresh cases of Elite 93 and one random Monday Night Wars Ultimate Eddie Guerrero. There really is no rhyme or reason to any of this hahaha it’s funny you say this as I was at my Walmart earlier this week and they also got a fresh case of elite 93 |

They are finally getting to pallets at the back end of the warehouses, LOL. Those that found Elite 93 - are y'all anywhere near the same area, using the same warehouse by chance? |

Seeing as half these figures are re-releases or could easily be offered elsewhere in the line... I mean it's the same old names on repeat
If you're gonna bury some desirable figures in this mess it is a slap in the face to collectors no matter how you spin it

Seems like they're all by us in PA - I saw these this week outside Philly, believe there was also a sighting in DE. Wouldn't surprise me if stuff has been sitting in our distro centers since the pandemic days TBH. |

Why y’all want this line to die? Distribution was bad on RA and I didn’t care about 85% of the figs released but I never wanted to see its demise. Frustrating to collect or not, I’d rather it exist and have another line to collect mid 90s through early 00s guys. because what's the point in having a line if barely anybody can get the figures? |

These conversations wouldn't be happening if these were available at target or even Amazon. Guaranteed. If theses weren't Walmart exclusive, the only conversations we'd be having is the selection of figures. |

There's no way scalpers are buying everything. And there's not enough collectors in any given area to absolutely obliterate the stock.
This is either the most underproduced line in action figure history, or there are tens of thousands of cases of these waves collecting mold in the back of Walmart's warehouses because nobody cares.

That's roughly 85% the issue. The other issue is hand picked stores get cases upon cases while most stores get nothing. |

The issue is undoubtedly Walmart. In the UK we’re having an easy time getting these. Smyths have been brilliant. |

If there’s a line that needs to be rereleased it’s this one… there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to get these long awaited releases. Jeans DDP in baby blue jeans have been a huge want of mine, ‘98 Booker with black tights and flames as well… yet I didn’t get the chance to get either because one wasn’t available to begin with (but at a small window frame) and the other sold out quickly. I hope Mattel could at least give us jeans DDP as an ultimate with the following:
Three headscans with longer mullet, Van dyke goatee (one with teeth gritting/snarling like Toybiz), one serious and one screaming.
Removable sleeveless shirt
White rib tape
Resized WCW US title
Vest

Better it exist and have an opportunity to get em than not exist at all and these versions of characters never see the light of day. |

Mattel has to make deals to guarantee shelf space which include exclusives. So if MNW dies something else will take its place. So might as well just let it live. |

Hey technically they have the shelf space - it's just empty 141.6666666666666666% of the time |
