Of course my Ultimate MNW Mankind and Eddie shipped today after spending $50 on Mankind last week and Eddie a few weeks ago. And it wasn’t due to lack of patience. It’s simply because I don’t trust Walmart whatsoever to actually fulfill these orders, and I figured if I didn’t order them the price would only go up.

how did you get your wcw display btw? ive always meant to ask. i want to make a similar display, but on a smaller scale They are just computer print-outs, which I then laminated. So they are basically just plastic backdrops. This particular setup has three pieces to add a bit of depth. Same for the floor, just it's a print-out of a diamond-plate pattern, printed & laminated. I'd much rather be using a Mattel full Nitro Stage, but hey..... we didn't get that. The magic of photography! Thats amazing, it’s exactly what I need to make as well. |

Thinking about this earlier today. Ever since at least Harley Race Flashback, but maybe before that, wrestling figures should not be this hard to acquire, unless they are a chase piece or limited edition. General releases even if they are store exclusive should be easy to find.

General releases even if they are store exclusive should be easy to find. i hate to keep bringing it up but every target i go into typically has pegs stocked full of their brand exclusives. i also collect the aew jazwares figures and star wars black series. 99% of the time when i go to any target with the purpose of looking for the "target exclusive xxxxxx figure" i find it unless its a chase--which also in my experience target restocks fairly frequently and you can get one if you go back a few days in a row. |

I think my Eddie shipped!!! I can’t remember what email I used to purchase him, but I see a $35ish charge. I’m not sure how to feel… my collection has been stored in a closet for like two months.

I work in the produce section of my Walmart, but I've got the ability to scan and check prices and all of that good stuff. I decided today to scan the fake diesel figure that has been hanging on the peg for 3 months now to see what/when these were expected to be restocked. According to the data, there were supposed to be 10 on the shelf (only 2, diesel and a series 3 Rock) with zero in the back room. My guess is the other 8 have been stolen? Anyways, these are expected to be restocked on Dec 2nd at my store and I was also able to request an order so I ordered another case. We will see what shows up.

Found series 5 locally in Baton Rouge, LA. It feels like the completely skipped Series 4 in my area. Just glad to have most of them at this point but I need that DDP and Hennig badly.

It’s simply because I don’t trust Walmart whatsoever to actually fulfill these orders, and I figured if I didn’t order them the price would only go up. I was about to cancel my mankind order and just replace it when it went back in stock. I forgot to do it last night and just remembered a little while ago so I went to check my email and my pre-order from March shipped. |

Got my Eddie guys. Happy to receive him after the LONG wait… it has a bit of QC issue on the tights, but I guess it’s tolerable. Going to repaint the soles of his boots white when I get some paint to make them accurate.

Going to repaint the soles of his boots white when I get some paint to make them accurate. power to you for holding out on your online order. im taking this stance with the next two series; i have series 5 and 6 pre-ordered online and im going to hold wal mart to it as it seems they made series 4 work out online. i see people finding series 5 on pegs and i want to go out and hunt so bad but im sticking to my guns im honestly burned out on going to 500+ wal marts and theres a CHANCE ONE MIGHT have A SINGLE FIGURE im looking for. i have gotten lucky but ive had way more hunts getting skunked finding nothing than that one single magic trip where i find everything im looking for. |

I hope you find your figures. It’s annoying to not have access to these figures, but also wasting gas and time looking for them if you have Walmarts. I have yet to bother buying elite jeans DDP due to the QC issues that Mattel should address… Edit: I noticed another qc issue with my Eddie, one head looks slightly off skintone wise. This is incredibly annoying. |

I think what's happening with all the long necks, when these are getting assembled certain ones are using the incorrect peg. I imagine they have a basket of neck pegs, and got different ones mingled in the container, they are just grabbing and on to the next.
I'm assuming since all the heads are molded from a template, the hole itself isn't the issue.
