It’s easy to find wrestling figures in Alabama. I’ll go to Walmarts and see stuff stocked to the ceilings . Like the RVD/Brock UE everybody has been trying to find, I saw those like a month ago and they’re all still at the same store with a few old Roman reigns UEs. It’s like nobody around here cares to buy them, whcih I won’t complain lol. Man, share that RVD/Brock location. I haven't had any luck with those. By the time you drive from North Alabama to said location you might as well buy it on the bay lol. Unless you wanna drive like 2 hours for it |

I want that Bulldog. I have the OG version, but his shoulders are so stiff that it’s hard to move his arms.

I found the shipper on the third store today. Most stores have it, but don't know they have it because it's not in their system in a location. They're supposed to be out on 11/5.

In a massive turn of events, these can now be tracked using popfindr. Hopefully this will limit aimless driving around in some cases. Good luck!
Warrior: 89197696
Bulldog: 89197699
Funk: 89197698
Honky: 89197697

Warrior: 89197696 Bulldog: 89197699 Funk: 89197698 Honky: 89197697 That's how I found them at my local Target. Numbers showed 4 of each and when I got there the shipper was already set up and priced. |

Just an awful way to distribute a line/wave of figures terrible way especially for rereleases meant to help collectors get what they missed out on |

Found the set yesterday. I noticed Warrior doesn’t come with extra hands. Is this the first figure to not come with extra hands since they started doing that? Elite 89 Lashley. |

I've visited 3 of the stores and been told the same thing... Not exactly sure the inventory is working properly for these guys |

Asked an employee one time for the Legends set with Hogsn that just recently came out , but was told they didn’t have them at all, which popfindr said they had them , I was like ok cool. Started looking around and saw they had a cart with boxes, of course I looked and sure enough there’s a box that had Hulk hogan on it, opened it up got the hogan and left. Went back a few days later and they never put those on the shelves, it took about another month before I saw those Hogsn finally on the shelf |

Warrior: 89197696 Bulldog: 89197699 Funk: 89197698 Honky: 89197697 I think it varies as the one target I went to ( I have 3 in a 5 mile radius) said they had to wait until 11/15 while the one I got them all at ( & in the past had an employee grab me Greg The Hammer Legends 20 & Mr. Perfect 20) before the street date gave me a number, told me to take a photo & check back. One day later, first thing, they were out as they said they will put out as soon as its prepped & it appears they don't follow street dates. At least not for this one, maybe due to it not being online & having an inshore street date. Just a thought. Again, it is definitely strange they did it this way, even as a someone who got the whole set with ease & multiples of the British Bulldog & Funk. |

Man, share that RVD/Brock location. I haven't had any luck with those. By the time you drive from North Alabama to said location you might as well buy it on the bay lol. Unless you wanna drive like 2 hours for it Is there like a Walmart distribution center nearby or something? Near me the closest one is 50 miles away and we routinely are the last area to see stuff as the rest of the country has had a chance to buy stuff like twice. Unfortunately, unless Target employees have been lying to me, basically every store near me says 4 in stock and when I call they have 0 on the floor and 0 in the back... I've visited 3 of the stores and been told the same thing... Not exactly sure the inventory is working properly for these guys They have them in the back, they just aren’t going to go back and get them.

Went back a few days later and they never put those on the shelves, it took about another month before I saw those Hogsn finally on the shelf Always feel like it depends on the specific Target - I have ones that I'll stop in and if they don't have stuff, I'm out. Others I can flag somebody down and politely ask them to look up the item and they'll usually be willing to do a quick check. Toys don't feel like a priority at WM, so if they don't have anything I'm in and out of there generally. |

Went back a few days later and they never put those on the shelves, it took about another month before I saw those Hogsn finally on the shelf I actually lean towards believing what you're saying. I've had no problem getting them to look things up, but the answer is always completely different. Yesterday I called a store and gave the girl the DPCI for the Warrior...she said that they had none on the floor, but that they were scheduled to be on the truck for 11/1 and to call back later. So after trying probably 15 times without getting anyone to even answer the phone, I went down. Found a lady stocking some hot wheels and asked. First she was like "I just put that shipper out yesterday" and couldn't believe it wasn't even on the floor, but then said nothing about a truck, or any in the back when she looked up the DPCI. Also called a different store, and got a really nice guy, who was like "hmm...its telling me I have 0 on the floor, and 0 in the back, but that I have 4 of them 'on hand' let me go look" Unfortunately he came back and said he couldn't locate any. |

I live across the street from Target, but my store was showing 0 in stock on pop finder. I hit a target about ten minutes away after I dropped my kids off at school. They were showing 3 of HTM in stock. When I got there I only found one HTM and it was on the pegs. It also had a ripped bottom. So maybe someone found it but wanted it MOC or to sell it and passed because it was damaged. No one else from the set was with it and they didn't have the display out anywhere.
My store across the street got the display with Legends 8, the Elite 93 one, and the Elite 100 one. So I'm hoping they eventually get it. I'd grab Warrior and probably Funk again to get more belts. But I'm not holding my breath. Seems like it's not going to every store. HTM was the only one I needed and I consider that a lucky win.

really a bad move not making these available online. i barely walk into any department store in 2023. unless i need something ASAP.
Target has been fine other than that, the legends line has been very obtainable online., Walmart is the absolute drizzling mess.. they have got to get that figured out moving forward for these upcoming MNW releases. the RA line is a wasteland, and my last Walmart visit , they had ZERO on shelfs.

Ok so i am not the only one then. So do you think every wwe mattel employee knows how bad it is out there or do they just live in an alternate reality ? Do you think mattel employees do not speak up because they fear losing there jobs, or do they just blissfully unaware ? |

I feel bad for those who don’t have a Target nearby.
