Somebody hook me up with a Mankind I keep hoping one of us will walk into Walmart and find a fresh case or two any day now. All I see is AEW figures nobody wants and random wwe elites from the 90s series On the pegs, that is. Basics are stocked well around here tho I see all the ones people clamor for |

Series 1 Hogan hung around for a bit. This Triple H looks like it’s going to be “that” figure on the pegs for a good while.

I love seeing figures like the Harlem Heat chases already selling for 60 bucks or more a piece online and being unable to find them for retail price in the biggest retailer on the planet! And the fact we're looking at Series 3 already when no one was able to get Series 2? Chef's kiss! Très magnifique! Great job, Walmart and Mattel! #ShippersSaveLives

He's one of my all-time favorites. The fact that I ONLY ever saw Hogan from series 1 really kind of set the table for me. I knew this line was going to be a distribution nightmare. I never saw a single series 2 figure and my headless Disciple makes me realize that it's time to reevaluate my collecting priorities. Giving someone my money shouldn't be a chore. |

Wowww..... this Reddit post is a long read but I found it very interesting, and MIGHT have some bearing on the Monday Night Wars.... He's essentially saying that Walmart gets X-amount in..... then if they did pre-orders, the stock gets allocated for that first.... and whatever is left goes to the stores. MNW Series 3 did go on Pre-Order, so I wonder if that's why these just aren't showing up in very many stores.... of course, doesn't really explain why Walmart always cancels the pre-orders, but still.... an interesting take here.  The rabbit hole goes even deeper when the truth comes out that some entire states get nothing. I went down to the deepest trenches of the walmart distribution hole and figured out that the reason many walmarts dont get quantity anymore is due to a few resellers who somehow have gotten direct licenses with mattel to sell these before walmart receives them. Those same resellers buy in incredible large quantities that would make your head explode. Some of these swatters are spending millions... we are all f'd R.i.p Walmart Btw: sorry to still see you struggling brother flair. Join the gijoe collecting club. Much greener on this side. All these wwe figures can be bought in 3-5 years for 1/4th of the price |

We don’t even get a chance at them. I hope nobody buys them for secondary prices and they just sit there. |
