eBay’s up to about 100 new listings a day for “Mattel Monday Night Wars”. Really a disappointing set of circumstances. Almost 200 new eBay listings for “Mattel Monday Night Wars” today and it’s not even 6PM EST. If you were lucky enough to find the shipper, it looks like you can have your summer beach trip paid for by flipping a few figs. The good news is the price of Ultimate Mankind and Ultimate Eddie has started to settle. Started around $74 a piece and now we are down to $69! What a deal! What a time to be a collector! Thank you Mattel, walmart, the dudes who run to buy everything and the bay for making all this possible! I love spending 50 plus on a single figure such a steal. |

Yep, I'm in the wrong - however will I sleep tonight?! Oh noooooo!
What kind of person sees dozens of people unable to find multiple sets, so they take the time to take, then post photos of the exact items people want while simultaneously complaining that their region is so plentiful that this finding is not amazing?

It sure is a valid complaint. I agree. Series 2 nor 3 ever hit my area. Finally found an untouched shipper. Only series 2 which I ordered online a month ago. So it's frustrating not seeing series 3 in the shipper. They should all have a mix of both and plenty of each and not put those peg warming top picks elites in the shipper at all. Walmart and mattel need to get it together! It sucks!!

They have dedicated pegs on the Walmart Plan-O-Gram, and those have sat completely EMPTY for 4 months - an entire fiscal quarter - at all of the 5 Walmarts that I regularly check. SOMEONE put those on the Plan-O-Gram, and I'm certain that the intent was NOT for them to sit empty for for 4-5-6 months. WHY are these not being distributed just like all Walmarts other toys? Where are they? |

I finally did find the shipper in the Tunkhannock Pennsylvania Walmart. There was one each of RVD & Harlem Heat in Black from MNW Series 3, Five Rock from MNW Series 3, Everyone from Summerslam & Top Picks, & Everyone from Elite Series 109 but Bayley. The Hazleton Walmart was untouched a few days ago. There was no Bayley's in the shipper |

Shipper hit my local Walmart yesterday. They had about 6 of each figure from Monday Night Wars Series 3. I had no interest in any figure from that series but REALLY want that Disciple figure so I bought all 4 and decided to just sell them on Ebay loose without the BAF parts. Actually worked out pretty well for me since they had two Blue Booker T Chase figures. So I bought two Booker T's, 1 rock, 1 RVD and 1 Stevie Ray. This is how it all broke down in terms of getting my money back so I didn't have to spend too much to get the Disciple:
In Box Booker T Chase: Cost $21.43 after tax. Sold for $43.38 ($60 -$8.91 fee - $7.71 Shipping). Profit of $21.95
Loose Booker T Chase: Cost $21.43. Sold For $37.82 ($50 - $7.50 fees - $4.68 shipping). Profit of $16.39
Loose Stevie Ray: Cost $21.43. Sold for $25.34 ($35 - $5.35 fees - $4.31 shipping). Profit of $3.91
Loose Rob Van Dam: Cost $21.43. Sold for $22.68 ($32.50 - $5.14 fees - $4.68 shipping). Profit of $1.25
So I decided to keep The Rock since it looks slightly better than my old Elite 2 Pack one. All in all I basically got The Disciple and The Rock for free and made an extra $20 bucks or so. This will probably be the avenue I go from now on to try and make the BAF's affordable in these series where they hide them behind 4 figures I don't even want. Obviously I would expect to take a loss, this series just happened to have a chase figure worth more. But I'm ok taking a $20 loss or so for a nice BAF.

What kind of person gets their panties in an uproar over a pic of some figures? Yeah he has the figs he wanted. Yeah he took a pic. He posted it here. Buuuuuuut, if it wasn't for him taking the time to even visit whatever walmart this is, I wouldn't have gotten the ultimate Cody I absolutely refuse to over pay for. And I'm pretty sure he snagged something for another member. So at the end of the day, he helped some folks out. So regardless of however you or anyone else feels about not having the toys in the pics he posted, it's not his fault you or anyone else don't have them. People are always trying to turn absolutely nothing into something. |

Today was the first day since Father’s Day where I didn’t have blurry vision or feel light headed so I drove to Walmart for nothing. Still no shipper and only a few SuperStars Rock figures, an UE Bianca, b146(?) the set with Rollins in the white. And a few WM Young Bucks.
