Does the entire series not being available in Canada count as "fulfillment issues" because I would to hear about that being resolved Thanks for the a**hole comment -- I'm sure it really encourages Steve to post more. Why do people need to be such jerks and ruin things for others? God. How was this an ass holey comment? My brother from the Great white north can't get the figs in his country. Asked a simple question. You read far too much into it. |

No. It’s not going anywhere. Starting with wave 5, all MNW Elites (except Greatest Hits) and Ultimates will be available for pre-order. Wave 3 pre-orders seem to be fulfilling properly so I’m hopeful the previous issues have been resolved. If there are wave 3 fulfillment issues, post here and I’ll pass them on. Starting with wave 5? Did you not say before (somewhere) that starting with wave 3 each line will begin to be up for pre orders? Now it’s starting with wave 5? Or am I reading this wrong ? He did. |

I think the fulfillment issue is that the preorders have a shipment date of August, yet stores have been stocking them since the beginning of June and resellers are already flooding eBay with them. This same stuff has happened every time you preorder WWE exclusives from Walmart. Then in a month or two we will get a email saying our order is cancelled. Walmart preorders are a joke and if these things are actually going to get better distribution they need to be available through Mattel creations Kinda like you guys just did with that rsc exclusive wcw ring. |

Steve can u add ecw figs to the line, I mean they were part of the war too , and we could have more characters instead of repaints Strongly disagree. The line is specifically designated as WCW and WWF between 1995 and 2001, there and literally hundreds of possibilities within that scope, and WWE can and should approach/sign more "first time" and "deep dive" names to cut down on the repaints and get MNW to full potential/sales. ECW legends get slotted into the regular lines, they absolutely do not deserve MNW slots. RVD is borderline but technically did appear in WWF TV during this time so does fit, just. |

Wave 5 goes up for preorder this week meaning 4 was skipped. But supposedly going forward the rest should be preorderable. |

Since Wave 4 isn't being sold online.... we can expect it to flood all the Walmarts, right? Full Pegs of Jeans-DDPs all across America? This is the part I can't figure out.... they "skip" waves and they just vanish.... where do they go? Did all the Wave 2 figures get sent out to Walmarts? Because it really doesn't seem like it. Did Wave 3 ever even hit the pegs? I know some people found them on the shippers but the pegs have been largely empty since April. |

I did not. I said the 2025 waves. Wave 4 is a 2024 wave Thank you Steve. On behalf of the group, thank you for answering our questions & actively participating in these discussions. I also speak for the group when I say that there is a tremendous amount of frustration and disappointment trying to locate & buy the Monday Night Wars figures. So far, only Series 3 was made available online - the rest have been a free-for-all hunt across Walmarts hoping to find a Shipper that has one case of Wave 2 or one case of Wave 3. From all accounts, the Monday Night Wars were the first figures to sell off the shippers (and they went quickly) - again leaving many of us empty-handed. Is there a reason these haven't been well-stocked on the pegs? I have never seen Wave 2 or 3 on any pegs among the six Walmarts that I check regularly. The pegs have been empty since April at all of them. We look forward to all the new reveals this week! I know this is a busy week for you guys, good luck! |

Thanks Steve for all you are trying to do. I'm sure working with Walmart ain't easy so hopefully they get up to speed and have a nice process like Target's Legends.

I did not say exactly what you’re saying. I could've, but this just seems like what I said with less words. Not trying to be argumentive Steve if thats how I'm coming off I apologize, but I try to remember important things 😂 cause this line is make or break and so far it's not been good for most people.  |

The shipper was the only way to find Series 3 in my area, and the only RVD I found in 3 Walmarts had the Disciple head stolen out of it. Series 1 or 2? Never saw anything but Hogan...once. |

Does that mean a potential Survivor Series shipper with Wave 4 is coming to WM sometime in the fall? Or should they just be getting actual cases of that wave (and older ones) at some point?

If he wants to reply or move along it's his call. Some of you guys get so weird over Steve and I don't understand it. |

Regarding retailers deciding what to carry- does this apply to individual waves as well?! Walmart Canada has not carried every single series from the Superstars line, we got series 1 & 2 then nothing until series 5 showed up online and then nothing again until series 10 showed recently online again- where are the other series and why are they not carrying them?!
Why do these lines have to be picked up by a retailer- why can't Mattel sell them direct to consumer via their online stores (Mattel Shop & Creations)?! If no one wants them then that means Mattel just doesn't make the product available at all?! Does this mean that the Canadian market is no longer important to Mattel?

Steve is an adult idk why yall feel like you've gotta be on eggshells around him. If he wants to reply or move along it's his call. Some of you guys get so weird over Steve and I don't understand it. Honestly, I am guessing some of the tiptoeing has to do with what happened with Bill as he was interactive back in the day, but after one too many attacks he is no longer active here on any sort of regular basis. Steve came in, started the Q&A thread, drops in when things pop up (like this discussion here), but the goal is to 'keep it nice and civil' so we don't lose Steve too. Some people tend to be..... extra blunt...... in their responses and it can come off to some people as a rather a-hole like. Not to everyone, but to some. And I am sure those people don't mean it that way. I have a guy that way I work with (tech support for a tech company) - he is just too blunt in a corporate world and it comes off very dickishly and he has unintentionally ticked a lot of people off. The same could happen here, and the goal is to keep Steve communicating with the group. |
