I know this question will not be picked, because rsc will not pick any tough questions. They do not want to upset there overlords and suffer any potential consequences.
If they want to be bold and prove me wrong, by all means. Here my the question.
Why is distribution of wwe mattel figures so terrible at walmart stores the last few years ??
Walmart exclusives have been horrendously distributed just as bad as main line elites, basic, and 2packs.
Who is more to blame, mattel or walmart for this issue ?.

This supreme line distribution makes no sense, I just picked up 2 Cody supremes from target the blue pants not the walmart red pants. I have never seen these figures anywhere. Oh well atleast I finally got a couple to add to the collection. I would love to see series 2 supremes actually hit retail anywhere other than the Walmart exclusive kenny. Nevermind, you bought those at target. Target got a limited supply of the regular cody supremes. All reports suggest they did not sell very well, so target did not order more. Did you pay full price for those ?

Can you check back again when possible and see if your store got punks supreme to replace it ? No Punk as of now. Watch that store like a hawk, man. Go back in a day or two and give a manager the upc for punk.

I LOVE them, and probably won't be able to buy them! Well! I stand corrected. I stopped by the usually-cleaned-out Target half a mile from my house right at opening this morning, and was pleasantly surprised to see the shipper on the side of the endcap right next to the wrestling figgies. They had 2 of the Warrior, and 3 of everyone else. Picked up one of each! Its so crazy right ? When target actually gets wwe mattel figures and sends them to stores. Target stores put the product out, and the product sells. Its so amazing right ?? I think whoever is in charge of the wwe mattel team needs to take notes, this is ground breaking information right here. <--------

So the general rule is that the west coast gets everything first, then a week or 2 later the east coast? Seems like every Walmart in California has had at least 6 of these. Yep lots of ebay listings from cali now.

evilways811If they bring the online product link back online people could probably find the stores that are getting punk supremes.

Not sure if it was just my Walmart, but I just picked up 6 of the Omega supreme figures for $9 each in the clearance section. There had been a pile of them on the shelves for months and when I went today they were all gone, so I decided to check out the clearance section and there they were. Just giving everyone a heads up to be on the look out. Can you check back again when possible and see if your store got punks supreme to replace it ?

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 ?

Awesome. Even if RSC takes longer, that tells me these are done and I'm getting my ROH Punks. (Yes, common sense says the figure is coming out.not being pulled/etc. but ROH basketball shorts Punk has been my dream wrestling figure for over 20 years, so I'll be nervous it's to coming until it's in my hands 😂 ) don’t worry you will get punk. If he wasn’t coming out ringside would have removed him by now Ever since the harley race debacle I can not trust mattel or even now jazwares.

Punk Supreme starting to hit retail, i have seen 2 different posts of people finding them in store.
This may be related to the omega supreme.

tdoggpsuI do not know, i doubt they disclose there sales. But i do know they not only get all tge elites,basics, and ultimates. They also seem to magically get a lot of leftover walmart and target exclusives.

I have two targets in my area and outside the Elite 100 shipper, the last mainline elite series we received was Elite 94. I mean does your local targets even have a spot for regular elites anymore ? My 2 targets do not, and i have seen pics of clearenced out regular elites.

kirk815 Let me ask you a question has over the last 4 years, has distribution of wwe mattel figures in your are gotten better, worse, or stayed about the same ? Do you enjoy hunting for wwe figures or is it a hassle in 2023, soon 2024 ? I give mattel and target credit, the exclusive legends minus this set have been 300% easier to buy in store. I am comparing that to all the previous target exclusives which have been god awful and horrendous to find. There is no way that every wwe mattel employee that has worked there for a while does not know distribution wwe figures overall is really bad. Why has distribution not improved and I would say gotten worse ? It has absolutely gotten worse at walmart stores. Target might have given up and stopped selling main line elites. So yes every wwe mattel employee is absolutely complicit in the awful distribution, and the scalper culture that exists. Matt Cordana even made jokes about it on the podcast "di-di-distribution problems". Its feast or famine out there, and its why ringside collectibles is making so much money today. We can not rely on mattel to get there wwe figures to retail anymore.
