Nope. Definitely wasn't just you. Distribution of the Walmart Exclusive cases seemed to be very spotty on these. I believe they were the first Walmart Exclusive Mystery Minis for Funko (though, don't quote me on that "fact"), so perhaps they were testing the waters a bit. Seems that any Walmart store which was lucky enough to actually get the WWE Minis, only got one case, which doesn't make things easy for collectors at all.

I was in the same boat as you. My area absolutely sucks for just about anything Funko. The Walmart stores around here almost never get restocked with Pop!s, let alone Mystery Minis. I knew the WWE ones would never make it here, so I bought a regular case online and got a little help from a fellow Funko collector in obtaining the Walmart ones. I pray that there are no store exclusives in series two or that if there are, it's at Hot Topic or GameStop, who seem to have far better distribution and restockings than Walmart or Walgreens do.
At this point, distribution for the current crop of WWE Mystery Minis has either slowed considerably or stopped all together, so you're not likely to see any new cases hit stores. Like others have said, check Target, Walgreens, GameStop, and Hot Topic for the regular ones. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to resort to eBay for the Walmart exclusives ones.

Just got into these. Went to gamestop and got 5 of them for $4 each. Got both bellas, cena, steele and flair. Gonna be grabbing some more tmrw and hittinf up walmarts in hopes to find some there. Any idea when s2 comes out?If I'm judging by the time between seeing concept art of series one and the actual release, I wouldn't expect to appear before SummerSlam. I'd be a bit surprised it if were any sooner than that, which is flipppin' killing me. LOL. I'm seriously so excited for series two. Will probably pre-order two cases as soon as I see them up anywhere online. Hopefully that will net me all 14 of the ones I want and some extras to help out fellow collectors.

I hope there are at least 8 more because at 12 per box you won't get a complete set. Unless some of those will be WalGreens and WalMmart exclusives like the first set. Also I think the top right is either Roman or Nash in the wrong attire. The only ones I don't want are Cena and Dolph and if the top one is Roman I wouldn't want him either. Were there Walgreens exclusives in series one? Who?Nope. No Walgreens Exclusives in series one. Series One had fifteen total characters. All were 1/12 rarity, so if you bought a case, you got twelve different characters. Regular cases consisted of... The Undertaker, John Cena, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Daniel Bryan, Andre The Giant, Ric Flair, George Steele, Iron Sheik, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, and Ultimate Warrior. Walmart had three exclusive characters, but they were all still 1/12 rarity, so Ric Flair, George Steele, and Iron Sheik were removed and replaced with Roddy Piper, Macho Man, and Jim Duggan for cases sold at Walmart stores. However, when concept art was shown for the series one WWE Mystery Minis, Roddy Piper, Macho Man, and Jim Duggan were NOT shown along with the others. Wasn't until someone started seeing them show up at Walmart stores that news broke on those three being exclusives. That's not to say three or four of the characters shown in the concept art for Series Two aren't exclusive to somewhere. They might be. Or there might be a few others not shown that are exclusives. Or there might not be any exclusives at all and fans will just have to hunt a bit harder to find a full series set. Just too early to tell right now. IMO, I really, really hope there aren't Walmart or Walgreens exclusives at all. Both stores are notoriously hard to find exclusives at, especially in my area. Got lucky in finding someone online who had the three Walmart exclusives to sell me at a decent price.

Only missing Nikki Bella, The Rock, and Iron Sheik from the 1st set. Sorry if I missed it but is there a release date for these? It's just concept art that was shown, so I'd imagine it's at least a few months away.

Who the heck is the guy on the top right? And I'll get Sting and The Hitman. I'm guessing Kevin Nash, but someone along the line did the legs wrong in this prototype image. Don't recall Nash ever wearing a singlet and can't think of anyone else who it would be with the one elbow pad and wolfpac like hand gestures.

I am literally so excited for these right now!
Only bummer is that I'll have to do some hunting once they come out given that they aren't all 1/12 rarity this time. Hopefully won't have the nightmare of Walmart exclusives either. But seriously so excited for these.

Sharks. Love sharks. Look forward to SHARK WEEK every year.
Also love snakes, particularly constrictors.
And alligators/crocodiles. Literally had one in my front yard one day. It's like seeing a modern day dinosaur.

First and foremost... eBay does not ALWAYS side with the buyer. Most of the time, yes, but not always. The key here is if you made it clear that it was not a full figure in the listing. If so, the onus is on the buyer to read that and ask questions if they're unsure. If the buyer files a claim with eBay, you might lose it initially. However, if you listing was clear, put up a fuss and call eBay to have a customer service rep actually read the description while you're on the phone. Once you get a person to read it and see that the listing was clear that the item was NOT a full figure, the pendulum swings in your favor. It's not your fault that a buyer didn't read the full listing and you should not be penalized for it. Say that. In those word even. It works.
I had a similar situation myself not too long ago. Sold a custom designed NES system that, for the life of me, I could not get to work properly. I made sure to state that the system did not work right three different times in the listing description. Even put it in the headline. Lo and behold, someone buys it and files a claim as soon as it arrives. Initially, eBay sided with them (I think they have an automated system that does that if the buyer uses the right key words or something). I was charged for the refund automatically in my paypal account (this was back when eBay owned PayPal) and the buyer left negative feedback on my account. I was rather ticked off and called eBay. Had an actual person read the description and the claim was quickly reversed, my money refunded, and the negative feedback removed from my account.
Point is that you shouldn't be scared off by horror stories of how eBay always sides with the buyer because it's not true. If you made it clear in the listing what was being sold, it's the buyers fault they didn't read that, not yours.
If it were me, I wouldn't refund them. I might say they can send it back, at their cost, and then give them a refund, but certainly wouldn't do it before you get the items back.
As far as losing money goes, that shouldn't be the case at all. Whatever the case, if you send a refund to someone through PayPal, you should get the PayPal fees back as well. They wouldn't be in business long if the kept fees on refunded payments. And with eBay, all you'd have to do is agree to cancel a transaction. Whether you do so and let the buyer keep the item or agree to do so once the item is returned to you, once a transaction is canceled, you'll get the eBay fees back. Probably as a credit to your seller account. Again, the wouldn't be in business long if they kept fees from transactions that get canceled. Now, if a mistake in a sale was your fault and you send a refund to the buyer, you would still have to pay eBay fees for that transaction, but would still get the paypal fees back for whatever the amount refunded was.

Yes. All the WWE Mystery Minis are 1/12 rarity, so you will get a full set with a sealed case. The normal case includes... Ric Flair, George Steele, Iron Sheik, Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Daniel Bryan, The Rock, John Cena, The Undertaker, Nikki Bella, & Brie Bella. However, to get the complete set, you'll need to buy the Walmart ones separately. They're still 1/12 rarity, but George Steele, Ric Flair, & Iron Sheik were taken out of the Walmart cases and replaced with Macho Man, Roddy Piper, & Jim Duggan. If you're looking for a full set of all 15 characters, I would definitely suggest buying a full case, then hunting down the Walmart ones separately. Well, actually, I would suggest buying a full case from Walmart if you can find one, then getting Flair, Steele, and Sheik on eBay or something, as that would be a bit cheaper. But, you're much more likely to find a full, sealed case of the regular set rather than the Walmart set. Either way, a full sealed case will get you 12 different characters, so that's definitely the way to go if you're looking for a full set. is there different markings on a walmart case that can be identified? there are sellers on ebay selling full cases. how can i tell if its a regular case or walmart case? thanks for your help btw. i appreciate it 99% chance that any case you find sold online will be a regular one (ie not the Walmart exclusives one). Telling the difference is actually really easy. The Walmart Exclusive cases with have Rodd Piper, Macho Man, & Jim Duggan pictured on the front underneath the big Mystery Minis circle logo (there's a picture of a Walmart case in the first post of this thread), whereas the regular assortment cases will have Sheik, Flair, & Steele pictured.

guys im considering buying a sealed case of 12. my question is will I complete the set of 12 in a single case?? I know there are 3 variations from walmart or whatever so im not including them. basically im asking in a sealed case do u get 12 different figures?? Yes. All the WWE Mystery Minis are 1/12 rarity, so you will get a full set with a sealed case. The normal case includes... Ric Flair, George Steele, Iron Sheik, Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Daniel Bryan, The Rock, John Cena, The Undertaker, Nikki Bella, & Brie Bella.

This is actually pretty easy to do. What you need is a PC/Laptop/Some Sort Of Computer, a free download of Audacity audio editing software, a cassette player, and a cable (depending on your cassette player, a male to male audio cable or an RCA to audio cable). Quality will largely depend on the quality of cassette tape, player, and audio cable used. Actually, check out the youtube link here for a video that explains the simple process...

Prince Devitt, El Generico, Kevin Steen, Kenta, Tyler Black, Johnny Moxley, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and now Austin Aries... I can honestly say I NEVER thought I'd see they day when any of those guys would be in WWE, let alone all of them at once. Love it and super happy these guys are finally getting a chance to really shine on a truly worldwide stage.

Wal-Mart stores in the area FINALLY started getting these. My power of box shaking paid off again and I got Roddy Piper on the first try. Sadly, for the first time out of five tries it failed me once and I got Hulk Hogan instead of Jim DUggan. Still not a bad pickup, and if the boxes hadn't been disturbed it would have been an easier hunt. I'm not happy at all with the mixed era Randy Savage look, so I wasn't even trying for that one. Hopefully they'll do another series of these with a greater variety of legends and current stars. That list quoted above is pretty great. I can't really argue against any of those names, but I'd definitely add Rick Rude and Ryback to the list myself. I wasn't too enamored with that to begin with either. But, I think the logic behind it was that they wanted to somehow represent Savage in both his classic looks, but didn't want to do two Savages in the same set and since they didn't know if a second series would be created or not, they opted to merge the two looks. Disappointing to some Savage fans, but I'd rather have a mixed era Macho Man than none at all.

I've kinda given up on TNA too. I still DVR the shows and usually put them on in the background while I'm doing something else. Every once in a while, something ill spark my interest enough to pay closer attention, but mostly it's just... dull to me.

I really like the dynamic between Lawler, Saxton, and Mauro on commentary. Me too. Mauro really impressed me with his work on the English NJPW shows on AXS, but when I heard he was coming to WWE, I was really worried he'd be forced to change his style. It's so incredibly refreshing to hear a lead commentator who actually call the flippin' match for a change. Haven't had that a whole lot since JR left. Might seem like a little thing, but good commentary can make an average match so much better and Mauro has worked wonders for SmackDown in the two shows he's been on.

I'd love another series of these little guys. They are so well done. But please, no more Walmart exclusive ones. If they want to do exclusive, make them Hot Topic or GameStop or something. Anyway, for a series 2, I'd like to see (more of a personal wish list than a realistic expectation)... - Bret "Hitman" Hart - Jake "The Snake" Roberts - "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - Triple H - Mankind - Shawn Michaels - Vader - Dusty Rhodes - "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase - Sheamus - Seth Rollins - Kevin Owens - Kane - Dean Ambrose - Alberto Del Rio - Trish Stratus GREAT list! Personally, I would like to see a Ricky Steamboat and Razor Ramon. Hopefully a second series is in the works. Me Too! I could actually come up with about 30 or so I'd like to see, but tried to keep it to 15 based on the number of superstars in series 1.
