I'm seeing some Elites at Five and Below, but mostly I see a load of Zombies. They are everywhere.

I've been to several Walmarts in my area lately. Many of the stores have put the left over Wrestlemania Battle Packs on the pegs where the Flashback Elites would go, and they don't appear to be moving anytime soon. I wish they would clearance that Wrestlemania stuff.

Westminster Area Update Wednesday (7-25-18)
I had my Shark figure sent to the Westminster store so I could see what's around. Westminster Walmart: Elite 54, parts of Elite 56. Battle Packs 49, about 5 total basics from series 84. Lots of Wrestlemania stuff crammed in the already small normal section. No Summerslam shipper. Westminster Marshall's: Basic 79 TJP, Samos Joe, and Neville. Tough Talkers Piper and Cena, one Elite 47A Tatanka with less-than-perfect packaging. Westminster FYE: Entrance Greats Kurt Angle, one Brian Knobbs Elite. Westminster GameStop: A single "Made the List" Elite Chris Jericho. Nothing else at this one. Westminster Five and Below: Lots of Zombies, New Day Tough Talkers. Westminster Big Lots: Tough Talkers, Elite 47.5 Victor, Goldust, Pillman, one of each. One Elite 41 Ambrose as well. Basic 73 Cesaro, Build-a-Figure Rusev. Westminster Boz Cov's: Elite 51 Berzerker and Zayn, Legends Magnum, one of each. All of basic 72, as well as basic 77 Graves and Balor. Old school figure cases with scratch logo and the spinner belt on the bottom shelf, basic rings, etc. I don't see that basic Nakamura often: Westminster Target: Elite 54 Cena an Charlotte, Jerry Sags and Regal. Basic 84, Battle Packs 51. HOF Piper (2), HOC Eddie (1), and Rikishi (1). NXT Rusev, Reigns, Roode, and Ember Moon. Dolls, Tough Talkers, and Zombies on clearance: Finally, here is my Shark figure that I picked up in the Westminster Target, complete with sticker right on the front: I'm gonna open him anyway, so it doesn't matter. I don't think these employees really understand the "collector" thing. This is pretty much the only place you can get him, and the MOC people would probably not too pleased lol.

I understand that you can't make everyone happy. Here are my favorites:
Real American Hulk Hogan Wolfpac Macho Man Wolfpac Sting Wolfpac Nash nWo Hall
I wasn't collecting when Macho King was out, I really wish this one was still available.

The first series sold out quickly in my area. I haven't seen any of them at retail in months.

Short one. They put the sticker right over andres other head Yes they did. Not a super great idea from a marketing standpoint lol. I opened it, so no worries. This one will be my WM2 variation, when the running change longer singlet arrives at mass retail, I'll pick up another one. Thankfully Target and Walmart won't put the sticker there.

I just picked up Giant Machine at Gamestop as well. According to the employee, the initial shipment only has 2 Giant figures in about a 65 mile radius. The one I have has the shorter singlet too. I'll use this one for my WM2 Andre, and look for another one for Giant Machine when these are finally more widely distributed.

Love your pics here, thanks for sharing. I also like how the coveted guy that came with the ring did the job for AJ in his first appearance lol. I would have done the same thing.

My Walmart is flooded with Elite 56. Still no Summerslam elite. No wonder why people are ordering online more and more. Many of my surrounding Walmarts took the reminants of the very late arriving Wrestlemania end caps and flooded the regular section with the left overs. Now everything seems to be at a standstill because the shelves and pegs are full. I think that is holding up the Summerslam stuff, newer Elites and newer Battle Packs. I wish more Walmarts would clearance the Wrestlemania stuff already like they did in previous years. It would have sold better if it actually arrived on time. You can't see it here, but the top shelf has about 18-20 more Wrestlemania Battle Packs. As you can see, Elite 54 Charlotte and the Wrestlemania Elites are holding the shelf down at this location. The only thing coming in are basics.

Frederick Area Update Saturday (7-21-18) Frederick Walmart on 85: Elite 56 Anderson (1) and Jack Gallagher (3). Battle Packs 49 & 50, basic 84. Lots of Monsters and just a couple of the Build-a-Finks. This store actually clearanced their remaining Wrestlemania stuff. I picked up another Beefcake for $7. I wish the other Walmarts would do this. Frederick Gamestop: Retrofest Macho Man and Shawn Michaels. Parts of Elite 60 & 59 Angle. I picked up the only Giant Machine, but it looks to be from the initial shipment without the running change of the longer singlet. I figure I'll just use this one for my Wrestlemania 2 Andre, and pick up another later with the longer singlet for Giant Machine. Frederick Walmart on 26: Elite 55 & 56, basic 83 & 84. Battle Packs 49 & 50. Monsters and Build-A-Finks. Lots of Wrestlemania figures and Battle Packs crammed in the normal section. Summerslam shipper appears to be selling well: Also: Frederick Target: Elite 54 Cena (2), and Charlotte (2). Elite 58 Ambrose (1). Hall of Champions Battle Packs 1 for $24.99. HOC Undertaker, Batista, and Eddie, 1 of each. NXT Rusev, Reigns, andd Roode. Battle Packs 51, and basic 83 & 84. I picked up a Tough Talker Ric Flair for $7.48. Frederick Kmart: Basic 77, Elite 53 Owens (2) and Big E (1). Battle Packs 45 (all of them surprisingly), and Entrance Greats Kurt Angle. Money in the Bank storage cases, etc.

Honestly, I don't mind street gear figures but the execution of this one is atrocious! I want a street gear Andre.

Here is this crime against humanity... Dunno why that had me rolling 😂 That Triple H reminds me of "The Duke of Dorchester" Pete Doherty for some reason.
