Randleman Wal Mart has tons of E79 Both Fish regular and chase, Sharie, about 10 special Takers. Also have all Survivor Series minus Kane and all DOD minus Taker and Henry as of 6:00 pm tonight Are you sure this was Randleman and not Asheboro? I seen three of fish between the pegs and what was on the top shelf at Randleman. Where were they located? This was Randleman. Asheboro had zero Elites Maybe I’m wrong about Fish but I thought I looked at them and they were different. Maybe I’m wrong. I was trying to find a DOD Undertaker lol

Why can’t chase figures be implemented into every Elite sub series?
For example maybe HBK could have been in Wrestlemania line, JoMo in Survivor Series line, Steamboat or Cole in the Takeover line
Warrior or Austin in the Royal Rumble line
Not criticizing, just genuinely curious to know if down the road that could be an option

Referencing the earlier notion that Pillman warmed hard I can confirm I picked him up for $5 at Five Below. But then again, the entire set could have been over produced because I got the Rock, Kane, and Goldust from that set from there also. That set did not warm hard. That was that time period where WM and Target cut their orders significantly, due to E32 thru 34 mess and case rereleases, then E39, whatever happened with that That’s why Big Lots ended up with tons of E46 and Five Below got lots of E40 and other series. I think TRU went under about that same time so their stock was probably shipped all over the place

These reveals look great today. Will be buying a lot of them
But there is a real lack of first time in the line Flashbacks and Legends (Hayes which we already knew about from RSC having it for preorder)
Can we expect some sprinkled in the line in 2021 or are y’all running out of options?

What is the deal with Wal Mart charging $47 in store (2 different stores so far) for the Police Station Assault Terminator? Was going to get it, but no way in hell I’m buying it for $50! Anyone else ran into this issue? Bring it over to a price scanner. It never hurts to double check. I have at 2 different store. Like $46.87 or something like that at each one. Crazy

(LOL) Sorry. Not laughing at you. Just the ludicrousness of my statement at face value, 'cause, yeah, that's a big number. And I just woke up. XD 20 Walmarts in my area, yes. That is within a 40 mile radius. A literal 15-minute drive between Walmarts. Here in the south... Oklahoma specifically... there really is nothing else better to do. The closer you get to Walmart HQ of Bentonville, Arkansas, Walmarts become more plentiful. I found it odd when I went to the Los Angeles area for work, Targets are more predominant, practically one every 15 minute's drive. Walmarts are more scarce, and located in rather seedy neighborhoods. Ahh, I see. If you want to get really technical, I have 10 or so walmarts in that radius. But, see, the problem is that my home is like the center of a wheel, with each of those walmarts being the end of a spoke. And there's no easy way to get between spokes. Basically, If I were to go to one of those walmarts, I'd then have to backtrack a distance, then go out to the next spoke. Then, to get to the next one, I'd have to come twice as far back from there to get to the one after that. Several of the spokes I'd have to travel all the way back to my house and then start over from there. It's not like you can just go in a circle with it and then return to base. It's easy enough to get to Ebensburg, Johnstown, Punxey, Tarentum, and all those places from here, but here is the starting point and all of those towns are in different directions with not a lot of highway in between. The three next closest walmarts are Blairsville, Punxey, and Kittanning. But, you can't get to Kittanning from Blairsville without coming through here first. Same with Punxey to Kittanning and Blairsville to Punxey and do you see my dilemma? LOL From my house. If you did a circle of a 30 mile radius I have 13 Wal Marts. And that doesn’t even count Neighborhood Market stores And that’s in NC Granted most of them suck 75% of the time, but still. That’s a lot

But they have. My Target Orndorff isn't even shipped yet. I got it in a store myself and cancelled the order. People already have the Randy Orton. Normally I'd stick (I will never cancel NJPW, Masked Republic or AEW) but I really don't care about Orton enough to want it that much. I get 99% of my figures online. We don't have Wal-Marts so I'll never see it in the wild. But in the end who cares, it was Randy Frickin Orton. Well I was pissed that they took and filled new orders for the Orton in early October while I still have him preordered since April 2. He was the only Must Have figure from wave 1. I also had the Undertaker preordered but didn’t/don’t really care if I don’t receive him because I have every other debut, grey/black and purple/black attires Undertaker they have released. But I have wanted and Orton in those shorts since his first Jakks RA1 figure. But I didn’t cancel my order. I will keep it until I find it in the store or one of my two preorders ships. I can say just in my case, I have chosen to cancel several Target preorders just due to the fact that they keep taking out hundreds of dollars every month (for multiple lines of preordered stuff) when 95% of the time it’s showing up in stores first. I don’t have the extra hundreds for them to keep tying up month after month just to drop me in the end But I’m with you on Wal Mart. I never cancel anything from them, Amazon or Big Bad until I find it in store prior to them shipping it out. I’ve still got my DOD Kane and Triple H preorders from June or July, hopefully they don’t cancel them on me

Idk if you have any knowledge on this so just throwing it out there Do you know why Target has been selling Legends in stores before fulfilling the online preorders? They are street dared 11/1 so maybe that has something to do with it? They really shouldn’t be ‘for sale’ yet. Probably wrong, just throwing it out there

Walmart really never do good at stocking exclusive elites remember survivor series never showed up in stores you could only get them online and these are only two series so we probably want to see them in stores I might be wrong. Kind of makes me worried about the upcoming Fan TakeOver series. 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Is Fan Takeover Wal Mart exclusive too?

You mention Walgreens. At least Hasbro can get then to carry their products. Star Wars, Power Rangers, Marvel Legends (all with exclusives), GI Joe, Transformers Diamond Select and McFarlane have more shelf space than Mattel there. They can’t get them to carry their product half the time, much less maintain exclusives. These are supposedly one of the most popular action figures out there (referring to WWE Elites), and they do a piss poor job at distributing them EVERYWHERE Hasbro couldn’t do any worse Walgreens had exclusive WWE figures, but they were C-tier figures that were guaranteed to warm. 2006 DX, and then the women's line when female Elites had historically been poor sellers. I can't blame Walgreens for dropping the program when it just backed up shelves. Hasbro are far from beyond reproach. It has literally been a couple of years since I have found current Black Series figures in any store. But I can say 100% that the marketing, communication, and ability to build hype for a line is lightyears better from Hasbro. And I love their collector engagement, reveal schedule, and how they love dropping teasers. A far cry from Mattel's Fort Knox approach. Regarding your top comment. I see that as a Mattel problem. It’s their job to give these places exclusives that will be in demand. It’s been years now. Do a damn buyback program and donate them and write it off or something. Sell Walgreens on your popular product, and work with them! Marvel has had some crap exclusives that I STILL see (Ant Man, Madusa, Sue Storm) but that’s hasn’t stopped Walgreens from having 4 - 6 Marvel exclusives every year since. Same for Star Wars Just seems like Mattel doesn’t have their stuff together, whether it’s Wal Mart exclusives, Target exclusives, communication and transparency with the fan base, understanding their fan base, amongst other things

Do you collect Marvel Legends? If so honestly, how many do you never see available? In my experience not very many its the same thing. Certain stores skip entire waves and you might have to go to Walgreens or GameStop to find them. And if you get into exclusives, several people had difficulty finding F4 after Daredevil and Ant man warmed so long You mention Walgreens. At least Hasbro can get then to carry their products.

Honestly between the distribution and the part choices I’m more than ready for Hasbro to get the WWE license The whole action figure industry is messed up and Hasbro getting the WWE license isn't going to change a thing. Do you collect Marvel Legends? If so honestly, how many do you never see available? In my experience not very many
