Wal-Mart and Target Resets

[azraelms]

I was at a Wal-Mart in Hudson Wisconsin on Friday night and they had a fresh case of Elite 14 on the shelves - Got myself a Bossman and a Booker. Some stores may only be getting 1 case, and some may be getting 2, depending on the size of the store.

[Don't Go Down]

I hope I'm not too late to go to Wal Mart and see. It's frustrating that it pretty much comes down to getting there at the right time before the store is flooded with shelf warmers for months. But I appreciate tampatoys at least sharing his experiences and what works for him. Personally I have to go through all sorts of means as a collector. Toy hunting has expanded to loose figure bins at comic shops, matty online, trading, eBay... where it used to be just a trip to the shops every couple of weeks. I guess the challenge keeps it interesting.

Hopefully can get some of these flashbacks, finally!

A couple Wal Marts near me haven't even carried Elites in 6 months or so. Talk about a reset needed here!

Just hang in there. They always pop up when you least expect it. You can always have an associate scan the figure to see if another case is on the truck.

I've seen E14 at Walmart, including the Rock. This sounds legit to me.

Stores do resets. It's not that hard to believe.

Im not sure on the whole Target Reset buti know my Walmart had there sheets out the other day and that was just to make room for Spiderman and Dark Knight Rises figures. My Walmart did have Elite 14 in the back and they put them out but they have had Elite 14 for awhile also i asked a employee i know @ night to scan a few items for me he told me my Walmart will not carry the 2 packs anymore which sucks if true and that they had a case of 12 basic figures on order and i hope these figures will be Baisc 18 when they get them in.....

As far as Target goes they just reset the action figures this week to make room for Dark Knight Rises and Spider-man. The WWE section was made smaller with less room for both Elites and Basic figures. They did not pull any figures, whatever doesn't fit goes to backstock. For Target to pull certain figures, Mattel would have to initiate a return for product. On the Wal-Mart front I have no idea other than to say the Wal-Mart's here suck. I only found Undertaker and Cena from Elite 14 at one store and nothing else.

This may be true. My Walmart just restocked with a ton of E14 Rocks, Cenas and Takers, but no Bookers or Bossmans

[Von Hooten]

Both my Walmart and Target did resets and... nothing.

My Walmart did put out E13, and B13. No 6" Avengers Either, nit even pegs.

My Target shortened the WWE section and before where pegs were just starting to look empty, now look full. Same amount of crap is still there that has been there for months, but now consilidated. Yay!

I went past Walmart around 9:00am this morning but couldn't stop and go in at the time. I stopped by this afternoon, and found 2 Orton/Christian packs, 1 ADR/Show pack, 0 Otunga/Hennig packs, and 1 lone E14 'Taker was all they had left of E14. There was a worker in the aisle stocking Star Wars stuff. I asked him when they got this stuff in. He said they put a fresh batch out this morning. REALLY?!?! All that was left was ONE ING UNDERTAKER?
-_-
They also had B15 Cena, Kane, and Wade.

Tough luck man! I know all the Targets and Walmarts around here restock every Thursday morning or Wednesday Nights.

I love the feeling of excitement I get when I see fully stocked Pegs. I was happy to find Kelly and Hunico at my Target a few weeks ago.

Walmart does resets all the time but this is the newest one to prepare for Dark Knight, GI JOE and Spiderman toys.

Didnt that GI Joe movie get delayed for a year? Man, that toymaker probably aint gonna be too happy about that!

[BOOM! #WDE]

Went to my Target and both Wal-Marts and neither have done a reset. They're still filled with old crap.

[dandaman619]

The latest resets I've seen at my Target is Basic 15 like 2 months ago and then about 3 weeks ago, we got Basic 18 all in. Weird thing was it was a friday when both seemed to be stocked because i went there both times the day before and it was the same old Cena's.

[qdogg]

My Walmart pulled all their basic figures and elites (they still had some rumblers and rings)and I didnt see anywhere else they put them. Does that mean we are getting a reset or they have pulled the plug on em lolz
