Head over to the next city over. Maybe it's a bit different. Stores cannot restock what hasn't sold. Maybe your stores have a hard time selling the figures so they don't bother keeping up with them. In my area, I have seen everything, literally. There has not been any figure I have not been able to get at least 5x over. You guys need to hit muliptle stores to find something tho. MULTIPLE wal mart, kmart and TRU. I don't check just my local area but the whole eastern side of Connecticut plus parts of Rhode Island. That includes multiple Walmart's, Target's and a couple TRU stores. At every one it's the same few figures that have been sitting there so long now they are covered in dust. It's not like there isn't room for new stuff they just literally aren't getting any new product in at all. This is the home state of the WWE you would think stores would be fully stocked and up to date but I guess that's to much to ask for.

I know a lot of us have mentioned the bad distribution before but I think it's hit an all time low. I stopped collecting the Mattel line but I still go in to stores all the time and can't help but take a look to see what's there. I haven't seen any new product on the pegs in months. Did the distribution completely die in anyone else's area? I haven't seen a single sign of any of these Basic 15 - came and went quickly at TRU Basic 17 - came and went quickly at TRU Basic 18 - came and went quickly at Target Basic 19 - currently at Target Basic 20 - haven't seen Elite 14 - currently at Wal-Mart, at TRU a long time ago Elite 15 - haven't seen BP 16 - came and went quickly at Wal-Mart and TRU BP 17 - haven't seen The sad thing is a lot of these figures sell - but if Mattel insists on ramming the same figures down our throats that nobody wants, we all suffer - the fans, the stores, even Mattel themselves. Dummies.
