Wow, this is crazy. I barely saw this set around me (who knows, it may pop up again closer to the holiday rush) but I think the issue here is they got too many Henrys out in too little time.
Yes, there was a time where there really weren't any new Marks, especially during his title reign, but afterwards we just got what seemed like one after the other (B17, BOPPV, E15, B22, BP17) Plus, add in he hasn't been on TV in months and that 4 of those 5 figures I mentioned are pretty much in the same attire almost, and you get what is happening now.

BASIC 17 is such a shelf warming set. Yeah it sure is! Ryder is the only figure that sells instantly. Ziggler and Riley are great figures too but I've seen Ziggler stay on the pegs for a while. And Riley being only 1 per case should sell fast but it doesn't. |

Yep. That's true. However, in this area, E15 and Basic 17 are the only Henrys that have come around. |

I'm lucky for online this year, because sets like B17 haven't really shown up around me at all. Maybe once, but never multiple times.
I saw B13, B16, & B19 probably as much as you guys have seen B17. B14 is just starting to show up in prominence around me, but other than that I have only seen B15, B17, B18, & B20, once maybe twice.
I expect those sets to show up in the coming months. Hopefully everyone will be able to get different sets around then and not have stuff like this happen.

Yeah, there are a lot of Mark Henry figures in my Toys R Us, Basic 17 and Basic Best of 2010, but kids in my country seem to like it, and they buy it a lot

Then Mattel wonders why we complain so much about distribution.
I tried starting a thread about who got what but it was removed for some reason.
I don't want to say Mark Henry is an impossible to find figure but where I live he isn't the easiest to find.
We just got E15 and I spotted him 3 times. 2 different Walmarts, and 1 Target. Those are long gone now. I saw his BOPPV Figure once, and TRU got one case of B17 back in March and that was that. We didn't get anymore B17 since.
I don't get how some areas get over saturated with a series, and how another area gets none. It makes no sense of anykind, and I am really starting to hate the big box stores for it.
BTW Any Cena figure sporting the Red Attire deserves this award. Mattel made way too many of those figures.

Yeah it seems like Truth and Mysterio are the Shelf Warmers of E15. I was surprised to see so many Punk&Cena Rumbler packs at the Walmart in Anaheim. Peep the Truth switcharoo in the corner. Despicable!  Looks like that R Truth's shirt has been replaced with a hat. |

Henry is usually a strong seller in my area, but...
a) Henry's been off tv for so long now. That always impacts the kid buyers.
b) Once you get one Henry, you have them all. There's very little need to keep updating him when all he does is change the color of his logos. Orton has the same problem, and not surprisingly he's a huge shelfwarmer anymore, too.

The only place I've seen B17 in CT was at TRU. They were hanging on the pegs the same day they had the display with E14.
For the current Walmart reset, they seem to be stocking RRH and B15. I've seen WMH pegwarmers for months.

I haven't seen a Mark Henry - Basic or Elite at retail the whole of this year.
Seems like you're keeping them all in the US!
