My Walmarts don't even stock Elites anymore. I haven't found a single one in moths, except for the exclusive Rock. Just tons of basics and battle packs, completely clogging the shelves.
It's impressive they finally got rid of the Ellsworths, Big Casses (Cassi?), Top Talents and Monsters figures, though. Must've sent them back somewhere.

Walmarts in my area barely stock Elites or Marvel Legends. Literally the same stuff everytime

My Walmart needs a sale to move the Romans and Bryans from 68 and Miz from 69 that are currently clogging the pegs so I can get Vince and Balor from 70. This but instead of Bryan mine has Brie

I saw that Zack Ryder video today and he's like "oh look, the Ghostbuster elites..", like I want those! Don't tell me that ONE Undertaker figure is keeping them from ordering a new case. Same thing for Dragonball figures, there's this one scrawny kid figure nobody wants, they got one new case all year besides the two scrawny kid figures that have been there for as long as they've had them on the modular, those sold, and they just had those two for several months, and now they took them off the mod completely and I have to go to Amazon I guess. Target is supposed to carry them, but it seems no stores in Michigan carry them for some reason. GameStop has them, but they're $3 over retail and I'm not doing that. Ya can't just buy anything figure related at your leisure nowadays without a dedicated toy store. This has kind of been the case with a lot of lines for a while...well, it started in the '90s with Starting Lineup basketball and football, and then as time went on and the internet came into it's own, figures got better and better...then the scalper issue and the fact that kids weren't buying action figures as much anymore. I think it's to the point where kids would rather have a videogame or a tablet instead of a piece of plastic. Add that to the fact that there is no nationwide dedicated store to toys anymore and distribution takes a big hit. I still think at Target and Walmart toys and on a smaller level, action figures are more of an afterthought. I know that I used to be able to hunt Marvel Legends successfully back when there were TRU's and everything. Now it seems like I'm buying any wave or figure off of a dedicated online store for them. I mean, with the "Fan Channel exclusives" and "Walgreens Exclusive"s There have just been more than 2 waves worth of figures that were just released exclusively online and Gamestop or in Walgreens exclusives case, Walgreens. And these aren't just lame repaints. One of these is a pretty sought after X-Men 3 pack with a much requested re-do of a Jim Lee Jean Grey. They are just now releasing another regular wave to stores with what is probably the last Endgame based Wave (Build a Figure Lebowski Thor). And Hasbro has better Distro with these figures than Mattel does with WWE (and some of the distro issues on both ends are just unacceptable). If we had dedicated Toy Stores and a renaissance in action figure interest then I think distribution would be a lot better.

My closest Walmart is so full of Basic 97 that nothing else will probably ever see the light of day.

... got in 1-2 cases of E68 and E69 the last few months, then a span of almost a month between fresh stocking of empty shelves. Not bad, not good either.
Never saw them Ghostbusters figs at all.

...doesn’t stock elites. Chocked full of repackaged Star Wars figures that are obviously wrong. Gives me the impression they want to punch me no matter what department I may be in.

...has been sitting on the same seven Elite 68 figs for over a month now. Literally, not a single one has sold. They also got a total of 4 cases of them when they first came out. Haven't seen 69 there yet and probably wont. I'd be shocked if they got 70 or Survivor series. Oh, and they never got the Ghostbusters set either. Had to drive 20 min to get that.

You should do a "My Target..." thread, too

I have 5 walmart stores in my area, 0 got ghostbusters so I still don't have them. I may just give up on getting them, it can always get worse.
