others have reported this as well so I’m thinking Walmart is getting cases without anvil, wouldn’t be surprised if anvil starts showing up at target lol. We know it’s possible. That would be my guess, but can’t say for sure. yeah I know idk if nearly 2 cases of figures would sell before they even make the shelve though but it is possible.

Ya know, I don't necessarily have a problem with the retail exclusives, but when cases show up at a store and they don't have the exclusives they should, that's royally ed up. Full disclosure: I've already found Anvil.

Got 2 cases of 74 tonight finally. Had to bug the lady to get the 2 cases from the BOTTOM of the pallet of course...but nonetheless decided to grab 2 ANVIL and a Goldberg. Stoked!

I noticed something when I was hunting E74 last night....my closest Walmart sells the Elites for $14.88 & the next closest to me across town sells the very same figures for $15.88....anyone else noticed them doing this where you’re at? ....I never paid attention to this before but now I’m like WTF??? .... Still all empty pegs BTW

Found an open case of E74 on a pallet tonight. Strangely there were 2 Finn, 2 AJ, and 1 Natalya left there. Not sure if that means it was possibly a Neidhart-less case, but Finn should be the only figure double packed. Either that or there were two cases and someone bought up A LOT of figures. Yeah, I saw all eight figures on the shelf yesterday with two AJ and two Finn. I forgot the Anvil should've been in the case.

My Walmart is almost always dead. 5 out of every 6 months are dead. But that 1 month is glorious, it's how I got that Rock exclusive.

Just saw 2 fresh cases with no Neidhart. Packed with 2 x AJ and 2 x Balor.

I get the purpose of store exclusives is to get people into stores to look but what’s the point when the stores aren’t even getting the cases with them anymore, there have been so many reports of people finding elite 71 cases without Paige and ohno and elite 74 cases now without anvil, plus the target exclusive Peyton Royce only being found at Walmart.

God, my WM’s still has one Brie Bella that’s been there since August. It got E68, the Ghostbusters wave but nothing new since.
Meanwhile, my local Walgreens got Lince Dorado & Goldberg 😆

Came across 5 new cases of elite 74 between 3 different walmart's yesterday. None had the anvil all were double packed with AJ and balor

The walmart I've been keeping tabs on got in a second case of Elite 74 on February 19th (this case had Anvil as well). That day I bought the Goldberg just so I could get the title and I'm going to unload the figure for cheap. As of yesterday morning they were down to a single Finn.

I guess here we go again...… this Walmart really disgusted me today - as they show zero pride in their toy department (and it's one of the bigger Walmarts in the area) - it looked as though a small hurricane had run through and destroyed the aisles - and not ONE SINGLE WWE action figure of ANY type to be found..... No, I don't think anyone at Walmart cares about these WWE figures...… but I'm sick & tired of wasting my time walking into these stores & finding a toy section that clearly nobody is bothering to manage (or even take a look at). If this is the best they can do - they might as well not even HAVE a toy department. I mean - do managers even walk around in these stores & LOOK at the state of the shelves? Because THIS might be the worst I've ever seen...… For whatever it's worth (probably NOTHING) - Brick Seek has them listed as having 6+ figures IN STOCK...….. where might they be? Guess I'll send a few letters..... not that it'll help. Collecting WWE figures in 2020 has become nothing but disappointment - this hobby used to bring me great joy, but now it's only frustration, as these stores refuse to stock anything of interest. And then we come to find out through NY Toy Fair that Walmart is getting EVEN MORE Legends exclusives...… great, more figures we'll NEVER see. Above all - I would really like for a representative of Walmart to explain to me why their shelves are continually allowed to look this way: On the advice of a friend who works at (a different) Walmart - I went ahead & posted to their local Facebook page as well: I received the following response from "Mary" with Walmart Customer Service: Recently you requested personal assistance from Walmart.com Customer Care. Below is our response and a summary of your request. Reference#: Response email (02/24/2020 12:44 PM) Hi Frank, Thank you for contacting Walmart.com. My name is Mary and it is a pleasure for me talking to you today. First of all, please accept my apologies for this situation with the way the store is handled and the WWE pegs that are still not in stock, I know that you ran with the hassle of visiting the store December of 2019 and I sincerely apologize for this. Let me take a look into this and I will be glad to assist yo. I understand that you put your trust in us to have a great experience in our store with the items and the way the store is handled and you expected that it would be organized and I regret that we have not been able to meet your expectations; I would like to mention that we want each problem to be managed in the best possible way for our customers. Because of this, we have created multiple customer service teams. In this case, to ensure that stores receive the appropriate feedbacks so they can improve, I have escalated this situation to our Walmart store specialists. Frank, your case will be escalated under reference #: 2002-0249, and you will receive a response, if necessary, within 72 hours; otherwise, it will be handled internally with the employees, but you can be sure that the necessary measures will be taken and they ill do everything they can to place the items in stock again, and ensure that the shelves of the store are always organized. Rest assured that we are always working to improve our service and provide the best online shopping experience possible.

Just saw 2 fresh cases with no Neidhart. Packed with 2 x AJ and 2 x Balor. Same. Very sad to see a full case with no chase!

There are 10 Wal-Marts within 30 miles of my home. Over the last couple weeks or so I decided to take note of how many Elites are at each Walmart. Here is what I got (Sorted by Closest to me)
Walmart #1: Zero Walmart #2: Zero Walmart #3: Zero Walmart #4: Zero Walmart #5: Zero Walmart #6: Zero Walmart #7: Zero Walmart #8: Zero Walmart #9: 2 Daniel Bryans and 2 Triple H's (4) Walmart #10: 2 AJ Styles and a Big Cass (3)
So that sums up how fun it is to be a collector in my area these days.

Similar experience here. I hit 6 Walmarts this weekend and saw zero Elites. Most stores just had a few Seth Rollins Basics.

4 stores got (2) cases each of E74 last night. All are Balor/Styles X2 cases. This is so annoying.
