Hey guys, just found this gem at Walmart in Forest City, NC. Sole elite on the shelves. Pic of receipt and in store as well. Not sure how this ended up here at a Walmart. Went ahead and picked her up but went in looking for The anvil.

Oh Mattel.....can't get anything to stores except the wrong stuff to the wrong stores. It's AMAZING that with allllllllll the issues that could potentially plague a toy line, the main issue with Mattel is and ALWAYS HAS BEEN their inability to understand how to put sh*t into boxes and get it correctly where it needs to go!

I also found it interesting that she rang up as an assortment of random numbers. Not under WWE elite. Albeit it’s been along time since I’ve bought An elite in store so maybe they have always been doing that or for the last little while, but my recollection was they rang up as Wwe elite assortment

Maybe it was their 3rd party warehouse that delivered to the wrong stores.

This is like the 3rd or 4th one I've heard of being found at Wal-Mart now. 🤣

I love that when scarcity becomes more pronounced than originally anticipated, even the most vehement anti-resellers start saying to themselves "man, $100 sure is a lot of money..."

Yeah the scarcity of everything has really changed my opinion on reselling

If it was the only Elite in the store maybe it was returned there? Pretty sure in WalMart’s system Elites ring up as “assortment” on the receipt.

Closest target is a good hour + drive so I’d be very confused as to why someone would have returned it here. Maybe it was a gift and they didn’t want it? And as you say the closest Target is an hour away and seeing Elites all share the same DPCI at Target or SKU at WalMart it was easier for them to return it there. While a store getting a case that should be a different retailers isn’t that uncommon...It just seems odd that they got a Target case at Walmart and the Exclusive figure was the only figure left out of the whole case.

I don't know who to be mad at anymore, the scalpers, the people who over pay for this stuff, or Mattel for handling basically everything wrong. You are all feeding into this. Meanwhile thats more money saved for me to give to Jazwares.
