Went to my WM last night and they were re-setting the toy aisle. The lady that works there told me they were doing the action figures and LEGO aisle over night. Last night they had 3 macho man, one Vader, a Mr. Perfect and the usual cohort of rock, bray, and Shango.
Went in first thing this morning. The aisle is completely different. There’s a worker there unloading stuff and has moved past the wrestling section. That section is clearly done and they’re moving down the aisle. I’m getting a little pumped. Get to the superstars and who’s there? More bray Wyatt’s than there were last night, a MDM that wasn’t there before, and Shango. The other usual suspects that were there last night are gone, not in the clearance aisle either.
So, they sent the Macho man, rock, Vader, and perfect figures somewhere (the back or more likely Ollies processing) and put out more old stock Bray Wyatts.
I would say it’s Walmart, but honestly the McFarlane and LEGO stuff is always up to date. Most other things too. Only specific lines from Mattel and Hasbro are like this frequently. It’s on them in my mind
This line will die a slow, painful death; and I will never see Andre.

Found another Andre today Lucky I have it but I never saw Andre in a store yet. I believe someone scooped perfect bam bam bigelow and Mr t and Rick rude last night from the closest store to me.

Today started off bad but the moment I gave up on Walmart and went to target my luck changed. Found the chase yokozuna at my first target and then later saw 3 more but let others have them. Also saw someone with the ichiban hogan chase but only the one. If only we had this kind of availability to get excited for. Every target store had at least 9 albano/ali/sultan and one case of 4 yokozuna, one chase per case like the superstars chase hogans. So tomorrow we are supposed to see something at Walmart? Not sure what but at best a case or 2 of s8. So we are on schedule for a repeat of last year when s4 first came out in July. The chase around targets looking for new legends was more fun than I have had in a year. It wasn't difficult but you still had to make the effort to get out early. It was so easy figuring out where to go. The target app was 100% accurate on inventory and the pop finder app seemed to be useful for finding the chase. Not to mention that you could literally buy all 4 yoko in the case before even stepping foot through the door. We have none of these options with Walmart Edit: I did not find the superstars ali, just the target ali. Edit#2: i used the typhoon body for the superstars albano Edit #3: I am so done with this nonsense. I will just buy legends and convert them into motu figures. I am done supporting this line at Walmart. This is ridiculous. I drove 4 hours the other day to find my first in store albano, vader, perfect and only the 2nd time seeing rude. If I didn't get lucky last July I would also be my first mr.t. so yeah this is too frustrating and now watching those figures come out in stores when I had to pay double on ebay that stings man. I waited until almost March to buy perfect and now he may end up at Ollie's? Total bs. Never again will I support a Walmart exclusive line. Good luck to those of you sticking it out but you Re just wasting your time. Check the I interview ringside did at wrestlemanias superstore. Superstars got what 30 seconds? When these are on creations or at target then this line has potential but as the poster above said, this line is going to have a slow death (if it stays at walmart) and I don't want to be witness to all that. I can pick up any other Mattel figure and put their soft goods on a motu figure and boom a superstar!!! Will be cheaper than paying full price on these at chinamart. Good riddance walmart!

Did I miss something? I probably did. When or who said Mr Perfect might show up at Ollie’s? Would that include Bam Bam as well? Any input or news would be appreciated…

Calm down, bud! It's not that serious to have a coronary over these things. I will easily "stick it out" and look for them. I hunt at one of my local WMs daily, I may find them but likely will not, and it's okay if I don't. I may find something else, I may not. And that is okay. I have in the past also missed out by mere seconds on Andre and most recently Chase Yoko. And that is okay. Will never be worth getting worked up over.

Stopped by Walmart today and they were in the middle of the reset. Superstars are down to one peg. At first it looked like the usual collection of Rock and Hogan but I found a Doink behind them, which is the first I have seen him. Doink was one of my most wanted so I am glad to have him.
Looks like the Vader/Captain Lou wave just skipped my area. Maybe they will turn up eventually but I am not going to go crazy looking for them at this point.

Beautiful. Just disappointed, I haven't seen anything past the Albano wave, and I only saw that set twice. Getting worried about finding the Andre/Doink/Hogan wave and the others.

Same here. I love this series but I got in late and I can't find a bunch of them, even the ones that still seem to be popping up for others.

Yeah. Seems like more stores got flooded with Series 3 and Series 5. Those figures are still hanging around, and the stores won't discount them to move them off the shelf so they can put new waves on instead. I don't get it.

Hopefully this all works out in the end. I have TONS of Vaders at my Walmart. Vader and Piper are literally the only figures we have, two pegs full. It's crazy to me that he's hard to find for some. Albano I dont see as often but every couple of weeks I'll see a new one on the pegs.

Yeah same here…
One local Walmart has had a ton of million dollar man’s for months talking 6 months
Another Walmart has gotten stuff in but older recently a perfect, bam bam bigelow yellow hogan, they have a Rick rude rock macho man. Someone bought the bam bam, perfect
3rd Walmart had a few capt lou and Vader and rock and piper.
Haven’t seen much more than that around my area. I’m up to date have the Ali Kane and British bulldog I got online.

Im in Long Island NY and the Andre series have been very available in my area. The other day they had 3 cases. Granted Andre is always the first to go but yesterday they had a full set with Hogan chases.
