So one of the Walmart's close by is where I've been finding all of the new stuff at first usually. Well I went in Wednesday and noticed a lot of the WWE product had been changed to the red price tags.
I went back there today (looking for Basic 5 which I didn't find) and they reset the isle and moved all the Elite's, Tough Talkers, & the ring with Cena/Show into the clearance isle. Is this happening anywhere else?

Isn't happening at my Walmart, but then again... my Walmart only ever had basics to begin with.

I really hope they rollback the price on the one WWE item they have here. I've had my eye on the empty vinyl aggression Jake Roberts box for weeks now. Damn if I'll pay full price for an empty box.  |

The Wal-Marts in my area have been pretty intellectually- disabled lately, but they've finally started to get some good stuff in. I just bought all of Elite 4 there, can't wait to find Elite 5.

Yeah I don't really understand why they are doing it. I mean I don't care about the Tough Talkers or the ring. However I do care about the Elites and this was one of the only Walmart's around that would get new stuff in regularly. There is another one that get's new stuff as well but I mean it's a 45 minute drive. I have another 2 Walmart's close by as well but they have never carried the Elite series. So I'm going to have to drive 45 minutes every time a new set comes out, wait for TRU/Target to get them (which takes forever) or spend extra money online just to buy them.  |

I'm afraid of my local Wal-Mart's too. One hasn't really stocked anything in a month, and the other has had an assload of Basic/PPV figures sitting there, not moving. I have a feeling I won't be seeing too much by me. It sucks because there is simply no hope for TRU, and Target seems to get stuff in a bit later. Hopefully all works out well though and I see Elite 5/Basic 5 soon...

Your WalMart might be one of the stores downsizing. Late last year WalMart said they were cutting their toy dept, craft dept, and one other dept in half because they felt the stores looked cluttered. My closest WalMart did that in Feb since then the only Mattel action figures they've had were Avatar, some other cartoon figures and FlexForce. They did have everything in January, but since Jan they only had Flexforce, 1 case of Basic 3 and 3 cases of Basic 4 but that's it. No other WWE lines, DCUC (even the WalMart exclusives) no Batman Brave and the Bold, No DCIH. All lines they carried before the deptment downsized.

My walmart is still stuck on Elite 2. None of my Wal-Marts never even got Elite 2. Do they have R Truth. |

I've not seen any Elites at my local Wal-mart, but Meijers and Toys R Us both have them.

The mod is being reset at my store, and they might shove off a few items like Flexforce is at Target. I scanned the pegs at my store today, and basics, elites, and 2 packs are all on order, but the warehouse doesn't have any in yet. Which means SE Michigan stores probably won't get any until early August. I don't know about CT Walmarts though.
Hold tight, they'll probably be behind the times a bit like usual. I'm sure the figures aren't going anywhere.

The wal-mart closest to me still has basic 3 Jericho and Orton warming the shelf. If they get any new stuff they sell out in a day.
