What I don’t understand is if these things are set to be released soon, Wal Mart just did toy resets within the last couple of months. There’s no spots for DOD Even Steve l, when he answered questions on here, said maybe they’ll just throw them on same pegs as Elites. For one they probably won’t be the same price as the $15 Elites Secondly, all the other sublines or special releases for other brands, always have their own slot on the planogram, so why is Mattel WWE any different? I’m not in retail so maybe I’m dead wrong but I go to a lot of Wal Marts and that’s the case at 99% of them If there's no spot on the planogram for them, there's always the possibility that they're delivered as an end cap or action alley feature.

I just have in my head another Fan Central / Survivor Series issue. Where they get thrown on clearance aisle for full price then a week later they are $5.00 each I hope not because I’d like to have a real shot at finding a Taker and a Mark Henry at least We will see

Major Wrestling Figure Podcast just uploaded the unboxing for Wave 1 of the DOD...these mfs got them for free while ours get delayed after we paid and haven't got a word from Mattel on them ever since. How dare they give the most popular wrestling figure podcast figures in advance to potentially influence their millions of followers? Millions? LMAO They have 22k twitter followers, so I HARDLY doubt they have ANYWHERE near millions of followers. They may think they have that many, but Zack Ryder isn't as important as he thinks he is.

They have 91,000 youtube subscribers, 44,000 followers on Instagram and can get their fans to buy their merchandise like they are stone cold in 1999.

So, the revised ship date is SUPPOSED to be late next week right? Mine has just been saying "delayed check back later for status update" for a while now. I'm not expecting these, not from Walmart anyway, at this point. Yeah I have no idea where people got Sept 30 from. Mine says the same as yours. I think the emails said Sept 30 but that sounds like a placeholder date, usually placeholder dates are at the end of the next month from what I’ve seen.

Cardona has over 2 million followers on twitter alone and constantly promotes the podcast from his personal account. *You can hate the guy all you want, personally I’m not that high on him myself, but you can’t deny that he has a huge following of loyal fans willing to spend money.

Maybe they’ll only be online like the Survivor Series was? The only SS I saw on the pegs was a month or two ago at my local Shop Rite. And they still have a Fox on the pegs. lol Never found them at any of the five area WalMarts.

I pre ordered Cena and Orton but the second wave has Kane which I want badly.

Oh I agree, his fans will spend mega money on junk. I do not get it.

Having "2 million followers" doesn't mean 2 million read his posts every day. I'd be willing to bet money 750k-1m were just one-click follows who don't even read his posts.

I'm sure no one here knows the answer to this but I'll try anyway. So, once these preorders were listed and ordered, these figures will NEVER be available on Wal-Mart's site to order again? Lol. Seems like an odd business model.

I could see Ringside getting these eventually as these seem eerily similar to the Survivor Series set last year that never really saw mass retail release, at least not that I know of around me.

Does it really matter how many of his followers actually follow him? Regardless, he has a huge social media presence and probably the biggest influencer amongst the wrestling figure collecting community. If you’re Mattel, you definitely want him promoting your product.

The email PJ shared is very similar to one I got from a delayed product in another line. I’m now optimistic some of these will start getting shipped on the 30th but since it is Wal-Mart, I also will not hold my breath
I should confirm the delayed item did ship by the time indicated in the similar email.
