A lot to digest here.... I don't agree with you that there is a "conspiracy" between Mattel and 3rd Party sellers. I think Mattel has a touchy relationship with Walmart - it's the largest retailer in the world. Mattel wants to get as much shelf space and sell Walmart as many toys as possible. That's just good business! That's why they have agreements in place, such as "exclusive lines" to lock-in that retail space. Mattel is the "salesman" here and Walmart is the "buyer" - and Walmart doesn't want to buy any more than they'll sell, because they'll be stuck with product that doesn't move. So I'm sure there's a constant back-n-forth where Mattel pushes Walmart to buy more, and Walmart pushes Mattel to send less. In Walmarts view, these products selling out so quickly is probably a good thing. That means they aren't stuck with dead product that they then have to clearance or re-pack & sell to a discount store (like Ollie's). Meanwhile, I'm sure Mattel has "factory minimums" - where they simply have to produce a certain amount to be viable for the factory to produce them. So if Walmart only wants 20,000 cases of Superstars, but the "factory minimum" is 25,000..... Mattel gets stuck sitting on 5000 cases. I just wish Walmart wasn't so willing to let their shelves run empty for months and months at a time. This isn't a new problem - it's been going on for years. It is a very valid question though - HOW do these 3rd party sellers keep obtaining Superstars Series so early? They do appear on Ebay months before they hit any Walmart store. Where are they getting them from? I do know from credible sources that Walmart both sells off entire pallets that they deem "excess" - there was a man selling Elites at the Flea Market about a year ago, he said he bought an entire pallet from Walmart of mixed items. I also know that Walmart donates entire pallets to charities. I know because I have a relative who picks them up. My assumption is that Walmart feels the stock is excessive, they don't have the staff to unpack it all, and this way they can write it off on their taxes as charitable donations. Just my own theory. I think that explains SOME of the product shortages (Walmart just doesn't stock it, they get rid of entire pallets because they don't have time to deal with them). But it doesn't explain how 3rd Party sellers are getting Walmart exclusive products months in advance, and it doesn't explain the widespread shortage of Elites across the Walmarts, at least the ones in my region. Not with mattel and 3rd party resellers but with walmart and 3rd party sellers. Which we both agree doesnt make sense since these 3rd party resellers are not getting excessive stock but instead the preorder stock before walmart receives it. Those preorders are coming from mattel no doubt. Since mattel wont admit or deny if superstars are still exclusives there is plenty of doubt about the origins of these figures. Lack of transparency fuels theories that usually end up being true. Who is the primary seller now? What is def happening for many years now is that walmart preorders are not being stocked leading to cancellations. So that last question certainly leads to one thinking that the 3rd party resellers are receiving the stock that was supposed to fulfill walmarts preorders. And that is on mattel if true. Bottom line: walmart no longer appears to be the first stop for these things which only mattel can deny. If mattel does deny that then walmart is perhaps "donating" their best stock to these 3rd party "outlet" guys. But that would be so backwards that it would not make sense in any universe. Why give away easy sales (if put online at wm.com would sell out in hours). This is why all parties appear to know what is going on and leaving the customer in the dark. Mattel will take a hands off approach until they start getting questions like "where are the elites and mnw figures and where did s6 superstars go". In the end mattel wants those lines to be successfull. If walmart doesnt stock and "donates" to anonymous nobodies that sell them for 3x what walmart could sell them for until they end up clearanced out on walmarts own website for 4$, THAN people will stop buying them for 20 quid. When we dtop buying from retail and only on ebay than walmart will not reorder UNLESS (this is where you gotta put on your tin foil cap) they still profit somehow regardless. If their profit is using these figures as a tax writeoff than so be it. But at some point you would think mattel wants their customers to be happy and not forced to pay 3x retail price just because walmart is gaining the system. Whatever happened to the customer is right? We are all jumping through loops to obtain these. It should be walmarts job to ensure their customers are taken care of. This is a concept that target still adheres to. If a mom with 2 kids is looking for a christmas present she will go to target because they will actually stock their preorders and give rain checks on items. Walmart doesnt and that instead forces that mom to go online and pay 165$ for s10 or to suck it and drive every day to wwalmart until they decide to release one case. It is like spinning the roulette wheel. Most parents will not put up with that. We as collectors are used to the chase. I have done this for 40+ years now but when product simply doesnt hit shelves you give up and you start questioning everything and then when you realize it is like that everywhere, than you start questioning your sanity. Why continue. No transparency, no changes, no sale I'm not sure if I understand what you're suggesting. But I don't think the 3rd Party sellers are getting them from Walmart. I do think they're getting them directly from Mattel, somehow. I suspect it goes something like this (I'm just using imaginary numbers to illustrate my insane theory): Walmart agrees (conditionally) to order 20,000 cases of Superstars 6. Remember, these things are produced like a FULL YEAR in advance.... Mattel Phillipines factory produces 25,000 (factory minimum). Mattel is now sitting on 5000 cases. Hoping these suckers will sell and Walmart will ask for more. Walmart says to Mattel "Hey wait - our inventory system still shows 10,000 Superstars 5 on our store shelves and warehouses. We can't possibly take 20,000 more. Let's cut the S6 order back to 10,000". Mattel is now sitting on 15,000 cases of Superstars 6. Walmart shoppers are confused because the shelves are mostly empty (because Walmart either sold off the "excess" pallets, donated them to charities, their inventory is just plan wrong, or yes in some cases - the S5 figures are sitting there on shelves for months and months because they didn't distribute them evenly across their thousands of stores. And GUESS WHAT? By now, it's time to start producing Superstars 7..... and Walmart only took 10,000 of Superstars 6..... Mattel's still sitting on 15,000 Superstars 6...... I'm guessing Mattel holds off some - to send to Walmart whenever they DO decide they need more Superstars? Meanwhile Superstars 7 has now started production..... creating a Mattel logjam. This is where Mattel begins selling off cases - likely for pennies on the dollar - to places like Bargain Hunt, Ollie's, Ross, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Dollar General, 5 Below, Burlington Coat Factory, and probably a few shrewd "Online Stores" who have an online shop that primarily sells though..... you guessed it - - - Ebay. You can take this theory and apply it to Superstars, Elites, Basics, whatever. That's my "conspiracy theory". Now I have a headache. Time to take the tin-foil hat off.

I echo your frustration, this is my favourite line as I really like these figures but the horrible distribution has really taken the enjoyment out of trying to collect these. At least you guys in the USA have seen releases of pretty much every wave they have released, here in Canada we have not seen anything past series 2 in stores. I don't understand why the distribution is so terrible and why nothing is being done to improve the distribution?! I also don't understand why they gave this line to Walmart, it should have been a Target exclusive as they have all the Legends stuff?! Walmart already had a similar line (Masters of the WWE Universe) and it failed due to poor distribution- why would you give them this line as well?!
It must be a generational thing as I like to open my figures as well and don't get the whole concept of keeping them in the package?! As for the reselling aspect, how much value will mass produced toys have 10, 20, 30 years from now?! I can understand keeping limited edition figures or figures of wrestlers that Mattel have only made 1 figure of (Rick Martel, Demolition) in box but most of the figures from the various lines are mass produced.
I have had issues with several of these figures not standing up, Earthquake with the bigger legs is the worst as I had a terrible time trying to get it to stand up. Is this is a design flaw or normal for these MOTU style figures?!
I agree about the lack of accessories, I suspect this might be a cost cutting measure but the overall value is lacking. Here in Canada these sell for the same price as elites ($34.95) which is insane IMO. They are smaller, have less articulation and are more cartoonish- they should sell for around $25. My biggest beef is with Bam Bam Bigelow- where are the pants with the flames?! This is supposed to be a 2-in-1 figure but its more like 1 1/2 in 1 as half the attire is missing. Hogan, Mr. T, Captain Lou all came with shirt & pants accessories so why did they cheapen out on Bam Bam?!

I agree with you, and feel your frustration. first thing first, I didn't realize the distribution of these in Canada was so horrible. I feel your pain as being in the US I cannot find them in my area either. I have 3 Walmarts within a decent driving distance and the latest set the furthest one has is Capt Lou albano Vader, the one closest one has Typhoon macho man and rock, and the next one only has about 6 million dollar mans. I almost wish Walmart or mattel would discontinue these, but I heard or read they just renewed to release a bunch more. Next I am a collector and have no interest in selling my collection, I wish I had a better way to display them, looking into a cabinet to finally open mine up and display them. I hear what your saying wonder how many out there buy these to resell them? My brother was buying something WWE weeks ago and he told me 2 other guys were there waiting to get in into a target store just to grab new figures dropping that day, were they collectors or guys there to buy and resell? I can't speak on any of the figures standing yet cause ALL mine are still in the package. I have to admit I have the latest Tatanka, Big Boss Man and Kurt Angle. I bought off eBay overpriced, because like you I don't know if this set will ever be available around me hell I haven't even seen andre the giant, doink or any of those Hogan's around me. Im guessing Muhammad Ali will be very limited everywhere I don't even know 1 Walmart that was available yet. I'm asking myself when do I just pull the plug and stop collecting these being harder to get. Walmart renewing these things blows my mind as they havent stocked them well anywhere. Oh and $34.95 is ALOT for a Superstars figure.

It looks like the distribution of these figures is all over the map, I can't believe this line has made it this far and that it might keep going- I thought for sure it was done for?! This is Bizarro world stuff, very few people are able to find these figures, yet Mattel keeps pumping them out and Walmart wants to keep the line going even though they can't be bothered to stock their shelves and keep them stocked with new product Where did you here that Walmart is renewing the contract, I have not read or heard anything about that? Its funny that Mattel says that this line is a Walmart exclusive yet people have been buying figures from ebay sellers who seem to get them first and this paulmart- who is this and how are they getting full cases of product that is supposed to be exclusive to Walmart? Clearly there are some shady dealings going on here, interesting to know who is selling them the product- Walmart or Mattel?!
I am pretty much done due to Walmart not carrying any new waves and me not wanting to pay scalper prices. I was hoping to add a few more to my collection (Mr. Perfect, 80s Hogan, Bigelow, Andre the Giant & British Bulldog are my wants from what has been released) but all of these are really hard to find even in the USA. Walmart.ca put up listings for series 1 -7 over 6 months ago, I have been checking this page daily yet nothing new except for series 5 which showed up out of nowhere about a month ago. I keep hoping that series 6 might show up so I can at least get Perfect, Bigelow & Hogan but that looks like a pipe dream at this point.
Its crazy and that doesn't include taxes- with the tax it comes to almost 40 bucks! I don't know if this pricing is due to greed or stupidity as these should be priced similar to the MOTU figures. Speaking of which, the MOTU lines (Origins & Cartoon Colllection) have terrible distribution as well which leads me to believe that Mattel is as much to blame for this state of affairs as Walmart is. I don't understand why Mattel are so against putting these figures online, most if not all the people who buy these are adult collectors so why do they have to be available at retail?! The MOTU Cartoon collection has not shown up in Canada at all (I was hoping to pick up a few figures) and from what I have read it has the same distribution as the Superstars in the USA- sporadic at best.

Great pic!
You should ask the mods if they can make this post a sticky at the top of the thread to use as a visual reference for everything that has been released. Also, you should update it as new figures are released.

But it doesn't explain how 3rd Party sellers are getting Walmart exclusive products months in advance, and it doesn't explain the widespread shortage of Elites across the Walmarts, at least the ones in my region. You are way more plausible and sensical than the ever-conspirator (of toys of all things) nomore (who I like a lot, just too conspiracy-minded on this one). I totally agree that Walmart likes seeing those figures disappear fast. On the flip side, when they still have Lerae E87, doupdrop 96, Nyla, Eddie, and the endless figs that have sat for multiple years, tells them that the merch doesn't move, so why order more?! Especially if they are non-collectors and don't get it. In Walmert's eyes, why would they order more Superstars if there are still 10x S6/7 Pipers and Rocks and Savages?! To them, they're figures that aren't moving. To us collectors, put out a Doink or ATG or S9 and they'd fly off the shelves. If they only knew/know not to overstock. If I had money then I'd clear the shelves of all the pegwarmers and see if that helps get new mainlines in and any other figure. I'd love to do a study that tracks that. How quickly they restock and how quickly they move. After 40 years i have seen a lot. You would be shocked what happens at walmart, toysrus, kaybee and target. Believe me when i tell you that it is commonplace to watch managers giving cases of hot wheels and other hot toys to specific people. This is so common i am surprised you think it is a conspiracy theory. I like ya too but i need you to "awake". The cartoon motu and the tmntmotu figures are also barely being put out at walmart. Walmart has a serious distribution problem. The same things are being said on other toy forums and on social media. I am watching carefully and see an endless supply of mr.perfects listed on ebay most from the same sellers. That is not coincidence. There are numerous issues at play here and we have to speak up about it or we wont get any changes. Lets recap. Like last year (december) only one series has been put out. We were supposed to see the online cancelled series7 hit when instead it barely made a dent. I had to buy mine on ebay again (like series 5 and 6) instead we have gotten only series 8 and like last year the east coast wont get s9 until july (almost 9 months since we saw anything new in stores (s5) (Series 6 was mia for most of us). So in august one month after s9 hits we will have to scramble to get s10 which will most likely be the s5 from last year. Meaning s9 will warm pegs while s10 will warm us until the end of the year. Series 11 will be like s6 and be hard to find (one and done in october) and series 12 will be made available again online only to be cancelled (like s7 was) and then lastly s13 will be all we see (like s8) until next year in july again.... This is just an awful situation and one that has to be changed. The worst part of this is that they are making 10s of thousands of these. Where are they all? There should ne 20+ pages of each wrestler on ebay. Are we to believe that mr.t wasnt included in every s4 case? Or conversely that mr. Perfect was not in every s6 case? Why are there literally hundreds of macho man and the rock listings but only a few mr.t? Why are there so many pipers and hogans but barely any bam bams? I think simply put: those 4 figures never got put out. You can infer what you want from that but i know with conviction that they were not bought by a lot of resellers or we would be seeing more listings. Mr.t especially is an odd one. If you look at ebay now there are: -19 bam bam -17 mr.t -15 mr.perfect I havent counted but not much more than a 100 of each figure has sold. Imagine if they made at least 10,000 of mr.t. Or even just 5000 which is one figure per store one and done. So where are the other 4000+? The math doesnt add up. We are not all hoarding dozens of these because we cant find them. Too many missing figures. Ever since wwecollector found a perfect in his store we have seen more s6 listings. There was a time a little over a month ago when there was not even one mr.perfect listed. So either, resellers are trying to cash out or series 6 has been found at central and being distributed. I still believe the majority are being sold by exclusive vendors. I see one seller who is a sultan who seems to have an endless supply of non punched hard to find figures. I remember clearly at the end of last year how certain sellers had cases of hall, nash and hbk available only to see those exact 3 figures sell for 4$ last month AND walmart.com still didnt sell out. Will be interesting to see if s4-7 go on sale online at one point. Wm.com has clearanced out the first 3 series. Waiting to see where all the macho man/rock/typhoon went to. I still believe they made a ton of s4. It is only s5-s7 that are questionable at this point. In conclusion and especially in canada (i truly feel for youball there) these mass produced figures are harder to find than any toy line in history that i can remember other than sw orange card greedo wave which wS only released on east coast before fonally showing up in california on clearance 4 months later. Speaking of delays. This is the biggest problem. If s9 has been in the wm warehouses for the past at least 3 months (cant be bothered to check back on that, stopped keeping track of release dates, might update m list at somw point) why are they not putting them out. We already know they gave up online but it is apparent that s8 is almost dried up. What are they waiting for. We are just falling further and further behind is the point because with this schedule they have to rush out s10-12 to finish the year once again making them hard to find. Look, At some point mattel has to realize that they are losing customers due to the fact that walmart cant keep up or is up to shenanigans. I am positive that target would not be facing the same issues. They are solid when it comes to street dates. Walmart has made a mockery of their availability calendar. I bet half of the product that was up for preorder from their latest march collector day event was cancelled already. The street sharks line will be the next problem for collectors at wm. I was going to maybe preorder those but decided it was orob juat a waste of time. All i know is, nothing has changed. Steve is aware of it and now we are seeing the same problems with the elites, mnw line, etc. This is not a superstars issue. This is 100% a walmart problem. But to me the biggest frustration lies with the fact that we are not getting any Answers from mattel. At wrestlemania we got 30 seconds on these and not one q&a to help ease fears for collectors. Its like we dont exist. The mnw crowd got an answer but i believe they will be ignored soon too. Its like mattel knows that nothing will change and that they are powerless to do anything about it. Are walmart reps really that scary to talk to? Either way the writing is on the wall and as i have said we will know EXACTLY what the future holds for this line in july at SDCC. I am guessing more of the same.

This might be real dumb question… but is there anyway to check inventory for these? I know Walmart.com is a joke but not sure if any websites are currently helpful. I have a trip coming up where i will pass several Walmarts so trying to prevent having to stop at all of them.

A local walmart restocked after the reset. This past weekend I saw a Mr. Perfect and a Bam Bam (only the 4th time seeing one in person on a peg), and a full set of Hogans, a Doink, and an Andre. I was still hoping to find another Captain Lou, but I'm sure I can find one eventually at retail.

You weren't kidding! I didn't realize they were a UK company. The $33 for shipping kills it for me.

Apparently they are in australia now too. MASHTOYSTORE /sch/i.html?_ssn=mashtoys&store_name=mashtoystore&_oac=1&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496 Walmart does not operate there. -- "Walmart does not currently operate any stores or have an online presence in Australia. Walmart previously attempted to enter the Australian market in the early 2000s but was unsuccessful. Rumors circulated in 2018 that Walmart was looking to acquire Australian retailer Kmart, but this did not eventuate" www.33rdsquare.com/is-there-walmart-in-australia/they also have the s3 tmnt grayskull figures Proof mattel is selling them to other vendors and that they truly are no longer a walmart exclusive. They maybe the australia exclusive however. Would love to see a japanese version of these. Probably best thing that could happen. Contract prob states walmart is the "exclusive" big box retailer but looks like anyone else on the net is fair game. Mash has good prices but shipping kills it ofcourse. Either way they will be out in next 2-3 weeks so prices will come down eventually.
