Walmart WWE Superstars line

[ttmbrad]

Why the heck is it so difficult to post a picture on this forum? I just want to share a snap shot of my collection display and it seems impossible to do so....or I'm just old and can't figure out technology.

Like that’s my closest Walmart tonight, just a few rocks superstars on the shelf. They did have a box of ultimates but only 1 Eddie left.

[Eric]

Just stopped at the Walmart by work. They had a ton of Reys. Like between 10 and 20, but closer to 20 than 10. And they had a bunch of Brutus, though not as many as Rey.

And they had one Razor, which was the chase, so I grabbed him. If I don't find the regular now, I won't mind. I just wanted one of the two (I like the purple more than the blue, but I like the trunks more than the tights).

Oh, and they had one Typhoon. At this Walmart, he's the only "old" figure they have left. Kinda crazy actually.

I just visited a Walmart in Ribinson
PA. They had atleast 20 Rey's. Nothing else.

This line is great. Everything after series 2 i bought online which is kind of a bummer but oh well. Need me a bret hart to be all caught up. I hope to see more news on future releases.

First S8 WSI / SULTAN_OF_SWAT_2 sighting (jan 24'?
First S9 WSI / SULTAN_OF_SWAT_2 sighting (March 24'?)(
First S10 WSI / SULTAN_OF_SWAT_2 (early MAY?)/ thecollectorshobbyshop24 (MAY 13) / .... / sighting (MAY 12, 2024)


Number of cases sold to date:

S6 perfect
24 (2 more for sale now) - sultan_of_swat_2 (since may8, 2024) thats at least 26 cases.... he has sold plenty before may 8th too. My local walmart received 0 cases. Mattel is responsible for this. They are selling directly to sellers like him (whether at the mattelstore in el segundo or otherwise). Than the problem compounds as walmart does not receive enough to satisfy demand. You see now who received s6 and they have tons of it.

S9
11 cases - Collectorshobbyshop24 (since may 8)
10 cases - WSI (since may 8)
40 cases - SULTAN_OF_SWAT_2 (at least, cant look back before may 8). He has sold them since march. You can easily add at least 20 cases to that tally with no end in sight. Possible he was sold 100 cases (6000$ retail value just of s9). Then add ultimates, motu, mnw, etc. These are big money contracts. 100k

S10
11 cases - Collectorshobbyshop24
2 cases - gr8toys4you
50 cases+ - westside toys (getting them direct from el segundo mattel factory store no doubt)
31 cases - SULTAN_OF_SWAT_2 (WITH 5 FOR SALE). 36 TOTAL. 36 CASES OF S10 AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN AVAILABLE AT WALMART YET. THAT IS AT LEAST (because i cant go back more than 3 months of ebay sold history as he has sold them since april i believe (will check on that))36 CASES (3X36 FIGURES)
13 cases - WSI dating back to at least may 8)

S11
2 cases - WSI (AS OF TODAY), so based on past history s11 will be out 1st/2nd week of november at walmart, 3 months later par for the course (like last year)

_____________________________________


 Note: based on the above, s12 may get treated like s7 was and concurrently released with s13 as s7 was with s8 last march. 

Note: let the record books show s9 was basically skipped by walmart and picked up mainly by WSI (seller on ebay)

Note: Sultan is still selling ccases of mr.perfect and now doubling the auctions available with some including the recently released ollies exclusive (cough) bbb (bam bam). Prices arecstarting to level off at 25$. MR.T however is at a cool 85$ and gaining value. 

Note: both the canadian and uk versions come from the same division of mattel headquartered in Canada. (Eg. Same packages, this holds true for all european releases )

Does anyone want me to update this one last time? I have time tomorrow

Edit: starting it now

Was there any news for the line/reveals the other day?

Nope. At least we got some powertown news!! Sadly superstars will stick around with walmart, sultan and friends. If only smyths had them in store. 

[kojikanemoto]

My local Walmart must have gotten 2 more cases of series 11 as there were 4 more Reys but I was able to grab a regular Razor and Brutus for my buddy. I wasn’t expecting to see them again. But there’s now 9 Reys there with 1 last red tights Hogan.

[Nivro™]

Walked into a Walmart today during travels and Ive never seen so many Kane, Doink, Bulldog and Ali Superstars...There was at least 4 pegs full (3 pegs assigned for basics) and more on the top shelf. Never seen a store stocked like that with Superstars.

Update: OK First ever superstars priceguide is out in my post above.

I'll add that disclaimer. I focused on current day prices. Might add the original price for all of them but I already did that in another guide. Thanks for the added Info. Were they ever on the smyths website? Some uk members have said they were only available online at smyths but in looking on their site they don't even have Rey mysterio listed. Kind of fail to see how they are exclusive to smyths. Seems to be they are exclusive to the ws which is a censored word apparently

You know this is the perfect icing on the cake for me. I have mainly moved on from these because I just cant find them and don't want to support resellers on ebay and now I come to find out that this line is exclusive (in the uk) to a mattel licensed reseller instead of an actual toy store Like smyths aka toysrus. Hahaha incredible.

Perfect ending for me

Guess we can't be surprised they charged more for the razor chase then. So when we initially said that the line was exclusive to pauimart it wasn't a joke. That's why they both sell Rey mysterio for under walmart retail price. What a documentary this would make. No wonder both paui and ws are censored words. The secret is out now.

It all came full circle. I knew this trip to Europe would enlighten me. Never thought i would see this is my lifetime. Integrity is lost and there is nothing stopping ws from taking the extra chase figures and selling them on ebay for more on a pseudo name. What a sultan idea. Maybe the actual factory can get in on it and sell multiple prototypes of the same figure. (Oops kurt angle)

Thanks for the laughs Mattel. Lol
