My Walmarts never get the figures I want, only brawls in the aisles between hoodrats and people overdosing on fentanyl in the aisles. Sad thing is…I’m not even kidding, I’m more likely to die in my local Walmart than ever find a Ruthless Aggression or Monday Night War figure.

And not only did they give Walmart a line knowing Walmart had serious issues, they gave Walmart THE line a lot of folks, like me, had been waiting years for. Yeah, I get it. I'm pretty angry at Mattel over this as well, no matter what apologists say. ”mAyBe It’S pAyBaCk FoR uS nOt FuNdInG tHe StAgE” I never said that. It was just a very poor decision. |

I have to drive 20 miles for a Walmart not like that. |

So sad for how much Walmart and Mattel are losing by not having advanced pre-sales and keep taking them for at least a month - make the order - stick to it - anticipate more for what will be on the shelves and $$$$$$$$ bank. Make the collectors happy, Walmart, Mattel, everyone. Does not seem that hard.

I have no true idea Walmart's model. All I know is that there are a lot of us that are frustrated because we order and wait - then they cancel. Or we can't even order because they are gone within a few hours or a day. Seems they are not doing all justice or maxing their potential. Frustrated customers are never a good thing either. |

I dont know how many more cancelled preorders its going to take for people to actually start putting the blame on mattel.
They know the issue and have done nothing about it. I doubt they even sent an email to someoneat walmart.

They're still taking pre-orders too which is weird, they come at random intervals.

I guess most of these figs will have to be rereleased in future greatest hits waves in order to get full distribution.
I still think that WWE Hollywood line coulda been really fun if the distribution issues had been resolved

Does anyone wonder where these cancelled pre-order figures and the WWE Mattel stock sent to Walmart actually *goes*.
Almost no pre-orders get fulfilled based on what's posted here, and so many of the figures are hard to find at retail. It's baffling.

After 3 months other retailers can sell them. |
