Yep got mine. I'm just gonna go ahead and assume I'm not getting him and start looking elsewhere. There was a rock 2 or 3 at a Walmart about 40 min from me and at least 1 or 2 at another one 50 or so minutes from me. My Walmart has had a full peg of rock plus some of shelf underneath. Been untouched for weeks. Guess we know where everyone's pre-orders are ending up |

Don't think I've seen a MNW elite on a peg in a couple of months in PA, but thought it was interesting they have two pegs allocated to it. Good spot for those basic 138 Edge figures to hang I guess

I know it has zero effect, but I am hoping if they see the same pegs constantly empty that SOMEONE will do something about it. |

I'm never seeing these in a store ever again. They got one case of wave 1 on the first shipper, one case of wave 2 on the second, and that is all she wrote.

Nobody is actively "scanning" or "ordering" toys. They just get shipments in and put out whatever comes in. No questions asked. Walmart's "system" is terribly broken and no one is interested in fixing it. |

Good spot for those basic 138 Edge figures to hang I guess Same. I’ve been checking near daily for S4, but beyond the S1 Hogan that stayed forever at one place, and S2 Triple H, there’s been zero around since the SummerSlam shipper left. Never got S3 at all. |

Have you guys heard about this Pmart and Ebay exclusive line? I think it has something to do with the Monday Night War, not sure. Sounds like an expensive and aggravating headache that's just gonna make people quit collecting.

From a business perspective, it’s a fantastic line item on a p&l. From a collector perspective - it is a terribly executed initiative. (USA only / I know Smyths has been able to carry most if not all of these easily) I’ve been collecting this line casually on/off since the beginning (way back around when Matty Collector was a thing) and this ranks up there as one of the biggest fumbles that the Mattel Team has done (for collectors). That said, I believe the responsibility of not being able to deliver to fellow collectors rests on the shoulders of Action Figure Attack and his Team. Why? They knew how in demand and popular this era was / is and that Walmart is not exactly the best at carrying reliable stock for toys. Yet, still proceeded with Walmart to carry these for what will be basically 2 years. This could have went with Mattel Creations or a different retailer. (Boy, I miss TRU right now. MNW would be stocked there to the rafters). However, Mattel’s sole goal is to make money and at the end of the day, these are toys. Walmart offers money, Mattel gladly signs away. Mattel has done some things really really good and some things not so good so I will give them that. Peaks and valleys. Let’s see if @actionfigureattack is truly good on his word of the distribution being fixed starting in 2025. If so, then I can’t wait to see what they have to offer. If not, then I plan to use my money elsewhere or just save it. Also, still waiting for that mainline DDP ultimate, Steve.  |

I saw everyone from series 1 besides Austin on pegs. series 2 was in a shipper...I've only seen series 3 Rock once and he was in the same shipper as series 2. Never seen Harlem Heat or RVD in store to date and no series 4 in sight at my local walmarts.
The only way I have been able to complete these sets is great collecting friends on twitter. I cant begin to describe the money I've pissed away on gas...driving to out of town walmarts looking for this line...to find absolutely nothing!! Its bad when you walk into a walmart store and you see elite 87 Candice and elite 92 Scarlett and think...well at least they have something on the pegs.

This has pretty much been the same experience I've had looking for these. The first set, stores maybe got a case, but there has been no sign of anything since. The shippers were probably an 80/20 mix of series 2 & 3, but those have never come back. They have been relatively good here at getting new main event and superstars series on the pegs, but the MNW stuff is nowhere to be found. The first set of ultimate stocked pretty well I'd say, and the second set shows up once and disappears too. I said it in another thread, we need some way to ask WM corporate why they lost a product that is "exclusively" theirs to sell? |

When is Ollie’s getting this line? Clearly Walmart didn’t order and/or ship enough to fulfill the MOQ so there’s gotta be overstock going somewhere.

Just found series 3 on a display hanger. Was at the end of the lego section in my store so everyone might want to be on the look out. Had 3 or 4 Rocks and 2 each of the other 3 and 1 of the Bookers was a chase. Also in the hanger was a greatest hits Rock, 2 GH Cody, Roman and 2 Butch (Pete Dunn).

I assumed that's why the UK was getting so many - those people seem to be having zero issues getting them, judging by the posts on here. I would love it (and simultaneously be irate at the foolishness) if these started turning up at Ollie's Bargain Outlet..... Nevertheless - - - everyone start checking your Ollie's..... it's that time of year..... they're going to be getting their big "Holiday Toy Load" real soon..... usually lots of action figures, just a question of if there's any wrestling stuff there! Seems like the last couple years - Ollie's gets one big load of toys in September and then spends the next three months selling it until Christmas..... so best to get there when that big toy delivery comes in real soon to find whatever treasures are there! |

a month ago , i only found series 2 (all but Kane/Diesel) 2 cases and Ultimates Piper/Bret 1 of each. with the Summerslam shipper. other than that, its been no dice for these. it sucks. its 1 of the only lines im collecting right now from WWE. Again Walmart fails in every way possible offering these online.
i just got back from a spot check at my local Walmart and ...nothing. they had Best of Ultimates Austin/Warrior fresh case. lol... and nothing for elites. Top Picks Reigns and old elites. horrific.

Considering us in the UK have only had about 5% of the exclusives up until the MNW line, I will take it all day long. We don't get all figures per wave in the elite lines or ppv series, we've only just started getting multi-packs, we didn't get the RA series, we don't get the Target Legends (apart from wave 19 & 20), and only got about 5 waves of Ultimates over the course of the line.... For Legends and Ultimates we usually have to pay about 2/3rds to double more than people in the US do for the same figures. So this is a bit better in terms of parity with what is being released. Read my comment to someone else. Has nothing to do with you guys getting the line. It’s more of a statement about the distribution in the US. That doesn't mean I can't add to the statement or reply to it in general.... Take it easy. |

OT, but to add to the inventory issues WM already has, tried to buy the new CM Punk basic today on my lunch break and got denied because "they can't sell any items that don't have a price in the system". Seems bad! |

I finally found UE Mankind and Eddie but probably should have just bought it off eBay since I've wasted time and gas.
There is still hope for others so hopefully it restocks in your area.
