Well I just went ahead & pre-ordered all of Series 3 from the Walmart website; I REFUSE to go through this again (still no sightings of Series 2 in my area). I wasn't sure I wanted all of Series 3, but I decided I'm gonna want the BAF Disciple. Now..... if Walmart fails to deliver my online orders....... GRRR...... Everyone posting pics of Nash  Seriously though, I wish Smyths in the UK allowed for pre-orders on MNW series. You need to be more or less there as soon as they go online or you miss out. i'm super lucky they've been stocking them relatively well where i live. just a 15 minute drive. i dont really have the chance to go other smyths though. |

Wish Smyths wasn't an hours drive away. Well for whatever it's worth, I'm in the U.S. with five Walmarts within a reasonable driving distance (30 minutes).... I'm still Nashless too. Haven't seen any sign of this set yet. |

Sing it with me PJ! I’m a Mattel American! This is not the greatest song in the world, this is just a tribute. |

The Smyths I went to today here in Ireland had a few of everyone but HHH was the most plentiful & he's back up on the site.
If hes still around next Friday? I'll order him to create an early heel HHH

Well my frustration is at an all-time high with this Walmart crap.
Five more Walmarts this morning, over 3 different states (Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland). No sign of any Series 2 Monday Night Wars. All I really want is Nash.
Probably gonna break down & just go to Ebay. Completely ridiculous that these aren't available online, and no store anywhere near me has had them. I lost count after 25 trips to Walmart came up empty.
On that note, no Elites at these Walmarts either. Plenty of Basics. Then they get more Basics. Spotted the new Dibiase basic at Kennett Square and left it, just seems like a downgrade compared to several Dibiases that I already own.
Not sure what's going on but I can't keep wasting all this time going to Walmart every single day hoping to find one figure.
Figure hunting ain't what it used to be.

Mattel, Walmart and the gas companies all working together. |

I really don’t want to pay the insane prices just out of principle, but at this point I’ll probably just do it. If you factor in the money on gas, your time you could spend doing something more enjoyable, and just the overall frustration, it’s not worth it to keep going from store to store for nothing. |

Relax everyone. In a couple years a lot of these figures will end up in some sort of exclusive 'Greatest Hits' line at Walmart with the same spectacular distribution and ample online availability Walmart is known for!

I made a trip to a cool toy store that has a lot of good wwe fig stock about an hour twenty minutes from me. I hit like 5 walmarts along the way and came up empty handed too. Plenty of maivia sets. Found one walmart with two hhh left. Ugh. The one I don't want. This set shouldn't be this elusive. I'm so damn sick of walmart. |

If I felt confident that this set would be plentiful in a few weeks, I wouldn't stress about it so much.... But I just don't have that confidence with Walmart. Series 1 was barely stocked. I saw the various figures a couple times, never all at one spot, but that included a shipper. It seems like our British collecting brothers are finding these too - - - and I wonder if they split the supply between U.S. and Great Britain. I've seen no sign of Series 2 at any of the Walmarts in my area. And I have no idea if that's it, or if Walmart's got more on the way. I just don't know. |

William Regal from Elite 45 and Rey Mysterio from Elite from Elite 67 I would release from the WCW side in the Greatest Hits. Possibly the WCW Rick Rude Survivor Series BAF.

As you say Flair Forever, with no sign of them at your Wal-marts and very little stock over here (UK), it does sound as if it's a distribution issue. If Action Figure Attack could give feedback to the correct people (if possible?), so this doesn't happen with series 3. |

If Action Figure Attack could give feedback to the correct people (if possible?), so this doesn't happen with series 3. I think he knows, and I think he has given them feedback. I don't think it matters. Nothing has improved - this is the most scarce set I've experienced yet, and that's sayin' a lot. Unless it's just too early and there are more on the way. We have no way of knowing, other than to just keep checking Walmart every single day until they appear (or until we give up when they don't). I'm about to give up. Checked five more Walmarts today - found nothing but a beat-up LA Knight Basic. Didn't see ONE SINGLE ELITE (other than the Maivia set, that's everywhere). Really sucks that these aren't available online from a non-scalper source (Mattel Creations, Ringside Collectibles, or Walmart itself). You MUST go into the store to get them - and the stores DON'T have them. |

I mean..... WHO do we complain to? I seriously want to know who is in charge of the Walmart Toy department. Complaining to Steve/Mattel isn't going to change this. They keep sending me surveys - and I keep giving them all negative ratings + in whatever comments area allowed I write "Came to store looking for Action Figures - WWE - Mattel - Monday Night Wars - Walmart EXCLUSIVE. Your store did not have them stocked so I left." I don't expect anyone to care, but they keep sending me surveys, soooo..... There has to be some corporate Walmart person who oversees "Toys & Games" or something. |

If you give them less than five stars on any of those surveys, I think it's the store's general manager that gets the heat, but that doesn't travel up the chain at all. I mentioned in one of them that a specific store has had a serious figure swapping problem and the only response I got was from the store GM saying they don't have enough people to stock toys, go figure. |
