Just want to add that I found Eddie and Mankind a few weeks ago and I had to pass on them due to personal funds.
I went back a few days later when I had some more money, they were gone of course.
I now realize that I will never see those stocked in any Walmart around here again.

I will CLEARLY forever own a headless Disciple, a pair of Lex Luger pants...and nothing else. This line is a joke. I stopped collecting Mattel for, like, 6 or 7 years at one point for distribution diarrhea just like this. Time to hop back on that train outta Eliteville. Stupid.

It’s obvious that Mattel doesn’t care at the end customer. This should have been fixed by now. How many times has this board shared feedback with Steve about distribution. Just to be clear, I’m not blaming Steve. He seems like a great dude and I’m sure he’s shared the feedback. However ,I’m sick of hearing excuses and promises. It’s not fun anymore. This is the end customer for mattel www.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/sch/i.html?sid=sultan_of_swat_2&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l4949 We dont matter UNTIL we stop buying from these 3rd party companies who in return see us as their end (customer)consumer. In the end however these 3rd party companies are specificallY mattel licensed resellers so it doesnt change their bottomline much if we abandon the line at walmart UNTIL walmart pulls the plug on the line. This is why the focus should be on stopping the exclusives from being released to walmart in the first place since they dont/cant control their own exclusives ending up with 3rd party companies months before walmart ever gets them. (Especially on their own website) The best part (most obvious sign of bs) is seing mattel figure available from sellers in china months in advance. For practically the same price including shipping. |

You could check everyday for 2 months and the 1 day you don’t check will be the day they put sht out and you’ll miss it. Exactly. That’s the part that drives me insane. I checked my local Walmart like 3 times a week , I have 2 pretty close by. One of them got the shippers and I got some of them there, which of course it came out a day I didn’t check, so some things were already gone. So it made me check the one that’s literally 5 min from that one even more, checked 5-6 times a week cause it’s close and I drive by it everyday going to work, did that for about a month after finding the others , didn’t go on a Sunday and checked Monday afternoon and boom the one day I didn’t check they pop up and of course as usual some gone. But at this time I was only looking for Chase Booker T or Stevie Ray, can’t remember but I doubt they had it anyhow, but just weird how that seems to happen. |

Just boycott walmart and the pain ends. Put this guy below out of business it’s sad that people have no shame in scalping sure I’ve thought about doing it but I know it’s not right so I don’t. it prevents someone who actually wants the figure from being able to get it at retail. it’s insensitive and rude just so you can make a quick buck I mean, I've KIND OF done it. Like the last MWN series. All I wanted was The Disciple, I didn't want the other 4 figures, so I sold the other 4 guys loose and kept the Disciple figure as a way to get my money back. I don't really consider that scalping though. If I had seen a chase, I might have bought it just to sell it to help me get more figures. But people who don't even collect, and who are just looking for things to buy so they could immediately flip are annoying It's the reason I stopped collecting Sports Cards. I remember in 2020, when sports cards started going insane, all I wanted to do was buy a retail box of cards at Walmart. I remember getting to Walmart at like 6 AM, before they open and there would be a line of guys waiting for the workers to open the doors. One time, they opened the doors on the other side of the building first and they all went sprinting full speed to get inside first and then the guy ahead of me pried the door open with his hands instead of waiting for the worker to open it and all of the guys sprinted straight to the card section and grabbed as many boxes of cards as possible and threw them in their cart. I didn't get a single box and they saw me trying to just grab one but they took them by the armfulls and bought them. I knew one of the guys, and sure enough I saw every single one of those boxes on Facebook Marketplace that afternoon. He bought them for $20 and was selling them for $50 each on the marketplace. One guy even got shot in the city near me because they had an argument about sports cards in the parking lot after racing each other to the aisle. My local Target decided to put a limit on how many boxes you could buy at a time and there was a guy that would stand outside of Target and offer random people cash to go in and buy him some boxes cause they'd only let him get 2. Flippers have pretty much ruined every hobby |

Hey so can someone clarify this for me? Is the Syxx in the Thug singlet a chase for Syxx in wave 5 or is he a part of the Greatest Hits wave? I was under the assumption it was the chase in wave 5 but I’ve seen conflicting info online.

Put this guy below out of business Stuff like this is why nobody could ever find the Gorillas and Anvils they wanted, and why most AEW chases end up posted on ebay by random people who don't even otherwise sell wrestling figures. Wrestling figures have stopped being about the joy of collecting and have turned into Hot Wheels. |

Im picturing a scenario where no one bites to this guys scalping prices and they just sit at his house, taking up room, collecting dust for months on end. And he has a box full of wrestling figures that he can't shift and ends up giving them away free to his nephews just because he wants to get rid of them.
And he has to eat hoop spaghetti on toast because he wasted his money on buying in bulk wrestling figures that he can't shift

I hate to give in to these scumbag scalpers...but I'm tired of hunting. I've spent more money on gas looking for these things...it'll just be cheaper to grab them on evilBay. Series 4 is going to be an even bigger nightmare with DDP in jeans and Jean short Austin being in the wave....a lot of incomplete commissioner HBK's on the way...

I just know I better get my damn jeans DDP and ‘98 Booker. Those were my main wants alongside the WCW black singlet Bret and also salmon Bret in the right colors. |

Stupid. plenty monday night wars in the uk, at least the harlem heat/rvd/rock series. Pity about the postage costs. Could have grabbed an rvd but they are £19.99 i think. Rock akready reduced to £14.99. I think thats been the worst series so far but with the best build a figure. But three of them are rerelease and one of them just looks like ivory from right to censor. Might be some warmers there... |

I wish someone from Walmart could explain to us why these aren't hitting the pegs;
Since the initial stock in April (which was light) - I honestly don't think I've seen ANY Monday Night Wars on pegs that weren't moved there from a shipper.
Aren't any allocated to stores, and where are they? I get that they are also trying to satisfy the online orders (maybe) but how can they not plan better than this? These pegs have been empty for months and months.
It really sucks to keep checking these stores and they are just never stocked.
Also - my Stevie Ray is due to be delivered on 8/16 - that's ten days from now. It hasn't shipped yet. My Booker T came two weeks ago - BUT I feel like it was in the "SHIPPING" pipeline for at least ten days..... I'm getting that nervous feeling like it's gonna get cancelled..... hope I'm wrong? I ordered Booker T and Stevie Ray as part of the same order, so what gives?
I'm also waiting on a MNW Rock due 8/21..... I ordered that after I ordered Harlem Heat.
*UPDATE: of course, as I wrote this, my Stevie Ray moved to "preparing"..... so now just hoping my MNW Rock ships soon too.
*UPDATE: My Stevie Ray has shipped, and is scheduled to be here tomorrow (8/8). Hope it's blue like the Booker T they shipped, but I'll take what I get at this point.
