Looked at my Walmart account and got excited that I had something preparing to ship for 9/3 delivery. Bit disappointed it was just the Marvel Legends Venom and not Eddie/Mankind. Wonder if they’ll just get a delay or move right to cancellation? My Mankind hasn't changed status but they've got a pending charge on my card. Probably their standard temp hold deal but walmart sure doesn't mind holding up your money for a week My Mankind hasn’t changed status yet either. Looks like my Eddie just got pushed back to September 29th on the website though. No email about a delay yet. |

Both of my Eddie’s pushed back to September 29th. Mankind still showing 3rd.
As if everyone at Mattel didn’t already know, but your Walmart exclusive suck for consumers because the vast majority never get fulfilled 🙄

I figured delays/cancelations were coming on these but I was holding out hope. I've yet to see a trace of these in stores |

Lol Hey now..... this is what we were told: * Online ordering would be much improved starting with MNW Series 3. * Online ordering would be available for the Monday Night Wars Series 3 and 5, but NOT Series 1, 2, and 4. And NOT Greatest Hits. * Ultimates were never mentioned as part of the deal here. We can fend for ourselves on those. Good luck. I no longer care to understand why they just can't provide online ordering for figures. Target is doing it nearly flawlessly. |

I’ll be honest, I’m not too upset about the delays. It helps me save a little more money in the meanwhile. I’m just happy to get my figures, that’s if we do. Also, that sucks that series 5 with our beloved DDP won’t be online. Actually, it’s quite the joke considering how sought after he’ll be.

I did not. I said the 2025 waves. Wave 4 is a 2024 wave |

I figured delays/cancelations were coming on these but I was holding out hope. I've yet to see a trace of these in stores Nothing around here in Southern Maine. Distribution for Ruthless Agression was pretty rough around here. MNW has somehow been even worse unless you happened upon a fresh shipper. |

Series 1 RA hit shelves but other than that it was a chase for the end caps. MNW same with shippers. I had good luck finding all the past Walmart UEs but not a trace of Mick and Eddie |

There are I think four Triple H figures in my Walmart just sitting there. And I was in there today and still didn't see any peg for them in the main aisle. The Trips figures were put on the endcap where they stashed all the rotting Solos and Undertakers from the shipper.
I went there today looking for a Wargames Solo and, gotta say, when you go there a month after the shipper is gone and you still have half a dozen of the same figure to pick the perfect one of...
I have no idea how we got what had to be the worst shipper ever for Summerslam. How the hey do you put out an entire specialty display and make it 90% the same three or four figures. Hey, if anyone is still looking for a Wargames Solo and doesn't want to pay the 35 dollar markup, come to my spot in the woods, we got you covered.

Lol It’s funny how this Tom guy or whatever the Mattel guys name is, answers a question saying “starting with series 3, it will be pre orders online.” Or something along those lines, then series 4 isn’t for online pre ordering, then he changed his tune saying starting with series 5 it will be online pre ordering. Then somebody called him out on it and he quickly tried to say he didn’t say that which he did. Then he gets on podcast saying “oh, well Walmart is getting better with online pre orders, y’all should see that with pre orders now.” Yet my Mankind/Eddie gets pushed by twice already. But yeah, sure thing Mattel it’s definitely better smh |

I’ll just over pay somebody on eBay before I worry with giving Walmart my money anymore. Mattel won’t fix the issue, and when ppl start doing this more and the more these figures sit on Walmart shelves because everybody else buys off the secondary market, then Mattel will try and hurry and fix it, but to late. |

But somebody had gave a suggestion about 3 or 4 packs or something like the old NWO 4 pack, and it was said it couldn’t work, didn’t make sense, wasn’t feasible or something like that, can’t remember. Yet here we are a year or 2 later and you’re making this Legacy Rock 3 pack, this then now and forever 4 pack etc lol. It’s like our ideas suck, but yet Mattel is like “hold my beer.” |

I no longer care to understand why they just can't provide online ordering for figures. Target is doing it nearly flawlessly. We're never going to have firm answers or production numbers. But my sense has been that Target orders enough volume to ensure that their stores and online are stocked with exclusives. And Walmart probably orders the minimum allocation Mattel will agree to so they can claim to have an exclusive program. Walmart's handling of exclusives has been atrocious for years and years. But they're a massive account, and Mattel is going to do whatever is needed to keep them ordering. |

As someone who likes to customize, I wish really wish that shirted Dusty torso didn’t come with what’s going to be one of the two rarest figures of the set.
