I have never pre ordered anything from Walmart, I’ve also had no issue finding them in-store. Maybe it takes checking more than 1 Walmart to find things, I’ve found over the years every Walmart has different things. Some of us don’t have a Walmart. My only chance at getting these are literally preordering (we all know how that goes), or buying it on the secondary market. how do you not have a walmart |

Which is kinda ironic since NYC is so corporate to begin with |

Which is kinda ironic since NYC is so corporate to begin with Yes and yes. I’m a native New Yorker and Back to the Codyverse is correct. The real irony is New York barely has mom and pop stores left. Smaller neighborhoods that used to have local stores are being closed down in favor of corporate stores. Most people can’t afford to live here anymore. Times are changing  To be honest, I think I’ve only been to Walmart twice in my life. One was on a vacation trip to Puerto Rico and another on a road trip to Georgia. On the topic of figures, I’m going to throw a hissy fit if I can’t have that damn UE Bret lol. |

If it makes you feel any better, we have Walmarts all over Canada (I'm in Vancouver and there are 5-6 within a 30 min drive or less from my house) and any time something is a Walmart exclusive we don't get it in this country period. It hurts so much seeing this line be made a Walmart exclusive again because I know it's going to be in the US only and I'm going to miss out on probably all of it. |

You’re always appreciated! Biff Slamkovich™ This is a line that everyone should have access to. I have no doubt in my mind that it’ll sell. It sucks because a lot of us love that era and it was the hottest period in wrestling. I would of much preferred this to be a Target or Amazon exclusive since those retailers seem to be more obtainable. |

I'm hoping they go up for order and actually ship. Hey Roger, it could happen. Angels in the outfield reference…well done! This movie needs to stream, can't find it anywhere! |

I’ve learned to bite the bullet and buy em at scalper prices because I’ll never get the chance on pre-orders or in store in my area 🤷♂️

I’ve learned to bite the bullet and buy em at scalper prices because I’ll never get the chance on pre-orders or in store in my area 🤷♂️ There's a local seller in my city that runs a small online shop. He's currently selling Ruthless Aggression Elites for $65 CAD. He told me he's just ordering them from Walmart.com, getting them shipped to the border then driving across to pick them up so there's no way in hell he's paying duties or anything other than dollar conversion on each figure. Even after conversion, each figure works out to be cheaper than what an Elite would cost here at TRU which is $34.99 plus tax. To me, that's pure greed and total overkill and there's no way I'm giving in to scalper prices. To each their own, but it's becoming easier and easier to turn away from this hobby and not give Mattel my money. It's a shame too because I'm a day 1 supporter of this line (literally, as I was working at TRU when the line launched and I merched the first ever facings of Series 1 basic, elite, 2-packs and Entrance Greats) so having to turn away now when there's so an figures I'd want to buy but can't......it really sucks. |

I bet there’s like 10 within 35 min from me lol. |

I think Mattel should have a Dollar General exclusive, I think there’s a DG on every corner , nobody would have a problem getting one then…. And before all the whiners here come with their spoons and forks raised, it was a joke.

Maybe it takes checking more than 1 Walmart to find things, I’ve found over the years every Walmart has different things. East coast is tough, we never look like those pictures, I used to check often and maybe we would get a case of this or that in, but largely the toy aisles are barren. Never saw funko Cody, never saw RA 4 or 5, never saw the ra ultimates, never saw supreme Kenny in stores, I could go on and on. I’m not sure what I haven’t seen at a Walmart that I actually wanted. Which if something comes out I’ll hit all Walmart within an hour of me and eventually I’ll find it. Which I only collect pre RA era, so maybe a lot of people around here don’t care for legends type figures. But the only figure I don’t think I’ve seen was the RA RVD, but I also wasn’t running Walmart to Walmart looking for it. |

Everybody here complains about Walmart pre orders, but when these figures go up for pre order those same people will pre order said figures. Well...why not? Walmart doesn't charge until an item ships, so you're never out any money. Additionally, my two local Walmarts are generally WWE Black holes of nothingness |

By now we all know if you pre order anything from Walmart the chance of it actually shipping is almost 0, so no reason to complain because it’s not going to change a thing. |
