Bummer, how the heck do they not have new Superstars on the planogram? Only one peg at most walmarts for them now and that one peg is filled with rock, mdm, macho and s8 hogan. It doesnt look like much will change after all as there is no room for new cases especially since the older figures are still not clearanced. Not sure if a shipper is still expected for tomorrow but its our only hope. Mnw at least seems to have a spot ready for the next series. I expeced most to be out by next wednesday but none of the 10 i usually visit are ready yet for the reset, still. Walmart is so understaffed. Might be another week till a lot of us find new figures. |

Was at one of my local Walmarts Friday and they had the reset done. No MNW ultimates at this store but they had remnants of series 1 elites and about 10 Maivia sets.
Had an associate open the case of superstars that I saw on a pallet to see if it had a Hogan chase since it's the only one I'm missing. Unfortunately it didn't so the hunt continues.
Plan on hitting up a couple more this morning to see what I can find.

Have had the opportunity to of every series shy of E108 (which I don't think have anywhere) that have hit retail, at multiple WMs. That does indeed suck and is frustrating for you and those in the same boat. |

Hit up 5 different Walmarts this morning and 3 of the 5 had the reset done. While most were either cleaned out or weren't stocked yet I did manage to grab the lone MNW Bret I saw so at least it wasn't a complete waste of time.   |

The Walmarts in my area do not get every series, and these days, they barely get them at all. I've seen Greatest Hits and Top Picks.... but never the regular series. I had to drive to Pennsylvania to find whatever set Paul Bearer was in, and I only found one, and never saw that series anywhere else. I only ever see every 3rd or 4th Mainline Elite set, if at all. And the plan-o-gram shown in the photo looks like there isn't even any space dedicated to them. |

All the resets I've seen in my area only have MNW series 1, are other places really getting series 1 and 2?

Nothing again today. I am really at the point where I am thinking about boycotting all Walmart exclusive lines as much as I don't want to do it. At some point we have to tell Mattel that we are tired of this game.
I can live without mnw, krunchers and superstars and I know i will be able to find them down the road. Just so sick and tired of giving money to a billion dollar company (walmart) that only does inventory once a year and therefore has zero credibility on inventory which is exactly why individual stores have no idea what to order and either over order or under order.
I learned a lot driving to targets yesterday and seeing their machine in action:
Everything organized, every inventory check correct, every store had employees that helped and brought out anything we wanted to buy, every employee spoke English)
I am done with Walmart. It is a total waste of time 95 out of 100 times and that is not even an exaggeration. I can count on one hand the number of times I found figures I was looking for since last December.
This hobby should be enjoyed. If they are so impossible to get because either employees get them or they are never put out than why should any of us give them money. WE NEED TO START SPEAKING WITH OUR WALLETS OR WE WILL ALL BE STUCK BUYING THESE ON EBAY)
I will say it now. All these Walmart lines deserve to fail. There is no serious effort by Walmart to change their hiring practices or company routines when it comes to toys. They should just stick to selling donuts and imported chinese vegetables like everything else in their store that is just a more deluxe dollar tree version of crap.
These mnw figures were supposed to be available. There was supposed to be change. The shippers were supposed to be in store. So far: no shippers. Very few Walmart are even ready for the reset. This is just insanity and we are all feeding into it.
I had a wake up call. Target is the only retail store getting my money from now on. They deserve it. Walmart can pound sand and I urge you all to do the same. Mattel knows we want this product. If they want to take our money than put them up on creations and we will all buy multiples. But I am not giving Mattel the idea that I like driving around for days only to find one or 2 figures at best.
I am doneeeeee.
Goodbye Walmart.
Rage rant message over and out!!!!!

There was supposedly a huge brawl in my Walmart this weekend, but there wasn't a MNW Ultimate Edition figure in sight. Hulkster still moving that merch, brother That’s the only MNW I’ve seen in the wild, I was tempted to buy it to put an NWO shirt on to recreate his early August ‘96 look where he still had that mustache but had first worn that NWO iconic logo. |

I've hit up multiple Walmarts all week. At least 15 times altogether, and I've only come across 1 Piper and no Brets. And then I go to work only to see people hit up the same stores I was at in the morning finding Bret in the afternoon. The weirdest thing I've come across though is at least two stores that have had their reset put out 2022 Top Picks Roman, Jeff Hardy and Goldberg. I couldn't believe it.

I’ve seen the Miavia set at two different Walmarts but passed because it’s $70 price tag. One store had a full case (5 or 6) and the other had one set. Yeah, I'm thinking this might be the worst selling 3-pack ever. The kids don't know the two older guys, and what parent is going to buy that for $70? |

Holding out for Ollie's Honestly I don't even know if I'd buy it at Ollies; I just don't need these figures in my collection, they don't hold any special memories for me, and I think the Rock looks stupid dressed that way. |
