Got very lucky yesterday. Wasn’t planning on going to Walmart but it’s next to a pet store I had to go to for supplies so I decided to quickly check. Reset had just been done, plenty of new mainline elites, top picks, the Maivia three pack. They had freshly stocked MNW and a single Ultimate MNW Hitman left so I grabbed it. Def my grail level search for awhile so super stoked.

My local Walmart had these last night but I sure as hell am not paying $70 for them! Also had the Monday night war series hogan, hall, undertaker, Austin I did but hall And Austin!  I suspect those will hit clearance at some point. $70 is steep. |

My local Walmart had 4 Piper's and 4 Bret's. I bought myself a Piper 2 days ago. Went back yesterday and there were still 3 Bret's sitting there I believe. They also had the Maivia 3 Pack
No sign of MNW and no Main line Elites. My Walmart hasn't gotten a mainline elite since Elite 102. 103-108 pulled a complete no show. Although I was able to get LA Knight, Gordy and Chelsea on Walmart.com surprisingly and it arrived at my house two days later. So that was different.

The local Walmart just got done with their reset but instead of putting out something new they put out the Top Picks Elite set with Jeff Hardy, Goldberg, & Roman Reigns. The only Basics that we still have is Rey Mysterio. AEW is still just Eddie Kingston.
Elite series 100-101 & 107 still haven’t shown up. AEW Unrivaled 10 & 11 & Unmatched 5 got skipped. Some of the Basics only get stocked once or twice.
Sometimes you have to wonder why some these sets never stop showing up and others never show up.

*Ahem.... If I may point out..... WHERE ARE THE MAINLINE ELITES?  ?? We never see these anymore! seriously. this is a real problem lately. i dont understand what is happening anymore. that being said, it looks like mainline elites have a spot on the shelf below the pegs now after these resets, hopefully they actually start getting some |

I thought we determined several years ago that there are 6 series per year - so that's a new series every-other-month. It seems like Walmart skips series and maybe gets ONE CASE of EVERY OTHER series or even EVERY THIRD series (like a case every 4 months). If you aren't the first collector to stumble upon the case when they put it out you probably aren't getting the hot ones (especially the chases). Especially discouraging that they aren't even prominent on this new plan-o-gram, where it seems Basics rule. Bottom shelf if they have Elites at all. I'm sure Walmart/Mattel's argument is that they aren't selling. That's because they're never stocked. To make matters worse, Amazon only seems to get them randomly anymore and Ringside has been sold out of most of them, probably because they aren't available anywhere else. |

I know Target ones usually go on sale at some point but I wasn’t sure about WM since it’s been a while since I’ve seen an exclusive multipack from them before this Maivia Legacy one came out |

If you didn't know any better, you'd think Top Picks was the main series of the line given what's on shelves. It would be one thing if it was just the store exclusive series I couldn't find in person, it's a whole different ball game when the only reliable way to obtain main line elites is paying a premium to get them off RSC. Maybe one day Mattel will step into the 21st century and sell their crapon their own website. |

Maybe one day Mattel will step into the 21st century and sell their crap on their own website. Out of 23 Elites "for sale" on Mattel Creations, 19 of them are currently "sold out." The four that they do have? E92 Charlotte E96 Doudrop E100 Becky Lynch E93 Raquel Gonzalez Where are all the Main Line Elites going? Target's been barren since January, and Walmart? LOL.... It's May... technically we should be getting close to a 3rd set of Main Line Elites by now.... where are they being sold? I know I saw Elite 104 (Rick Steiner) and Elite 105 (Scott Steiner) at Walmart like 4-5 months ago..... Elite 106 was all over those shippers that went out..... has Elite 107 been found anywhere? Ringside doesn't even have the complete set available. I feel like we should either see Elite 108 at retail soon, or already seen it? |

Elite 106 was all over those shippers that went out My area has 5 Walmarts, I go to 4 of them regularly, none of them got the shipper. You bring up a great point, where ARE these main lines going? Online retailers are either selling out or selling them at a "premium" and you can't find them at retail most of the time, so what's going on? Mattel passes the buck with store exclusive distribution constantly, so what's the excuse for this? |

 This is what I walked into this morning at a local Walmart Chicago suburb. |

I think my local Walmart is just waiting on the shipment. All the figures are cleared out, there's tons of space, and they had the Rock family boxset and Ultimate Bret/Piper. I'll check next week.

Saw a case each of this old Top Picks elite wave at 2 Walmarts today. Someone must have been doing some spring cleaning at DC and found these in a corner.  |

I'm sure Walmart/Mattel's argument is that they aren't selling. That's because they're never stocked. This exactly. Hard to sell product when you're order system is such a mess that you rarely get new product. But they'll look at the dozens of showdown 2 packs that sit on pegs for months and say "WWE figures aren't selling" Last fall I'm pretty sure every Walmart in my area (and its a LOT) got 36 Top Picks Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns elites I legitimately thought I'd be seeing those in stores through the summer. They all were gone before the end of 2023. Elites will sell. There's a better way of doing things than ordering 1 case per store. |
