In what State was this? In Central and Metro-west Massachusetts, all the Targets got them in, and sold out immediately. And the stores that restocked them sold out of them right away. It seems that that set was quite popular overall. Yeah if we’re talking about the 40 years of Hulkamania pack with the SNME, Starcade 97, and Hulk Still Rules then that was gone everywhere around me by the time the it went on sale for the first time. I was waiting on a decent sale to pick up a 2nd set for extra shirts and that headsculpt with him chewing on the headband and was not able to score one. I've been watching these things pretty close for more than 10 years now, and the Hulk Hogan 40 Years 3-Pack was legitimately the fastest selling 3-Pack I've ever seen in mid Maryland, not exaggerating. |

UGGHH.... Stopped by my local Walmart today hoping for some new Superstars of MNW 5 or MNW GH. I kid you not - only thing they added was EIGHT MORE MAIVIA SETS. And NO new Superstars.... No Monday Night Wars. There have been 4 Maivia sets sitting on the shelf since it was released and today there are 12. I give up. Yeah, tell me one more time that Walmart uses an inventory system to generate orders. They most certainly do NOT.   These things are like the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. Life is finding a dang way |

Yes Maybe walmart will clearance them in 6 years or maybe they will just rot on the shelves like in the final k-mart years. Just a matter of time before we get 100$ 3-packs. I dont think mattel understands who shops at walmart. Hint: It isnt the well off buyer. Only basics and knuckle crunchers should be sold at walmart. Eh pointless to point out the obvious. Let walmart eat these. Hopefully they stop ordering and lose their exclusive license. Oh wait yeah i almost forgot, they dont really care about wwe. It is just a package deal to be able to sell hot wheels and barbies, their real moneymakers. None of this is true. If this was the Hulk Hogan three pack it would have been gone a long time ago. This was a crappy collection of a vacation Rock and two wrestlers nobody cares about. It's time for that nWo pack to hit Wal Mart. Dude, my brother, I like you a lot. But we literally already had a $100 3-Pack. On Ringside. The 3 Faces of Foley set was $100 bucks and it sold out multiple shipments before anyone had them in hand. That said, if you only sell basics and knuckle crunchers at walmart, some of us are gonna be really really unhappy and dragging our disabled a&&es to wally world for groceries will become far less appealing. At least this way I have the hope of MAYBE scoring something cool. *taps the signature* Be kind, rewind, think of those of us who live in the woods, all that. |

Man, I remember when people’s pre-orders for this set were getting cancelled because they had ordered more than 1 and Walmart has an unwritten rule about each customer only being allowed to purchase 1 pack. And now they can’t exorcise them from the shelves all nationwide if their lives depended on it. And Walmart is being as stubborn as ever by refusing to even put these packs on sale or clearance them, heck the AEW Supreme Rey Felix that finally made their way to the shelves about half a year ago were only up for about 3 months before they got clearanced out. Why won’t they do the same for these packs that are obviously struggling to sell?

Idk if it was 3 or 5 but whatever pack that had all the Hogans in it was max level for shelf rotting. I found countless of them in the clearance aisle and still didn't grab one. This one on the other hand I would buy but not for retail price. Least it has 3 different people in it. 2 of which, I don't have any figures of. I had the opposite experience, I was never able to find a single one of that Hogan 3-pack whenever I went out to Target over a dozen time during the 3 or so months window when they were released up and until they were clearanced out and no longer getting restocked. Only reason I was able to get the packs that I did get my hands on was because it was available briefly on Target.com, and even then it sold out relatively quickly every time it went back in-stock. I think the demand for nWo and 2002-03 Hulk Rules Hogans is actually pretty high, it’s the more obscure looks of his like the white singlet, Ichiban, and Real American guitar playing Hogans that struggle to move at retail |

We need a Tony Atlas for Rocky Johnson. After seeing just how poorly this set has sold, I don’t know if, how, or when Bill and Steve will be able to convince the powers in charge to release another pre-Golden Era WWF guy like Tony Atlas. Rocky Johnson at least got the rub of being The Rock’s pop, Atlas will struggle even more to sell. I guess being apart of a Mattel Creations Territories bundle is possible but who knows, that one supposedly got greenlighted by the higher-ups in the 1st place primarily because of Ali’s presence in the set |

Yeah it was a jobber to the stars role and then later as Saba Simba but he was there during the beginning and end of the era. |

Problem is I want a Soul Man and High Chief for my collection, but not for $70 and I don't need another random rock. Should have just made it a two pack or Colosseum Collection 2 pack of those two. If it drops to $20-$25 I'll probably grab one. Black Friday is coming up and all that.

This is a case of Mattel and co, choosing what they should make and sell, rather than what the people want. Literally no one asked for this.
Yet, countless asks for DX,nWo, ect sets. Crickets.

it hasn't even been a month since it hit stores, and it's selling in my area. it's a $70 pack, yes, so it's going to take the right buyers, but people are snatching them up. a little soon to be calling it the worst thing ever. it's now 5 months later...and can confirm. Worst selling 3 pack ever. |

It's one of those "no one asked for it, but it's there", kind of thing. As most has stated, individual figures would have been better. But my point to that was, they are not giving the kind of sets the majority are asking for. Not to mention, when they say they don't want to explore box sets after the HOF box set years ago from target and then they started popping out with these. So far all box sets that have been released after that have been pretty lackluster (excluding the Hogan set as that's different imo). This being the worst of the bunch imo. Peter Mavia would've sold on his own, and now likely he will never get a solo figure. I'm sure he has to have a planned one coming...but Mattels track record with contracts, well you and I along with everyone else knows they suck with that. Bill wanted try to be cool and have a Randy/Randy ultimate set. Guarantee that Macho ultimate gets released if it just came out in the prior series if Bill didn't do the "hee hee hee let's wait! It'll be cool for have that series Randy Randy!! Absolutely a handful of people surely wanted these, but those people already got it long ago and now they a clogging the shelf. Which is fine. Hopefully Walmart agrees to never have exclusives after this. |

At least this way I have the hope of MAYBE scoring something cool. *taps the signature* Be kind, rewind, think of those of us who live in the woods, all that. Yeah but we have not seen 100$ 3 packs at walmart which wS my point. Like ya too but the average shopper at Walmart doesn't have 100$ to spend on toys. They go there to buy stuff cheap. Their clearance aisles are always empty for a reason. I don't believe a hogan 3 pack PRODUCED IN THESE AMOUNTS would sell even at 75$. This 3 pack was just overordered/overproduced... end of story. If it sold for 50$ it would still sit. Walmart just sucks at everything they do. How they thought this would sellout is beyond me. They clearly don't understand the wwe collector. All they had to do was make a deal with mattel for at least one figure that is extremely in demand. The only figurexsets that I could see selling for 100$ or more at Walmart is Lod and demolition. Or a 3 pack with akeem, Haku. |
