Recently we put a spotlight on mass pre-order cancellations at Walmart. Routinely occurring with collectibles ordered during Walmart’s Collector Con (a virtual event where Walmart offers exclusive collectibles from major brands)…. …pre-order cancellations for their offerings have become so surmountable that the event has been dubbed “Cancel Con” by the community. Most recently it has been occurring with Masterverse "Vintage Collection" Figures, where dozens of fans were complaining that they were receiving emails from Walmart stating that their pre-orders would no longer be filled. Yet, on eBay, there is a seller for instance that calls themselves WSI (possibly Warrior Sale Incorporated? based on…

I’ve seen that seller’s name pop up before when in connection with rare figures that they seem to have in abundance.
Definitely weird that they have all this stock that is supposed to be exclusively for Walmart.

How scary! Isn't it? The Mer-Man debacle led me to the same conclusion, as I had no reason to speculate sooner on the matter, since the availability of both MAA and Teela was pretty widespread in my country... hurray?!

Could those sellers be walmart employees??

Another possibility, there is a hot wheels collector and a pokemon collector in my area and I know for a fact that they both give out their phone numbers to employees at Walmart, target and even stop and shop. They give htf items or cash in return for employees putting aside things for them. I’m sure others do this as well

I heard of employees doing it before but not at this amount. That is a lot of figures!

Somebody said Mattel should hire a couple of private dicks and get to the bottom of it. I agree.

Now we are not going to speculate on where exactly stock like this comes from.

I mean if these are Walmart exclusives I do have a faint idea about where that stock might come from 😝 

For the consumers it does not matter if its incompetence or neglegence; Walmart needs to fix that ASAP and Mattel needs to stop using them for exclusives until they did.

I mean not that it will matter but someone should send Walmart an email and include pics of the sellers inventory

@brasco AJ tagged Mattel and Walmart on the social media posts. Hopefully someone is paying attention.

This is no small operation. At those quantities it's two pallets easy.

It could be happening at the port of entry before it gets to Walmart.
