So over the past couple weeks I have acquired half of elite 7 (Found DHS and Cena at Wal-mart and have Kidd coming in the mail). So today after seeing an abundance of the DX figures every time I go to the store. I went to go pick up all three only to find Tons of HHHs and Hornys a couple Cenas and a DHS. No HBK, so still on the look out. Just gets aggravating when there were 3 or 4 a couple days ago.

Agreed, the figure you passed on a bunch of times is suddenly popular. Grrr, frustrating or to quote Taz, fus-trating!

Yeah, I hate when people buy figures that I want to buy. Not so much that someone bought the ones that I wanted to by, but that I saw them and made a note to come back for them since there were plenty, and them finding them sold. More mad that I didn't pick them up when I had the chance. |

thats the problem with overpacking & shortpacking figures.
Everything should just be the same. 2 of each per case. Done.
It's also a byproduct of crappy distribution.

What I hate even more is reading your post, since all I need is DHS! Plus, I just saw HBK at my WM but no DHS. Grrr.

Yeah, like the other day, after seeing the newer Elite Punk there for weeks, I finally said "Okay, I'm gonna go buy it!" and it was gone... It's a bummer.

There has never been a Mattel figure that I haven't been able to find in stores.....but there are a LOT of them that I have only seen ONCE. That is the reason why when I find a figure I am looking for I have to get it then. I won't pass it up and assume I will find it again because with the way stores restock so funky there is a chance they might NEVER restock that particular series ever again.
Unless the figure is damaged or has a messed up paint job, if I see a guy I want, I have to get it. I won't take the chance of never finding it again.

yeah, i hate when i go figging and they have a ton of new stuff and don't have enough money - so i go back after getting the cash only to find that they still have tons of the same new figures MINUS ONE!
i see what your saying but i have little pity because i just got back from a 40 mile/7 stop trip empty handed. be grateful you have E7 at all, and maybe pick up an extra DH or Hornswoggle to trade on the classifeds for the HBK.

The same thing happened to me with an Elite 2 Triple H. It sat there for a month, and when I finally decided to buy it, it was gone, and the store stopped selling Elites for the rest of the year.

I haven't even seen Elite 7 at retail yet, that's something I hate when it happens, when I can't find what I'm looking for!

Only saw Michaels once and passed on him. Now my Wal-Mart is stocked full on Cenas and Hunters.

With the way mattel ships out items coupled with the strange ordering from walmart and target, if u see a fig you need DO NOT PASS on it. I know the walmart closest to my house is great! They get everything and they get it in order BUT alot of times they don't restock they go on to the next set so if I missed it its gone
