Last week TRU restocked Legends 3. Today it was Target. Is this widespread or did my stores randomly get a new box.
How is Target going to sell these at $15?

They were probably sitting in those 2 stores distribution centers still. I'm sure the warehouses don't follow the whole "fifo" rule of first in first out. My TRU had just put out another case of Series 3 last week...but at least they are/were selling Legends at $13 so I picked up another Mr Perfect. They probably grab the cases of the first skid they see. I'm sure in a couple months they'll grab Series 4.

My Target got a fresh case in too. They REALLY seem to have overproduced this wave

I went to Target today and the pegs had a nice assortment of series 2 and 3. All The Rocks were gone not surprisingly.
At this rate, I wonder if we'll see Series 4 in August in TRUs and Target.

This is the biggest problem in Mattel land. Anyone who wanted these had them MONTHS ago.
It really scares me about the availability of future lines, not just Legends, but every line in general. I suppose it's our fault for not buying doubles (or even triples!) of figures we already have...

Stopped by a TRU near me yesterday and they also had restocked on Series 3.

This is why I only go to my local Walmart. Never behind in series, typically has the new Basic and Elite and 2 Packs within 3 weeks of when they are typically spotted at retail for the first time.
My TRU hasn't been truly updated since Christmas, and has a few Legends but mostly the All Star 2 packs.

That is ridiculous. These should be long gone. I feel like I've had these figures forever. (wouldn't mind picking up another Vader though).

I guess it depends on where you live. I have only seen Legends 3 a couple of times and only certain figures. I saw Perfect and Bulldog twice, Vader once and never did see the Rock in store. I have seen Duggan and Pillman a few times at 2 different stores and that's it.

It's the Super Wal-Mart off of 40 HWY, where the old Blue Ridge Mall used to be. I've also had a great deal of luck at the Wal-mart in Liberty, MO as well. |

My Target just put out like 4 cases of Legends 3.....so many that they are falling off the shelf onto the floor.
November/December called and they want their figs back......I'll never understand how the hell these figures get distributed.
Mattel blames the stores....but my Target has put out newer figures since Legends 3 came out, so I refuse to believe that all those cases were sitting there in the back when Target was putting out newer stuff.

I have found several Rocks at Family Dollar. I like the mattel figures and all, but I worry about the lines just remembering what they did to MOTU 6-7 years ago. Kept producing He-man and Skeletors in every wave, and shortpacked the secondary guys, which made it difficult to find them. Stores were full of repainted he-mans. Seems like a similar thing happened when they took over Batman. Not sure, not a true collector, I buy them for nephew to play with though I do love them.

Where are you located Jeffro because I've been to every Family Dollar in search of the most electrifying man in all of entertainment but have had no luck.
On topic though my TRU has a bunch of L2 and Best of 2010's as well as some basic 7's and All-Stars packs.I go every week to see if they have anything new but sadly it's always the same.....NOTHING.And don't get me started on the K Mart's in my area.

I am in Middle, GA. Milledgeville to be exact. I have came across 4 of them at 2 Family Dollars. Been a few weeks since I checked. Haven't seen Vader though. PM me if you want me to check for you and ship it to you. Can't do the classifieds yet.

As great as the set is, I am absolutely sick of seeing Legends 3. There are tons of them at my local K-Mart and Wal-Mart that have been there for months. It angers me because I have not seen Legends 4 or 5 and the reason for that is due to these warming the shelves.

My Walmart just received a box of basic Royal Rumble Heritage! They will never get anything new.

I wish I could take a picture of one of my TRUs for you... the reason I cant is I refuse to go there.... they are up to date on TNA, but outside of Mysterio/Royal RUmble Heritage, they have:
at least 20 S2 Rudes
at least 20 S2 Snukas
at least 15 S2 Kamalas
at least 15 S2 Funks
At least 20 S2 Jakes
About 20 Shelton WM26
About 5 Swagger Elite WM26
About 10 Jericho WM 26
About 30 HBK WM 26
A few Beth/Santino 2 packs, a couple of Cody/DiBiase 2 packs(SERIES 1 and the newer one), a bunch of Cryme Tyme 2 packs....
and a few Dusty's and Sarges.

I noticed that our TRU finally had series 3 a couple weeks ago, but my Target still has a shelf full of series 1 Sgt. Slaugters.
