Well, i went to my local Wal*Mart tonight to return a few extra legends i had, and decided to do my regular rounds. i check the figure isle, and saw leftover elite 9 figs, few ortons with the shirts stolen, and 1 lone E11 Rey. I thought it was weird they would only have 1 E11 figure left, so i decided to do some searching. i see an end cap with figs on it...a lot of figs on it....and go with my daughter over to check it out. 10 full sets of E10 4 full sets of E11 I was shocked! they must have just put them out as there was a ton of empty boxes down the next isle. i searched through and came out with these  now before i get scalded for being a scalper, i'm far from it. i picked up the 4 of them as i will be using them for trades on here with other board members (check out classifieds section). anyway, picking up WWE 12', getting my notice that my rockers shipped, and getting my L6 Kerry Von Erich in the mail today (pics up later/tomorrow), i'd say it was a pretty damn good day! |

SCALPER! (just kidding)
I wonder if this is part of a 'Black Friday' stock? ..and yours just put 'em out early?
I say this because the dude in the toy aisle at WalMart the other daywouldn't let me touch the boxes and said they were for Black Friday.

While people have the right to buy 4 of one figure, I will never understand the need to buy this many of one figure. Some little kid could have gotten one of these. Lame.

What makes you think if he didn't buy 4, the next person wouldn't have done the same? It's all fair game, it's on the shelves. It's not like he was waiting for the store to open up and like a scalper. He went there to return some figs and checked the isle and saw some Punks. The next waves of Punk figures, best believe he will be packed like Cena with 2-3 per case. Hopefully Mattel makes more since the demand for Punk isn't going away any time soon. While people have the right to buy 4 of one figure, I will never understand the need to buy this many of one figure. Some little kid could have gotten one of these. Lame. |

Ugh I still need Punk and still haven't seen E10 or E11 in my area but found E12 ADR I guess that's some consolation.

Chewdeezy, my issue is that he said they had 4 sets of E11. He bought all four. It doesn't matter if the next person was a kid, a collector or whatever. It's silly and excessive. But more importantly it takes opportunities away from other people to buy them. Unless he's related to CM Punk, there's no need to get four. To trade with other collectors? These things have hit in numerous areas. The collectors will be fine. He does have the right, but it seems like every time I come onto this forum people are obsessively compulsively buying large numbers of one figure that quite frankly aren't worth that much. My question is why? Respect the other collectors and more importantly the little kid whose parents aren't going to go to 10 stores to find one and let them get an opportunity to buy them. It honestly makes my blood boil.

Yeah, we all have, and if you answered no you're a liar. Should of just left them on the shelf for someone else to get one instead of being greedy for your own personal needs. It's the Holidays, fool, be courteous. |

I have no seen Elite 11 anywhere. If i wanted Punk i would trade for one. |

Before I sold my collection I wanted to get each Elite version of Punk and then get that number of Elite 11 Punks and swap the heads this way each Elite Punk would have that scan.

Lame. i personally never saw the difference between a scalper clearing the shelf or a collector clearing the shelf, but i personally don't care either way. |

Is this part of a new display at Walmart, or yours just had an endcap?

I feel the same like you guys only need one,two tops I understand u like someone and u want one in a box and one open but getting them to "trade" is dumb especially when it is someone like punk. There were atlas 20 threads about people finding that fig. And like jfinamore said there is no difference between what he did and what a scalper will do. Sorry for the little rant but I feel this way.

I never understand people who get upset when someone buys extra figures for trade. If somebody else needs that figure and obtains it by trading another figure...its just as level of a playing field....just pretend the 3 guys he trades to came in to wal mart and bought the other punks...
