Just wondering if finding any older sets of Legends and Elites at walmart will be hard. I know some of you have E4 Finlay sitting on your shelves but I guess my question is would it be crazy for me to expect to find any legends and older elites (1-8)? Ive checked the findings board but didn't see a Virginia sub-board.

It will be hard. Walmart tends to clear out their older stuff quickly, so I wouldn't expect anything older than Elite 7. On the other hand, my TRU is putting out cases and cases of Elite 3 and 4 now.
New--------------Variety-------------------Old Walmart-----Kmart--Target--------------TRU
I'm in California btw, so it might be very different there.

If I could find E7 Hart Dynasty that'd be great. Im really looking for those 2, E8 Edge, and too many legends to list.

All I can say is it depends. There's stories of old figures being found (I, for one, would love a shot at Tommy Dreamer). My Walmart (PA so not too far away from you) just put out Elite 8 that didn't sell since July, disappeared in September (and so did pegs for Elites), and reemerged. Another Walmart is stuck on elite 9 because minus Zack Ryder no one wants Repaint Randy, MVP, or Luke Gallows. Legends, depending on what stores you go to, you can expect a good amount of them if they aren't Rock, Austin, Warrior, or Eddie (like how my Ollie's has all of series 3 minus Rock, Kmart has three Steamboats in destroyed packaging). Also, may I suggest CVS and Rite Aid. They may have older Mattel series there.
So, depending on where you go, you may be able to track down some older figures. Chances are they won't be the headlining figures of the sets, though :/
Edit- if you're looking for E8 Edge, you may have a decent chance. Kmart didn't move their last one until buy one get one 50 percent off. Since he retired, all interest in him has dropped. I actually picked up E8 at the first Walmart I mentioned, while oddly enough Regal (I'd say to expect him if you're expecting older figures- he's a more recent kind of Finlay shelfwarmer tbh) and McIntryre were gone.

It depends on where you live. Some areas have older stuff while others have newer. I would check the off beat stores where you least expect finding anything. Chances are they have older stuff. Then again they might not.

Thanks for the tips guys. I just got the last E8 Regal my walmart had (I live in NC, on the VA line) so now all we have is E11 Barrett and TLC's, Extreme Rules, Summer Slam Heritage, and B12&13. And are Ollie's really good for figures? There's one about 20 minutes away and if the prices are good ill go there instead. I noticed people keep saying they have L3 at their Ollies so that would be fine by me if I could find Perfect and Vader.

Around Christmas time, Ollie's got Entrance Greats Rock and Undertaker and L3 and some Rumblers. My Ollie's had a ton of Best of 2010 Batista but no others from that set.

K mart is the only place I had any luck. Scored Vickie, Ezekiel Jackson, and RRH HBK the beginning of the month last week. Then this week I scored Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Sgt Slaughter Legends for $6 a pop. The legends are about on there way out friend. K Mart seems to be the only place to get any right now and they will prob be done soon to.

This past week I have found: Kidd, Finlay, Jericho Elites. A few old Elites still exist. Check Targets, Wal Marts, K Marts or other stores that have big toy sections. Good luck!

It's Orton and ADR everywhere around here. My wife and I are looking for a decent priced Elite Kidd but we never saw Elite 7 in our local stores. I think Kmart still has an Elite Finlay, the HoF Legends, and an Elite MVP.

my walmart has alot of older elites from series 8,9 and 10 sitting on the shelves. guys like regal, undertaker, yoshi, and some others.
Ive seen Jericho , goldust and matt hardy warming the shelves at kmart.
Tru had a bunch of those exclusive triple h and taker ones for awhile but theyve cleaned alot of them out since the recent sales.
