My TRU got E14 in late April, early April i believe. In may they got another random case of E13. Since the last week of May i've been calling TRU on Friday morning (truck day), and every week............ nothing. We've never gone this long without Elites, any idea on whats up?
What other retailers would have them besides Target/Walmart which don't?

My TRU received a case last week.
I found a case today and here was the breakdown.
Rey x 3
Sin Cara x 2
Bourne x 2
Truth x 1
These revision cases are starting to piss me off.

I've been going every week...makes me mad. I feel like I've been looking for them for over a month...very frustrating.

I'm still waiting on E15 to hit retail in my area too (central ohio), haven't seen a single fig anywhere and I have covered a lot of ground lately. Seems like a lot more E14 has been showing up recently, which is fine but after comic con I'm feeling way behind lol. Really wanting that Yoko!

I've never seen Elite 15 at retail either. I was lucky enough to get Yokozuna from Mattelshop for $15.99 and I got an Elite 15 Rey Mysterio from Mattelshop on sale for $12.99.
I want Elite 15 R-Truth also. Amazon has him for $17.99, but I feel like maybe Walmart will get Elite 15 this week and maybe I can price match for the TRU sale and get him for $14.
Either way, I don't wanna pay $17.99 for R-Trith, so even if I find him at retail when no sale is going on it will be less than $17.99.

The only Elite 15 I've seen is a lone Rey at a Meijer last week. Found Elite 16 at a Meijer yesterday. Hoping I find Yokozuna soon.

Where I live (North East PA) there is nothing new. My local TRU got in a cube display in mid March with E13, and E14. Literally I was 5 minutes late the day they got it and no Booker or Boss Man, damn scalpers.
My Walmart kept restocking E13 like there was no tomorrow and finally last month they got in E14 but again No Booker or Boss Man. (I did actually buy a Boss Man there, but it was one that another member here returned from an on-line purchase, so lucky me I guess but still no FB's thanks to "revision cases") So my chances of actually seeing Yoko are very slim.
My TRU has been restocking... you guessed it.. E13 as of late. Way to be behind the 8 ball TRU. My K-Mart and my Target are both still sitting on E12 Ortons since January. Target has been somewhat decent about Basics but thats all.
For as good as the pics at Comic Con were for me that's all I'll ever see of some of these Elites... Pics. Sorry Mattel but either you don't care, or you are mis-informed about how available these are to us. Granted it doesn't help that one FB will peg warm in one region, and be immpossible to find in another area... no thanks to the wonderful distribution. No offense but the west coast has much better chances then we do.
Sad thing is I really want to spend my money on their products, but they make it immpossible. In this economy, more companies should be throwing a bone to it's customers, and there are many of us who refuse to use RSC (not a dig at them and I understand why they charge a lot of $ for their figs, but let's face it not all of us can afford their prices) and also refuse to give in to the evil bay. Mattel should make it a personal mission that we get what we want or at least get a fair shake. There were some sets where I didn't stand a chance because we never got them.
If anything Mattel has been helping me support Hasbro since I can never find what I am looking for Mattel-wise. Heck, Hasbro's 6" Exclusive Avengers are supposed to be "Hard to Find" and that was a cake walk compared to a common Elite that is supposed to be available at all retial stores. Seriously Effed Up.
Tangent rant over.

I'm not worrying about E15 yet. I still have yet to see E14 Booker T and Boss Man in retail.

the biggest problem isnt really the stores , or how they stock.. its honestly the internet...
you see someone find something.. so you run out almost expecting to find it.. and you dont.. so you keep trying , you get pissed off , then the blame game starts....
i like the hunt too , but i try not to get worked up over it.. when i go out , i expext to find nothing.. so wheni do .. its a good day.

I saw elite 15 at a Walmart that I dont go to normally. They didnt have Sin Cara or Yoko and I couldnt find anybody in the toy section to ask to see if there was more. Its next to a Sears Grand Central that had a elite Chris Jericho for 14.99 shelfwarming there that I went to go buy that day as I have been looking back at the elite series picking up ones that I want and value ones of guys who dont have any other elites or might not again. Also at Sears Grand Central if you sign up for their credit card you get 15 bucks off your purchase and you can cancel right away so you can basically get a free figure there if you want to do that.

Or you go out, find a new case but it's a damn revision. I already have 2 x Bossman/Booker/Yoko and I'm still pissed. It's like Mattel is playing psychological warfare with collectors. |

Luckily I found a full case at TRU today. With Yoko and Henry (not revision), picked up Yoko and Bourne. Other than that, I've only seen a couple of Mysterios at a wal mart once a few weeks back.
