Im in the UK and my local store is Smyths which im sure you've seen mentioned on these boards, usually when it gets an Elite series in theres 2 maybe 3 boxes and thats it. My Smyths - Walsall, just got Elite 16 in, and I kid you not, they had at least 30 cases. Heres a pic, I only took pic of Elites but you can see the edge of Basics to the right, Big Show is bottom left so we got series 21 here too, but they only had big show on display and refused to go up and check the boxes saying thats all they had, I doubt it, they would have got the set. There was oly like 2 Big Show's as well. Anyway They must have had at least 20 Heath Slaters on display and 20 Diesels too. There were tons stacked up loose above the shelving and tons of opened and unopened boxes of elites, and around 10 boxes of basics. Here's the pic, I've never seen anything like it. I picked up Heath Slater, well actually my Dad did whilst I went to another shop and got Yoshi Tatsui and Natayla in a 2 for £15 deal [argos] as Smyths sell basics at £9.99 with no deal. The Heath Slater I only looked at whilst home and it has black paint on the forehead and left side of face so going to take it back in the week, I'll take more pics and update this thread ok  |

Holy crap cakes.
I would ask you to get me a Slater and Diesel but not sure if I would want to pay £15.49 each + postage... :[
Man, I wonder how long they will be in stock for, will take a while for sure.

You know what else, they were taking away all the John Cena's, they must have had over a 100 basics on display and not one was John Cena, they were taking them all away in boxes of Cena and Orton, although they did have some Orton on display
This many E16 has me so hopeful for the future, Smyths have said WWE is their best seller they've clearly upped their orders, hopefully E17 will be as stocked

No Nash, not in this shipment. Will be in the revised cases.

Now, if only they had Nash, that would have been perfect.

This doesn't matter to me. All I care about is if someone sees a Kevin Nash.
Once someone finds a Nash in their local store, that's big news.

Once the revised cases come in later, I'm sure he'll start popping up at places. Hopefully Smyths will get a lot of the revised cases in too! |

Does Smyths stock like that all year or are they prepping for the Holidays?
They should expand overseas. I think TRU needs a competitor.

They've only really started to up their game since Elite 13 came out. Before that they didn't stock a big number of Elites and they'd be sold out in a matter of days. Elite 16 is the first set to be available in such a high quantity here and I really hope they keep it up from now on. There seems to be a partnership kind of thing going on between WWE and Smyths as they held most of their signings with them earlier in the year and The Miz was involved in a competition there this week. |
