I know there are thousands of threads on distribution but I don't care. I made it a goal this week to find Diesel and Punk from E16. Even though out of the 5 Wal-Marts I visited, 3 of them had E16..... I still failed. Why? Because each Wal-Mart only had 1-2 figs from the set. One Wal-Mart had 2 Rocks. Nothing else. I had the idiot worker scan the tag and it said they had 20 Elites. OK Mr. Wal-Mart Worker, where are the other 18? Response: On the truck therefore I cannot get to them. OK, cool. Bye. Next Wal-Mart.... One Zeke and an E15 Rey-Rey. Scan the tag- 2 in stock. A correct reading- wow. Ok, bye. Next Wal-Mart... a Randy Orton, Zeke, and Rey Mysterio E15. Scan the tag... 11 in the back. Where are they? Response: We have put out everything. OK, why does it say 11? Response: They must have been stolen or are somewhere else in the store. WTF? I've seen other posts with similar sentiment. Why is everyone finding only one or two from the set on the floor? And what is with Wal-Mart's little inventory gun? That things pisses me off. If you want them so bad, buy them online. You can't get pissed off if you can't find them at wal mart for dirt cheap. If your going to be a collector, of a highly in demand product, you got to be willing to spend the money on them. Whether its paying extra online, spending extra to run around to numerous stores to find them or whatever.

Well...I drive around to a bunch of cities within my state for work and have never not found a figure at retail. I have been looking for the E16 Punk and I have yet to find him or Diesel, however I have found all the others at least once. The majority of the walmarts haven't gotten any E16 yet, so I wouldn't worry. I've gotten figs from RSC before but every time I'd find the figure I just bought in retail. So I don't think you have to resort to paying a high price on RSC or ebay if you are patient. Every market/area is different, so not finding a popular figure before they've been put on shelves at every major retailer is not surprising
