I spent all day today figure hunting, ONLY looking for Elite 17 Mankind. That's it. There are 4 Walmarts within an hour range all around me. So I hit up the first one: They had ALL of Elite 17 except Mankind and Ryder. Even had a Kelly Kelly. Looked like the entire case had just been put out, untouched except for those 2 figs. So then I think, ok, they should be setting up for Christmas in my area, so I head to another one. They have ALL of E16, even Diesel, which I already have. No E17 yet. Went to the next one, and the exact same scenario as the first: Only Mankind and Ryder missing, the rest seemingly untouched. SO finally, at my wit's end, I decided to hit up the last one, with very low expectations. I get there, and they have all of E17 except K2, Ryder, and Mankind. I mean, how many of each of those figures are shortpacked? Is it like only one of each of those per case? If so, thats beyond stupid. All I wanted was a damned Mankind, and the way my Walmarts work here, once they put out one series they dont reorder again until they get another wave. So it looks like I'll have to just pay SCALPER prices and pay $35 to get Mankind, even though I looked everywhere. (on another note, my TRU still hasnt got in E17, and neither have my 2 Kmarts. And dont even get me started on Target, they have nothing.)

Mankind is 1 per case, as is Ryder and Kelly in the first wave

Hence why I usually buy online. My time is worth more than the few bucks extra I pay online.

I picked up Nash, mankind, and K2 at Wally World today. Got any thing to trade? I'd do a 1v1 if you got something I want. All 3 available.

Most elites are one per case. Ryder and Mankind are not shortpacked. Ryder's actually packed heavy, two of him in each case in the second shioment. Kelly is the only shortpacked figure in series 17, as she's not in the second shipment.

You should have gotten the K2 or Diesel and try to trade for a Mankind in the classifieds instead of leaving empty handed feeling like you wasted time and gas.

Does anyone else think some of the short packing is a little overboard? I mean is Mattel trying to make it close to impossible for some people to find who they're looking for? Lol

Lol No, considering the only short packed figure is Kelly and most people are finding it easily. So there is a revision case without Mankind? No. There is one without Kelly. Everybody else has at least one figure in every case.

I wonder how much time and gas was wasted when you could have bought each one online, for a bit more, but how much is your time worth??
