I just want to start by saying that I know the purpose of sales is to get rid of merchendise. However, I dont understand how it is that I go to about a dozen TRU's in the last week, AND EVERYBODY HAS BOPPV WM 27 (Cole BAFs). THIS IS TOTAL BS.
K-Mart BOGO, 2 weeks after the cubes... SMH. NOTHING IN ANY KMART.
Come on Mattel and retailers. The only retailer that seems to get it, is the one that doenst do sales, WAL MART. They re-stock good stuff at least every two weeks. I just dont understand the point of having a sale for figures EVERYBODY already has.

That's pretty much why, in a nutshell. |

Kmart's sale annoyed me too. I did get a Nash from a cube but my two other Kmarts got nothing. Then I saw the BOGO, I thought the Kmarts might be saving the cube for the advertised sale. Nope, still nothing.
Kmart had displays for everything like Mega Blocks Halo, Barbies, Thomas the Train, Dairy Queen ice cream makers, Atari style Hot Wheels (really?!?) so it's not like it was some small K with no cube displays.

My walmart has sucked for the past 2-3 months. They just got in a revised case of E16 that I got a Nash from, but 2-3 months with only 1-3 elites on the shelf is ridiculous and i guarantee all those E16 Rocks will sit for months.

My Wal-mart has be superb over the last month. B17, 18, 20, and 21 have all been stocked within the last month, along with 2 cases of Elite 16 and 1 case of Elite 15. They are a little behind, but I'm okay with that because the entire state of North Dakota is behind.
As for the sales.....They are what they are. Take advantage of them when you can I guess.

TRU and K-Mart (thanks to the cube) have been kicking butt near me.
Wal-Mart and Target have been a disaster of late. That's the fun of Mattel - you never know what you're gonna get - I guess they use the box of chocolates distribution scheme.

Wow, I am suprprised to hear it has been Walmart of all places that has been good for people out there. For me, TRU has been the best place to buy anything in recent history. In the last 2 months aquired 14 new WWE figures (which is damn good for me considering I go without getting any due to stores not having anything) and 10 of them were from TRU. NTM this isn't including 2 COO Triple H figures I got thanks to my TRU purchases, and I was able to take advantage of sales.
Oddly enough out of these 14 (technically 19 if you include the Legends I picked up at my local Big Lots) new figures none of them came from Walmart... or Target as they are useless 99% of the time too.
I have 2 Walmarts in my area. 1 has had the same 5 E15 RTruth figures warming pegs (which reminds me, I should pick him up before he is gone) as well as the peg warming figures of B15. The other keeps restocking E11 (no Punks... of course) and BO2011 Elites.
Sorry guys but TRU had been gold to me. However, I don't expect this to last long so I'll enjoy it while I can.

One of my Walmarts has Rock x 6. Another WM had a case of E13 with only Ziggler sold. |

I have given up entirely on TRU. All I ever see is the Cole BAF and basic Cena. The 20-0 Taker finally showed up, but there is nothing worth buying to get the deal.
My Wal-mart is still setting on a ton of E14 Cena and E12 Orton. I wouldn't know that any of the later series had ever come in if it wasn't for a few stray E15 Bournes.
It seems the only way I ever find new figures is hitting K-mart at exactly the right time or traveling out of state.

I'm in the same boat. I would love to take advantage of one of these sales, but neither my local Kmart or TRU have a damn thing worth buying and haven't in ages.

I have a feeling those E-16 Rocks will stop warming shelves once he returns to Television. As they are current ring gear.

Kmart and TRU are always the best for me. I very rarely find anything good at Walmart and I've NEVER found anything good at Target.
