Good Morning Everybody, I have noticed in my area as of late that we are seeing a major drought. I can't even complain about pegwarmers, it is simply there just aren't many figures to buy. Sure I can easily buy Power Slammers if I wanted to I am talking about Basics and Elites. To give you an idea of what I have been not seeing at my local stores: TRU- During the WWE sale, hardly anything worth mentioning. Now... No figures at all. They put up shelves for rings, Brawlin Buddies, Powers Slammers, etc. The only pegs they have are for Rumblers. Walmart- Sig Series, T-Shirt series, and the best of peg warmers 6 pack. Yet, they have 6 pegs for Elites that have been empty for well over a month. WTF? BTW, mine didn't get the Easter display. Target- One lone B23 Rey. Really, Really,... Really? Again 2 pegs for Elites haven't been filled in weeks and I guess they aren't restocking Basics til that one Rey sells. K-Mart- The only place that has a decent selection of RAW Cena Elites, the peg warmers from E16 and all the peg warmers from B21, B22, and of course TTTT. Now of course there are some pegwarmers, but as far as Elites go that is 3 out of 4 stores that simply aren't ordering them. I am caught up on Elites, til E21 but what about everybody else who wants to buy some figs. Plus there are a few Basics I wouldn't mind picking up but I guess I am SOL in that department. I swear it is like these store order 1 case a month or something. I can't blame this on Mattel this time because it isn't like every store I walk into is plagued with 30 E12 Ortons like last year. This time there just isn't any figs to buy. Yet both Target and Wally have spaces for them. What the hell is going on?

Three Targets put out a case each of Basic 27 and Elite 20 & Battle Packs (20?) yesterday. And one store was empty of everything again today. The other store I went to again today only had a few BP, 2 Christian and a Punk left.
TRU put out 2 cases of the BoPPV Basics and 3-4 cases of Basic 26.
As of yesterday WalMart still only had 6 Rey Mysterio's.

I honestly rarely fig hunt, I usually do only when I get a tip from the Fig Findings board because most of the time when I just arbitrarily stop at a store it's pretty bare.

I've only seen remnants of E20 at TRU 2 weeks ago, and at Target 2 days ago. They had 1 Rhodes and TRU had 2 Punks and 4 Cenas.
2 of my WM's got the B27 Easter shipper. I had no problem finding those. And now my TRU has them, along with B26.
My WM's never got the SS Tshirt case with Miz and Truth. My wife grabbed Miz while she was out of state for work.
My TRU has yet to really stock either BOPPV BAF series in full force.
My area is always feast or famine.

the subject heading gave me a chuckle.
your arena setup is outstanding. What did you use to make the sides of the stage and what for barricades? great stuff!

My TRU literally has nothing but Brawlin' Buddies and Power Slammers.
Wal-mart has nothing but tons of basic Punks, Sheamus and Cenas, and a Hunico that I don't need.
Target has nothing but Power Slammers and Rumblers.
K-mart only has R-Truth, Rey, Orton, and Mason Ryan.

My Tru's stocked a few E20 but nothing since. I've seen E19 at my Targets but they dont seem to last too long either. Thats about it. Everything else is power slammers and buddies.

I had a discouraging trip looking for B28. I stopped at four Walmarts today, three had freshly filled pegs of Signature Series and one had restocked B23. Other than that and the month after Christmas, retail hasn't been too bad since last Fall's resets.

to the OP, down here in lower Luzerne County,it's no better. Wal-Mart in Hazleton has so many empty pegs it's ridiculous! no elite at all,only Basic is a couple Mysterio's ,T-Shirt Orton,and the 6-pack.

Actually no, it rained here today! Kidding. But as of recent yeah, nothing but a ton of elite 19 daniel bryan's everywhere, the new basic series with cesaro, and just various things really. I need to find an elite 20 punk/Jericho, but it'll be AGES.

My area is TERRIBLE. The walmarts I thought were getting better because I found the new DBry and Ziggler elite, and all the "exclusive'' tshirt figures, but it's still empty... The target by my house only has best of 2011 elite and flex force. The ToysRUs only has the Toys R Us exclusive, like the ones that come with Michael Cole pieces, and the pieces of the backstage arena and stuff... I hate it, because even if I wanted the figure... It's like $20 because it has the extra little part in it... It's BS. And they have NO tna stuff... I hate it!

It's hit and miss. The stores in my area aren't "too" bad.....obviously I'd like things to be found a little quicker, but I'm not going weeks and weeks without finding something.
Last week I was able to get the Prime Time Players from Walmart. Today I was able to find Best of PPV Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar. 2 weeks before that I found Best of PPV Del Rio and Ziggler. The week before that I found Best of PPV Sheamus. The week before that I found the Curt Hawkins/Brodus Clay 2-Pack. 2 weeks before that I found Ziggler, Kane and Brock from Elite 19.
So, it just boils down to hitting the stores on the right day, and getting a little lucky.

Target is usually my nemesis, but I'm starting to think TRU is worse. I traveled back to Ohio for Easter and stopped at 2 TRU's on the way, the one in my hometown, and 2 others on the way back. All garbage. All I see are Rock headphones and stupid alarm clocks. Charlie f'n Kelly - Your sig is better and way more distracting than mine. I could barely type lol

I wish I lived in the same town as The Office. LOL But yeah my area sucks right now. We had a decent rush right before easter of E20 but thats about it. E19 was hard to find. And its been bad ever since Xmas.
