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! Yeah I guess the title does sound funny. As far my arena, The sides are printouts that were taped onto posterboard then laminated. Then I cut a bunch of straws for the rectangle lights, used more poster board to keep them curved, and added LEDs. The Barricades are the Mattel ones that came with the RSB playset, and the see through barricades toward the stage are made of 2 types of filters. The plastic parts are from a commercial air conditioner filter piece that is used to keep the filters in shape. The see through material are Edenpure heater filters. BTW guys, I feel like an idiot. I stopped to TRU during my lunch break and they stocked... big time. They had 18 pegs full of B26 and B27. I picked up Antonio Cesaro

Yes, it is bone dry here. I'm beyond sick of it. Why does Target have pegs with figures in every line they carry except the WWE? I found one E19 Ziggler yesterday, today another store had several B25 Ortons, a B25 Miz, and a few B23 leftovers (which they restocked recently). And that's it.
And TRU had a few Signature Series figures and about 10 PPV Cenas (great job with that case pack Mattel!) So it's obvious these figures are selling, the stores and/or Mattel are just doing a crap job of stocking. I guess I gotta move to California, that sounds like the best place for new stuff.

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. I was just there today and it was exactly like that. I did manage to score 3 new Hot Wheels cars

lol our Walmarts only have power slammers smh, we don't have Target, Kmart has nothing noteworthy at all, and when TRU gets stuff they usually don't last long on shelves. Surprisingly, I found a BOPPV Christian recently... no IC title some idiot stole it. So yea you guys should be grateful for what you have.

E19 DBry's are everywhere at my Walmarts.
My TRU is seriously the worst store ever. I haven't seen a regular Elite series there in months.
My K-Mart does well with Basics, just flooded STILL with E12 Orton.

All of the Walmarts in my area that had the Easter display got the one filled with Signature Series. This pretty much has eliminated any chance of finding Basics at these stores for the next 3 months. As far as Elites go, they are either loaded down with E19 D Bryan (seen 3 full pegs of him at one Walmart) or they have empty pegs.
I only have one TRU, one Target, and one Kmart in my immediate area and they are all terrible. The only thing TRU evers stocks is it's own exclusives, Target's pegs are empty 95% of the time, and Kmart is loaded down with old shelfwarmers, Tribute to the Troops, and Signature Series.

I've stopped checking - figured I was checking too frequently and setting myself up for disappointent. Besides, I have everything I want from retail right now, except that elusive red Sin Cara, so I figured if I take a few weeks off maybe the stores will look brand new when I go back?
But yes, quite a drought around here...

For the most part, hella dry. But if I keep going I get lucky. I caught most of series 19 during the Buy one get one 40% off sale.. here is the video of my haul from that day. I was so happy!

My problem with Toys R Us is that ALL their figures are Toys R Us exclusives. I wanted to get the elite Daniel Bryan with the submission wrestling shirt, but it was $21.99 plus tax, because it came with Michael Cole's queer torso. Next time I go, I'll make a video of all the $h!t they have.

My area consistently is awful, it's either dry or cherry picked, I either live by another collector or a scalper and I hate it

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? And ? I dont have a single fn figure in the town with a Toys R Us... I need to Buy Overpriced Figs on Ebay -.-

Like mrperfect25 said, it's feast or famine. If I didn't work at a retail store, I'd be f'd because the only new stuff I find elsewhere in my town are the "scalper leavin's"(sounds like a cereal, "part of an incomplete wrestling collection!") after they've picked over all the "hot" figures. It also doesn't help that stores rarely restock. We(walmart) get a new case of basics once a month and my store has had the same 2 Daniel Bryans(6 pegs for elites btw) for over a month and nothing else. 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.

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? This is pretty much the state of my hunt except I got a few boppv figs out of the TRU sale, all the basic ones and Cena and Sheamus elites, they also had a Christian, but there wasn't anything else worth buying with him to make the inflated price more reasonable so I had to let him go.

I hit 3 different Wal-Mart's yesterday: 1st had no Elite's or BP, only Basics were leftover Shirt Series Cena and Orton, couple Sig Series Mysterio,and the dreaded Basic 6-pack 2nd one had 10 of Basic 13 Rey Mysterio (no, i did NOT make that up!), BP 21 Orton/Sheamus and Kane/Bryan, and no Elites. 3rd had remains of Sig series (Mysterio,Cara), BP 21 again minus PTP,and once again NO Elites!!! hit that 1st WM again this morning cause it's close to me - same as yesterday except they put out another case of----wait for it! ----- Signature Series!
