So after finishing my shift today (I'm a police officer in S Fla), I decided to take a drive to Target because the Target App indicated they had elites in stock. I had checked the app yesterday, and it said LIMITED availability. So since today it said available, along with everyone finding Elite 22, I decided to try my luck. Wouldn't you know it... A fresh case of Elite 22. One figure of each in the series. I picked up the three I absolutely wanted which was Rock, Tensai, and Sandow. I hope to grab the other 3 at a later time. So first, here are my pics:           So we start with the Rock. What can I say? New body sculpt, nice deco, and the scan looks 100% better in person. Plus, he brings the new WWE Championship. I have to say that Mattel knocked it out of the park with the new belt. Loved this figure. Next we had Lord Tensai. Tensai has always been a sentimental favorite of mine, even going back to his Albert and A-Train days. I love the uniqueness of his appearance and Mattel nailed it with this figure. I also loved the entrance robe, as I believe WWE didn't give the gimmick enough time to build momentum. Lastly, we have Mr Money in the Bank, Damien Sandow. Mattel went all outs for this figure. Including his entrance robe, his little white under towel, and a mic to address the masses. The figure does a great job of capturing his arrogant smirk. All in all, I was pretty happy with my score today. Got three figures that I absolutely wanted since I saw them revealed. I recommend all three. DMG |

Great pick ups. I picked up The Rock on Wednesday and got Tensai and Sandow today. I love all of them. I wish the Tensai robe was not rubber, but I understand that it would have been far too expensive for Mattel to produce that out of cloth. If it was between Tensai or Sandow getting a cloth robe, I'm so glad that they had Sandow's robe and towel in cloth, rather than Tensai. Because as cool as Tensai's attire would have been in cloth, he only wore it twice in real life.
I love all 3 of these figures.

Hopefully this week The UPC for Rock: 746775181826 Tensai: 746775181864 Sandow: 746775181857 Those numbers aren't going to do him any good at Target I don't think. I don't think Target can look up numbers by UPC #'s, can they? He can use the UPC's at stores like Kmart, Walmart and Toys R Us, but I think the only way you can look up items at Target are with the DPCI #. The DPCI # for Elites at Target is: 087-06-1160 Now, the think with Target and the DPCI # is that there is no way to tell what figures are specifically there, because EVERY figure of EVERY Series has the SAME DPCI #. So if there are any figures in stock, online they will ALL show as in stock, which is why on Target.com it shows that Elite 1 Edge is in stock at all stores that have Elites in stock. So if you use the Target web site and it says Elites are in stock at your store, you won't know what Series it is or who they have unless you call the store or go there and check for yourself. If you are IN the store and don't see any Elites on the shelf, if you type the number I wrote into the scanner, it will tell you if there are anymore in the stockroom. If the scanner says YES, then you can find an employee and hope they aren't cranky and see if they will go into the stockroom and see if they have who you are looking for. OP, I hope this helped. |

Where in SFL did you find these? I'm in Miami and my local Targets have been empty except for Rumblers and WC Basics. I was in the nearest Target on Friday night and decided to try scanning the Elite price tag. The scanner said they had some in the stockroom, so I asked an employee if they could check (which I never bother to do). After some time the reluctant employee returned with a whole case, but it was E21.

I think the Targets in this area are starting to get them. DMG |

I plan to hit a couple of stores after my shift ends today (I'm a 911 operator). Thanks! |

I started collecting when I was 8 years old. Im now 30 and still love doing it. My wife supports my hobby as she knows its my little escape from the stress I endure at work. Still have as much passion for collecting as I did 22 years ago when I started. DMG |
