So first a few store pics: Saw this today at TRU, I don't need it or want it, but its fun to see new stuff. Face looks pretty dopy. 
I know these are older now, but this is the first "mother-load" I've seen at one of my local Walmarts since maybe e23. Found at Walmart 1.
 The display has the new logo, but no figures with it.
Another Walmart had an insane stock of T-shirt Macho Mans, well 5 here (6 the week before when I bought one). Found at Walmart 2.
This is what I walked away with. (Tamina found at Walmart 3)
The two figures I bought are fairly old, but I finally decided to buy them after seeing them several times. They were both from Walmarts and on sale, so that was part of the reason I pulled the trigger. I had the extra head and sweatshirt, so that made the decision to get the basic punk easier. I got the Tamina cause I finally decided to pull the trigger on some Divas (Nattie and Brie once I get the chance) and I like her.
These 3 Walmarts are all within 25mins of each other and perhaps it illustrates how shoddy their distribution is, cause Walmart 1 was super-stocked on everything, Walmart 2 had maybe 4 or 5 lingering elites from e22-e26, but was mega-stocked on the generally hard to find Macho Man. The 3rd Walmart had no elites and a couple old battle packs and basics.
Question: "What are some figures you passed on, but ended up getting after several chances? What changed your mind?"

What part of the country are you in? The Brock is a great find. Ca, the SF Bay area. I was surprised to see it. I have no need for him, although besides his face, he looks to be a nice figure... cool packaging too. |

I passed on SS98 Triple H, Zeb Colter, Great Khali and a few other Basics.
I finally caved on all of those because I was bored and tiring of finding nothing in stores when Elite hunting. Actually, now that I think of it, I started collecting Basics just because of that!

That Brock is the best big book figure yet. Can't wait to put it on my Taker streak shelf

I ended up buying a Sheamus Elite, I didnt want one but I ended up finding it at Target for 4 dollars brand new. I also did not want a Live event Cena elite but I picked it up at Kmart for 1 dollar, still over priced but 1 dollar for a new figure isnt too bad.

I passed up on bray many times, but when I seen E29 I went back and got him to completethe family.
Also passed up on Andre, but have in when it is an awesome figure after all. Plus I don't come across him often.
Great pickups though , I might get that Brock specifically because it has something to do with taker

Actually, now that I think of it, I started collecting Basics just because of that! I started getting a few basics for head swaps, honestly though the first one I picked up with the intention of keeping and displaying was the yellow Mr.Perfrect. I have a handful now. |

The best deal was when I found brand new legends figures on clearance for .99 cents at Kmart. I bought every one I found. To make the deal better Kmart was giving customers an additional 50% off of clearance Items. So those elite Legends ended up costing me less then .50 cents each. I dont think I'll ever find new figures in store for less than that. |

I love that 21-1 Brock... I think the figure is decent, just dont care for that scan. Looks more dopy to me than really capturing his crap eating grin. |

With the Brock I'm not sure if I will get it or not. If TRU has figures I want to get him free I will get Brock, but if not I might just pick up the E30.
