Oh ... this is not the kind of thing my stores need right now. Still have not seen E34 around here.

With Mattel WWE line as popular as it is getting Why the F&@? Are these stores not LOADED with figures. They get one little ing case at a time. I remember as a kid walking into my TRU or KB toys and being absolutely mesmerized by the massive wall of endless figures I could choose from. I used to have so much trouble picking out just one when my father would let me get one. Even early Mattel was loaded just like that. I worked at Kmart 3 months after the Mattel wwe launch until about elite 9 and our store was ing PACKED. I'm talking every single aisle had wwe Mattels stacked on the top of the shelf for Xmas. Every aisle in the store. Buckets and buckets packed with Mattel figures. I guess the initial launch being such a fail has traumatized them so bad that they'll never accept the fact that they are actually WHITE HOT now and can ship product like they did during the launch. If not more. And it'll fly off the shelves. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers those days. It's downright depressing to walk into a retail store in 2015, and they have rows & rows of empty pegs... that never would have happened back in the Kay Bee days! They also used to put the figures in bins... I would spend so much time digging through the bins, looking for treasures!

Is anyone else seeing Cases of E33 Rollins JYD x2 and Reigns x2, E32 Bryan and Cody, and E34 Cena?? I've seen one at Sears and TRU express now. Leads me to believe it's some sort of garbage "best of elites". Wondering if anyone else has seen these. Yes,I just saw a case like this at my tru and was weirded out by it.I also thought that elite 34 hit there but I'm glad it was only Cena so I still have a chance at elite 34 hitting.

Maybe Bill could chime in with what is going on with elite 34, these mixed cases, and retail matters.

Why not re-release older, hard to find figures instead of this drubbery. E12 Kane, E16 Diesel/Nash...Goldust....just do not get this, This is probably the worst selling case in quite some time....most are pure peg warmers.

Product in the locator. Then of course product everywhere on endcaps and toy isles. Including shipper pallets.

I remember ALL the time seeing my toy store shelves brimming and overflowing with the newest series. MAYBE the one hot fig per series would be sold out but that was it. Nowadays literally 95% of the time I go to a figure isle it looks like the ravaged mess the day after Christmas shopping when only a handful of super shelfwarners dangle haphazardly in the barren wasteland.

Well that explains my frustrating Target trip where they had E32, 33, and only Cena from 34. I was furious that I had missed them as that was the first appearance of E34 out here. That's quite possibly the worst case since the full E26 Warrior cases.

Yes, saw this case a week ago at TRU, I thought it was a pile of returns or garbage someone swept up off the stockroom floor.

Just opened up two of these cases at local Target's I can't believe they actually exist. It's like they f'ed up at the mattel plant and pressed up an absurd amount of E32 and especially E33 figures. That series just won't go away. I bought my first E33 figure through amazon directly in late January and its still hitting strong.

The tracker went from 0 to 16 this morning, so I drove over to a Target to find not one, but two cases of this abomination. Where the f is Elite 34?
