I found this today at a K-Mart in Niles, Ohio. There was a 19.99 sticker on it even though it had the main sticker on the peg of 39.99. I inquired about it and got it for 19.99. I'm glad I held off on Amazon. I got a great deal due to their error! And I thought my $32 grab from them online was great?!

My K-Mart is closing so I doubt I'll get this. If they get it in, that means it'll be 35% off!

Personally I'm hoping we get a NOD Crush, D'Lo and Mark Henry to go with these, eventually.

My kmarts are dry as hell. I walked in one day and they had Star Wars figures from 2002. This was 3 months ago. That's odd

I guess i missed something. I thought the set was an online only exclusive. I had no idea it was making it to brick and mortars. Thanks for the heads up as i would never have thought to be on the lookout for it at the Mart of K. And, of course, congrats on the find!

and because this is only online and kmart, I would guess it will be a flop at retail and be considered a risk to produce anything more beyond this set. We will be lucky if we get 1 more before the end of elite 2pks.

Thanks for the heads up as i would never have thought to be on the lookout for it at the Mart of K. And, of course, congrats on the find! I thought it was an online exclusive as well to Amazon and ringside. Heck, Bill even confirmed as much if I recall correctly. Maybe they sold well enough to where they were comfortable of enough to send to retail, albeit in small quantities? I'd say this is actually a good sign we'll get at least one more round of these elite two packs by the end of 2016. And then they'll reevaluate things then. It's hard to judge on the success of this kind of product line, just by the sale figures of the first wave. There are too many factors involved that could've lead it to being unsuccessful. In this case maybe the characters weren't popular amongst fans or something like that. So with this second set, maybe we'll see Mattel deliver a more popular tag team or duo of sorts that'll be more popular. You can then try to compare sale figures at that point to see if the line continues. Similar to the hall of fame four pack. The first one was an "experiment" and the second can be considered the second half of that experiment, that is, providing something to judge the first set by.

You are assuming Kmart will be able to sell off a good number of these at a $40 msrp? In my area there are four walmarts, six targets, and only one crappy Kmart that never seems to even stock elites. And now even targets exclusive elite 4pk is majorly discounted down to $25.

I'm saying this might be Mattel giving it a chance to see if it would sell at $40. Ultimately I think it'll fail at retail at that price. I'd assume most collectors who were interested have already bought it from RSC or Amazon. The average buyer may indeed pass on it unless it gets severely discounted. Which is indeed likely now, let's not forget that. Proof has already been given that this is actually selling for $19.99 at some kmarts not $39.99.

Doesn't Kmart have a some form of a loose relationship with Ringside Collectibles anyways? I mean on their website you can order the same product and exclusives that RSC offers, shipped from RSC themselves. I even recall an instance last year of their being a confirmed sighting of one random store having a few RSC exclusives on their very own shelves. I believe at the time this board came to the conclusion that it had to of been because those figures were returned in store but were ordered online.!

I'm pretty sure mine won't get them in. If they do they will be easy to find because they will put it out in their random aisle. My K-Mart puts all the new ones in this aisle of overflow. This is because WWE Central is over flooded by Basic Dolph Zigglers, Evolution, Championship Bryan and Barrets, and Triple H/Bryan Battle Packs. I almost forgot about Bluetistas and Daniel Bryan Elites. And their prices always goes up making them impossible to sell.
