I ordered him off ringside back in december. But since then I have only seen him twice once at walmart and once at gamestop and they did not last at all. All of elite 40 flew here. Esp Zayn, Cena, and Kidd.

Found one at retail last week. The whole back of the package was crushed so it wasn't really worth picking up.

I'm not normally the type to call a store or ask an employee to see if they have a certain figure in the back, but I called a GameStop yesterday to see if they had him and to my surprise, they did. The paint on his beard was a little messed up, but I wasn't going to pass it up. It's surprising because this store is right next door to a Toys R Us and Target which gets hit hard by scalpers often.

I've yet to see Sami in the Elite 40 batches I've found at my local Wal-Mart (two locations) and Target. I've been checking at least every other week for a few months now and I've got squat. I was surprised to see how expensive the figure is online only a few days ago... I got paid and felt like finally securing a Sami (which I've been eyeing since Xmas lol). RSC was sold out, so I went to Amazon. Nope; had, like, one listing at 60 bucks or something. eBay was worse. I don't mind paying upwards of $50 for a figure, but it's gotta be legit hard to find and out of production.
I feel like Samoa Joe is going to be the same way. I hesitated last paycheck to grab him on RSC, then a few hours later, he was on backorder until July haha. I've also yet to find Balor at all anywhere.
So, the lesson here is pre-order the internet darling figures. I know when AJ Styles, Aries, Nakamura, Karl Anderson/Luke Gallows and Sasha Banks finally get Elites and Balor has a non-demon elite, I'm just pre-ordering blind lol. It'd take at least 5-6 months after Ringside gets something for me to even see a trickle of the set in my area.

I hadn't seen one anywhere in Chicago and I caught the entire series by going to Walgreens. Saw everyone but Sami until today at target. Found what looked like a fresh cash of E40 and grabbed him and the Cena for the US Title with the cartwheel coupon for $22 total!

I'm totally going there tomorrow. Maybe mine doesn't though.

I dunno if you're being sarcastic but as far as Chicago goes, until Today it was the only place i saw e40 and the first place I've seen e41 and e42. Not all of them carry wwe but I've found a few that are surprisingly well stocked

I saw e40 one time. And that was without umaga. I passed on zayn thinking I would find him again but I have literally not seen any other place stock them. Wal-Mart is still stocking e39 and TRU went straight to e41.

Never saw him at stores in my area. Refused to pay those ridiculous prices. Found him today at Shop Mattel for 19.99. Bought him Cena, basic Kalisto and Rene Young. Best part is I got free shipping. I just kept checking the site. That's what I did with the DC Multiverse Flash.
