Or at least I think it's weird.
So, since the TNF Elites were announced I figured since there hasn't been much to get in retail as of late that I would grab the entire set. I have The Rock, Bam Bam, and Rusev so far. But Breeze has eluded me. I generally hit up 3 WM's in the area and I've seen all three that I have in each of them. Haven't seen the Breeze figure in person YET. Now, this past weekend I hit up a WM that I never go to and they had the MOTHER LOAD of the TNF figures. About 10 Rock's, a Bam Bam, and about 5 Rusev's. Not a single Breeze though. WTF?! Apparently this is just in my area too as I've been seeing others from around the country find them with relative ease. Anyone else having the same experience as me with these?

My 3 closet wal-marts in PA. all have the complete set of 4. However it does seem like Breeze moves faster than the others. Bam Bam was moving fast as well but that seemed to stop.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I visit maybe ten different Walmarts because everywhere in CT is within an hour of driving distance and we'll go 45 minutes to a Walmart but also a nearby mall and what not else. I've seen Rusev and The Rock with missing accessories at my closest Walmart and otherwise I've only seen Rusev and one Bam Bam... Aside from the time I opened a complete case at a Walmart and bought Tyler Breeze. I've been back to that Walmart as well and they don't have any left from what I can tell, so I feel like these figures are moving pretty fast in general but especially Tyler Breeze is hard to find.

I have 4 WMs around my general area, my local one got the TNF figures in only once so far (the initial shipment), I bought one of the Breezes, someone else bought the other. However, at the others, one or both Breezes are still there.
Seems like, unfortunately, you have a scalper in your area. Someone is buying them for $20 and charging upwards of $40 for them, despite the sets being WM Exclusives, and WMs having the ability to get the set in as many times as they need to refill the pegs. Same thing with E41 Balor, for months I couldn't find it anywhere, so I gave in and paid $35 for it off eBay. Last Thursday, I walked into my local TRU & there were 2 E41 Balors just sitting on the shelves. Now people are finding E41 Balors at Big Lots for $10 each. E41 Balor is still being sold for upwards of $40 on eBay, though. People are buying them for as low as $10, but selling them for for $45-$50 online.
I'm sure you'll find a Breeze one day, as I said, WMs have the ability to restock them until the pegs are full, so you'll eventually find it. I'd hit them up early in the morning (around 8 a.m. or so), as it's true that the early bird gets the worm. If you can figure out the day that the WMs generally get in figures, and get to the store early the next morning, you can beat the scalper to the Breeze. If not, I'm sure the price online will eventually drop when people realize the wide availability of these figures across the country and stop payin $35 or $40 for them.

Breeze seems to be the most popular in my area as well, though I did go to my honey hole Walmart this past week and they had 3 Breeze and 4-5 of everyone else.

Nope, there are usually more Breeze figures than the rest at my Walmart. I'm sure he'll pop up soon...maybe a scalper in your area picking him up because it's his 1st elite?

I don't go hunting at stores anymore, and I found him no problem at a store that typically doesn't have much, ever.

I have seen him quite a bit times between when we were down in DC and at my local stores here in NY. I only picked up Bam Bam though as he was the only one I wanted.

I didn't even think of the scalper thing, but you guys are probably right there. I'm pretty diligent about my hunting, so I'd be surprised if this scalper has beaten me to them, but you're probably right. I'll keep on it though, thanks for the input. You know, I had a trip last week where I found a bunch of boxes on a pallet at a WM, so I think I figured out the day they do this. It was awesome too as I had my pick of all kinds of stuff that were actual wants. I had the Owens and Joe already but I was able to grab a Kofi and a Hart Foundation, as well as a Baron Corbin Basic and a Heyman Basic (which I wanted, because they're going for WAY too much online). But no TNF Elites. This is starting to become a thing with me so I'm determined to get a damn Breeze! |

Rusev is moving fastest in my area, Rock is 2nd, Breeze and Bigelow are tied for 3rd. Kinda thought it'd be the opposite.

That's weird because my WalMart only had Breeze. They had one lol. I snatched him up. But there was no sign of any other TNF figures. Just one lonely Breeze.
I stopped by again about a week ago. They had Rusev but no other ones. Just one Rusev lol. It's like they have an entire box in the back and they're setting one out at a time lol.

Because everybody realized almost all the Bam Bam's are painted wrong I been to 15 Walmarts in my area and outside of a few with black spots on their noses and chipped paint on the torsos, they been good. I think this more of people knowing that Flashbacks tend to stick around on shelves. So Bam Bam will still be there months later. What this is Tyler's elite figure deemed highly valuable just like how Xavier Woods is and hard to find in stores but going for double or more the actual price online. |

I've seen more than enough of Breeze. Rock sells the fastest here.
