Target has basically stopped carrying anything at all and the Walmarts are on Elite 43

The stores near me are still stuck on Elite 32/34/35/36/38/39. Mostly Elite 34&39 though. I have yet to see any set in the 40's at any store except for Gamestop.

I voted steady only due to FYE and GameStop (maybe Walgreens at times.). FYE and GameStop figures are usually at least $5 more than the other retailers, but they do seem to be pretty current with elites.
Traditional retail has of course been awful. Target, Walmart, Kmart, TRU, and Meijer have all been really bad in 2016.

The question wasn't where do you buy your figures. The question was what series are you stores up to. People here love to go off on one

Assorted Basic and Elites, there's no real rhyme or reason to it. They're normally in Target and TRU only. Sometimes Kmart.

I'm from the UK so we're blessed with Smyths which are always current. Before the shift in exchange rate I'd purchase my figures off Amazon US which was cheaper than UK retail even with shipping and import costs.

One Walmart recently had Elite 44 or whichever set that is with Samoa Joe and all that. The secret? Back when all the walmarts got the elite 39 shippers that caused the stores to shut down, this one skipped. They dodged a bullet. They still have a few elite 38 and 32 Daniel Bryan's, but no stinking Mizdow or Psyco Sid to be seen. It's rather beautiful to not see a trace of either in a store.

I wouldn't have hardly any figures if it wasn't for Amazon these past 2.5 years.

Well, a couple of us in Maryland just found E45 at our local Walmarts. I don't see that voting option.

I'll be honest, I'm surprised by the results. For all the e39 complaints on here ONLY 10 people picked that option? I found ONE case of e40 this year but just one so I still picked the just e39 option. Now are all these 'newer cases' just recentl or have people found the newer figs all year? And let'd say yo bough a nasty's or harts - did they come back into stock or did you buy the only ones? It's funny here as there's SO MANY e39's - like ALL OVER THE PROVINCE - that the one case of e40's just seemed SO ridiculous. ONE CASE for an entire city, ONE TIME in the year? How does a company expect to move merch that way? PLUS a big thing for us in canada is - aside from basics, wwe NEVER go on sale at WM here. TRU usually has 25% off every three months or so... I remember as a kid everytime you walked into a store there were toys there... There was always that over produced ONE GUY who didn't sell (super powers flash, secret wars kang, masters of the universe stinkor lol, etc) but nowadays...it's sets that sit there not just figs...or maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just the painkillers I'm on lol

This is literally how Frederick Maryland has stocked since Elite 40, to the best of my knowledge: We got E40 at 2 Walmarts, and maybe a total of 3 cases between them around the Easter. Then E41 showed up at TRU only, maybe 2 months later and they must've stocked 15cs of it since. Hell, I was there today and it looks like another case was just put out. Then Target and a Walmart got a couple cases of E42 back in August. Then that same Walmart put out 3 more cases of E40. Maybe 3 weeks ago that very Walmart put out a case of E43, and another less than a week ago. Now this morning I find E45. We've yet to see E44 or the Legends one-off. And yes, I remember flash, kang, stinkor and others. Didn't matter how few of them there were in a case, they just sat and sat until which ever store they were in dropped them to more than 59% off clearance.

The only New thing Target has gotten are the zombies and Dusty Rhodes ring. Wal-Mart got the zombies and TNF figs, but nothing else. Luckily I am in Southern California and within a 40 minute drive to The Wrestling Guy Store, I get most of my stuff from him. Or if he's out I'll go to Amazon.

My local Walmart has just had Elite 39 and like an Adam Rose and Faarooq from Elite 38 sitting on the shelves for a year now.
They just won't sell here in Canada. People are too cheap to buy them, and they are somewhat over priced, and there is just too many of them.

Mostly dry. There are still some E39 and TRU only keeps restocking the Funk/Balor/Lita/Ryback etc. wave. Nothing else as far as regular Elites. Seems easier to get the exclusive Elites than the regular ones. Also why did they stop putting the Elite series number on the boxes? That makes it easier to identify what you are looking for.
