I missed them by 15-30 minutes. I saw one of my three local stores received them last night so I went there this morning and gave the employee the DPCI number and as soon as I finished reading it off to him he asked this is a WWE figures item? I replied yes and he said I just missed them by 15-30 minutes as he is pulled it from the back for a lady who purchased the whole case. He described her and it sounded like it was the spam owner's mom who is always out buying for their store. Oh well, hopefully the other stores will get them tomorrow or Friday. Hey man I'm going to Target later if you want me to check for you? Thanks. But I will find them soon enough.

I MIGHT pick up Warrior & Papa, but I'm not sure I need either one to be honest.
The only concern I have is that Mattel might be making the same mistake... twice. When they first started with the two packs their initial outing was very lackluster. Bushwhackers, Sheik/Volkoff, & Orton were not the big names to start a major line. Especially at 35 dollars a set.
Years later and we FINALLY get another shot at the Elite two packs and they start off with the Wild Samoans & a set consisting of a repaint & a reissue. I pray I'm wrong and that these sell so the line continues. I just think a few other packs would have helped get this line the kick-start it needs.

It looks like what you were typing got edited out. Are you referring to a site with the word Wiz in it? If so, that place is such a joke. I went on there to check on some figures I need and was taken back by how bad some of their prices are. It's like they're content to wait out more reasonably priced sites and look to be the last man standing for some of their stock.

Mattel should have done the Legion of Doom, or Hart Foundation, or some notable tag team here. This would have even been a better spot for the Ultimate Maniacs.

The lawsuit and HoF namesake really limit who Mattel can realistically place in this line right now.
That said, I'm surprised to see so many dismissive comments about Shango. Wasn't he one of the figures many people were constantly saying needed to be reissued?

Such a subtle difference, yet it takes the figure to another level. Good job, as usual. Brings back memories of being scared of this guy as a kid.

Warrior looks great cept the head looks a little meh. Anyone have the Target number for this to check in stock? Just add your zip code brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/?sku=087-06-6565It jumped from 10 to 20 percent of stores in-stock since yesterday, so they should be all over soon. I appreciate the tip. I use brickseek...thats why I wanted the DCPI number. LOL! Now its at 25%...so its definitely moving up. Nothing near me though.

There's also a good chance you were lied to my friend. This inventory tracker has been proven correctly More often than not. The problem is that they usually aren't on the shelves yet..., and there are some people who work there that will "check the back" for you but really just twiddle their thumbs and not try at all. And they'll simply say they don't have any. Sometimes is all about who you talk to in the store. What I usually do is I put the item number in one of the price checker/scanners that are in the stores myself. And it'll tell you whether they have some or not. If an employee tells you different, show them the scanner. Yeah, you can trust the tracker more than you can trust an employee. I was in Columbus, OH a couple years ago at the first NXT show outside of FL and stopped at Target. Tracker showed they had HOF1. I asked someone and he went to the back and got a couple boxes. I got Slaughter and Warrior and he stocked what he could of the rest but there wasn't enough room on the pegs for everything so he took the rest to the back. I let a friend know and he didn't respond until after I left the store. I went back to get Slaughter and Trish for him. Trish wasn't on the shelf but I knew she was in one of the boxes he returned to the back. The person who originally helped me wasn't around so I asked some girl. She said if its not on the shelf then they don't have it. Told her I know they have it and that I was just in the store 5 minutes earlier and someone took them to the back. She did not want to go back and look. She reluctantly did and came back a few seconds later and said they don't have it. I didn't want to fight with her so I just went looking for the first guy, found him, and he went and grabbed Trish for me. You guys were right! I found a dude who was nice enough to look in the back after about 5 minutes of standing and staring at the pegs where the obviously weren't. He came back out with a full case. I grabbed one of each. He put the rest on the shelf below the pegs. So the tracker is all good. I was a bit too hasty in my assessment.

Just purchased both sets at my local Target in Exton PA. The two workers were awesome! They went in the back stockroom & came out with a set for me. Very happy to get these figures. Thanks target workers. Great job!!!😉

That Warrior is really good, but I have enough Warriors already, and he isn't even a guy I would want more than one of. Shango I already have. I want the Samoans, so I'll likely acquire them somehow. I hate the height issue and Samoan spike hands, but they're still better than Jakks' first set of repainted Yokozunas. The 3 pack with Lou was good though.

I paid $35 a piece for those not even two weeks ago. They had to bring them out from the back.
