has anyone found 47.5 retail anywhere yet? I don't believe they've hit anywhere, which is amazing. |

Retail hasn't been consistent with Elites since 2015. Elite 39 dropped and flooded everywhere. Elite 40 was MIA Elite 41 flooded everywhere Elite 42 was pretty much only at FYE Elite 43 was pretty much at Gamestop Elite 44 was sprinkled Elite 45 was distributed pretty well Elite 46 was only at Target Elite 47a and 47b I have never seen Elite 48 I have now seen A LOT at Walmart That's even better than what I've seen lol: E39 turned into a mix of Wyatt Bryan, jyd, and Sid...flooded E40 MIA E41 MIA except at toys r us well after release E42 MIA E43 and lost legends only at fye until last month....flooded now E44 scattered btwn WalMart and TRU E45 sprinkled around WalMart E46 MIA E47 sparse even at WalMarts E47.5 MIA E48 shipper at WalMart finally lol |

Lmfao what a b*tch!!! If it was any other store I would think you made that story up, but since it's Walmart though, I totally believe you here. Yea, man. Walmart employees just don't give a damn.. hate when figures show up their first our they have a store exclusive. I've noticed that it'll be one store in some crapty area of town that gets the exclusive, while the rest of the walmarts in non crapty area look like a scene from a clint Eastwood cowboy movie. One of my Walmarts has nothing but a basic Ziggler and a TNF Cena/Austin 2 pack which haven't even been touched since they were first put out, and hasn't restocked since. Another is always full of new figures and restocks often, so I guess some places care and some don't. It varies by store I guess. |

Elite 44 and 45 I have seen at targets but i bought the ones i wanted months ago online. Elite Lost Legends i spotted at target but did not want anyone. Elite 46 has only been online and saw remnants at walgreens. Elite 47a and 47b are no where to be found, my only hope is toysrus which has sold down the elite 41 they got a ton of. Elite 48 showed up at walmarts, I only wanted the dean ambrose from that series which i bought. But i bought a bunch of basics from walmart from the basic 68b and basic 69 sets. I really don't see the point of the extra a and b cases in elites if they are continually poorly distributed. Its great for stores on west coast and independent stores that order direct from mattel but not so much for midwest people. |

If I see Elite 48 at a specific location, is it safe to say that Elite 47 is skipped and won't make an appearance at said location??

Don't give up hope yet. I saw Elite 45 at Walmart before Christmas last year and they had only received E43 a couple weeks prior. About a month later they put several cases of E44 out. I believe this E48 deal is a mailer special order that went ahead of regular distribution (or maybe that's where retail SHOULD be currently) and the warehouses could be sending stock of 47 and 47.5 at any time. Also, this is Walmart only. No other retail store has put out anything beyond 47. |

The way it goes now it seems that each elite series is mostly exclusive to one major retailer

Although there is the chance they get it eventually. Usually way too late. I see stuff like this all the time. Especially at Target, where a few weeks ago I was there looking for HOF 4. Then they suddenly have all of these Macho Kings, Jimmy Harts, and DiBiase from HOF2 prior. Then they had no elites FOREVER. Then all of the sudden they have this giant overabundance of E45/E46. Most likely because they weren't being stocked and then someone (most likely a manager) found all of them in the stock room and put out everything at the same time. |

Elite 47 is one of those series that is probably destined to turn up at Big Lots

Elite 39 is still on the pegs at most WalMarts near me
Elite 40 showed up at Big Lots
Elite 41 made a brief appearance at TRU
Elite 42-43 I never saw at retail (I don't check Gamestop and only go to TRU when I'm looking for Network Spotlight figures, though)
Elite 44 hit all the Targets and most some WalMarts around January
Elite 45 hit right before XMas at most WalMarts in large quantities (3-4 cases per store), some Targets got one case in around mid-Feb
Elite 46 never saw at retail
Elite 47a I found at one out of the way WalMart
Elite 47b never saw at retail (and also doesn't seem to have hit online anywhere other than RSC)
Elite 48 seems to hit all the WalMarts along with Wrestlemania Elites
It has seemed very hit or miss. I'm wondering if the 47a/b labeling may have impacted the way retailers ordered and they just looked at it as one wave not realizing it was two distinct sets of figures.

If I could put everything I've physically seen together it would go like this:
E39 (WalMart only...basically sid only)
E40 never
E41 (TRU only well after release with that shipper they got months ago)
E42 never
E43 FYE only
Lost legends (WalMart and target)
E44 (WalMart, target and TRU as of today)
E45 (WalMart and target briefly)
E46 never
E47/47.5 never
E48 (WalMart with the shipper)
The biggest warmers seem to be e39 Sid, lost legends magnum, e44 tugboat and macho

Haven't seen any Battle Packs after series 40, no Elites after 46, and no Basics after 68 and some of what I have seen has been not the full series like no Dana Brooke in 68.
Target - I did find Hall of Fame 4 which was nice, but all they seem to stock other than that is Tugboat and Big E for Elite and they have WrestleMania basics.
Toy's R Us - Mostly they are clogged with Network Spotlight Elites, WrestleMania Elites, WrestleMania Basics, and lots of Prime Time Players Battle Packs
Wal-Mart - Only Elites they have are the TNF Series 2 singles and a few basics. Never have seen any of the 3 packs. Saw only Roman and Cena Retro, but those are gone now. Battle Packs only Bushwhackers.
