I remember when these hit retail at my local Smyths and deciding to wait about a month to see if they would drop in price because most elites do in Smyths, but I went back about a month later to check and they were sold out not only at my local Smyths but two other Smyths stores nearby as well. Ive been collecting WWE elites since about series 12 and always at retail and never have I seen two figures disappear so fast from shelves! Were Enzo and Cass packed like 2 per case or something, its just very unusual for figures in my area to sell like that so fast without dropping in price/going on sale.

Did they? They were usually the last along with Crews at my stores. And that is in Enzo's backyard. (Hackensack is maybe 30 minutes away) I am pretty sure there's still an Enzo and two Cass figures at one of my area Walgreens. At least there was when I was there two weeks ago.

I haven't seen either but that's because the 3 stores in my town didn't get the series.

And that is why Enzo and Cass shouldn't have split. They were big, big money that Vince flushed down the toliet.

Hopefully Big Cass gets another Elite soon that has more realistic body parts. He needs the DM Macho Man thighs. He has ZERO muscle definition in his legs.

The OP is just not right on any level.
Big Cass is still in stock in many stores, you can see that online. There are 6 in one store. #Hotcake
The last few are the most understocked series' I've seen in Smyths from every series ever made. (No thanks to the people that are waiting for price drops)
Layla Series 8, Eve Marie 1, Emma 1, Diesel, AJ Styles first Elite, Miss Elizabeth, Yokozuna, Red jacket Jo mo Variant, Big Show 10, Finn 41, and Sami Zayn 40, all said Hi.... :-)
Enzo, was very obviously going to be the figure to buy in this set. It's a great figure, it's 1 er box, and everybody openly said they wanted it.
Waiting for figs to drop to save a 10 is fine. But when you need to pay 30-35 to buy the figure you badly wanted, you realise that you need to save 3 times to make it worthwhile.
I'm looking forward to the moans that Smyths aren't stocking enough the next time there is a hot figure.

With all due respect Mr Gunn, I knew not to wait for discount on these two. Harlem Heat, Brian Pillman, Tugboat - Yes, wait for discount. Elite Enzo, Cass - run wont walk lol

Beefcake and Cass have sat for weeks around me from that wave. Enzo I'd agree with in terms of what I'm seeing at local retail. Neither are selling THAT hot when you can get them both on Amazon for retail price, still.

I saw Cass a few times. I eventually got one.
Enzo on the other hand was gone as soon as he was unpacked.

I'll be the first to admit I wasn't going to buy either figure. The BP basics were good enough for the completist in me. Then I saw Elite Enzo and went "WOW". Once I decided to buy Enzo, it became necessary to buy Cass too because one without the other seemed ridiculous (apparently Vince doesn't agree).
Bottom line, if these are flying off the shelves I'm going to give Mattel credit for making such a kick ass Enzo figure.
