I found the whole set this morning in west ky. We NEVER get anything fast so this was a pleasant surprise. However there was only one of each in the case. So if they made it here they should be about everywhere.

That is strange! Perhaps there is a new, revision case for the TNF Series 2 Elite set? If so, this would seemingly be a weird decision after all of this time that has passed by since those figures originally hit retail shelves. After all, plenty of peeps are essentially expecting TNF 3 any day now at their respective locales, and are already on the hunt for them. This apparently includes yourself, as well. Quite frankly, I feel that is an awful choice to suddenly release Series 2 in cases of eight, unless it assists some well-deserving ladies & gents still in need. Surely, something that factors into my belief is the arguably better and certainly more color coordinated E 51 Sami Zayn release to not only rival the TNF 2 "Zayniacs", but also that collectors are probably privy to, generally speaking. Then, one must take into account that Earthquake & Typhoon tend to warm shelves. The latter issue has been compounded by way too much theft of tag team title belts, which is downright disgusting. Natural Disasters are served no due justice by typically lasting longer in stores than Savage & Sami, since they are tremendous & contain decent deco, similar to scenarios involving the likes of JYD, Tito, et al. Such a shame for Uncle Fred, too, as of course his representation is a FTITL figure of Typhoon! Granted, all of this is merely based upon what I have seen in several states, plus noticing posts from folks referencing precisely the same scenarios elsewhere. Anyhow, just for clarification, I did not intend to come off as either disputing what you found or denying/doubting you. I was simply attempting to point out that at least the first few runs or so of said series came in cases of four, at one character per box. In fact, I remember being taken aback by the news when fellow figure hunters and collectors alike began to report the factual information, before eventually stumbling upon multitudes of fresh cases for my own eyes to bear witness! For whatever reason, Mattel obviously initially changed their usual formula for shipping Elite assortments of eight pieces, albeit clearly I was never sure why they did so when sending out TNF 2 sets. Nor was I pleased about it, by the way, specifically regarding Macho Madness '99 being a tough find for a slight bit of time that brought about both anxiously awaited and shamefully impatient anticipation! What the hell is this Well, that would be two whole "paragraphs"—not by true definition of 3-7 sentences, but by how I chose to break up my post—discussing the count of the TNF 2 Elites assortment. Also, the person was quoted, so no one else should be bothered by it, especially since it was directed solely at that poster. Said person had claimed that Mattel ONLY makes Elite assortments of eight per case, and that used to be the case (no pun intended). However, nowadays, that is an ill-informed falsity. Those kinds of things can lead to others (e.g. newer members) taking something like that at face value and running with it, hence all the repetitive posts in reference to things that are considered common knowledge upon this forum. Thus, I was simply pointing out that it is indeed proven time and again via personal (and plenty others') accounts that TNF 2 Elites were shipped in assortments of only four per case, at one character per box, and multiple times to multitudes of Walmart stores, at that. He obviously was unaware of that fact, so I was attempting to assist. Meanwhile, I was not discrediting his latest finding by any means. After all, perhaps there IS a revision case of TNF 2. Hopefully, that about sums it up for anyone who wants to know (or pretends to care) for whatever reason. Posting certainly does not hurt anyone, nor does reading if one chooses to do so. Furthermore, I joked with you the other day, which you seemed to enjoy. So I dunno why you would feel the need to "fire shots" by calling me out approximately less than a week later. I am not going to assume you were offended by my lighthearted kidding around, but perhaps you were? Regardless, I still find "What the hell is this" from your end to be much more unnecessary than the original, long-winded post on my part. Nevertheless, I have now answered your question. It is up to you if you wish to read it, but I believe I am justified in defending myself against obvious ridicule from a select few on here. One person I am ignoring, because he is redundant and not clever anyways, plus that poster appears to be troll-like in general. As for you, I always liked hearing your assessments whenever you chime in, which is why I am specifically addressing you, Purple Reigns . In other words, I do not want there to be issues beginning between us. Maybe I am sensitive to ribbing?
