I am more disturbed that you people are opening cases yourselves than not finding any Peyton Royce figures.

Seems much easier to open it than to wait for or approach an employee lol. I never come across a case just sitting around at Target, but I’ve had employees open them in front of me or cut it open and hand it to me to look through. However I’ve opened plenty of cases at Walmart from finding them on pallets on the floor.

I see cases on the floor many times when they are breaking down a shipment, but I always ask if they wouldn’t mind opening it.

When they have cases on the floor to unload there is almost never any WWE despite the shelves being empty for long periods. Yet there is always several cases of Barbie product which I find ridiculous. There is no way these stores go through that much Barbie stuff.

Found everyone except Black and Royce. No way of knowing if she was there, but I would’ve assumed whoever grabbed Aleister would’ve grabbed those two as well. I grabbed Kairi and Bryan. They still had 2 HHH and another Bryan so Aleister Black still stupid hard to find...

2 HHH + 2 Bryan = no Peyton

I agree with this. Thanks to LK3 opening a case I have a Monsoon. If there’s an employee I ask but if there isn’t I’m not wasting an opportunity to find these figures especially the exclusives. If I open it I bring bit to the section and put the rest up. It’s free labor. Also it’s not like we’re kicking old ladies over in the process. Unless she’s holding a chase. Then all bets are off.

None of the local targets have gotten a case with the chase figure.Also only 1 local target got a Paige and Kassius Ohno. Targets distribution model is broken.

None of the targets around me got E71 cases with Ohno and Paige so I literally had no shot. These store exclusives are kinda hard to come by now.

I see mattel boxes every time but like you said it's always Barbie and also hot wheels for me Barbie and Hot Wheels are Mattel's top 2 brands. WWE might not even be in their top 5 brands/licenses. This is something it seems like this board will never comprehend. Mattel has five self-identified "Power Brands" (Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price, American Girl, and Thomas & Friends) that supersede everything else they do from a financial/earnings point of view. If one were to pull up Mattel's annual financial statements, they'd see a full break down of profit and loss for each of those five brands, each with their own subcategories. Everything else under Mattel's banner, WWE included, falls under the "Entertainment" catch-all category (which, for perspective, also includes such perceptive slam dunk earners such as Minecraft, Toy Story, games, and puzzles). Hot Wheels and Barbie each pull enough in a single fiscal year to warrant their share of Mattel's total revenue being explicitly stated on its annual reports. Comparatively, WWE is a drop in the bucket next to those two titans.
