Here is some info and some pics of my recent finds with legends 8 and more When legends 8 Eddie was found a few days ago I was on the hunt trying any way possible to find this set ( also have pre orders but don’t trust them ) checking locally with no luck, finding the person on Instagram who actually found the set checking his bio and realizing he is from el centro CA, called the target in el centro and what do you know they had Mr wonderful and jake the snake left, I live in Washington state and had no idea how to get these but continued to go along with the process, asking for a description of jake and what do you know CHASE! after talking to countless really rude employees telling me it’s impossible and there’s nothing they can do and also claiming these are street dated for nov 1st, I finally today got ahold of the store director and told him my situation, he took a gift card over the phone, only charged me for the figure itself and personally packed it up and took it to the post office and sent it free of charge, totally outside of targets guidelines, can’t believe there is still that nice of people out there, amazing. Checking pop finder after the above story and stock went up on legends dpci at a store about 45 minutes away, checked and had legends 8 but only 1x wonderful 1x warrior 1x jake and 2x Eddie, it’s possible that someone may have purchased a warrior before that but I highly doubt it, seems like that may be the case breakdown, didn’t have a problem with the street date issue here. Not to mention I also managed to snag a few undertaker collectors edition from Walmart, a UE cena from the Zon and a random E69 ciampa just sitting on the shelf at my local target, pretty excellent few days for figures, here is some pics, I’ll post some loose Eddie pics later.    |

Very cool pickups!
Maybe I missed it, but what exactly is your situation that would have someone go thru all that trouble (especially during current times) to mail you a toy?

I personally think he'll sell outright, but who knows really. With the previous set, it didn't help that two of the figures were packed 2 per case while only one was packed one per case and there were only 3 figures in set rather than 4. |

Just explained how we couldn’t find them here in Washington and some of the distribution issues, and he was kind enough to help me out, I was surprised as well |

I used to shop in that Target in El Centro, well at least before Covid happened and now I can't cross the border....uwu
They had really bad distribution problems, like, skipping from elite 66 to elite 72 type bad, so I'm really happy and surprised that they stepped their game up, even if I can't be there to take advantage of it.....

That’s awesome. I’m glad it paid off and you got what you wanted after a little extra work. I’m jealous that you have that Guerrero.
I use to work at Target a little over 10 years ago. A grandfather came into the store literally every day for a month straight looking for a Wii for his grandson. This is back when they first came out And almost impossible to find and maybe once every 2 weeks we’d get 4 or 5 total in. I remember one day I felt so bad I took his phone number and called him when a shipment arrived.

I love Eddie. But I remember when HOF 2 hit. He was a shelf warmer (no not like Tito!) but I don’t really think he’s an anchor figure
Even the one in white from HOC didn’t exactly fly off the shelves
Just realizing nearly all Elite Eddies have been Target exclusives Kind of odd

Is that dcpi number specific to series 8, or is it the same number used for the Legends line in general?
If it's specific, then both of my local targets have them, but they aren't on the pegs yet.
I checked both stores this morning, the first had 3 Heenan's, and the second didn't have any Legends on the shelves
However, popfindr showed 5 at one and 6 at the other, so maybe their in the back until Nov 1

Man, how bittersweet is this Warrior? Very excited to add this look/moment to my collection. I'm most looking forward to Jake though. I'm so happy they finally gave him a new Golden Era head sculpt, and the TrueFX just makes it next level.
But, I'm REALLY hoping to find the variant. That is my definitive Jake the Snake, not only because they nailed the likeness, but especially because the tights are the same design & color as the old Hasbro Jake! So beautiful nostalgia is guiding this purchase for sure.
I'm just praying that they are as plentiful as series 7 has been, around here at least.

I have Eddie ordered on the app and all I want is Warrior. Called my Target and they said to call back around late October and they should have the Legends.
