As I continue my exclusive quest to find a Hollywood Hulk Hogan in the wild I had an unfortunate experience. I was at a near by Target when I saw one of their workers putting out merchandise in the toy dept. I took a chance and asked the guy if the Mattel boxes on his cart had any Ultimate Hollywood Hogan figures. The guy turned around and said " look, I'm tired of hearing about this Hollywood Hogan toy, if it's not on the shelf we don't have it". I was stunned at his rude response but having worked retail myself in the past just chalked it up to him having a bad day. Anywho, any of you guys had similar experiences asking retail employees about their stock?
Even though I am the greatest ever designer of Japanese women pro wrestling figures, I can occasionally do good work on non-Japanese women pro wrestling figures as well

No, last time was mid to late February. I saw Hogan twice and Fiend only three or four times. On the plus side, Edge and Savage will likely be hitting any day now.
Every Target in my area (5-6) got 2 cases and that was it. Hogan’s were all gone within a day or two. Fiends hung around for a bit, but not too long. I don’t really care about Ultimate 8, so I haven’t checked, but I’ve been to Target every day for the last 6 weeks looking for Legends 9 and 10, and haven’t seen them. I remember Amazon had 7 on pre-orders for a while before they showed up at retail. If people are already getting theirs from Amazon, then I would assume Target won’t get any.
online/internet stores are always way ahead of retail. id expect macho/edge in target pretty soon since they just started hitting online. its always like a few months difference.
Saw 1 Fiend, before that last I saw was Balor. The 1st 2 waves seemed to roll out pretty well, after that they became rare, atleast in my neck of the woods
