Welp...I'm an idiot who had the cut off time wrong. I thought for some reason in the back of my head it ran through today. I even set a bunch of alarms yesterday to remind myself to take care of it but wound up getting absolutely buried at work.
Blah.

I usually wait until the 3.0 cyber Monday sale. It's largely me getting characters I wouldn't have unless they were super cheap so if any of them sell out between now and then, it wasn't meant to be.

What are some older elites that are greatly improved by a simple gesturing hand swap and which hand(s)? Got to thinking on the subject by trying to figure out which character had the right skin tone to give Dillinger “10” hands.

I broke down and got a second about twenty minutes ago after backing it once the first day. If nothing else it'll give me choice of paint for each figure.
If the pace keeps as it has, we are ABSOLUTELY getting Doink before the Macho bonus runs out and I think we've got a genuinely good chance of unlocking the skirts too.
While I certainly wouldn't complain, it would surprise me if they added yet another tier unless it was something especially inexpensive like different colored ropes or yet more skirts. I can't see them tucking yet another figure into the price, as much as I'd love it.

So if E90 Big Bossman is indeed the chase as rumored, it pretty much HAS to be WCW's "The Boss" gimmick right? I can't think of any real costume variation he wore before his Attitude Era return and that would be a completely different sculpt (ditto Big Bubba Rogers and Guardian Angel). But "The Boss" you could do with that sculpt, black shirt and different tampo designs.

I’m wondering if the top picks Balor would work. I still see him at Target now and then and just realized he has them.

Anyone have any recommendations for a figure that has the splayed “You can’t see me” hands that matches Tye’s skin tone? I’m sure there are more but the only two that leap to my mind that have them are Rusev (who obviously wouldn’t match) and Cena (who I don’t have to compare).
Much thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Have they announced a Wargames Cole? Completing that look is a BIG want for me once they revealed it was Fish / O'Reilly's standard looks.

Yah, I don't see how they thought there was any chance WM6 would lose.
I voted for SummerSlam '89. I actually DO really want that Warrior (although a standard Elite would be fine) since we JUST got the Rude from that match. I'd rather not wait on it for years on end.

I've since found chase English in the wild at a Target and ordered a Hawkins off Amazon hoping to run into him at SDCC and get it signed and it wound up being the chase. I'll probably grab a chase Benjamin off eBay someday. I'm passing on both the Owens figure and the Hardy figure in general (although I MIGHT grab the Jeff if I happen to randomly come across it in a store).
King Mabel is actually the first one where I definitely want the chase MORE than than regular version, so I'm hoping I find him in store soon.
Looking into the future, I might buy him if I see him but I won't go out of my way to look for red Ali (I think the yellow is brighter and eye-pleasing). I WILL probably want the pink over the black Ziggler though.

Found one today in Burbank. Noticed an unopened case on the pallets or tomorrow and an employee was nice enough to open it for me. I didn’t even remember it was a thing. I was hoping to find chase Mabel.

FINALLY found one last night in Los Angeles county. Was waiting for one Target to locate a case in their offsite warehouse (which never materialized) and decided to kill time by hitting up one ten minutes away and found him. :-) This was after just missing him at four other locations.
So we get a break for the next series, right? Then Patterson, then Liv?

Popfindr still works using the 087-06-4395 DPCI but when they ring up they now do the same thing Walmart does and ring up by individual figure DPCI / codes. If you’re in a Target, just politely emphasize to an employee (if you’re asking them to check) that you’re looking for the general assortment / series, not the specific figure in hand. Their Zebra scanners can search for both. Walmart’s in store stock tracking system lacks this ability as far as I know (either that or that’s just what employees say). They can only search for the character specific skus.

Well, I’m definitely happy that turned out to not be not wholly accurate. I still very much wanted all of the wave so I’m stoked the other three will still be available!

I just missed him at a Target in Los Angeles this morning. Swung by to grab groceries around 10:00 AM and they had the rest of the wave on the pegs.
I’m a big fan of Sanity’s run in NXT AND him in general so I’m hoping to snag him without resorting to eBay.

I could have misunderstood him but it kind of sounded like he was told that Itami’s departure is what sunk the wave. I guess they literally could no longer release his figure and didn’t have another to move into the slot. Again, the conversation was brief and obviously second hand but that was my understanding of it?
Maybe Bill will clarify at some point.

I guess not completely confirmed until he announces something publicly but one of my best friends, Jeff (whom a bunch of you probably recognize as the guy who cuts...let’s call them “heel promos”...at WWE fan panels at SDCC and other things) is at Double or Nothing. He just ran into Bill and asked about the elite NXT Itami figure (which is a figure he’s literally been dying for since Itami arrived) and Bill told him it was indeed cancelled and that that whole wave probably won’t see release as it stood. I guess this was definitely a possibility but we weren’t really sure how far along into production it was. Anyhow, womp womp. Haven’t been as active on here lately so if this was already announced, apologies in advance. 5/26 UPDATE:New proto pics of Series 5 have emerged (click the spoiler tags below). According to Bill Miekina on Instagram, Hideo Itami is not coming out. As of now, the wave will consist of three figures including Andrade "Cien" Almas, Roderick Strong, and Titus O'Neil. Please disregard the statement at the top of this thread about the whole wave probably not seeing a release. That part isn't true. Andrade "Cien" AlmasRoderick StrongTitus O'Neil

Not seen a single chase yet. Fortunately none are desperate needs for me. I wouldn’t mind Gold Standard and combining the print Aiden scarf with the chase’s legs, but it’s not the end of the world if not. I’ve seen a good seven or eight different Benjamins too. I think three Hawkins and two English.
I’ve managed to find Backlund, Dunne and Sherri (each just once, all of which I’ve grabbed).

I can't find it via Google but I'm almost positive a sole Jakks Hurricane release slipped through with his Green Lantern tattoo.
