I don’t know why Mattel doesn’t put WWE sections in home improvement stores, as well. Ever drag your kid(s) to Lowe’s kicking and screaming? If they had a toy section there, it’s not as bad bringing kids.
I work at Lowes and I second this. It would making collecting easier for me.

Isn't really a way to prevent people stealing them when they're not actually doing it in stores. People buy the figure, swap the belt and return it. Just last week I saw a Walgreens Becky with the Smackdown Women's title swapped with a different belt.
A straight current nxt line would not work. Hell, I’ve been to a few targets loaded with only ember moon.
The 1 or 2 flashbacks are to keep the line alive
well how's that working out all I see is Rusev, Roman Reigns flashbacks clogging the shelves in my area and in some places you can still find Bailey and Askia.
Rollins sold well but Rusev and Reigns aren't. I've only seen Moon on shelves 3 times and Roode twice.
The main issue is NXT Figures don't do that well, guys like Owens, Joe, Asuka really didn't sell well in a lot of places at least in the UK and went down to £10-15 because a lot of people don't watch NXT so they don't know who they are but once they got a second figure or got onto the main roster there figures started selling really well
It's funny though because Bobby Roode and Ember Moon were the ones from NXT elite series 3 you couldn't find anywhere and still can't. Meanwhile the two guys from the set that were on the main roster at the time of release, Reigns and Rusev are clogging shelves at every Target I go to.

Wish I would have picked him up when he came out but I wasn't collecting at the time. Have him now though but he wasn't cheap and I still owe my friend the money for it.
I witnessed this today as well and that is why I was picking up whatever was on my want list or thinking of buying before the liquidation sale began, fullprice or not.
Agreed with you both. I hit one of them up today too and the line once again was around the building. Not even that crowded on Black Friday! Wooo 10%! That’s just taxes. 😒
I almost grabbed a few items just before they disappear but I thought to myself, “If I didn’t get it at full price, 10% off isn’t that much so I don’t need it now either.”
My buddy who is a manager told me that if they continue to clear out stores as much as they are at only 10%, they will keep it that way. Also, all fixtures, cases and shelves will be available as well. The only thing NOT available at all will be the giant Freddy Funko statue that some stores have displayed by the Pops. There was a sign reading that it was property of Funko and not TRU. Also, TRU isn’t even TRU anymore as they are now owned by a liquidation company.
So would they let me by the big cardboard box looking thing with the pictures of wrestlers on it that some of the stores have ontop of the end cap?

That's crazy. And this and the other topic with the Kane and Steph elites got me thinking of what could be hiding in stores. I'm at a Wal-Mart right now that is always off by 3 elites according to brickseek. What figures are they and where are they?

Your lucky. I was inspired by this to check 3 different TRU stores today and they hardly have anything. Last one I went to had an Elite Charlotte, 2 dolls and basic Spotlight figures.
