People said they were street-dated for today, but my Target still didn't have them out. Are they supposed to be an endcap or something? Has anybody ever actually found them on a shelf somewhere or have you just had people fish them out of the back? I have been to Target so many times in the last couple weeks and it's driving me nuts. I don't know if Target sticks to a hard street date when it comes to toys. I think it's more about refilling the shelves when they get empty because there are too many times the Targets I visit do not restock the shelves with newer releases for a very long time, while other Targets start putting them out as soon as they get them.

I haven't updated this thread in a while. I've been posting my newest additions in another thread, but decided to revive this thread instead for just my collection.

Two complete sets per case. Have you seen elite 50 in the area? Haven't seen that anywhere yet. Just recently started seeing Series 47.

Shane looks great, I'll be ordering it once a few more pre-orders I want are up. Although, I would have preferred this version of Shane

Was it a case with 1 of each Elite, or more? The elite case holds 8, 2 of each figure. Great, thanks. I'm going to go to my local Target today to give it a shot.

No prob for me, the lady had a worker bring the case of elite to customer service for me & I even got to open the case. Got a full set no hassle at all. Was it a case with 1 of each Elite, or more?

Really? I've gone to Target a few times this week in Waco and never saw a change in stock on the floor. I had him pull the case from the back. Took a bit, but finally got em Damn, every time I ask to go check the back, they claim what they have on the floor is what they have. I'll try again later this week. Was a case just one of each of the 4 in the set, or more than 4?

I hate store exclusives. Walmart exclusives are hit or miss on whether or not my stores get them at all, Toys R Us gets them a lot later than other locations, then that's all the store has for months, Target, same as Walmart, may or may not get them, and I've never seen a Walgreens exclusive.

How about Cena from Royal Rumble 2017 with the WWE, or Roman in his WM33 gear?

Went to my local Target and found..... nothing. This is why I hate store exclusives, my city just sucks on getting the new stuff.

Display them MOC even though it takes up a ton of room. It sure does! I have over 50 MOC figures. They're stored away right now until I am able to make more room to display them properly.

I wonder if these will fit in RSC's DM Defender Cases.

I keep my figures MOC, get them signed, then display them MOC.

Not at all. I think sometimes Mattel is reaching with releasing a new Elite of someone on the current roster because their look hasn't changed much. If they're just going to give someone on the current roster a new shirt or a new accessory, does it really need its own release? I like seeing Flashbacks because it's likely a more unique figure I don't own in any way, i.e., Brutus Beefcake and Mankind, as opposed to seeing yet another similar looking Roman Reigns and John Cena taking up all the hooks at a store, not leaving room for more unique figures.

I wouldn't necessarily mind this. Sometimes there's too many Flashbacks in a new series release, which takes up slots for other newer figures that could have taken their places. At the same time, if this was done, it could slow down the amount of new releases of regular Elites, which could be looked at as good or bad depending on what kind of collector you are. If you collect a lot, this would help you financially. If you don't, then you could become impatient waiting on new releases. So you've got your pros and cons either way you go.

I am surprised we haven't gotten more Eddie Elites. After all, we got a bunch of Warriors!

Nice! Hopefully it will be a few dollars cheaper by a July 4th sale or somethin. I want it, but dont think its worth the exclusive tag If you really want it, I wouldn't risk hoping for it to be there when you're ready to buy it. I did the same thing with the Edge RSC Exclusive, and I waited about a day too late and I was never able to get it.
