Jakks Mean Gene looks better tbh.. No way...if you want mean gene to look Andre in the hairline maybe...otherwise I'll stick to the more realistic scale... Just hoping these find a way to US...

I updated my post. Please just tag me if something needs to be added or changed as stuff continues to come out. Totally didn't realize this as I've never looked beyond the first post. I get Does it make sense for you to start a completely new one and let this fade?

So I actually was a Jakks guy and was so angry after investing not nearly as much as most into our collection but was stubborn. I actually didn't follow an online presence for figs so I just happened to see the switch in the store. I then grabbed all the Jakks that went on clearance as the switch took place. After a while I had cleared my local shelves and realized I wasn't getting anymore...
Then one day I came across The Miz/Morrison two pack and the 3 pack Legacy(Orton/Dibiase/Rhodes), there was some kind of sale and I had read that these were to scale figures so I snagged them. Only issue was I had so many Jakks that I had to sell and unload to justify switching. Then from the basics I realized I liked the elites after having 20+ basics and realized I was wasting money... Since then I only collect Elites/Females. That said it was hard to make the jump from $10 figs to $20 since I was getting less figs for the same price. However, this was in 2012 and I've been very happy with my choice and Mattel.
Really hoping Mattel doesn't ever move from their deal with WWE. I know the original deal is coming up soon so I would imagine we should be hearing of an extension shortly if they intend to. I mean with all the exclusive deals with TRU/Walmart/Target and future releases and the time in between them if they don't sign something soon they will be working on items that won't ever be produced and that would be a waste.

This was found in a huge batch of listings last July around the same time as San Diego Comic Con. The only one among those that hasn't been released is Yankem. The UPC was isolated from most everything else and it never seemed to fit in anywhere. If we don't hear anything about it by SDCC this year, I'd say just forget it and move on to the next obscure mid-'90s WWF gimmick. Mantaur anyone? I could see this maybe being a SDCC exclusive like they did with the figure last year. More a of a wrestle crap exclusive.

Been a good couple days. On my way through NJ from a Mother's Day thing with my wife and kids I happened to see a Target and run through real quick and came across HOF 3 and snagged Edge/King Booker. No Lawler but either way worked pretty sweet.

So I am from NY but on my way through the area I stopped at the Target Phillipsburg Power Center location and came across the HOF series and they still have everyone except Lawler. I snagged an Edge and Booker.

How's the market out there as of late? Distribution is killing me. Missed out on a number of figs the last 10 series b/c I can't find certain ones.
Damn DB figs all over and Tito killing me.

Thanks man! I troll every Monday and Thursday in Clifton Park. I hit up Walmart , Target and Toys R Us. I have a pretty good relationship with the store manager there. I also work in the Troy area and hit up the Hoosick Street Walmart. So if you are looking for something the same goes for you too let me know and I'll gladly help out Lol I want in on this action. Im always on the lookout in the queensbury/glens falls area Since most people have a Facebook page I just started a private group on Facebook called Capital District Figure Hunters. Figured it might help coordinate things for those that are local. If you want an invite hit me up. I haven't been on the board in forever, but having a page to connect on FB would be pretty helpful in sharing info on where we're hunting and what's in stock where. I just went on FB to look for the group, and maybe I'm thick, but I couldn't find it? Help? Thanks! Having a hard time adding anyone who isn't a personal friend Try searching it now I opened it up. Capital District Figure Hunters I could not find it Just tagged everyone in the post in hopes that it helps locate the Facebook group I started. Well that pushed a spam filer... I'll PM everyone.

Finally found Alexa at Washington Ave Walmart, 2 ajs and a bunch of stings with slammys also that I left. That's awesome. I ended up snagging her off of Amazon last week for $9.99 so just went with it. Looking forward to giving it to my daughter when she gets here.

I'm still looking for the Target HOF figures as well. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have much luck using the figure's DCPI to track down which figures are in which stores. But, silly question, does anyone know if there is an accurate wave-specific retail release date list? I've seen WWE Elite Series 45 out in stores, but I'm curious as to when 46 & 47 will hit the shelves. I lucked out by getting an Elite 46 Finn Balor & Elite 47 AJ Styles on Amazon a couple of weeks back for $19.99, but I'm dying to see the Harlem Heat, Tatanka, and Corporation-era Big Bossman figures in person. Right there withbyou Caveman. I will say from what I've been seeing Walmart skipped right to e48 so my guess is you won't find 45-47 are highly unlikely there. My guess is keep your eye on TRU and target and hope they have those sitting around and hit the stores sooner than later.
