Well I ended up going to the Walmart closer to my house just now and thought I would give it a shot. they didn't have the new elite series but I was able to get the TNF figures for that price of $6.97. Hopefully later this week they will get the new elite series in and I can get them for that price Wrong or right grab the ones from the one that will match for 6.97 regardless of who it is maybe it's Daniel Bryan then take that Daniel Bryan to Walmart that has new series and exchange it. If they are too stupid to price match because he picture isn't the same but the sku is the same it's on them.

TheNinthCloud and anyone else interested: Type into ebay: elastic cord, 3mm. You will get this: Buy the 5M (5 metres) one, which is enough for a elite scale ring. Get this: $1.49. Yes $1.49. And don't worry about the quality, these are EXACTLY what official ring ropes are made from for figure rings. No 2 different materials. The EXACT SAME PRODUCT. I've been doing this for years. And there are many more colours available than just the standard ones you can get from RSC. This post may get deleted because it's denying them money, but hope people get a chance to see it. Hope it helps! Is this rope stronger than the stuff that comes with the ring? I'm looking for something a little more taut.

Here is my Target. Who has a Target in their area that looks like this (at least the empty peg part for regular Elites and basics?) Looks just like mine in ny

Oh darn. I'll have to check them out but not sure it's worth the hike right now since that was prior to the weekend and I am sure most got snagged up.

Is target no longer carrying Standard Elite Series? I only see HOF series and those are Titos. I saw DDP and Bo Dallas but they were marked down to under $5 the other day so I snagged some extras.

So after not hunting in a while I went out and up 87 during the day, hitting up Gamestops, Walmarts, Targets and TRU throughout.
Found 1 Bayley in CP and snagged that and a Bossman for the Gamestop $6.97 price match.
Targets are all bare but I did see at the one in Wilton last week a DDP and Bo Dallas 4.96 each elites. Which I snagged. Only other WWE figured I saw at target were the zombie stuff and a few HOF series ones. Is Target all done with WWE not exclusive to Target?
Walmart seemed to have their TNF series and Daniel Bryan figs. Some Warrior DM ones too. Very limited selections.
TRU did have the e41 series minus Finn at both CP and Colonie locations. They have a special box in the middle of the isle for those.

Any luck finding the big lots $10 deal on elites? The one in Rensellaer had a whole set, I grabbed a Finn for a friend and left the rest. Lita had really screwed up eye brows Oh crap, how long ago? Were there any Finn's left?

Checked Walmart on Washington Ave and they had E43 stocked. Picked up an extra Owens and Joe. Almost stopped there today, but passed. I am still looking for basic 62 to hit Anyone know if they have any more. I'm looking for those two myself.

Latham Walmart has TNF Elites in stock. Just picked up a Bam Bam. Grabbed a Tyler in Hudson Sunday. Any sign of Basic 62 anywhere? What does the TNF stand for? Also I found some elite 40s down in Walmart on western ave in Albany.

^ I've been getting most of my figures off amazon lately. Same here. It's easier than driving around for nothing. Money has been tight and I've not seen much. Very much in need of the last few series but nothing around here at target, Walmart or TRU. Disappointing really with some of the recent sales.

Does anyone have any head suggestions (that doesn't require modding) and possibly a recipe for this guy?
I've always felt Mason Ryan headscan from Battle pack 14 against Orton was a good one.

How much are the 4-packs in store currently? The Tracker says $19.99 at all the locations around me. Mine are coming up as 49.99 again now...

I jumped on Jakks at the end of the train and hated the generic body types that looked way to big. I tried to fight switching to Mattel though b/c I didn't want to buy everything all over again. After the first year or so I started grabbing up basic 2 packs and basics until I realized that basics sucked for what I wanted due to limited articulation. Since jumping on the elite train about 3 years I haven't looked back and between both my sons and I, we have about 120 elites and bunch of basics with nothing for them to do. I am not sure how I would handle a switch from Mattel. To be honest though there is only one company I could see taking over production for the action figures at this time and it wouldn't be any of the high end companies previously mentioned because that isn't the target demo of this product. It would be Hasbro. Their Marvel Legends are a good line with a lot of solid scale renditions of figures and have majority of the same articulation.
All that said though, I hope Mattel keeps hammering away for years, and years, and years to come.
