Just wondering what sets everyone else has had a hard time finding in stores. Me personally, I have NEVER seen a single figure from basic series 4 at retail. That was a set that I really wanted to find, being that there were a couple first time releases that I wanted. I ended up trading for them. I've also only seen Legends series 2 once at retail. No suprise though, all the stores in my area are overflowing with Legends series 1 still.
How about you guys?

only problem I have is it takes a while for new sets to hit, after that it is really easy to find what you want.

I've never had much of a problem finding anything, other than the stuff that hasn't been released to the UK (like Entrance Greats -- doesn't seem possible for me to get Jericho, DiBiase or Undertaker now without paying stupid money on ebay). I've never had any luck finding that black tights/red boots Edge that came in the belt pack with Cena, that wasn't released here either (because of the DVD I guess) and nor was the Rock/Austin pack. That Edge and that Rock are two of my most wanted figures.
Of stuff that was released here, series 1 was pretty difficult I suppose. I never had trouble because I was out hitting stores as soon as the figures hit, and actually for a few weeks before that... I was out every day over the holidays looking, but the figures didn't come here until mid-late Jan. So I found the stuff I wanted from series 1, but it seemed like a lot of places sold them all pretty quick, or didn't get them at all. There were millions of WrestleMania Heritage figures here. Toys R Us just put thousands of WMH figures back on the shelves, too. Series 2 was the first series here that everyone seemed to be able to find easily. Then series 1 did come out again after that.
I never saw basic 4 and two-packs 4 all that much here, but I have seen them.

Basic 2 Punk and Mysterio are probably the figures I've seen most in stores, other than WMH.

We never got any of basic 3 anywhere around here at all. Didn't get an Orton until like a month and a half ago lol. Besides that I don't think I've had any trouble finding anything. Elite 2 was gone pretty fast though but I didn't collect them at the time.

Legends 3 Rock is very hard to find, there have been STACKS of L3 on the shelf with a single rock there. Very hard to track down. Initially i really struggled with e4 kane, i tried maybe 10 stores and only one was found just after they were put out, didnt see another one in the store for several WEEKS.
Everything else hasnt been too hard to find. Although some figs i wouldnt call common sightings like E1 rey.

I have never come across Elite 6 or Legends 3. Legends 3 doesn't shock me because most store near me are flooded with L1 & L2. But Elite 6?!
I wanna get my hands on Goldust, but I can't seem to find that set anywhere.

it depends on the stores inventory My local TRU skipped Elimination Chamber, basic 4, Elite 4 and Elite 5. nothing has been that hard to find yet as my mart, Khols and Target keep up with the newer sets. Every so often when I take a trip to walmart I find a few other figures. When Legends 3 hits all I have to look for is the Rock. The only figure that I missed a few times was Legends Jake from Kmarts first 3 cases but got it another store a few weeks later.

Never had a problem finding anything in stores. Only two things I never saw were the Wal-Mart belt set which they had but sold out very quickly and the M$M EG. I saw a Rock EG last week but passed on it so I know they are trickling into the marketplace here as well.

Series 6 Kelly Kelly has really been the only figure I've had any trouble finding.

I have found everything pretty easy, but still havent seen Basic 2 pack series 6 with Ezekiel Jackson. I have even found the set after that with Punk and gallows already, but still no Zeke or any of that set to be found.

I have only found Basic Series 5 twice with only Melina, Hurricane, & Knox being there once and Entrance Greats 2 Jericho has never been released around probably due to Entrance Greats 1 HHH warming the shelves in mass everywhere.

The hardest set for me to find has been Legend 3. I have been to several different stores.
I went to tru last week and diden't see any of legend 3 so i asked an employee if he could check in the back.He told me i had to go to the front desk and ask because he was helping someone eles.
The lady at the front desk said "We have a case in the back" and told one of the other employees to go get it.About 20 mins later the employee came back and said "There is no case in the back". The lady at the front desk said "oh well" and left me standing at the counter.

Basic Series 6. I saw a case of it two months ago at KMart...I just picked up the Miz then. And since then I've only seen a McIntyre and 2 Edge figures at my local grocery store this weekend.

I never found EG2 and PPV3. My area seemed to have skipped them for some reason. Up until a few days ago, I also never found Legends 2, but thanks to a TRU Express, I finally got my hands on them. So far, I have also not seen 2-packs series 6 despite seeing Basic 6 several times and Elite 6 last night.
