WNY has yet to receive Elite 8. Based on the reports of others, it seems I am not alone. In fact, it seems that very few places have received Elite 8 as of yet. What the hell is the problem? This is mad. I found them in Cleveland over a month ago, and that was only at one single Walmart. In Toledo 2 weeks ago we found remnants at one single Walmart. So rather than asking who hasn't found Elite 8, I guess I should ask the lucky few who actually HAVE found Elite 8? Legends 5 hit here a couple of days ago, TLC hit a week ago, Basic 10 hit 2 weeks ago. I am starting to think Elite 8 is never going to hit over here. I know people who order online have a jump on the hunters, but this is ridiculous. Online orders came in 3 months ago. The fact that this is such a sought after series makes this all the more annoying.
I would just like to add, because people have mentioned this as a potential reason, I don't believe the shelf-clogging of Elite 7 has anything to do with it because many of my Walmarts have like 1 or 2 remaining.
So who actually has found them, and in what area do you live?

I'm in the same boat as you. I have not found Elite 8 anywhere despite my area being up to date pretty quickly. I don't know if it has to do with the overload of Elite 5 at one Wal-Mart and the overload of Elite 6 at the other one. Besides Elite 8, I haven't seen WMH2, Legends 4, PPV8, 2-packs 9, and EG3, despite the fact that they have been out for quite a long while. I hope to find this series soon as I really want Edge, Undertaker, Sheamus, and Regal.

I've only found a Regal so far so it means either some scalper bought the rest of the series or they decided to upload Regal sooner.

I live in the most southern tip of Ohio and check stores in Huntington, WV and Ashland, KY as well. All of the Walmarts that carry elites in this area got series 8 around a month ago. Most of them sell pretty quickly too. The only ones I still see occasionally are Undertaker and Regal.

I've seen Elite 8 at plenty of Walmarts in Norcal. They are selling much faster than Elite 7, Undertake and Bourne are warming up the pegs.

Well, of the 3 TRU, 5 Targets, 2 K-Marts and 6 WalMarts I hit in the NY/NJ area only 2 WalMarts have even had Series 7 yet. And that was only within the last month. And seeing they are released every other month and our area is one of the last to receive anything as it comes in at the CA ports and travels by train across country I suspect it'll be a while before Series 8 is in our area. Especially seeing most stores don't order new product until the old product hits a certain number. Then it usually takes about 2 or 3 weeks for the stores to get their order from the distribution centers.

I decided to grab Edge, Taker, Sheamus and McIntyre online when they showed up on Mattle's shop but I look for them regularly at Walmart and have still not seen them. I was actually going to get Regal and maybe even Bourne when I came across them but now I'm starting to feel thankful I did get them online.
I will say, Elite 7 flew off the shelves the first time around but it seems most of the stores have gotten re-stocks and now they are sort of sitting to some degree. I noticed the THD is peg warming post places still and DX Triple H doesn't seem to be moving too quickly. I thought we were going to see E8 quickly because E7 moved so fast but when E7 started showing up refreshed I started to get concerned for when E8 would arrive.

The gap between RSC and retail is too long. I'm looking forward to elite 9 and I know others on this board already have E9 and are waiting for E10.

My local Walmart in OK has had two shipments of Elite 8 about 2-3 weeks ago and that's the only time I've seen them. They sold pretty quick with only 3 Takers left.

We got them here in Illinois, but since I got them from Mattel shop, I never looked. You'll get them soon.

I know you asked for people who found them, but I wanted to contribute to the thread too! I got my Elite 8 from RSC and then got Regal from Mattelshop. Very pleased that I did since there's no sign of Elite 8 anywhere in the Long Island, NY area.
With these distribution woes and gas being as high as it is, ordering online is the only option for me. As someone said above, I'm one of those people has had Elite 9, and is currently looking forward to getting Elite 10 which hits early June.

Here in Cincinnati, I've only seen them at two Walmarts. The one by me had two takers, evan, regal, and a sheamus which I quickly picked up. Went there the next day and all where gone and have not restock since then. Matter in fact they have no elite figures what so ever. That was a 3 weeks ago.
Another Walmart about 12 mile away have 1 taker and 1 regal that have been sitting there for about 3 weeks.
The other Walmarts either just have David Hart Smith's, Series 7 John Cena's, or Series 7 Triple H's.
