Visited a Big W in country VIC and found Basic series 100 and a target in country vic and found a basic Charlotte - not one thing more

Billy Kay is with Elite Series 75, what series was Peyton Royce with?

Target Chadstone had the same Basic figures as Knox had, Series 97 Summerslam. They also had a Elite Series 65 Aiden English.

54 or 74? Any goldbergs left at either?

Now for the report from Melbourne City. Visited both Target and Big W in the City today.
First was Target, which had a grand total of 2 wrestling figures.
Then it was onto Big W, which had no wrestling figures.
Also went to Toyworld at the Docklands and there wasn't anything worth mentioning.

All the other states have had new wrestling figures in Target and Big W, as mentioned here. This page we have new Elites at Target Adelaide, Tea Tree Plaza and Sefton and Target in Brisbane. Someone mention that they saw new Elite figures at Big W at Southland. But I have been through three Big W's and four Target's and I have not seen any of the new Elite figures. Don't these stores get any new Elite figures.

74 sorry - unfortunately not, there was none at Tea Tree and i got the one from Sefton.

I remember back to when Elite Series 1 came out, they where available at Kmart and started at $8 each (it was an error in the production of the catalogue where they out the price of the Basics on the picture of Elites). But that was back when Kmart sold WWE. Big W being very hit and miss gives the customer to impression that they have not many figures, or when I get there none at all. Big W Doncaster had nothing when I was there, Big W Box Hill had about eight Elites from various series, up to Series 71. The city was disappointing yesterday with only two basic figures in the two stores in the city. 
The staff at Target and Big W are challenging as well. I asked a few times at Kmart when they had the Elite figures if they had this wrestler in the current series, and they got the figure from the back for me. With Target and Big W the staff say all that we have is on the shelf. With your comment that they only put out a couple of figures on the pegs at a time as well rather than full cases, the staff are not telling the truth. You can't blame the staff for not getting them, they are only doing what they are told. The company may state that you only put out enough figures to fill the pegs and don't get any figures out of the back as they are for restocking later. The problem is we are disappointed for not getting them and won't go back to them. 
With the information I had gathered over Christmas I was thinking Target was getting out of WWE figures and so was Big W. I won't be going into those stores looking for them. It was only looking at this forum page that I started looking again. I'm not going to buy a whole series of figures, I only want one or two in a series, then none in the next one. The problem was Elite 72 had two; Buddy Murphy and Becky Lynch. Now it looks like we won't be getting them. The other Elite series (73, 74 and 75) I don't see anyone I really want, I have Triple H, Daniel Byran and Elias, Finn Balor, AJ Styles and Goldberg, Seth Rollins, Jeff Hardy and Kalisto.

Sounds just as bad as when I visited the city in September. I did find elite Curt Hawkins though in that Big W which wasn't available here in the UK. And Top Picks elites in Toyworld.

If you haven't been there before I recommend Go Figure Collectables in Coburg North. A little more expensive but they have some cool older stuff too as well as recent figures.

It is tragic how many figures they have in store here. Some stores don't sell them because they don't sell or are left with Big Cass figures from 10 or so series back. I saw an Elite 74 AJ Styles at Target Camberwell on Monday, so I have seen the more recent series out there, I just haven't seen a store with there shelves stacked with them since I saw Target Chadstone have Elite Series 71 in December last year. Those Top Pick Elite figures are available at most Toyworlds, but are usually the figures I already have. I've got a Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins, I don't need anymore.

If we knew that they would be on the shelves on the 1st Monday of the month we would try to get in the store. But there is no timing for when they come out, they come out when they employee someone to put them out. If we ask if there is any out the back we are told no all we have is on the shelves. Then we come back a few days later and there is only one or two left of a new series, the ones that don't sell.

I have been out to Coburg North to Go Figure Collectables. I've been going to them when they were in Malvern and Armadale and even at the Chapel Street Bazzara. They try to get figures we don't get in Australia. A couple of years ago that included WWE Elite figures, but Big W and Target have those, if you can find them. They sell the Royal Rumble Elite Series and the Retrofest Series which you can't buy in Australia. They have also had the Ultimate Edition figures in as well. They may cost a bit more but it is usually stuff you can't get here. Always good to go out there, even with it being a bit of distance to go there. I also recommend to go out to Coburg North and see what they have at Go Figure Collectables.
