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. Big W is very hit and miss - seen bits and pieces of E71/73/74 at Southland, Box Hill and Doncaster. They seem to only put out a couple of figures on the pegs at a time as well rather than full cases which makes it even more challenging for the collector. And then there are many Big W's who don't even have any Elites or a spot for them in the planogram. Frankston and Geelong Target have E74. However, they are only getting the standard cases with no Anvil chases. Report from Big W Box Hill today - a mixed bag of Elites. There was an Elite 71 Nikki Bella, Elite 65 Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax, Elite 64 Samoa Joe and a Elite 59 Kurt Angle. A wide variety of Elites from different series, and most of them were not out on the shelves when I went there last time. They did have a full selection of Basic 100 figures. Only Elite 71s I have seen at Big W Box Hill have been the Drew McIntyre which I purchased late last month and Nikki Bella today. The only figure for Elite 74 I have seen was AJ Styles at Target Camberwell. They don't have any of the new Elite figures were I shop regularly. |

Went looking for Transformers Siege figures (yes I have switched my collecting again lol) at Browns Plains Target and happened upon a E74 Anvil. Also had a Finn Balor. But that's about all the WWE figures I have seen in my area though.

Went to Knox City today. They have plenty of Basic Series 97 - Summerslam figures at Target, except for Bret Hart. No sign of any Elite figures at this store or at any other store in the centre. Better than what Target at Chadstone had, not a wrestling figure in store.
Don't they like Victorian stores. All the other states are getting figures. We don't get any here and they did not release the series with the Victorian in the series, from Berwick Buddy Murphy.

It seems a bit selective now to be fair. |

It seems a bit selective now to be fair. I am just reporting how my figure finding is going. When you hear Browns Plains Target had Elite 74 Jim Neinhart and Finn Balor, and full case of Elite 74 hit Brisbane CBD Target today, it makes you ask, where are they in my nearest store. Your in Queensland and you say "Plenty of qld stores haven’t had a new figure in 6 months or more" and the Brisbane CBD Target has a full case of Elite 74 come on to the shelves recently, it is time to say something. I look at the Target and Big W stores near me and they haven't given me any new figures recently. Target Chadstone had a full case of Elite 71 on the shelves in early December and they sold out before Christmas. Other Target stores are receiving figures but not the ones near me. I use to buy my figures from a dealer who had all figures, but he doesn't have them now and what Target and Big W stores near me provide is close to nothing. I would like to see someone from Big W or Target or even Mattel explain how they release figures. Elite 72 never came out, and I haven't seen a series since. We may end up with more people like aussiedzfan, and start buying other things. It is not that we don't like wrestling it is how we get the figures, we know they are out but we don't receive them in our stores. |

Carindale target haven’t had anything since Ellsworth. CBD gets once case then sits for months. North Lakes hasn’t had anything since Ellsworth. Chermside has had a case of 73 in the last 3 months. Big W even worse in most locations. |

VIC people, check your Toyworlds! Just picked up Billie Kay and Mandy Rose from Southland All Toyworlds aren't the same. The Southland Toyworld is a Toyworld Central. They also with the Toyworlds at Eastland, Doncaster, Greensborough and Docklands. These stores have been known to bring in some interesting WWE figures. I know that the Doncaster Toyworld has the real scale toy WWE Championship and the WWE Redalversal Championship (The Red version of the Universal Title). I have gone to the Southland store to pick up something and picked up another WWE figure. In the store whip around today, went into Target Chadstone and they had Elite Series 75 out and on display. They had at least two pegs worth of figure on display but they only had two figures left, Seth Rollins and Kailisto. You loss faith in a store bringing out new figures, then you go back in there and they have put another Series out. I went into the store on Thursday evening and there was only the Summerslam figures there. Don't go in on Friday and on Saturday they only have two figures left from Series 75. If a place sales figures out that quick they need more figures. |

Went to Target Forest Hill and Big W Box Hill yesterday. They are down to their last Ellsworth and Big Cass from Elite 75 at Target Forest Hill. They also must of had Elite Series 75 in store because there was one left, Dunne. Big W at Box Hill had nothing new, just a Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe from Elite 65.

Okay fellow Aussies - the world has gone to sh*t, our Aussie $ is the worst it has been in 20 years... so buying from US or any other place is off the table (at least for me)
So, here’s what I think we should do - let’s see if we can’t help each other out. After a fellow member hooked me up with Billie Kay, I am completely up to date... so I don’t need anything. (Until 76 hits)
If anyone needs anything - start posting in here, if I can get you get it at cost. (Retail / shipping and PayPal) remember - shipping boxes aren’t free.
Post away guys... let’s try and keep our collections going and see if we can’t support each other,
(More importantly - I hope you and your family members are safe and sound)
Cheers Dan
