Since SO many stores carry wrestling figures these days, I'm just curious as to what store collectors seem to find the most "luck" in finding figures they're looking to purchase. The past couple weeks I've been to just about every Target, Wal*Mart, Toys 'R Us and Family Dollar in my area. I've honestly had the best luck at Toys 'R Us with a lot of Elite/Legends I was looking to purchase. Target and Wal*Mart have been very unpredictable. Some Targets were having the great $3.74 sale while others had next to nothing...same for Wal*Mart. I know the one by my house has maybe 10 figures and it's been the same ones forever. There was one Wal*Mart I went to that had MAYBE 4 figures and another Wal*Mart that had tons. It's strange.
I miss the Hills, Ames, KB Toys days...

I tend to buy most of my parts online these days, but Wal-Mart has quietly become a great source for me as well. TRU is a close second due to their prices on Legends.
It really is a shame that KB Toys isn't around for the WWE Mattel era. It would have been interesting to see how their prices, special sales, and overall stock would have been for the line.

I haven't even started my real "collection" and I can tell you I wont be using Wal-Mart. Their selection is pretty bad around my parts. I will most likely use K-Mart or online stores.

I was having my best luck at Walmart.....my TRU hadn't gotten anything new in about a year until the July McMahon display got me caught up with Legends 5 and Basic 11. Still looking for Elite 9 Miz though.
I'm not sure where Elite 10 will pop up first, I'm hearing people are finding them at Walmart but my Walmart hasn't even gotten Elite 9 yet.
My Walmart actually seems the farthest behind right now. Still stuck on Legends 4, Elite 8, and Signature Series. That's ALL they have.
Target only has Basic 11, Flex Force belt 2-packs and the Champions 4-pack They did a reset last week and they have an empty shelf spot for Elites, which leads me to believe they could stock Elite 9 by the end of this week hopefully.
TRU has Elite 8, some Elite 9 (only Kofi and Orton), Basic 11, TLC, and Legends 5.
Really I find my self just obsessively checking Mattelshop and I've been really lucky and managed to get some stuff from there before it sold out (Elite 10 Kane, Nexus 2-Packs).

Walmart is the only store that has anything semi new (Elite 8 and Legends 5). It's slim pickings around here. The same figs have been on the shelves (most haven't been restocked) for months at Target, Kmart, and Toys R' Us.

I hate to say it, but RSC is my store at this point.
Repacking and theft of accessories usually plague the stores in my area that actually *do* have some sort of new merchandise, so I've almost quit looking or depending on local retail for WWE product.

In my area, usually walmart gets the newest stuff first, then target, then tru. KMART is kinda like a wild card, who knows what, & when they get new stuff

In Tampa, TRU is most consistant (the Grove and Brandon), Wal-Mart, it depends on what area ur in, K-Mart and Target basically suck around here.

I have my best luck at TRU. They tend to get newer stuff in on a more regular basis. The wal marts around here dont restock all that often because the same things hang on the pegs so they dont see a need to restock. Target is hit or miss depending on what sales they have going on, and the K-mart around here is useless. I live in a smaller market, so nothing ever seems to be a priority.

swear someone just posted this a few days ago lol but i rather buy mine online at RSC or use Amazon.My stores carry them but there so far behind. I just happened to pop in kmart today for the first in months and they still had all ufc sittin there and one Terry Funk legend and 2 Shad's warming pegs. The only thing i was interested in was the TLC Ring and set but that was ridiculously priced at $51.99 for a small ass basic ring and the tripod to hang the belt above it. i thought that tripod def aint worth $52 plus tax lol prob wouldnt even fit over my esr anyways

My Local KMart has just about everything from 3-packs to rings and i've noticed that if your looking for WWE movies KMart has just about what f.y.e has.

All of my local stores where keeping up and restocking often until this past spring. Now, outside of TRU, I haven't seen anything new past Basic 8, 2 packs 9, or Elite 8.
The local Target did their reset and the only new items were the the Target exclusives (Champions pack and Flex Force 2 packs). No new Basics at all, just the same 4 series 8 Finlay figures that have been there since January. There wasn't even a space for Elites.
All of the local Walmarts haven't gotten anything new in months. The only thing they have are left over Wrestlemania Heritage and Signature Series and a few still have some E8 Regal and Takers, along with 2 pack shelf warmers (HHH & Sheamus, Cena & Orton, Hart Dynasty).
The only Kmart left in my area has become a joke. They started strong when Mattel first took over and then Christmas came along. They had so much overstock it was crazy! They still have tons of Elite 6, Basic 8, and 2 packs 7. They haven't gotten anything new since then.
I refuse to pay twice the retail price online, so if my local stores don't pick up soon, my collecting days may be over.

I would say Target, then TRU, then Wal-Mart as I rarely ever find anything in there.
