RSC, Mattelshop.com, TRU, Walmart and then Target. If I didn't have a good job, it would probably be the reverse.

Have you guys had any luck at Walgreens/Rite Aid/CVS?
I've heard they sell figures but I did not find any at my Walgreens yesterday.

The few times I've been to Walgreens or CVS, and actually looked in the toy section, they would only have a single figure. Today I was in Walgreens, and they had a single John Cena Summer Slam figure. My luck has been pretty split between Target, TRU and WalMart. I actually got two different sets of Demolition from WalMart, and haven't seen them in any other stores

My walmart does good with elites. No legends. I check online a lot. I like Amazon, I get free 2 day shipping so 15.99 for an elite is good. They are stuck on 8 though. Restocked yesterday, sold out of popular ones. I think they may have had elite 9 for pre-order in June, but I didn't do it, and not sure if it was accurate, as they got taken down. May have been.

its been 3 months since any of the stores got in a current series aside from basic. I would have bought a good amount of figures over the summer if they would have been in stores. Im hoping the stores get flooded pretty soon because its been ridiculous.

Ringside is my store to buy 95% of the stuff from Mattel that I can't wait to get in stores, the other 5% is split evenly i'd say between Target and Wal-Mart

Ringside Collectibles All the WAY!!! Every once in awhile I will pick up stuff at WalMart if I missed out on it online.

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. Wait...KB Toys no longer exist?

I've been going back and forth between the West and East Coast these last couple of years and it's a different experience. In CA, Target is the best place to find new series of Basics & Elites. TRU is getting better but their Elite selection is still behind. Walmart seems to get newer Basic 2-packs and the latest shipment of Elites but if you miss out, their stock remains there for a long time. Kmart is completely dead and only good for exclusive sets.
Meanwhile, in PA, I found that Walmarts are the best bet for finding new figures. TRU is also getting better there and Target is slowly picking it up. Kmart used to be the first ones to get any series of Legends but now, it's not that good.
In the end, though, RSC has been getting the majority of my business this year. I'm not in the mood to spend as much time and gas money on toy runs and I collect full sets of Elites, DM's, and Legends so it makes more sense to me to just pre-order. I'm not even spending that much extra on big orders and I'm getting my figures months in advance. I tend to pick-and-choose Basics, so I'll wait for those to hit retail. Most of the time, the ones I want, like the Divas or SummerSlam Khali, tend to be too pricey on their own to order.

I only have 2 Wal-Marts, 2 K-Marts, and a Target in my town. I tend to go where the new figs are hitting - got Legends 4 when they hit K-Mart, Elite 10 when they hit Wal-Mart recently, and when several of the basic lines hit Target first, I managed to get those. My best purchase though was not even here - a week after the figs hit Toys-R-Us for the McMahon promotion my Mother/Father In-Law was in Toys-R-Us in their town, and they called me asking if I need any figures, and they ended up getting 3 Macho Mans, a Rick Martel, a Bam Bam Bigelow, 2 Elite Zack Ryders, and an Elite Miz to help me get 2 McMahons. Was quite happy with that.
