My Local WalMart

5 elite wade barrets wow

My Walmart is full of Barrett Elites. Been like that since Thanksgiving. Suprisingly my Walmart sold out of the Cena/Mysterio's from elite 11 quickly before Punk and Miz. Every place is different. Also unless it has been purchased recently mine also has DH Smith elite still.

Wow. I actually envy you for having Barret and Christian at your finger tips like this, but then again you might feel the same towards me having no problem finding E13 Sheamus.

I don't get how one series was so scarce where I live, yet I read on the boards all the time how E11 Wade Barret and Christian are big peg warmers. I miss the good old days when the whole nation was on the same page as far as what figures were hitting stores. The West Coast generally got first shipments, but then shortly after the Central America and the East Coast had plenty.

In many ways some of these Elite figures are like Transformers Lucky Draw figures (Google it) they are found randomly anywhere.

Going along with the trend of "what's rare one place chokes another", I had a harder time finding E11 Christian around here then CM Punk. The Wal-Mart near my house put out approximately 10 or so cases of E11 at Christmas time and every time I hit them the Christian was gone and Punk was always left. They even still had some Punks through Christmas and at least another week. I also have not seen Punk and Bryan in person, although a friend called me and told me a Wal-Mart in the area had them, but they haven't ever since that call and were out when I got there.

There is another Wal-Mart that has only 2 pegs for Elites and they are out to the end with Wade Barrett. Oh, and one DH Smith with the box practically ripped in half and the t-shirt taken.

Oh, and I'm going to tend to believe Mattel when they say flex-force sells well. It didn't shelfwarm around here until this past Christmas, and I think that is largely due to the price increase.

With that, however... That FlexForce Lightening has been the biggest flop of any of Mattel's failed WWE lines.

The legends only pegwarmed at a few K-marts around me.

The Defining Moments and Entrance Greats only pegwarmed at TRU.

These utter pieces of garbage are choking shelves everywhere. I have a pretty good memory of quantities of things (which I always use as a factor of who I am likely to purchase first) and the nearest Wal-Mart to me hasn't sold a single one yet. Even the places like Kohl's don't sell these things. Every store is still on the first set and they have tons of them left. Flat-out suckiest action-figures on the market. Hell, the new 3 3/4 Dark Knight figures look like Hot Toys compared to those things.

Wow, that is a tiny WWE section. Are there only 3 pegs for besics?

Take away the two packs and that's what my walmart has been like lately.

Makes me jealous I need that Christian and Wade Barrett.

if i had the money, id buy all of those elites to make room for more
