I found Elite 16 CM Punk behind two Elite 16 Randy Ortons. It was the coolest feeling ever because it was the figure I went to Walmart looking for, I thought i missed out on all the good figures seeing the Elite 16 Ortons but to my surprise I saw the CM Punk in the back.

At Target I found the exclusive ADR/Rey flex force two pack with belt behind a bunch of Legos. I wouldn't even have walked down the isle but they had it blocked so I had too glad I did!
At Walmart I have found so many items hidden usually under the shelf. My best finds were a Walmart exclusive Rumbler pack with Rey, Morrison, and Kofi. I also found a UFC Kendall Grove.

Once I his a basic sin cara(poorly I might add) behind another figure in the same aisle on a Saturday and went back the following Thursday and it was still there so I got lucky. Makes me wonder just how poorly the workers cleaned up the store lol

I found a boppv HHH at tru behind all the rings and got 10% off because it was beat up and open(no missing parts). At Toy Zam(it was in my mall for about 7 weeks)I found a Big Boss Man behind the star wars toys and got it.

I found a wade barret elite cropping up a few month back considering when we get elites in scalpers get to them first, it was a nice find

Not wrestling figure related but when Jakks was still making the foam Pokeballs a coworker told me to look under the shelves and voila I found 3 pokeballs and bought them

I stopped by my walmart today to see if they restocked E16 but to my surprise they put out E15 again. Everyone was on the pegs but yokozuna. Sure enough i saw a white elite box sticking out of the teenage mutant ninja turtles section. Since i picked him up last week, i gladly returned him front and center to his home in the WWE section. If your gonna hide something, atleast be creative about it. Don' t stick a white box on a peg full of green boxes.

I remember looking under the shelves at TRU and finding jakks classic Papa Shango months after the series hit stores. At another TRU same situation but found Luna Vachon, I was ecstatic.

Never found any wrestling figures, but I did find a Marvel Legends chase figure (either green Hulk or Cyclops, I think) hidden in the bin above the aisle at TRU once. The cashier I used must have been the one to hide it, because he seemed pretty annoyed when he saw it.

Many moons ago.... At Family Toy Warehouse I was shopping with a bunch of my buddies. The one was looking for both Matt & Jeff TTL figures. They only had Jeff. After going through every row I finally said "sometimes you can find stuff behind the big boxes" Looked behind the first box and there was Matt.

Did you really just say hidey hide? My buddy used to always say that in reference to hiding things in the fridge. So if you found a coke behind the condiments in the door, that was the "Hidey Hide". ALWAYS check for the Hidey Hide.

I never knew about the shelf above the toys in TRU.
I'll start checking there now every time I go.

Last december in Walmart being the S.O.S Miz Rey Cena etc on the pegs, I look at the top and saw a ton of FF rings and I walk over to the rings and saw a ton of E11 and found the last E11 Punk! Was a pretty cool feeling and I gotta say that THAT was my last good moment of finding a figure since then other than the time I gave a kid a Yoko a few weeks ago but that's another story. OH! I think I did get my Karma because I found B20 Natalya sunday in a Walmart 40 mins from my house! I might not get it, but didn't you say you haven't had any luck finding a figure since then, then turn around and say you found one on a Sunday before, both on the same day? Don't ya think you would remember having luck a week ago? lol

My best contemporary find was in a cruddy KMart, was walking down one of the girls aisles in the toy section making a quick round of the whole section as it was trashed and messy and I was hoping I'd see something. I looked up at the top of the shelf and saw something behind some pink crapthe next aisle down. I walked around to the next aisle and moved the pink boxes to reveal a Defining Moments 1 Macho Man clearance'd to $16 with an additional 50% off coming to a cool total of $8!!! Thought I had missed that one for good and was pretty happy to get it so damn cheap That was a happy, happy day. haha

One time I found a BoPPV Bryan smuggled behind a row of basic rings so I put back on the peg in front, because it's like Ebenezer says,"We've got to get rid of these guys so we can get the new stuff!".
Unrelated, a few years ago Bandai released a retro power ranger line and had an exclusive set for TRU and some bastard kept hiding the green ranger in all sorts of places. The last one I'd seen was on a clearance endcap and it must've been under the shelves because it looked like it was the victim of stripping and waxing, the figure and the box were totally ruined.
