Okay so since yesterday I found Elite 15 at Walmart, and grabbed Evan Bourne for a friend of mine, I decided to look at 2 other Walmarts and see what they had. The first one had the same as yesterday's Walmart finds; Bourne, R-Truth, and Rey Mysterio from E15. But the 2nd Walmart proved beneficial, as I found E15 Sin Cara! Was waiting on this one, didn't want the Basic Sin Cara or the 2 pack with Bryan. I'm strictly an Elite collector now unless someone came in Basic form and was released from WWE before an Elite could come out, and Basic is the only way I'll get the guy [or girl]. It's a great figure too. And he ended a long drought, talking like 8 months of no good figures found, and he's the first since Vickie Guerrero in January. Snapped a few pics, even though everyone knows what he looks like. ....and onto the sadness at TRU . This could go on Mattel too with how much they over-saturate John Cena in nearly every series. TRU has barely had ANYTHING in the last 9 months. I haven't bought a figure from there in over a year, back over LAST summer when they did the "Spend $25, get a free Legends 2-pack" promotion. They had - counting Rumblers, Elites, Basics, FlexForce, and 2 packs - 36 figure packs on the pegs and shelves. A whopping 29 of them were or included John Cena. 2 Undertaker, 3 Triple H, and 2 Sin Cara/Daniel Bryan packs. That was just appalling to me, to see that much in the way of John Cena at one store. No other store that I've been to recently - the 3 Walmarts included - had one John Cena figure. Not a basic, not a Rumbler, not ONE SINGLE John Cena figure. Those stores are nice. TRU has become the last place I will check if I go figure hunting anymore.

Sin cara is such a nice figure. I haven't really experienced the cena problem, but I know you guys have it bad.

I dont even bother with TRU really for figures anymore. Its just a waste of time for me to go there usually. Its Walmart or Kmart or buying them online through sites and auctions for me now.

My TRU actually stocked today, no shipper, but I did find Nattie and the rest of B20 (only needed Nattie). It's long slow road but maybe eventually your store will get something!
I picked up a Sin Cara at Wal-Mart as well. No Yoko or Mark Henry, either, just like you found. The hunt for Yoko continues!

I agree about TRU. Might start calling it CMO instead. Since it's become the Cena/Mysterio/Orton store. BTW: Nice Sin Cara.

I don't get it. Mattel blames the amount of Cenas and Reys produced by saying their in demand with kids. And yet the most kid visited toy store that sells wwe figs has the worst problem with the Cena/Rey Plague.

TRU doesn't get anything in but Basics and Cenas.

You lucked out, most Cara's have a poorly glued mask/eye part.
