The reason Mattel said it didn't sell well wasn't because of low sales at retail...It was because most retailers passed on carrying it saying it was too much of a risk to move at the price point. So the poor sales were Mattel selling it to retailers...not retailers selling it to the consumers. I think the only major retailers that really ordered any was TRU. I know my Targets & WalMarts never carried it. So Mattel had to sell it to discount stores like Big Lots. And I'm sure it was at a fraction of what they were going to charge major retailers like TRU/Target/WalMart. Couldn't have said this better myself. What bugs me about the whole ordeal with the ESR is that Jakks sold RSR rings at similar if not a higher price points. Now granted, most Jakks RSR sets I saw were at TRU, but once in a while I would see these at Walmart or Kmart. In fact, I bought my HitC RSR at Walmart for only $50 because the package was badly damaged but the contents were good. Based on sales history of the RSRs, one would think that retalers would have had no problem stocking these in their stores. Unless if it was for shelf space reasons, which is stupid TBH. |

What Areas did you hit up in Sol Cal? I found one about 4 months ago or maybe more. I'd have to check my pick up thread. But It was found on the very top shelf behind a lot of other items.

Yucaipa, all the way to Laguna hills Everyone between here and there. I've searched up and down those places Westminster says they have 5 but they don't know where they are. |

They sold poorly and was on clearance for $39.99 I think and sold out. I just think Mattel released it too early and a lot of people didn't want to start over collecting Mattel wrestling figures. |

Wow, that's a lot of Hunting. I wouldn't waste your time with any Big Lots in Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Tustin, Orange, Fullerton, Yorba Linda, Huntington Beach, Buena Park, or Mission Viejo. I have already search at those stores when I was hunting for Legend Figures. I |

Pretty sure I got mine from TRU for $40 or so. Must have been on sale.
