Derry NH Walmart had Elite 71 picked up Vince and Brisco. Rest of the set was left. Epping Walmart Had Elite 71. Brisco and vince gone. Picked up EC3 and Dolph Variant Chase. Greenland Target was stocked, picked up the entire set including both collectors editions. Also had the Exclusive starwars mandalorian picked up 2. Few left as of yesterday. Wanted one of those Mandalorians so I swung up to Greenland this morning after you posted - looks like they were scooped up or I’m blind. BUT Popfindr was still showing way more Elites than what was on the hooks in-stock, so I asked. Actually got a super helpful employee who went to the back and found the overstock. All E69, but Liv Morgan was with them. She must have been toward the bottom of the case when they were stocking the pegs at some point and got relegated to the back. Lucked out, because I had given up on her and Sonya and moved on to Ohno. Nice, I noticed the number on popfindr too. Went back but the guy who I talked too wouldn't go out back lol. On target online if you type in mandalorian it will tell you what store near you has it in stock. Greenland and the others are sold out. But I'd keep an eye on that, that's is how I new to head over. If only Greenland would update there neca section, it be a great stop for me. |

Usually there’s at least a smattering of stuff but I think there was quite literally not one Ultimate NECA on the shelves. I was able to snag the Ultimate Sam (Trick ‘r’ Treat) at the Nashua Pheasant Lane Mall Target last night but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in the wild around here. |

I ordered Sam on target.com using the 25% off code, came out to like 17$ shipped. I only found the cloth version. If you need a myers cloth version Salem had 3 of them Friday night 30$ each. Targets for me sucks, I have great luck at walmarts but I rarely get lucky in target except the other night. |

Grabbed chase Dolph from the Leominster Target today. Last thing I needed from Elite 70 so thankfully I can focus on finding some other stuff before 71 starts hitting (in larger quantities anyways, we’ve definitely got a case or two in some stores in MA because I found E71 Cena at Lowell earlier this week)

Just him, though. |

Found E72 at the Walpole Wal-Mart about an hour ago. They only had Batista, Lynch, and Murphy on the shelf. Picked up Lynch and Murphy.

If anyone saw the inventory spike at the Wilmington Target...do yourself a favor and pass.
I have no idea what happened, but they jumped by about 18-20 today. Figured maybe a couple cases of 71, maybe grab an Ohno. I get there and it’s the dream scenario - that amount of stock has been put out on the hooks, no need to hunt down an employee or stalk the stocking carts for a familiar looking case.
Downside? ALL 20ish were Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax from E65, and AJ Styles from I think it was E61. There were two Aiden English’s mixed in there but the entire load they got was those three figures otherwise. My best guess is that they got other stores’ backstock in in an attempt to move shelf warmers. Because it’s one store I check the inventory from daily and they went from about 13 to 32 overnight - not divisible by 8, so they weren’t normal cases.
But that store is going to be out of commission on getting stock for quite awhile I imagine, because those three things are going to be keeping the pegs piping hot for months.

I think what we have here is more than that. I’ll PM you. |

So what we have going on here is somebody going to several Targets in the area and returning tons cheap figures like Nia, Ronda, and Aiden, claiming they bought them from Target with no receipt and paid with cash. Likely bought for $3 on RSC. For a $17 profit per figure. If they get lucky enough the Customer Service doesn’t question it and they just accept the return. I witnessed with my very eyes a cart freshly loaded with returns at the service desk with nothing but Ronda Nia Aiden, it’s not like these stores are randomly getting cases of them in.
Here’s what we need to do. I’ve already done it at my local store.
If you see random influxes of tons of Nia Ronda Aiden AJ etc that weren’t there before, you need to tell the Customer Service rep about it. Show them the Ringside sale prices , tell them how the DCPI will all ring up the same, ask if there’s anyone who frequently comes in and returns major hauls of WWE Elites at a time. I noticed Watertown’s number is up to over 100 right now, and I plan on making a trip over there very soon to report this if they do indeed have tons of these false returns.
Also ask if you can speak to someone from AP (Asset Protection) and let them know what’s going on too. It’s the same guy. They are on the lookout for him at my store and I plan on going around and reporting it to any other local Targets that I see this happening. I hope he’s reading this. This is theft and once a case is started and they back track your history, we’re looking at hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars stolen.

Noticed a good amount of Targets around all of a sudden having a ton of Nia Jax elites on hand. 5 to 10 per store. |

For some reason in NH quite a few walmarts are putting out 1 or 2 a day of Elite 72. I ask the employees for the box, they say theres 13 figures out back but cant locate it. Go back to each store shortly after and 1 or 2 of them are out on the floor. I hate these effing stores.

So either this is some weird crap target is pulling , (which is doubtful because I saw with my own eyes the number went up in the middle of the day and I walked over to guest service and saw Aidens Nias and Ronda’s loaded in a fresh cart of returns) Or this idea has spread through FB groups, social media, etc, and now everyone pullling this dirty little trick. |

Concord, NH Walmart is loaded with E72, probably 3 cases worth. Saw 1 Gorilla. There is some overflow and a chase Buddy in a box on the top shelf.

Finally got the Pheasant Lane Mall Target in Nashua, NH to put out their Royal Rumble figures. I bought one Lita and one Savage.

Wasn’t Aiden, but big case at my local target. Dude working there was creeping on me and said they just got it in. So either that dude is a nutcase or Targets distro centers were doing clean outs and sent cases of stragglers. There were also random older marvel legends all of a sudden on the shelf too |

There were also random older marvel legends all of a sudden on the shelf too Having seen it so widely spread (because of work, I typically manage to explore a good 40 mile stretch of stores), paired with the fact that E65 has been hitting hard at discounters, I'm perfectly willing to accept that this is what's happening. I suppose the better story is the nefarious deeds of others, but with how common this is looking, I'm finding it easier to believe Occam's Razor in this case. |
