It's really not that outlandish to think that these are purged case assortments. If you'd have told me before last week that Targets were getting sealed cases with a 50/50 split of Balor and Rollins, I'd have side-eyed you, but then I saw it with my own eyes. I'd fully buy in to to likelihood of a purged pack out sorted something like 3x Nia, 3x Aiden, 2x Ronda or something to that effect. I'm more inclined to believe that than I am the likelihood of a 200 mile radial conspiracy.

I think it's the online warehouse purging their extras. Some of the nia jax figures showing up have those horrible red bar code stickers on them like when u order from target online.

If Mattel did this, then it's an inexplicably bad business decision on their part. This seems even more likely if Target is accepting them without a receipt, especially on the heels of Gamestop's $5 clearance sale (Aiden, Nia, Rousey all clearanced out). Just a hypothesis.

These people aren’t spending $5 on figures only to make $2. They don’t give you full retail without a receipt. This has happened several times before and as someone else mentioned, some of these figures have that awful barcode on them. Also..it wouldn’t be spread around New England. No matter what state you’re in, you’re in the system for a return without receipt. |

well...elite 71 is starting to re-hit Target
was at Swansea today and another guy was there too. looked like 2 cases of 71 were on a cart waiting to be put out. long story short, apparently someone was there 10 minutes before me and bought both the Ohno's
so there's that.
im pretty much giving up on these store exclusives. they are a terrible thing for this hobby....and all they are doing is rewarding scalpers.

And here's me chasing down E71 with next to no interest in Ohno. |

Target in Westwood has Elite 71, found Paige, but I did not see Ohno. There’s still one Paige left as of 10 minutes ago.

Found Ohno and Paige at the Saugus Target this morning, and a full set of the Mania Elites at the Wilmington one.
Solid day!
There’s still a Cole and Drew left at Saugus as of noon or so.

Just hit the Methuen Walmart after having an employee tell me they’d be getting four cases in on the truck last night/this morning. Sure enough, timed it perfectly - got there, toy pallet on the floor, all four cases right on top. Same employee on, he cracks one open for me.
No Anvil.
Sure enough, you see where this is going. No Anvil in a single case out of the four. AJ and Finn double packed in all four.
Unreal. These distribution issues cannot be blamed on the stores anymore.

Wal-Mart in Saugus had two Anvil-less cases of E74 out on the shelves at lunchtime today. They also had like 100 Mysterios and 100 Alexas from B104 (which is the first figure I've seen to actually make me LOL in the store).
I grabbed an Andrade and a standard Keith Lee. Pleased to be done with this wave of waves.
Good gets if you need any of the others from E74 though.
