So I finally stroll into one of my Walmart's and see E21 has been put out! First peg? 2 Honky Tonk Man's!! I was so happy then upon inspection, it is still the one without the belt on the jumpsuit. If I wanted to pose him without it I would have been happy, but he is one I want dressed when on display. Couldn't believe I put both boxes down and walked away. I tried justifying buying them since I have been looking at so many places for several weeks now but I couldn't pull the trigger. Waiting on the updated version to release into the wild....

Yeah I have yet to see the one with the belt too. I wouldn't buy it anyway but still I'm sure it'll come soon.

I have a feeling you may regret that decision. I have yet to see them in retail, but have picked up a couple through trades. I figure this way I have one and if I find the belt one I will get a couple of them and probably return my MOC non belt ones or trade them away.

I may go back and pick one up just in case tomorrow morning. Worst case, I just return it if I don't need it.

I applaud your conviction. I wasn't able to wait and bought the non-belted version, if/when I see the belted version I will be kicking myself.

I've yet to see HTM. My TRU has gotten 3 cases of assortment B that doesn't have a HTM in it and my two closest Targets both got another case of series 20 this week

Could've bought it and kept it as insurance then returned it when you found the belt version.

I don't know why but I have had no trouble finding HTM. Bought one for myself, traded another, and found two more ready for trade. Guess I've just been lucky?

I've seen HTM 3 times in the last 48 hours. I can't believe it. All at WM. I don't think TRU is getting Case A. At least that's been the pattern.
Picked up another last night for trade. The lack of belt doesn't bother me.

I'm also hoping to hold out for the belt version, but I'll probably pick him up if I see him, because I'm sure I'll just end up using the Jakks blue jumpsuit anyway.

I think you made a big mistake, my friend. Chances are, you will NEVER find the one with the belt in stores. Honky Tonk Man is already .5 per case. So you're chances of finding the one WITH the belt are astronomically low. You might not even find another Honky Tonk Man ever again if you hit a stretch of bad luck and your stores keep getting the revision case with 3 Ryback's instead of Honky Tonk Man.
When I found Honky Tonk Man I bought him in a heartbeat. I have no need to have the painted on belt, I just slapped a classic IC belt around his waist and he's god to stand on my shelf until the end of time. I never pass up on a figure. Mattel distribution is so spotty and there are so many figures of mine that I've only seen ONCE that I can't risk ever leaving something I want on the shelf....especially an Elite Flashback!
Hopefully it works out for you, but statistically the odds are against you. Good luck.

As of this moment HTM is the one FB that I've had/have any trouble finding at mass retail.

You guys are lucky, Elite 21 has yet to show up anywhere around where I'm at.

i have seen e21 at different places (TRU, target, and walmart) but still searching for HTM... you should pick it up first and decide later... most places give you 90 days to return anyways...so it's a win win if you find the one with the belt later on..

I found a fresh case at walmart last week and snagged AJ, Ryback and HTM no belt though. IDC, not worth the risk of not finding at retail again. Hopefully I will though and can just resell this one.

I think your chances are good to find the belted version. Its still early on in production and have plenty of time to snatch up what you want. I'm sure it'll be up online if you don't ever come across it soon. I would have done the same!

I broke.....went back in this morning and snagged em. Worst case I slap the IC belt on him and display. Best, I return them and exchange for the one I want |
