I saw someone post on the findings board when I got up. I brushed my teeth and went straight to target lol. I got rock, tensai, show n Kane. I've used the Target website a few times to see when stuff came in stock and rushed over to the store at 8am to be the first one in a few times. It really helps, but sometimes I get screwed because there's no way to know if it's the right Series. Like Friday I saw Elites come in stock at a different Target and I got up early and drove my ass all the way over there thinking it was Elite 22....aaaaand FAIL, Elite 21, lol. You can call the store ya know, and they'll hold it for u...I know it's exciting to hunt sometimes but man it's so much easier to just know it's there a lot also lol

Both Targets in town got fresh cases of Elite 21, none in the back according to the scanner. Went to K-mart, they had one each of E15 and E18 Rey Mysterio and nothing else.

Hahaha nah, it was a different Target. My gf and I went to donate some cat food to a shelter and decided to take a trip across the bridge to Newburgh. The Target web site said that Elites have been in stock there for a few days, it's just such a pain in the ass to get there from Fishkill so I hardly ever go unless I'm going to be in the area for something else. So I walk in the store and the toy section looks like a bomb went off. No toy has any specific section and it pretty much looks like an earthquake happened and that was where all the toys happened to land. There wasn't even any WWE toys anywhere, despite the website says IN STOCK. I found an employee who was reeeeaaally not in the mood to be there apparently because when I told him Elites were in stock and I was wondering if he could maybe check the stockroom for me, he started telling me some bs excuses about how he's not allowed to go in the back and get anything and how people in the back aren't allowed to bring anything out. I laughed and said something like "that explains the lack of anything on the shelves". He either didn't get the joke or wasn't amused. I said "yeah, thanks anyway" and walked away. I decided to take a stroll to customer service and told them that their website said items were in stock and their employee in the toy department refused to go look for me, and she was PISSSSSED. She got on her radio and called him over and made him go look for the Elites. The whole time I was standing there waiting for him to bring the case out I was sweating hoping that it wasn't going to be a case of something crappy like Elite 20 or 21, because after causing a scene I'd have felt like an ass clown if I ended up not buying anything. But, I got lucky and it was Elite 22 and I got Tensai and Sandow. So I'm done with Elite 22. I don't really case about Big Show or The Giant, I like my Elite 19 Kane that I customized with the shiny boots, smaller elbow pads and I painted the mask to look more realistic better than Elite 22 Kane, and I already have The Rock. Maybe I'd pick up Giant and Kane if there was a sale, but not full price. It was pretty funny listening to the guy try and BS me, because when you know people who work at Target who are nice, you know when the people who are lazy and just don't feel like helping. lol lol. I stopped at the Newburgh store on our way home because I needed the rest room. I didn't see anything in the aisle other than a Basic Cena and an employee struggling putting up an end display. And seeing my wife and daughter were sitting in the truck making buttons about wanting to get home I just went to the rest room and left without checking the scanner. Yeah, I don't know what happened to that store. It used to be really nice, clean, organized, and up to date on their stock. I haven't been to that store in a few months and was shocked at the condition of the toy section. The old cranky guy that was forced to get my Elite 22 figures is probably the reason why, lol. He was like "we don't have any". So I said "the web site says you do". He said "there's no price tags so I can't scan to check where it is in the back". So I said "I have the product number". He said "I'm not allowed to go in the back and get anything and the people in the back aren't allowed to bring anything out"....it was like a comedy sketch, I had a counter for everyone of his excuses. Then the girl who was probably 40 years younger than him forced him to go get my toys, lol.

Keep trying. Yesterday it showed that my Target has limited stock elites I even called and nothing. I wake up at 8am and checked the site and it said in stock called them and they had all of E22.

How do you check onkine if your store has them in stock? Go to www.target.comType "WWE ELITE" into the search bar. It will bring up a bunch of figures. Click on ANY figure, it doesn't matter because they all have the same DPCI #. Once you click on the figure, it will take you to a page where you have the option to "FIND IN A STORE". Click on that button. It will open a window which will allow you to put in your city/state or zip code. After you do that, it will give you a list of stores near your location, and in that box it will tell you if WWE Elite figures are IN STOCK, OUT OF STOCK, or LIMITED STOCK. Again, you can not search for a specific character because all WWE Elite figures are given the same DPCI #, so if any figures are in stock they will ALL show as in stock. But the store locator is a good tool to use if your stores are showing Elites as being in limited stock or out of stock because you can watch to see when the status of your store changes to IN STOCK. When that happens you will know that your store has just received new WWE Elites. Again, you won't know specifically what Series your store/stores have just gotten in unless you call and ask or go to the store...but it's a good way to track when Elites come in. For example. My store has been showing Elites as being OUT OF STOCK for a few weeks now. The other day, the status on the website changed to IN STOCK. I drove to the store hoping it was Elite 22, and it was Elite 21. I was disappointed. Today, the status of another store changed to IN STOCK, so I went and it was Elite 22. So again, you can't check for specific characters, but when we see a lot of posts on here that people are starting to find a new Elite Series in Target, you can use the web site to see when they get something new in, and there's a decent chance it will be the new Series. You might get screwed and have it be an older Series, but it's still nice to have the heads up on when a store gets something instead of driving there everyday. I hope this helps.

Is there a special code you can use for basic figures also? I would love to find out if my store ever re-stocked these since 95% of the stores around me are empty right now

Is there a special code you can use for basic figures also? I would love to find out if my store ever re-stocked these since 95% of the stores around me are empty right now Unfortunately, Target does not offer any Basic figures on their web site, so you can not use the store locator to track the stock of Basic figures in stores. However, as do all products at Target, Basic figures DO have a DPCI code. If you are actually IN a Target store and you want to check if they have any more Basics in the back, you can either take a Basic figure that is already on the shelf and scan it at a price scanner and under the price where it says IN STOCKROOM it will either say YES or NO. If it says YES, try and track down an employee who will hopefully be nice enough to go to the stockroom and check if they have the characters you are looking for. OR, if there are no Basics on the shelf to scan and you want to see if maybe there are some in the stockroom, go to the price scanner and type in: 087-06-1102 That is the DPCI for Basics, and just like if you had scanned a figure, it will tell you the price and if there are more in the stockroom. I hope this helps.

Yea, I'm not finding these things.... Delaware seems like it's always last to get everything.
Target's site said "in stock" this morning, I went over - not even any pegs for WWE Elites right now, filled up with other clearance junk that's not even WWE. Couldn't even find an employee to ask.
I hate Target....

You guys know you can just call your Target and ask exactly what series they have instead of wasting time and gas?

Mine has Elite 12 Ortons. Still. Since December 2011. Still there. Target Same here. There was one, and now there are two. A bunch of old figures from random waves all showed up one day, putting up to two E12 Ortons. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put it together. I see the guy from the flea market who scalps WWE and Marvel Legends at this store a lot, the flea market is about 6 minutes from this target, and surprise surprise, there are a bunch of the unsellable Marvel Legends and WWE Elites all of a sudden at the local Target. Kiss my ass, man.

And go to customer service for sure if an employee tries to BS you and tell you they don't have anything when it's clear on the Target website and price scanner that they DO have Elites. Your store has Elites in the back for sure, man.

I was aiming that at the jerk-off from the flea market, who I know for a fact is the one clogging down our shelves with old product that won't sell. I really really hope you didn't think that. I was actually chiming in to tell you that I feel the pain of having that dud of a toy taking up shelf space.
