For some of you Kmart in your area may be closing due to poor sales or whatever excuse they give to the public. About a month ago my local Kmart put up signs that they were closing and started marking items down. At the time my store had a poor selection of figures 3 Elite 17 Sheamus figures, 1 Kofi Kingston. They had some Tribute to the Troop rings and Orton figures as well as plenty of the Flexforce lighting figures and rumbler packs with accessories. Nothing really screaming buy me. That was until today I went in browsing for stuff for my daughters and son and I find the BEST of the BEST pick-ups anybody can find ever. I found Legends 1 Hawk and Animal, Legends 4 Ax and Smash, then there was Legends 2 Kamala which I rightfully left on the shelf and Elite 12 Papa Shango. I bring this post up because most people think that when the store is closing the items that are on the shelves are all they have or will get. I was very surprised by this find, I immediately snapped a picture with my cell phone and sent it to a few close friends who collect figures as well. My advice to you is that if your store is closing keep going back because you never know what will end up out on the shelf. I thought for sure my chances of finding a MOC Legends LOD and Demolition set for cheap were over long time ago. Today I paid $11.19 each figure plus tax. Keep looking if anyone wants pictures or proof I will gladly scan the receipt and snap pictures of the figures.  |

Probably had them out the back in the stock room hidden since they first came in. Awesome finds. Would love to see some pics.
You should look to see if they are selling off any of the fittings. Those lockable glass cases they have in the DVD & Games section make incredible figure display cases.

Sorry for the bad picture like I said that was taken with my cell phone. I am going to take new pictures with my digital camera right now. Thanks for the responses.

We had three Kmarts in our town and in a span of 15 years we lost all three. Our last one left in 2009

The things that make it worth while to do the retail figure hunt The ONLY reason I drive 20 miles to Kmart every week, they never get newer figures here and always restock older series. Specifically E17  but hoping they stock E18 soon, or maybe classics like this guy found. Only classics I keep finding are DM taker, piper, orton, sheik, bushwackers, steamboat, Steele, and funk all at tru and BL |

Maybe I'll have a K-Mart pop up near me.

Well I sure hope none of my K Marts close - I have enough trouble finding Elites and I really don't want to be stuck buying them exclusively from Toys Я Us....
I've sensed K Mart is in trouble for quite a while.... the stores are emptier, dirtier, understaffed.... and I really don't want them to go out of business, as they are a great source of my Wrestling Figs..... so I've been trying to support them and shop there (as opposed to Wal Mart) as much as possible... however, often K Mart's selection for household supplies just doesn't match up to Wal Mart's.... so it's hard.

That's un freakin believable! I promise you that there is no chance in hell that Legends LOD is just gonna show up on the shelf at my KM.
I have never bought anything other than figs at KM. But the other day I was curious to see what they're prices are in relation to Kroger or WM. Holy crap is KM overpriced. The same body wash, vitamins, shaving cream etc is all $2 - $3 higher at Kmart. We're not talking 50 cents. That's crazy. Esp when I see a lot of lower income people shopping there. I wanna shake them and tell them to go to Walmart.
This reason, and what Flair stated, is why they are closing. The floor tile in every KM looks like Abraham Lincoln's nephew installed it. Unfortunately, a lot of Sears stores will be closing in 2014 also.

Both Sears and KMart are on their way out. I'm still surprised anytime I see one open.
Amazing finds though, the odds on finding those MUST be incredibly high! My guess is that an employee hid them for later when they came out and they were let go or something. Sheer craziness! Congrats.
