So, I went out figure hunting today for the 1st time in about a month....I went to 2 Wal-marts, K-mart, Gordman's, and TRU. Every store was PACKED full of Elite 22. I figured I would stumble across a Kane or Bigshow or two from this set, but EVERY store I went to had at least 1 full case minus the Giant. Are these everywhere like this or just in my area?

Every store in my area is jam packed with this set...rock, giant, sandow and tensai never last longer than a week anywhere but kane and show are destined to clog for all of eternity |

I think Mattel has increased the numbers of each set. I saw everybody at least 3 times today...

Ya every store in my area got this wave. It seems though only my Target got the case with Giant and thank goodness I grabbed it that day.

I hope Elite 23 comes in retail like that lol. I'm holding my breath to find a Cesaro at retail when they start hitting shelves in a few months.

Definitely easy to find. The worst part is people still trying to scalp these on ebay. Like how much profit can you actually make on these.

I've come across all but Sandow in retail, but not at the same store. Tensai here; Show, Kane, Giant and Rock here; Kane and show over there and so forth.

Probably a smart idea. It's a good set to do it with as well with 2 new characters in the Elite line with Tensai and Sandow, a flashback as always, and 3 figures with vac titles. There are a TON at retail at the moment, but I don't expect them to last long. |

This is a good thing! Now lower the price for these on European online stores. Okay? Okay!

The handy dandy Target inventory search on their website made E21 and E22 pretty easy to find for me. But to your point, E22 does seem to have better distribution than previous sets, lets hope it continues.

I added this in the store findings thread, but if anyone is in the Maryland-DC-Virginia area and looking for Elite 22 Giant, I saw one at the Toys R Us in Rockville, MD today. It was $19.99 + tax; I hope this helps someone!

My Target got it in once and no other stores around here got it, so I would have to say no, lol. For me it was definitely E20 or E19 (both sets I ordered almost entirely online, of course).

It has been pretty easy for me to find E22 which is rare because distribution is usually terrible in my area. I hope E23 is like this!

I saw all of E22 once in TRU a few weeks ago, over time I've bought every figure except Tensai.

Every Elite set after 2010 has been extremely easy to find in my area. The only set that wasn't was Elite 7. Early Elite sets were difficult more than likely due to retailers testing the waters. I have seen every figure from every set from Elite 8 to now in heavy abundance except for E16 Kevin Nash.
The day basics become readily available and I don't have stores skipping 2-3 sets at a time, that'll be the day I'll be happy. I shouldn't have to rely on drug stores and Kohl's to get me through the spring and summer droughts.

Mmmmmmm it's still E19 that's the easiest set to find around here. Ziggler and Bryan are still warming.

My Targets have been jam packed for me and my go to place for elites since I started collecting. They've restocked at least three to four times. Walmart in my area hasn't stocked once and KMart has just started....
The basics are always my problem in finding what I want.
