Stripes reference..... Nice! And what's with E23 hitting right after E22, no lag time. Anyone find these and buy any or just finding them and walking away??? I don't think anyone can find these and walk away lol. I grabbed Taker Triple H Cesaro and JBL. |

I don't understand the lack of time between E22 and E23. 22 is a very solid set that should continue to sell well. Every time I see a store has restocked, all of them are normally gone in a few days. With nothing uselessly taking up space, I'd think filling the buffer between series would be well served by another run.

Argh, I just saw this and checked my TRU - nothing but empty pegs.... and a sticker on the pegs that said "8/29"? I wonder if they had them and they're gone...... so mad I had to work all day yesterday and couldn't make it in to check.

Just stopped at my TRU in Yorktown Heights, NY. The had just put out a full case grabbed everyone except for Cena. Also grabbed an extra HHH and Taker to open so I can use the barcodes and receipt for a mail away Mankind (whenever that happens) I have to say that this is one of the best elite series I've seen. Pretty darn happy with my haul. Thanks for the heads up #Showoff!!

From what I've been told about TRU, that date is when they placed their order for more Elites....so your store probably won't get any new Elites in for another week or two. |

After seeing this thread, I called the TRU in Brookfield, WI, and I was able to have them hold everyone except for Macho Man. He was already gone. They were completely sold out of Elites yesterday, not counting the Best of ppv Elites. The TRU on 27th St. in Milwaukee was also completely sold out of elites. As for the time between 22 & 23...sure it was fast, but it's not like it was days or anything. I picked up 22 toward the end of July so it's been over a month. The traffic wasn't bad, but I am dreading going down to the Bradley Center tonight for UFC 164. The Harleys are all over the place for the 110th Celebration here.

With nothing uselessly taking up space, I'd think filling the buffer between series would be well served by another run. I think production runs are decided months in advance, rather than quickly enough to produce more units of figures that are already in stores. I don't think they get sales data that quickly either. |

So I was pleasantly surprised today when I found all of elite 23 at TRU. I wasn't expecting it for at least a month at retail.   I grabbed JBL Taker Triple H and Cesaro which I might return. This was in NJ btw. Start your hunting and don't forget to save your receipts for Mankind! SWEET! I gotta get JBL, Trips and Taker...I only want Cesaro for the shiny us title... 17.99$ They're 25.99 at canadian tru's! I went yesterday lookin but found nothing so I picked up classic Batman Riddler and Penguin - I was happy enough and spent less! lol But this is harsh, I just bought all of 22 (except show) and NOW I gotta shell out for 23...damn you mattel and you're great figs! You're emptying my wallet!!! |

I think even with the standard two-month gap, some areas still get new deliveries of old series after current ones. For some reason, Toys R Us in the UK was getting Elite 19 deliveries after Elite 20 (and possibly still after 21). |

I'm really happy for the people who can get figures at retail but I cry when I see that $17.99 price tag compared to what we pay to get them shipped to Australia hahaha. Good on you though, I have JBL Cesaro and Macho Man and they are great. theyre 24.99 in canada, but i price match it lol 25.99$ in Ontario son - what do you mean price match it? at almost 28$ plus tax I got Tensai and Sandow on ebay for 30$. To hell with searching through the stores. At 30$ it's close enough lol |

They are all gone. WTF. I just hung up w them. The lady on the phone goes to look for me and tells me that there are no more left because a guy in the isle has them all in his cart! WTF. I can't believe my luck. I hope it was some one from here, a collector. I hope it's not a scalper. That's bullcrap- those people are scum. Forget that fact that adults want them lol - you're not even letting kids get them? That's just disgusting. One for yourself is one thing but scalping them all...they should have a policy about that. No more than 2 of any item or you come back tomorrow and get it (at your own second expense) lol |
