Well today I tried my luck, going to my nearest Toys R Us, after striking out last week in my hunt for Elite 23. Since I had time to kill before they opened, I went to the nearby Walmart first. Wasn't expecting to really find anything, just going to kill time, but they ended up having a bunch of basic 28, which was great, since I had never seen Sandow from the series, and was finally able to pick him up. They also had Cena and Rock from the t-shirt series, but no D-Bry. So when I got to Toys R Us, I headed down to the wrestling figures, and had almost reserved myself to the fact, I was probably going to strike out, but thankfully they had e23. There was one of everyone, except Triple H. Ended up grabbing JBL, Cesaro and Savage. Was going to get Undertaker, but decided I'd get him another time. They also had the new battle packs, and was almost going to pick up Vince/Punk, but decided, with the Sandow and now the three elites, that was enough spending, so I left them for another day. Even though I got what I was hoping, when I got back home, I still went on my three store run, I usually do once a week, of Target, Walmart, Target, and it's sad, that this is what my local Walmart's wrestling selection consists of. It's been like that for a while, with only two Orton/Sheamus battle packs on the bottom shelf. Only reason I can think of this, is they're building a Super Walmart down the street (it's been delayed twice, since it's planned Memorial Day opening), and so they're not really putting much new stock out.

Fantastic pick ups! I've seen too many Walmarts that look like that. Glad you have other stores nearby!

Connecticut. Apparently the southern half of the state had been getting them, when everyone else was, but I'm in the northern part, and was seeing no signs of them until today.

Now back when Big Lots had legends on the shelves like crazy, I ended up getting three Eddies, for the belt, and because it was a great figure. So now with the new JBL, I have the third guy to put the extra Undisputed belt with.

Sweet stuff man! And it just sucks that Walmart doesn't care enough to please us to buy things. Jokes on them.

I just hope when the newer Walmart finally opens (October is what I've heard now), they'll have a bunch of new stock on the shelf.

Awesome pickups man !!! I stopped at one of the only 2 Walmarts where I live and they HAD the Elite seriee with HTM and the Basic Series with Warrior, but of course they were gone :/. The other Walmart was the exact same way.... Scalpers Im sure, but man it sucks... I was so ticked I picked up Elite 23 Undertaker on Ebay for $28 shipped, wasnt so bad after all lol. Either way man, awesome pickups !!!

If you're talking about the same "newer Walmart" that I know about then you probably live pretty close to me.
