What is your best unexpected find at retail? This does not include flea markets, garage sales, specialty shops, or the like. What have you found at TRU, Target, Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Big Lots, etc., that you weren't expecting to see and were able to buy. This does not include a figure because it was out earlier than expected. This is for those figures you missed the first time around or didn't have because you recently started collecting. Let's hear your stories.

coming across two elite 12 Kane's at a Kmart closeout. Picked them up for $11 each. And this was almost a year after elite 12 had hit retail.
that and finding 4 elite scale rings in a big lots spring of 2012.

E19 Liz at 7am at a Walmart across from my hotel while in Detroit for work. She was the only elite in the store. Still the only time I ever saw her at retail.

Elite Diesel for me too. It was several series after it's release, and I walk into my local Target, and it was right on the peg there, and I quickly snatched it up. Never saw before or since.

I found the basic Booker T and blue Zack Ryder at Big Lots about a month before they showed up at other retailers, and as far as finding oldies goes, when B22 started showing up I found a B16 Warrior at TRU, it was the only basic figure they had left, either someone hid it or scalpasaurus bought too many and returned it.

Mine would be: All of E17 at Kmart for $11.99 each including like 5 Mankinds . Snagged one if everyone besides Kelly Kelly and now regret it
Saw E18 Taker at a target once and passed at target
Saw Liz multiple times and past at target
And picked up Shad at Kmart a month or so ago mint in box, then returned it because I didn't know who he was nor did I want him

So the same week j ordered e20 Christian from ringside I walk into kmart and find an entire case of elite 13. I had skipped on fb edge so many times before and regretted the hell out of it once I saw Christian. I could Believe how lucky I was. If all that wasn't enough, the elites were on. Sale that week for 12.99. It was a great day.

Found all of elite 7 a year ago at hamleys.
They had like billions of everyone. But they were £21 each so I only picked up hornswoggle and David hart smith. Regret not picking up HBK and HHH.

E11 Punk. I found him hanging all by his lonesome on a peg at Wal-Mart...almost a year after he was originally released. I just assumed it was put there for me by Satan in order to draw me back into collecting wrestling figures. And it worked. Thanks Lucifer!
