I would give anything to fond older elites at any of my stores. Too many people like wrestling in oklahoma city. Can never find anything more than a year old.

Probably lost in a bay in the back. Happens a lot at my local Targets. Hahaha when I worked there, and a case of figures came in, I would scan them out, go through the box for what I needed and scan them back in. A lot of employees at Target and TRU did the same at night. Some forget to scan them back and they become lost and unfiled in the stockroom to be found years later! I used to do that last year in my TRU work days. Except for I'd scan them, hide the ones I want in the back and then put the other ones on the shelf. I hid a Elite 16 in the back and some nice kid came in specifically looking for a Kevin Nash. So I did what I thought was the noble thing and I got the kid the Kevin Nash I hid. I am not a huge Nash fan and I wanted that kid to be happy. I eventually picked up another one, three months later.

It's amazing to think of the figures I passed on.

Hey Chip if you have a TRU keep checking there. I went to mine (which normally doesn't have much) yesterday and they had 3 sets of the Wyatt's BP.

Heck, one of my Targets still has FOUR E4 Finlays!! No offense but I don't believe any target still has 4 Finlays. None taken. And no offense to you, but I'd REALLY love to hear your explanation as to what I'd have to gain from lying about it. Not trying to start a fight; just genuinely interested. That being said, I happen to have to go there today anyway (taken about 2 hours ago): Don't get me wrong... I WISH that they were gone, because as you can, they've mostly prevented any new Elites from coming in. And they are STILL full price, scanning at $18.99. And sorry boardies, I'm not able to pick these up for anyone. These ARE at the Target in the Hazel Dell district of Vancouver, Washington, if you know of anyone else in the area. Cheers!!

That's crazy. And I'm seeing alot of GD lately. That's a shame. Such an unnecessary and disrespectful thing to say. How about just "damn?"

There's a Kmart somewhere around Auburn, CA that has 2 Series 1 MVPs. So rad finding old figures.

Nice. I never find old elites at stores near me.

Target usually does their audit around this time of year, so it's very possible they were cleaning the backroom and found it. Still, two years is a pretty long time for that to be lost in the back.

If anyone on here is anywhere near this Target would you please PM me about picking this up. This is one of my favorite figures ever but I'm not paying $50+ for it on ebay.
