I hit 6 Wal-Marts today looking for E31. Just missing Jimmy Uso! Good thing the sale is a week long! I hit a Walmart Saturday night - they had 3 Jey Usos..... not a single Jimmy! Are they packing them wrong - or maybe confused parents are accidentally buying doubles? Strange.... that's funny, I went to a Walmart today and they had 4 Jimmys and no Jey. I was thinking people were turned off by the tongue out scan.

This should be the original price for elites, basics at $6. just a suggestion

This should be the original price for elites, basics at $6. just a suggestion No it shouldn't. If they charged $12 for Elites, the amount of paint detail would be virtually nonexistent as well as probably no accessories whatsoever.

They'd be crapty figures indeed. I know the figures seem expensive, but when compared to any other figure line of a similar type, they are pretty comparable.

Now is the perfect time to pickup those elite shelf warmers.

Some scumbag stole the US Title from Dean Ambrose's box and replaced another Ambrose with a basic Punk! Ambrose fans are dirt bags.

I saw the same thing at a Target yesterday with an Elite 28 Triple H. The elite figure had been replaced with the basic figure, and the mask and one sledgehammer were missing.
I just got into collecting WWE recently, and getting figures with the quality and detail of the Usos for $12 each just blows my mind. I know it's a temporary sale, but it's a nice break from the $20 to $25 I've been paying all year for other highly articulated 6" to 7" figures. $7 to $10 for a basic Diva is an absolute steal...when you can actually find them. I found ONE Eva Marie and ONE Natalya between 9 Wal-Marts, 6 Targets, 2 TRUs, and 2 K-Marts.

I've still yet to see a swap. People around here just outright take the figure or accessory.

This is such an amazing sale. Can't believe how much I saved on these latest sets. Wish some Wal Marts would get with the restocking though. Went to one with ZERO elites, really annoying as shopping season ramps up and a sale is going on. A sale which (probably good for us) is not very well advertised or even advertised at all in some toy aisles. But at another location I did find the remnants of Elite 32 and got Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, and Cody. Just wanted the first two, didn't even think I'd get a Cody but hey for 12 bucks might as well join Goldie in the collection.
How nice if we could get them regularly for even close to this price. Wish they could still regularly retail at $15, although I understand the economics.

I swung by Target to get some Starbucks before my meeting and of course I have to check out what they had.
The manager gave the ok to price match, so I got Elite Rocky Mavia and E31 Kane for $12 each.
I'll be checking out Wal-Mart tomorrow to see if they update their stock. I love this sale!

This sale has been a total joke in my area. Between 4 stores I have yet to see anything other than E31 Ambrose and Kane on the shelf since the sale started. One of the stores doesn't have a single Elite to be found. Nothing beats bare shelves with only a month until Christmas. I'd be willing to bet the pegs will be overflowing the day after the sale ends. That tends to be the norm with retail stores in my area when they have sales like this.

Yea, I'm a bit disappointed by the stock during this sale as well.... Since my Walmarts haven't really stocked Elites all year - there wasn't much old stock to choose from. All I really saw was E31, a set which I'm not that crazy about, & E26 Warriors everywhere (which I already had 2 of) - I made the rounds again tonight, and all the three Walmarts in my area have not restocked anything. One has nothing - I don't know how they can justify having empty shelves this close to Christmas.

The restock situation around here has been a grind for sure. Last year, the week leading up to Thanksgiving seemed like both local WalMarts were adding new things to the shelves daily. There have been a couple things added to the pegs this time, but it's all really underwhelming. In the last week:
- One WalMart has added a single case of E30, with the three desirable figures being picked right away. So it's just a bunch of Batista, Ryback, Brock, and E29 Punk. They also added a ton of Basics... Series 40. Why?! - The other WalMart was running low on Elites this weekend, but they've filled the pegs with some random pieces, such as Billy Gunn, Jack Swagger, and Damien Sandow. - Target hasn't added any Elites, but they added Basics... Series 39. C'mon! - Meijer has added E30 finally, but they have basically sabotaged their Basics for the next year by adding repackaged Signature Series figures from earlier this year (Punk, Kane, and Cena).
Basically, things here are getting restocked, yet it's stuff that was out in the first half of 2014. Weird.
