congrats. Your toy section has defined area for wrestling figures. I can;t tell half the time if I'm in the toy aisle or not at my walmart. I mean theres toys thrown everywhere and once you get past the empty coffee cups, bags of opened doritos, lunchmeat that's been sittin out for days, and kitty litter, you might be lucky to find the latest t shirt series hidden under a pile of foam belts. And this is eveyday!

My store has no elites since 30, BO2014 basics, Slam City figures, and Superstrikers. We did get the new shirt series thougn a little while ago, but those are all gone. |

Yet another reason for online purchases. The figure you want is always in stock somewhere....Just depends on how much you want to pay for it. This is why toy aisles suck. Since about 2004ish, toy aisles started shrinking due to online sales increasing. There's nothing anyone can fo about it, we live in a ear where you can do anything from a cell phone anywhere. Why leave home? I wish a billionaire would buy FAO-Shwartz back from Toys R Us and revive one of the greatest toy stores ever. |

It's cold as ass outside....I don't want to leave my house unless I have to. If someone is willing to deliver what I want to my doorsteps, I will take advantage of that every time. Plus, I live in the middle of nowhere. There is no Wal-mart, K-mart, Target, or TRU in my town. Only a Shopko which rarely has a WWE figure. So, in order to hunt for wrestling figures I have to drive 70 miles one way. Online is the way to go in my situation. |

I went to K-Mart last week and they had ZERO elites. Not even a peg warmer. The only thing they had were the DM Hogans (which I picked up). I went to Wally World right after and it's the opposite of this thread lol -- they were stocked beyond belief with Elite 32. I picked up the whole set minus Sin Cara (already own him, but wish I picked it up due to the new Hunico tat).
I was hunting for Rollins/Reigns but I made out with Rey Mysterio's flashback and others, so it's not that bad lol. I'll try Target on the weekend.

For those who live in the middle of no where ( BFE) onlibe shopping is a must, and understandable. But, in major cities or shopping hot spots, it has killed the physical market. Hense the steadily decreasing toy aisles. |

That place had lots of figures, all the time! KB Toys was a totally different type of magic. In my area, KB was the only place where I could buy current toys and 90's toys that they never sent back. I bought a CS1 HBK and a Skeleton Warriors figure from 1994. At that time, the figure was about 11-12 years old. No where else could you get that. |

a lot of stores are also in the middle of a new floor set, and have let the isle dry up. both local walmarts are totally dry, but have the new set print out taped to the slat.

I loved being able to find old Power Rangers, TMNT, WCW OSFTM, X-men, and Ronin Warriors in the early 2000s. |
