so I don't know what's more frustrating that I went there the day before and the person completely lied to me cuz they didn't know how to do their job or that the person who was there And did do their job had to bring out the same ones that have been there for 4 months They DO THEIR JOB! The problem is people like you have to make a scene about it being a peg warming set. The stores do not pick what series they want, they simply just get autofilled orders of figures in. If its a basic wave, it'll just be a basic sku, same with HOF having their own sku, elites, etc. Employees at retail do not get paid enough, nor the respect they deserve when people make a scene and act like its their fault they don't have a wave that literally just popped up at retail. These people, which most of the time have NO IDEA what wwe figures are, let alone half the crap thats out in todays stores, but they try. Though some employees can't be interested in helping, thats understandable, but sometimes, they have things they are working on, or have to do and don't have time to check. no scene was made as I said the target really nice I'm there all the time I'm respectful and cool I'm not like everybody else or people that just want what they want and as far as the Hall of Fame series go as I said I only picked up what I needed I left behind full sets and extras so I didnt just go gobble everything up and ship them away but everything I did Ship away I didn't do for a profit I did to help collectors for trades down the road when they can find what we can't

I have yet to not see at least 2 of every figure at retail from elite 25 until now, and I have a stressful full time job, girlfriend and pet. Rsc is a last resort for me because after tax and shipping exclusive hbk cost me $36, I don't go to retail unless it's easy for me to go look and I use my brain. Also target employees don't care about wrestling dolls just like they wouldn't care if some random house wife wants to know why the target across town had grey hand towels and this one doesn't not crapping on target In my head line it says rsc is better than retail and in my experience I have gotten stuff from RSC way quicker than I've ever found it At retail... this Is an opinion thing so there is no right or wrong The thread title says "This is why Rsc is better than retail," but you don't say why RSC is. You just outlined your recent trips to specific Targets, how Target didn't have an Emma when you were there, and how there was excessive stock of shelf warmers. Is your explanation about you couldn't find Emma and how distribution near Austin, Texas the reason why RSC is better? We all know that Ringside has their initial orders over-nighted from China directly which is why they're a premium price. Is the premium price really worth having the figure a month or two early? I don't think it matters that I had E34 Cena before retail & two weeks before Ringside. Now that Cena is in my collection, it doesn't matter when I got him. Ringside doesn't have B49 Ryback, which your Target has five of. Target didn't have B49 Emma, but Ringside does. Ryback and Reigns I actually need to complete the B49 wave, so your Target actually seems pretty good for me. Ringside doesn't have DM Sting, but apparently Las Vegas Wal-Mart does. Ringside's Emma is $5 plus tax and shipping more than retail. For me, retail is better because the prices are cheaper and I'll eventually find the figure. Also, I wouldn't be so curious as to why you think RSC is better especially since you got to cherry pick several Targets in your area for the Hall of Fame / Horsemen sets way before and easier than others. It does just seem like since you couldn't get what you wanted, when you wanted it, you're upset.

again I said frustrated not upset and the frustrating thing is is that you guys are more mad that I help other people then anything like why are we in a society where when somebody is helpful two other people on the forum you put him on blast..no offense heroes martyrs but you've never had a positive, to say anything I post ever and I've never had a negative thing to say to you nor will I because that's not what this is about this forum is about talking with other people and helping and yeah you can have negative things to say it but you had a negative things to say on everything I posted ever as I've said from beginning don't click Open and then you won't have any problems seriously though I know it's not trolling but at this point all you do is troll my posts even though you have what you consider valid points there mostly mean disrespectful valid points and I sit here and take them because there's no reason to fight with you over the interweb lol but at some point I have to be like stop clicking my things open or have something positive to say one time that's all in have a nice day I'm sure I'll see you hating on me in another post soon lol but as I said was never mad at the target frustrated that one person didn't care and then another person cared it's kind of hit or miss just like retails distribution

With the way Mattel's distribution is anymore, you're better off buying from RSC On the contrary, it's been much easier lately for me to find figures in stores like Target and Toys R Us. Found Basic 49 the other day and Elite 34 and 35. Here is an example to order E35 Orton from Ringside in total it would cost $27.63, if I buy from my local Toys R Us it would cost $18.49. That's a $9.14 dollar difference. Don't get me wrong Ringside is awesome but sometimes I can get better deals else where.

It's not really Target's fault that figures warm pegs and the fact that they warm pegs in mass retail is no reflection on RSC or any other online retailer. This all comes down to supply and demand, which is a combination of Mattel and the consumer's fault. Mattel is either making too many of the peg warmers (Which was true of Sheamus at one point) or the people who should be buying them simply are not. I can't really fault the customer though because some people just don't want certain figures or multiples of the same figure and so there is nothing you can do.
I look at all the Junk Yard Dog figures currently taking peg space at Targets and Walmarts here. Is it the kids fault for not knowing their wrestling history? Absolutely not. Someone at Mattel was supposed to hit the "1 per case" button but done gone and messed up by hitting the "100 per case" button. I mean, why someone like Paige- who is on Raw, Smack Down! and PPV's regularly- gets less of a unit per case release than someone who died before most of the kids who buy WWE figures were even born just makes no sense to me, but hey, that's on Mattel.

Because I don't agree with you is not trolling. Don't accuse me of something I don't do because you don't understand the meaning of a word. I am not mad that you help other people, not sure where you got that from. I did mention Target was good to you due to you finding a lot of figures to help people out. Not once have I ever said I was mad, don't make stuff up. By me pointing out something that you did is not trolling. Just because I don't come to your posts and call you brother doesn't mean I have anything against you. Go through my posts and you'll see that you're not special and that I interact with a lot of people on here. And yes, sometimes those interactions don't go with what the people want. Likewise, sometimes people don't like what I say, while others often do. I help people out on this forum all the time, you're not the only one who does it. Stop making it seem like you're the only one setting an example, we all do it, I just don't keep repeating that I do it, nor do the people who help me out. Also too, if you don't want people having a conversation or debate with you, don't post on a means of communication that allows for two-sided interaction. Every interaction you have on this board isn't always going to be positive in the sense that someone calls you brother or poster of the year because you bought them a figure. When you create a thread, people are able to say they don't agree and can prove why, its not being negative towards you. We go through the same thing every time, once I don't agree with you, you start calling me a jerk or troll repeatedly and unwarranted, and exaggerate about how I'm bashing you. You never allow anyone to disagree with you or have a different stance. If you can prove that I was being mean to you in this thread (which I wasn't) and I wasn't simply just showing a different stance (which I was), then I'll by all means apologize. Until then, stop playing the victim and stop accusing me of stuff I don't do.

I order all the wrestling figures I require from Smyths here in Ireland. I don't think Ive been to a Smyths in quite some time.....this is infinitely better than RSC for me. Shipping is a killer

I'm not seeing in your post how RSC is better than Target? Also, aren't these all the Targets that have had the Hall of Fame/Horsemen sets that you've been buying for everyone that has been hard to find for most? Because they've now not had something you want you're going to crap on them? B49 has just slowly started to come into the stores. Coincidentally, @barrettbarrage texted me and picked me up an Emma less than an hour ago from Target. Also, to touch on what bootxparty said, its Target, its not WWE Toy House Junction, they may be imperfect or spotty when it comes to stocking figures. Also, the employees, unless they're WWE fans themselves could care less, because I'm sure Nerf/Lego/WWE are all the same to them. In fact, I haven't seen any store in the US really stock figures the way Smyths does in the UK. Its like people in the Sting/Wal-Mart thread, take a deep breath, you'll find your figures. I have yet to not see at least 2 of every figure at retail from elite 25 until now, and I have a stressful full time job, girlfriend and pet. Rsc is a last resort for me because after tax and shipping exclusive hbk cost me $36, I don't go to retail unless it's easy for me to go look and I use my brain. Also target employees don't care about wrestling dolls just like they wouldn't care if some random house wife wants to know why the target across town had grey hand towels and this one doesn't There's no such thing as patience these days. I'm really busy between work, my kids and house work, so I don't "hunt" because my time to me is precious, but I've yet to miss anything since series 1. E11 and the series w/ Trish and Rey were probably the most scarce. In the past I would order from them, but I'm done kicking myself in the ass after ordering from them only to find them at retail. I live in Austin too, and we sometimes fall behind, but eventually get them. RSC is cool, but I refuse to pay more than $3 over retail per figure after shipping. I don't care about having them first or months before retail. I did put in orders earlier today on 3 damaged packaging items and am only paying $7 over retail after shipping. That said I still prefer retail

I have seen 3 cases of B49 at local targets so far; 2 had Emmas. There should be 4 more case hitting my area tomorrow. Meet me in the classifieds tomorrow.

I've had Emma and summer Rae for 3 months. Bought from rsc. Retail is pointless unless you have some free time on your hands or just happen to be in the area. If I see another basic cesaro cluttering my Walmart I'm gonna drown my goldfish!

I have seen B48 at the TRU by me but that was only one case, all the others have been Walmart in two different states (MN and WI). Then again, my Targets put Basic sets out about three months after they hit RSC

I like RSC for exclusives. I like SYW surprise points for single purchases since free to ship to store, got Emma for $7.50. I like TRU because I earn points and $16.99 for elites. I don't care about getting mine first, I care about getting what I can when I can. If I miss something, just means I wasn't suppose to get it. If I pay a little extra, means I wanted it badly. No one shops with RSC exclusively, so stop making a case that it's somehow better than all the other resources at your disposal. Oh yeah, wipe your nose... You got some brown on it.

ANd it's not just one or two stores, it's all over. Never did see the basic rusev, or Aliciea fox, or Booker t, or Brie in stores because other waves were clogging the shelves or they got in a case and they were picked over even though there's a fresh case on the shelves when the store opens...go figure . If it's a figure i really want and know its gonna be hell to find, I just go online...ie Summer and Emma. Others I can wait on, or dont really need, I just take my chance at retail. good luck in your quest
