Just went figure hunting today for elite 36 stardust still eludes me!  Didn't see anything went to target and meijers. Only good thing I seen at either store was a marvel legends bulldozer. Passed on it though. |

I have had problems finding some of the Diva's this year. Never saw Alicia Fox, Brie, Walmart AJ Lee or Eva Marie.

I feel your pain, I don't see much by me either.  The NXT first time in the line guys and the divas are almost impossible to find at retail. |

That's exactly why I have pretty much given up hunting in stores other than the HOF series. So much wasted time and gas. Whatever I find in store is just icing on the cake. 90% of my purchases are through RSC or Amazon.

The most time I've spent looking for a figure was Sting and DDP.

I agree 100% hunting stinks lately. I've always loved the excitement of finding a figure on a peg. Takes me back to hunting for GI joes and he man figures. I've taken to online however. If I go to Walmart to look for that damn entrance hogan one more time and come up empty I'm gonna burn the store down. Lol

Lately I've been buying more figures from Amazon and the Mattel Shop, and it saves a lot of wasted time. But it still can be annoying "hunting" for figures when the good ones are always out of stock or being scalped.

All of you seem to be having such a hard time finding what ever it is in-store. I live in New Zealand and they only stocked up to Elite Series 7 and we haven't gotten anything since 2011. I have no choice but to pay at least double the price for each figure now including shipping.

Figure hunting as your sole way of acquiring figures would be frustrating.
However, if you do purchase online and don't really worry about the store and you go check sometime they have something decent, or new you may not have bought quite yet, it's still a fun little rush to find it in a store.

I only buy in store.
Never order online, except a few upcoming figures i dont want to miss.
I just enjoy physically finding figures, has always been a big part of collecting anything.

I've finally given up on even checking my local stores. It's now only Prime, eBay, or RSC for me. Your stores must suck... |
