Hey guys. I have been going to the local walmart (2 of them), ToysR'Us, and Target, pretty much everyday for the last two weeks looking for Elite Series 41 to be released. No luck, everytime I go. And I'm getting sick of checking everyday. Even the shelves are pretty much empty, but never get restocked.
My question is. You know how DVDs and music albums usually get released on a Tuesday at most stores, do WWE figures get released on a specific day of the week, like DVDs do, at Walmart, TRU, and Target, etc.?
There might already be a thread on this, if so, let me know, and this can get deleted.
Thanks.

No... they get shipment aND they put it out.
This is why I buy online. The time, effort and money wasted going to stores even twice a week stacks up.

I don't know, but ask the store because I found elite 40 and 41 at the TRU sale that gives you 40% off  . |

You just have to go check or call the morning after they get their trucks in, which will usually be a couple times a week. Distribution in the US is pretty random, but I think the west coast gets stuff first then gradually over about a month the stock reaches through east coast. Like I know my TRU gets trucks Tues night and Fri night so I check, Wed and Sat, but your store could be different. My TRU did get 3 cases of Elite 41 on Wed in WI

No not really I have one target that gets some in when the stock gets to under 10 that's about it, I was at wm yesterday and the guy brought 4 brand new boxes for me and they were mixed with everything from 33 to 41 in one box so it's real crazy

I've been told Target has shipments being stocked prior to opening M-W-F TRU I find best on Saturday morning right as they open. Also Wednesday's have worked well for me there too. But the key is to be first one outside the doors at open because trust me others have the same idea.

It depends on how busy your target is, but most of them get stuff every night, just not necessarily toys. |

They do, it's and around my area it's whenever the heck they feel like finally working.

Only if the toy company puts a street date on the box. Mattel and Hasbro usually only do that for movie based Toy lines.

Wouldn't you know it guys. I just decided to go to the TRU during my lunch break, and there it was, the Elite Series 41. I noticed that they put out the E41, but at first couldn't see any Finn Balor's. Honestly, they only had one of each '1-2-3 Kid', 'Dean Ambrose', and 'Terry Funk'. After a little digging around, found the Balor, in perfect condition. Was so happy. Then, on top of that, TRU has a "buy 1 get 40% off the other" sale on Elites. So I just got the E41 Balor and Funk for $33. Only thing that would of been better was if they had another Balor and had a Lita.
But talked to one of the managers, and he said another truck coming in and I can call him, and he'd put a couple a side for me. Boom.
Happy Easter!!!

There's no set dates, but there are set days of the week that trucks come in. Of course, that's no guarantee they'll get in what you want, but it might be worth finding out which days that is to help narrow down when you check on things.
