My walmart if FILLED with this series (that came out herein DECEMBER) and so many DM Stone Colds... That's almost 7 months now with NO new main line elites... We got HOF 2 and the Network spotlight figs but I'm starting to get fed up here. This is killing my love for wwe mattel figs. IMO Ringmaster is nothing to be excited about AT ALL, even though I'll get it (I'm just not really looking forward to it).
I've missed Rude, Umaga, I.R.S., 1-2-3 Kid, Terry Funk, Lita, Nasty Boys...I'm sure we'll miss the Hart Foundation. At this rate we won't get any figs until x-mas! Anyone have any luck? E-Bay is just too expensive now with the exchange rate and import fees and people just being greedy and overpricing figs...
Side question - Does anyone else pre make spaces for upcoming figs in their collection when they clean them (or whatever)? Looking at these empty spaces month after month is getting annoying.

Honestly here in the states its been really dodgy since e39. E39 was in TRU and Walmart, e40 was in some Walgreens and Walmarts, e41 seemed to hit only TRU and Walgreens, and e42 Ive only seen in FYE. So youre not alone. Theres still tons of e32,33,35,36,38 in various stores...

I'm in Ontario. No sets after E39 have hit the country yet. I bought the sets after E39 online. E39 was ordered WAYYYYY too much by stores.

I live in sudbury , Ontario and e39 killed any hope of more elites.
I don't think our walmarts will ever get another elite again and t.r.u doesn't get any elite series figures either anymore thanks to elite 39

No, for I believe Elite 39 was a Canada exclusive. I swear we got every single figure produced for that line. Ugh.

In North Dakota and we are stuck on E39 as well. No new elites or basics for that matter.

Might want to check amazon.ca for E40. They still have some from the set. Other than that, I hope we see something next month since E39s are slowly dying out.

NOTHING since E39. So sad. My local Walmart is not so bad and is down to maybe 5-6 but I've been hinting and seen literally 40-50 E39 in one store. Caved and bought funk online. Was really hoping to find Balor but clearly that is not happening...

Where are you from, I have never seen a DM figure at any of the Walmarts in my area (Southern Ontario) and TRU is loaded with the first Sting DM which has been rotting shelves since Christmas. TRU has had at least 3 or 4 sales since then and these things have not moved at all, it does not appear as though Sting is very popular in Canada, not sure why they purchased so many cases?!
Does Mattel force retailers to place a minimum order or buy X amount of cases of each set or can Wal-Mart or TRU purchase as much as they want?!
My thoughts exactly, I don't bother going to eBay at all any more, the level of Greed has soared on there in the past year or so. When I first started collecting almost 2 years ago the prices were reasonable but now they are just way too crazy. I hope some day they come down to reasonable levels again but I doubt it. Good thing Mattel is starting to re-release older figures, I hope that over time they re-release some more of the popular figures from the legends line (Ricky Steamboat, Bam Bam Bigelow, Iron Sheik).
I agree, I picked up E40 Rude from an ebay seller at a good price- $29.99 vs $28.25 retail price (this is total price including taxes).

Here in Toronto, I haven't seen anything past Elite 39. Hell, I haven't even seen DM Stone Cold.

I agree, I picked up E40 Rude from an ebay seller at a good price- $29.99 vs $28.25 retail price (this is total price including taxes). Amazon actually has them now. They sell them at retail price too!

I live in the northeast USA and the only place I've seen e40 or e41 was at Walgreens. Everything else is e39 or earlier sets like e36. I just buy figs from rsc now.

I'm in Ontario and every store has multiples of each figure in Elite 39. But I have found DM Stone Cold, all the network spotlights and every basic series. Yesterday i found basic 60 they had two of everyone in the set. Also have found multiples of battle packs 38and 39

Well if anyone is desperate for a stone cold, he's 29.99 at WM or we can trade I suppose (although all I need is vader, hollywood rock & hof trish), P.M. me if need be. What's strange is that I got a raincheck for GAB Sting in January from TRU cuz he was in the system... but the fig got recalled cuz of the boots - which were fixed - but it never came out. I thought for sure we'd get it... I'm in Ontario too btw, o-town.
We all sound like Cosby accusers lol, all got the same story. Sad. e39 is the biggest plague series since legends 2. Yikes!

To be honest, I think the 3 flashbacks per wave is a bad idea.
Bulldog, Sid, and Godfather are clogging up stores everywhere in CT, but there's no Dolphs or Stings in sight. I also haven't seen Zayn or Tyson, but I've seen IRS and Rude everywhere. Elite 42 has moved pretty fast and I believe Elite 43 will too.
I think the reason Koko got switched, is because they stopped doing 3 flashbacks per line. Same reason Del Rio was spliced into Elite 43 instead of waiting for Elite 44. To be honest, I'm worried that Elite 44B is going to ROT on the shelves, except for Jericho, who will be impossible to find..

I gave up wasting my time looking for figures in stores a long time ago, it's a complete waste of time especially in Canada, I buy all from ringside.

Yeah E39 are horrible shelf-warmers at every Walmart in my area...So sick of looking at them. I'm not sure why so many were ordered.
It's disappointing because it seemed we were getting things pretty consistently here for once, but ever since E39 has been around, there's been nothing.
TRU has the Network figures, so I'm hoping to see the Ringmaster soon.
