Here is a reason Target is staying in WWE retail hell I decided yesterday I was going to grab 2 sets of Horsemen four packs. At $15 each I was just going to try and swap around some parts, whatever. They are cheap enough to try and use the pieces to customize, etc Get up to the register and they are $45 again!! The woman said well they're on sale! (Usually $50) So they keep bouncing between $12.50, $15, $25, $45 and full price. Ridiculous The $15 sale ended on 10/29, the $45 sale ends around Black Friday

Went to Toys R Us today and was pleasantly surprised to find there was a new WWE figure display cube! Until I realized all it had was older figures, mostly Elite 41. That's seriously all my TRU has had all year when it comes to Elites. How many Rybacks and Funks and cop Ambroses does a guy need? And how many cases of this assortment did TRU buy? They're gonna be clearancing 1-2-3 Kids for the next five years at this rate. At least it'll give some folks a chance to finally get Balor, but this was already beyond ridiculous.

I saw that cube today at my TRU and it was full of E41, the BP set with Prime Time Players/Kidd & Cesaro/Cena & Owens and that John Cena in turquoise figure/DVD set. Figures like BP41 Ric Flair/Charlotte and Elite Legends Ultimate Warrior I had to buy them on Amazon over the summer.

I saw that today too. It's hard to believe they still have more of both those series available after most stores have been getting just those sets all year. Has anybody found the Battlepack series with the vaudevillians yet?

Las Vegas is literally a desert of NO NEW FIGURES! It makes me mad to know that we get practically get nothing.

Elite 41 has almost exclusively been the only set at Toysrus this year. I can't believe how very little variety has been available this year. There's been about 25 different characters at all my usual stores and that has been it.

They still make UFC figures? I haven't seen them since 2010 Yes, and Toys R Us gives them more shelf space than Mattel WWE, DC Multiverse and Transformers combined I haven't seen a ufc figure at TRU in like 3 years.

Hell seems to be freezing over. After a long drought, I've managed to come across E45 at two separate Walgreens. Picked up Seth, Roman and Bubba so far
Seen a few E43 at Wal Marts Still no E44 or Legends yet though
Maybe things will get better sooner than later at retail

rather than start a new topic, i guess i'll ask it here since it's kinda related: have any targets started stocking elites or basics again? i thought for sure they'd be back on the shelves by now.

No But your answer from a lot of people on here is 'wait until Black Friday' or 'wait until resets' LOL

The people who stock will think they sold out and re-stock with new figures

The people who stock will think they sold out and re-stock with new figures That won't work at Walmart. Maybe some other stores, but Walmart is only gonna order what their computer tells them and nothing else. Also, you should leave those out and maybe some parent who doesn't know better grabs them on black Friday.

What he said.
Items are all listed in the store's inventory system. When one sells, it is deleted from the computer. When you hide them, all you are doing is making them less available for someone to buy.
Once enough items sell, they are replaced on the shelves with either new items (remember when that used to happen?) or re-stock of the same thing that was there before (which always happens now).
