I get angry with myself when I go hunting and the only elites are the rack of tugboats I see time after time.

My target got 1 case of mainline elites all year Elite 50. Tru has been ok this year but they didn't get Elite 46,47a, 48 or any 52 yet. My Wal-mart got at least 1 of every case of elites this year except for 47a. But most of them just got stocked once maybe twice. K-mart got 47a, 48 and 49 but nothing past that and only a case of each. Way to much focus on store exclusives these days.

All my Tru's just got E50 in. Walmart recently got E51. Target is still on nothing but Tugboat and Macho. This is EVERY store.

My target is filled with Big E’s Tugboats and Regals. They were there for last Christmas. Not to mention vaudevillians Battlepacks

Around me Walmart has had a bunch of TNF elites & basics restocked like crazy. Then E51 was getting stocked in August & early September. This month E52 was stocked. Now that the Survivor Series display box with mixed previous elites has hit, I don’t see E52 getting restocked soon.
TRU has been stuck on E50 since July(?) with lots of Spotlight elites from Ringmaster to Dean Ambrose. Also plenty of Andre & Isaac Yankem‘s to warm.
Target Plenty of HOF elite 2 packs, HOF Tito’s, a few HOF elite 4 & NXT figures. Lots of DM Macho Man’s. Stuck on a mix between E47.5-50.
Walgreens haven’t had any elite series since June(?). Lots of exclusive elite DX HBK & HHH’s.

My Walmart has been getting plenty of regular Elites in. On a fairly regular basis too. Target goes through dry spells every few months. And the flood gates are open the rest of the time. Inconsistent, but nothing worth me getting upset.

I just found a fresh case of Elite 50 at a Meijer near me but I already bought some of those for less money during the RSC Halloween sale. I’ve seen a couple figures from 51 and 52 at TRU/Walmart, etc.
But I still have yet to see a single figure from TNF Series 3.

My TRU got in plenty of AJs but besides that theres just Lugers and Regals as far as the eye can see.

I haven't counted on stores since Jakks.

My TRU in the UK is shambles, haven't had a basic series in ages, still on the Bella's battle pack and full of Stevie Ray's and Sycho Sids. And sadly I can't see it changing because they want all that stock to go and unless they put it down to £5 it won't go. Even Network HHh which is £5 is still clogging shelves. I then go to B&M which is like TJ Maxx for US people and they have tonnes of Elite 47 (The Ascension set) every where a set our TRU never got in because it's full of useless figures.

My closest Wal Mart has been on point the last year or so. Got in E44, E45, skipped E46, E47A & B, never got E48 and WM33 Series shipper, and then multiple cases of E49, E50, E51,E52. TNF3’s have been rolling in too. Only thing I’ve had a real problem with is Retro Series 2
Of course Target and TRU are horrible. No consistency at all with WWE
I’ve noticed though out of the 4 lines I collect, this Wal Mart is great with WWE Elites and Marvel Legends. Horribly inconsistent with Star Wars Black 6” and DC Multiverse (Luckily Target picks up the slack in those two lines for me)

Once I saw every store was getting exclusives I knew the regular line would suffer. The good/bad thing is that we are seeing elites at stores for cheap. People are finding elites at Biglots and TJX stores for cheap. It's good for people trying to buy figures on the cheap but bad because this is what causes toy lines to be discontinued.

This is a concern to me. Especally when the Marshalls near me is selling E51 for $8 each and the closest Big Lots has E47b for $10 each. But I can go to TRU and get Tugboat or Big E Elites for $20.

It's cool to get cheap figures but Toy companys dont put time, effort, and resources into losing money.

They just want figures and don’t even think of that side of things. Then again, I don’t think us getting cheap figs is an issue. Speaking for myself, I order off of RSC, keep updated on new series, and buy exclusives. I’m sure you’re similar, so we actually support the line regardless.
