This is getting ridiculous. We are now on Series 59 but stores are now getting figures from 40-43. Shouldn’t all of the figures from these sets have come and gone and only be available on the secondary market. When Elite 40 was released it was impossible to find. Now it has showed up twice recently years after it was supposed to be out. So we should expect the sets being released this year showing up again in two years. Stores were backlogged around E36, and that problem seemed pretty common nationwide at Targets and Walmarts. If stores don't need restocked, the big box companies aren't ordering product. Most Targets and Walmarts never got E40-43, which probably accounts for around 5-10k cases of product per series that went unsold. Eventually those figures get dumped on discount retailers like Marshall's, Ollie's, 5 Below, etc so Mattel can recoup as much profit as possible. I think the major retailers got their supply chain back in order around E46/7, so it's not likely to happen on this scale again. But there will always be some quantity of figures that end up at Big Lots, Marshall's, etc months after they're in stores. Mattel doesn't print wide-release figures on a made to order basis, so the figures are produced, they sell as many cases as possible at full price, and the rest sold for whatever they can get for them down the road.

Would love to see e53 pop up at Ollie's or Five Below. I never saw the heath Slater at retail so that would be nice. My Ollies just got in E53 for 7.99 and a bunch of Basic 56.

I found Elite 40 at my Five Below. I told my buddy and he found series 42 at his I was able to pick up a few myself at Five Below near me. ...That shelf layout almost looks like the one at mine, is yours in Bronx, New York by any chance?

I’ve checked two and only seen a lone Umaga. May hit another one over the weekend. I was able to pick up Warcraft Garona. So that was a win and I appreciate the heads up, intentional or not.
I did see at least 20 Cena’s at the one store. They didn’t even have the shelf space to contain them all. Shame it wasn’t that DM Jericho so I could load up on belts.

Definitely check Ollie's if you have one in your town.
I was just at one that had Elite 53 (Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Miz and Big E) and all of basic 68B and basic 72.
Elites are 7.99 and basics 5.99

Finally found some after checking every few days since the news broke. They had Bret, Neidhart, Del Rio, Joe, Kofi, and Owens. Wanted The Nasty Boys, but did end up getting Del Rio.

Action figures for five dollars each, what a concept! lol I feel like I've seen something like that in my younger days. Reminds me of the days when Kenner/Hasbro had the DC License

Picked up Sami Zayn w/NXT Title and Kofi Kingston (was gonna grab Xavier Woods but he was out of stock, gonna get him when he's back in stock). I also got a few extra John Cena Defining Moments from there for the purpose of trading (along with extra HHH and HBK WrestleMania Elites that I got elsewhere).
