To check Popfindr and see an increase by a cases worth and driving 7 minutes on your day off with nothing else to do. Then asking an employee, only for them to say “Yup. Let me open that box for you”. I know. The struggle is real. I’m definitely feeling it. Dude why are you taunting people at this point? I don’t understand what your gain is at this point? It’s one thing to put people in their place but you are just taking it further than it needs to go at this point? |

man this thread went downhill fast. seriously though, anyone who's gone through this thread should have an understanding of two things. 1. a LOT of people want these figures for various reasons. and 2. posting pictures of your multiples of each, or talking about how you've found a bunch and are basically going to flip them for cash is just sh*tty. i dont care if thats "murica" or "you put in the work". there's no real need to do it. (in response to others being too salty or sensitive about it is a different story. everything in context) on topic, at this point im perfectly content with waiting for the 2nd Elites of both Black and Drew....you guys really think these are going to be the only ones? people were pretty pumped about the first elite Roode in the NXT wave, where it was selling for a good price above cost if you could find it, and a few months later his EG was announced. There's going to be MORE Elite Drew McIntyre's ffs. And Black too. I think everyone is just getting caught in this ridiculous hype and letting the whole "i want it NOW!" thing take over your life. McIntyre I'm not bothered about and of course there will be more Black figs down the line. Here's the thing though... Look how long it took for this one to be released - who knows how long it'll take for them to get another one out. Do you really want to wait another year for one? I don't. Why couldn't they have just kept him in elite 60. It's a moot point however, because you're in the US, you'll eventually find one anyway. i completely get your point at being upset because you're overseas and its a nightmare getting figures there. honestly if i found more than 1 black at a store i 100% would get one for you and ship it at my cost. i would almost guarantee we're gonna see another Elite Drew by the end of this year, I bet they already have one in production and we'll probably see the final piece by SDCC...Black? not sure, but there's no way they only planned ONE. for me personally ill get one of him when i get it, id never pay a "scalper" price for any figure. |

Giving a different outlook on the situation, if you will. A positive outlook. Nothing to gain. Sorry that my story doesn’t put my life into shambles. I mean, I did have to drive 7 minutes. Would’ve been 5, but I hit every damn red light on the way! |

i dont understand why some targets are getting new cases of Series 3 in like, those awful rusev and reigns figures should have been cleared out for $7 MONTHS AGO take the loss, and order a crap ton of the new series because they are ALL going to sell extremely well. retailers are  ing clueless. The only thing I can think of is that the stores in those distribution center’s regions don’t move as much product as other areas so those Distribution centers are still sitting on cases of Series 3. |

And nobody cares that you can’t find figures and are getting all pissy over it. My haul so far (hopefully more to come!):  OMG How dare you post your NXT 4 & Dunne findings, this is outrageous! Ban this Man! Ban him i say! Thou have committed such atrocity and damaging acts to thy Kingdom known as WrestlingFigs Forums. Be cautious wayward being, as now you are the target of retaliation, outcries of anger and potential assassination attempts, all to expose the greed of which you posess... Shame on you Sir, Shame! This land will never be the same again, your infamy will live on well past your time, and WE the noble citizens of this great land, will work to ensure such a being like you never steps foot here again! Did it for the lols. |

Let me open that box for you”. I know. The struggle is real. I’m definitely feeling it. That's not how it goes for us all. Feel blessed and count your blessings. I've checked every target around me for weeks now. Endless phone calls and drives. I even have access to my one specific Targets order dates and system information. I'm yet to get anything besides a Dain on the site. Even if I were to find them all I wouldn't sit here shoving it in the faces of those who are unable to get these for whatever reason. Feel blessed, not holier than thou just because your store is better than ours. |

Sooo... Popfindr still shows 9 on hand for the NXT TCIN number. Gonna swing over after work in a bit.
I’m sure the numbers are off, or they’ll be gone when I get there in 15 minutes. Worth a shot.

Would now be a bad time to mention that I want an Aleister Black, saw an Aleister Black, and passed on an Aleister Black? You're a monster xD Decisions had to be made. It was him or Dunne, and between the two, I think I'll get another crack at Aleister before I do at Dunne. |

Seriously are you my long lost twin brother that I never knew about ? I am never gonna get aleister or McIntyre because I refuse to buy the 3 that have been rotting at my local target for over a year. No one asked for this figure, it has no belts or accessories worth buying. It may be the worst mattel elite ever made. Nxt rusev is the new Tito Santana peg clogger. So just for fun I took a pic at my store. 
Yep that's right 1 peg for nxt elites, just one.
you target, you mattel.

Walk into Target about 25 minutes ago, right before closing. Walk to the aisle and I see 2 Rusevs and an Ember Moon and 2 Killian Dain on the ONE peg. So either the count was off, or someone beat me to them. With the peg being full, I was curious. So I ask an employee if they could check the back. Thanks to Popfindr and an electronics employee checking the back and coming out with an opened box...  I assume the associate stocked the peg and went “Well, guess I’ll put these in the stockroom”. Either way, another huge score! Keep searching guys! Keep checking for jumps on Popfindr. Talk to employees. |

That only applies to those in the US though. For us second class citizens in the UK, a picture is the closest some of us'll get to these ing things. man this thread went downhill fast. seriously though, anyone who's gone through this thread should have an understanding of two things. 1. a LOT of people want these figures for various reasons. and 2. posting pictures of your multiples of each, or talking about how you've found a bunch and are basically going to flip them for cash is just sh*tty. i dont care if thats "murica" or "you put in the work". there's no real need to do it.

Seriously though, I can't believe nobody on here will help you out, if you're struggling with these. You're certainly one of the more well-thought of members on here - someone's bound to hook you up, mate. |

This thread is too much. I think I'm done counting rounds lol. I'll just continue to enjoy looking at my Black, McIntyre, and Dunne all lined up on my display.

The typical shelf space for the NXT elites at Target is 3. Meaning one peg with 3 items on it. I really hope those of us who are having trouble can get our hands on these soon. Without it being rubbed in our faces nonetheless |

Also, I've got to say it's one thing having Targets, but I feel for those who have to drive miles to get to one. I couldn't imagine having to make a 2 hour round trip to buy a figure - no matter how badly I wanted it. I also want to say, imo, the McIntyre looks pretty silly with his jacket up by his knees - when it should be almost down by his ankles.

Seems like that would be the reason Target would have the website and app lol EDIT: E-mails came in again. Knew I was too late but tested a new strategy. Waiting for the Faves page to update was going nowhere so I tried having the individual figs' pages open and going that route. Now instead of saying the item is sold out, I'm getting a big ol' "product not available" page with no info at all. How do I reset my notifications now lmao |

I dont know good luck
