I keep checking Brickseek and still nothing in stock. I'll check sometime next week. New York City sucks for getting in new figures most of the time.

No notifications in the past day? Usually get one overnight. Had to check to see if they're still active.

I have such a love-hate thing for this. The set is awesome(!), but the hunt is so stressful.
I was lucky enough to find a set last week, but this is the first time in all of the NXT series that I was able to early on. I hope guys like EC3 make it on the main elite line instead of store exclusives.

I hope this series doesn't end up being limited run like the last 3 exclusive series (HOC 3, Flashback 3, FC2).

Went to Target and asked that same dirty, sweaty stock boy to check the back for more figs. I dreaded his return because surely he would sputter out yet another lie about not having them, reeking of the stale rubbermaid containers he surely hid them in. He shambled back to me like a lost mule, his disconsolate demeanor saying it all: There were no more figs in the back. OUTRAGEOUS!!! I gripped his wiry stock boy shoulders and shook him with fervor, like I was shaking smelly, lying bats out of a tree, and beseeched him: "Please! You don't know what a magnificent creature you are! You are capable of so much better than this life of hiding toys from handsome collectors! Dont you want to transcend the station afforded to you by that stained red shirt? It begins by bringing me all the NXT figures you have squirreled away in the back!" "Look man, I dont even work this department, Jonathan is the-" I BACKHANDED HIM THEN AND THERE, BEFORE THE EYES OF GOD AND SUPERMEN. The gall of this peon to deny me my little half naked plastic men! I turned sharply on my heel and stormed away, shooting him a withering glare over my shoulder the entire time. Lmao!!! Thanks for the laughs. But honestly, this is how I feel when the Target employees lie to me and think I don't know. WE KNOW YOUR TRICKS!

@harper Obviously that's an exact transcript of a Mattel office meeting, but...
I look at it like this: There are many figures released in Japan that I'll never get to own, or even know about!, but I don't get uppity because that product is unavailable to me. It is what it is. If I really want some of those cool "import" toys I gotta pay a bunch extra.
Of course, I don't buy them because I can't afford it, so I definitely get bummed about that lol

I have a Nakamura one I bought off Amazon for like $40-50 a while back, and now when I look it up on amazon the prices are all over $100. Sometimes over $200. Okada used to be more, but it’s actually less now.

Got on PopFindr to see the Monroe, NY store had a bump. Took the extra long drive from Yonkers and got all 4. They had an extra Black and McIntyre left over. What PopFindr code do you use for the NXT set?

087-06-8819 for NXT Elite. that doesn’t work on popfindr use 52166717 really? that's all I used and have acquired a whole set because of it. edit: just check both numbers (52166717 & 087-06-8819) and they give the same stock numbers.
