Definitely the most frustrating hunt ever. Ever since people have started to spot him, I’ve been hitting Targets every single day and all I end up seeing are Top Picks and Charlottes. Besides the Uso’s (which I don’t care about and isn’t a must have), I’ve yet to spot a single person from Elite 64. Literally every Target that I’ve been to I’ve asked an employee to see what they’ve got in the back and all they end having in the back are more Top Picks and more Charlottes This is why I appreciate Ringside and wish all the exclusives were available there.

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that Bill said that these would be available for overseas company's that wish to order them. Even though they are target exclusives. So if they can do this, is there some kind of fine print saying Ringside isn't allowed? I mean Mattel's head is so far up its ass with distribution, wouldn't this ultimately push more money to Mattel's bottom line? I thought the whole purpose of being in business is to MAKE MONEY!!??

Target has exclusive rights to US distribution, meaning overseas retailers are able to order the cases. Look at it from Target's perspective - it undercuts the whole point of them having an exclusive to drive people into their store if people can just go online and buy the figure from another retailer.

The listing on eBay currently going for $102.50 does not have the tattoo on the right knee.

So I went to a signing yesterday in Houston of Eric Young, and there were a few Mattel people there. I mentioned the difficulty I was having finding this figure, thinking maybe they'll say something like, "Let me get someone to ship you out a case," or something (wishful thinking, I know), but they knew nothing about it....

Finally started using popfindr and saw 12 at a nearby target. Found a bunch of Tugboats, Narcsssist Lex Luger and a flashback William Regal (not to mention 3 shower Rusevs and an NXT Reigns). Guessing it might be a while!

Im worried I'll even find one. On Target in my area has just Nakamura, Aj Styles and AOP the one closest to me has no Elites.
I wish it was easier to find exclusives.

For some reason DCPIs don't work for me on PopFindr
What's the other code for Main Elites ?

Just keeping checking Target.com. It might be a while before they list it there. But usually within the first 3monthes of a release exclusive like NXT or HOF, they will have it. The Shark was a Target exclusive and its still online.

Never mind... just found him yesterday just out of pure luck when I saw Hawkins and Joe on the pegs. I asked the employee if they had more in the back and he asked me if there was anyone in particular and I said Pete Dunne. He then came back with a Dunne and I was stoked!

When you found them did you look them up on popfindr or any other app first? Or did you just walk in and see it?

I just think it's HILARIOUS and makes a lot of sense that both Bob Backlund AND Sherri (two WALMART EXCLUSIVES) are in Target's system and listed on their web site, but Pete Dunne, an ACTUAL TARGET EXCLUSIVE, is not in the system or on the site.

Saw the stock jump up to 15 and was debating to go check it because one of the other store that I went to recently, the stock jumped up to 12 and when I checked out that store, it was a brand new box full of Elite 61.

Popfindr’s stock increased today so I called Target and they said they couldn’t locate them and they might still be on the truck. I couldn’t go until after work and by then Dunne was gone. They had a full set including the chase Hawkins, but I’m pretty bummed about losing out on Dunne. I also went to two other Targets yesterday, one of which had just got a full case of Elite 64, but Dunne was also gone. The guy stocking the toys said he had just put them out not long ago too.
Why did Mattel think this was a good idea? I don’t even live in a collector heavy area.
EDIT: To make matters worse a person from my town is sellinge one on eBay currently (with a beat up box) for $130.00 buy it now. I hope people don’t give in to these scalpers.

Any word on when Pete Dunne will hit stores or where I could purchase online? E64 just started hitting and I got lucky and found a Dunne at both of my stores but it seemed liked it was with the chase Hawkins as both of my stores had the Dunne with the chase Hawkins but not the regular one so happy hunting

Patience is key total of less than 20 on Ebay between what's listed and what sold. Still many sitting in warehouses. 2 targets of mine have had 8 or more in stock according to popfindr. I have checked vwrydsy since Monday and every time it’s EMPTY. Makes me sad 😔 According to a manager at target they usually get shipments in Wednesday’s and Fridays
