Uh i got one when it was released like last summer or fall. Why would you guys think it's going to come back. I'm not expecting to see any old elites on the shelves. Pretty sure walmart doesnt have a secret stash of old elites.

Pretty sure walmart doesnt have a secret stash of old elites. Uh, it came out mid-November, and most are expecting it to show up at a closeout store, i.e. someone who buys stock that retail stores can't sell or were overstocked on. Also, Walmart DOES in fact bring back old waves that have been setting in their distribution centers. Take for instance the MASSIVE restock of Elite 40 and 42 that happened around ten waves later and blocked several new sets from every appearing in Walmarts.

Looking back at old threads here, the earliest sightings/purchases were in October, most people got it in November and right now there's only 1 or 2 on ebay.

Old restock does happen, just depends on where those old cases are sitting.

if my uncle found it quite easily in the ny ara last year, im sure it will be all over the place soon. the problem for me is the new nxt series, only san jose got them, and there have been no fig from this line on ebay since san jose guys found them. also seeing that the same seller from new zeeland keep posting again and again the pete dunne figure , i think it will be the same problem than larry zbysko fig. but this time the prices are crazy of 200 $ ! no logic

It seems Mattel only distributes to scalpers, or people who have time to drive from Walmart to Walmart using brickseek and stalking Walmart employees. It’s not that serious to me.
That whole set has been a complete failure. I wanted that Ricky Steamboat when it was first announced/leaked about a year before it was finally released. Probably will never get it.
Christ, I could build a Shopify page for Mattel in a day that could easily get these figures out to the collectors.

If it weren’t for eBay I wouldn’t have this set. I actually bought Harley for $55 on eBay like 5-6 months ago. Was really angry at the time and it actually paid off being that they sell for over $80 now. This whole set which should have cost around $80 cost me $160. Almost double each figure. Hopefully they remedy this going forward. Also one per case was a joke in a BAF set.

LoL Still wouldn't help in this situation, Harley is a store exclusive so his site wouldn't have the stock either haha.

Chill.

Exactly. So the company that is based out of California will NORMALLY have their figures show up in Western United States. The Elite 64 showing up in New Zealand is a head scratcher, but NXT 4 showing up in San Diego is very normal.
