With yet another year and Toyfair fast approaching, it seems like the general consensus is that the ship has sailed on Harley Race and Walmart Elite Flashback 3, but there are seriously so few of the things in the wild. I’m STILL thinking they haven’t properly hit yet. Thoughts?

there gone bro.. unless they show up in those discount stores.. most walmarts either never ordered it , or they got 1-2 cases and moved them. much like the FC series.. some got them, and the stores that did , clearance them out almost immediately.

These have never been on the pegs in my area and I’ve been checking the Wal-Marts every few days for half a year now.

I honestly just can't see a Walmart wave being produced in numbers that low, especially after the massive amounts of series 2 that are still hanging around. I feel like series 2 was WAY over distributed, leading to series 3 getting extremely low orders.
I wish Bill would comment on this, as I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on that Harley Race at scalper prices when I'm so sure that there are so many more of them sitting in a warehouse, just waiting to show up at Big Lots or Ollie's.

What’s the timetable for stuff turning up at the discounts stores? And which ones should we be checking... I only know of Big Lots and Marshalls, are there others that stock figs?

Like what happened with the last TNF series, I can see them pop up later on the website in larger numbers.

Partly yes, but mainly because the moaning about old stock hanging around on the pegs is boring, I got 2, a lot of others on here got theirs and theres some on ebay for anyone else

These are not figures that were meant to be exclusive or limited run.

I've yet to see a series so rare that there aren't even any on eBay (outside of Austin). It's ridiculous...

It doesn't seem like there we're many of the Walmart series 3 flashbacks or the Target series 2 and 3 of Hall of Champions made which was very disappointing as they we're great sets. Even the 1st wave of Fan Central figures that TRU got and the 2nd wave Walmart got seemed to be in short supply.

TNF Elite 3 showed up really cheap on Ringside, but TNF Basic 3, I think, seemed to not really show up anywhere. I got the XPac from Ebay and the price was only a little jacked up. But I hope somebody can save us from Wal-Mart's continued incompetence.

I doubt they were produced sparingly by accident The question is whether they're produced to order, or sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to end up at Big Lots.

Thought about getting the X-Pac and Trips but never pulled the trigger. Owens and Wyatt were the last ones in stock last time I checked.

I really really hope they pop up in Walmart or Walmart’s site in the near future.

I saw Austin once. I'm resigned to this fate that has me never acquiring Race. I feel I have a better chance of getting an SES Punk, at this point.

There pretty much have to be more of these out there. I think more hit retail than people realize, but nowhere near the 5-10,000 number that was probably produced.
Remember that there was a significant gap between TNF3 leaving stores and the series showing up on RSC. At least 6+ months. I wouldn't be shocked if something like that happens again.
