Was surprised earlier in the week when a fellow member picked up Pete Dunn from a target in va beach. Usually this area seems to be the last to get anything good I’ve noticed in my 2 months collecting figs, Charlotte flair still hanging on pegs in abundance. Used popfdr this morning before work 1:30am, local store had 1 elite. Checked for S&G’s while waiting on a store to open for a delivery, I’m a vendor btw. Stock jumped to 11, this was around 6:15am. Was trying to figure out should i go at 8am, maybe later and chance it since you know damn well it’s probably still gonna be in the stockroom at 8. Decided to leave work and head over, 25 min commute. Show up at 8, go to the figs and there’s 1 top picks Aj styles i returned a month ago hanging lonely on the set of pegs... jeez, this is gonna suck having to ask someone and explain what I’m looking for.... head to electronics where i see 1 out of the 3 employees on the sales floor. Younger hipster looking guy. He said he only did the electronics and i needed to go towards the stockroom and find someone over that way. I do that and run into a red float that has toys on it. 👀 sweet, this is gonna be simple... 🙄 open the few cases that say Mattel without being too conspicuous. See a guy working with the vacuum cleaners across the main aisle and ask him if he could help. He told me to head through the double doors and ask someone in the stockroom. Still was kinda skeptical on that but i proceeded. First person i saw was a little old lady that was sorting the truck to the appropriate float as the boxes came off the rollers. Told her my situation for like the 3rd time since i got there. She looked at me like i had 3 heads. A tall guy walked by and said “hey you need to talk to this guy”. So then i explained what i was doing there for the 4th time. Guy looks at me and says “ok, here’s where the toys are”. I say cool, you mind if i look around at a couple boxes? “No problem” he said. So then i started reading the cases and opening what said Mattel. There were 2 floats to go through but on the very top i saw a box that said Mattel wwe figures. Pulled it down and opened it with my box cutter i opened the case to find Pete Dunn turned backwards immediately. Grabbed the USO’s also because the store was so cool to let me dig through their freight. Saw and left the Hawkins but not sure about this chase thing (I’m still new at this). Couldn’t find the y’all guy that gave me the go ahead but i made sure to tell the old lady let him know i said “thanks and i got exactly what i was looking for”. Self checkout bound and burned a target gift card that had been rotting in my wallet for years   |

I’m less excited about this figure now that there’s no title to go with him. (Not buying that Tyler Bate figure and it’s not on RS anymore anyways....)

There was a pic of that Women’s title pack but really we should get that UK, the new NXT tag titles, and NXT men and women’s title. |

If Hawkins was in blue gear it’s the normal figure and if he was in black gear it’s the chase. There’s one in each set. Some of them are obvious like Shelton Benjamin and some of them are extremely hard to tell the difference like Aiden English and Mabel

We were told that about 1 in 3 or 4 cases will have the chase version but I’ve only seen the regular version of Shelton |

My eyes got a damn good workout from reading that, i don't know how long it's been since i've read a paragraph that big on a screen. But seriously, that's some determination right there, i probably would've given up after asking 1 or 2 people. It feels good to not exactly want this figure so i don't have to go through the pain of buying him online for a decent price. (I'm a fan of Dunne, just don't feel the need for the figure... Yet.) Either way, it's nice to see when someone gets these and isn't just trying to flip it for $1,000,000... Just for figure posts, pls space out some of the writing, i like my eyes  |

What kind of store allows customers to enter the warehouse/stockroom - which is a staff only area, and start opening boxes?
