I know there's older topics made, but didn't want to bump them up. Just checked my 2 local Targets today to see what Retros were in stock. Forget my local Walmart, the one case they got of Series 7 weeks ago has not been restocked. Anyway, back to Target. The closest one still had 2X Series 4 Kevin Owens, 1x Series 3 Dean and 2X Goldbergs gathering dust. The other Target which had been restocking Series 5 the last couple months got a fresh case in. A fresh case of Series 4 Didn't need Flair, so after he sells, not going to see any restocks there for a few months as the other 6 will hang there. Forget Kmart, as within 45 minutes of me, all closed. Looks like online is the place to buy, when they become available. Now if Mattel decides to do chase or exclusives with this line, all hells gonna break loose, at least by me.

Saw the same thing myself today. A target that was stocking series 5 for its last few cases just got a case today and it was series 4. Target must have series 4 and 5 just all mixed up in their warehouses and it's a crap shoot as to what may show up at the stores.

Yeah, I don't believe I have even saw a single figure at retail from series 4,5, or 6.

Same for me. Was able to get S1 & S2 easily at WM (obviously) Saw LOTS of S3 at Targets (AND STILL DO, in my area), and occasionally at a GameStop here & there Never saw S4, S5 or S6 in-person anywhere... Got all of S4 on Target's site eventually, and the New Day through [REDACTED] on BF S7 is in all of the WMs around me; got a set of those but they aren't moving quickly... We might never get a restock of future waves (similar to S3 at the Targets around me) I live in the Pacific NW, so no 5 Below or any of those that you other lucky ducks have
I REALLY want to buy all of these figs, and not at eBay prices, but they aren't making it easy for me.

I feel like Series 6 has been the worst for finding in stores. At least 4 and 5 popped at Five Below.

I'm not so sure about S4 not moving if showing up at Target. The store over by me got 2 boxes of S5 over the past month or so and they all moved pretty quick. Macho right away, and New Day within a week or so each time. I guess there must still be some demand for those series since they havn't been at retail too heavy. Just hope Target didn't warehouse as many of 4 and 5 as they had with 3.
My store was out of stock and it now shows in stock, but I'm not rushing over to see what they got. I assume it's either 4 or 5 of both I'm good on now.

Series 1 & 2 I found most of them at my local WM. I saw series 5 once at Target they had 2 Machos and the new day in which I picked up the set and the extra Macho, never seen them since. Recently found series 7 twice in 2 different Walmarts. Series 6 I saw in Kmart once also. Series 3 they had them everywhere in Target and TRU at the time. Series 4 never found them or seen them at retail and its the one series I need which I will get eventually.

Granted, I didn't start collecting Retros until December, but this is what my area has looked like:
S1-S2: Missed out on those. S3-S4: Found them all between 3 different Five Below's. Recently, my 3 local Target's have a mixture of both sets. Mainly AJ, Ambrose, and Goldberg. S5: Never seen them in stores. S6: Never seen them in stores. S7: Found a complete case once at Walmart and haven't seen a figure since.
My hope is that once Target cleans out its series 3 and 4 inventory, they follow up with 5 and 6. I refuse to pay crazy Ebay prices and their listings of series 6 seem to be minimal.

I've only seen Series 1-3 and 7 at retail. 4-6 I got through Amazon and MGLPLS. All of the Targets around me still have at least some of Series 3.
I'm just trying to get to Diesel so I can preorder 5 of them off of Ringside and have so much less stress over this line.

Series 1 - seen multiple times at Wal_mart and passed on. Wasn't sure I was going in on the line Series 2 - Only saw a partial wave once at Wal-Mart, ended up getting on eBay Series 3 - EVERYWHERE! Target, TRU, 5 Below. Ended up starting here and picking them up during TRU's closure Series 4 - Partially at Target, got the whole wave at 5 Below Series 5 - Got at 5 Below, haven't seen elsewhere Series 6 - Seen at K-Mart ($12.99 each but all gone now), still hoping they show up elsewhere Series 7 - Seen at multiple Wal-Marts and purchased.
My problem is that I don't see these as $11-13 figures, so ordering the whole wave online seems to be too much. $7-9 each seems more reasonable. And $5 is an instant buy from me.

Been predicting for a while that S6 hits discount stores in 2019. They HAVE to. There was 1 report of them hitting a Target. 1 report of them hitting a 5 Below. Beyond that, back out the inventory that KMart had and there still HAS to be a ton of them sitting out there somewhere.

Those are going to show up at five below later this year. Series 4 and 5 seem to be coming out of target pretty steady now so 6 has to show up somewhere

How was Series 8 released? Keep hoping to see it at Wal Mart but all I see is Series 7.

Consider yourself lucky as far as Series 4 lol. I only saw one little trace of them at Five Below with a Kevin Owens. I got there too late but prob. had little to no chance getting the Flair anyhow. He prob. disappeared as soon as they put them out. Series 6 I had no problem with at the only Kmart left in my area. Series 2 I was given a second chance with thankfully with the help on this board with the heads-up of them popping up at TJ Maxx and Marshall's-otherwise I still wouldn't have the complete set. I saw Series 5 for the first time yesterday at one of my Targets and of course Macho was long gone lol. But my other Target is finally dwindling down with the Series 3 and I have got to guess this time they will FINALLY put out Series 4 or 5 lol.

The Target sold one Flair, 5-6 more pieces to sell before the reorder kicks in. One Walmart by me got in another case of Series 7, all banged up packages. They sell out in about 3-4 days at the walmart as they only get one case every 10-14 days.
As to Series 6 hitting discount chains, wouldn't hold my breath on that since Target and Walmart are carrying the line on a regular basis for now. I see Targets jumping to Series 8, after 3/4/5 sell out at their warehouses.

My big question is, will Target drop the price to 10 if they get 7 or 8? Or do they remain at $13? Are they just cheaper at Walmart because Walmart is dirt cheap compared to Target?

Series 7 doesnt have the stands like 4, 5, and 6 do that's why they are cheaper. Target will drop the price for the later series.

Hope so, but I don't see a cheap bit of plastic equaling a $3 difference. Plus it's all still the same UPC/SKU/DPCI isn't it?
