Not sure why we can not get Retros every 2-3 months, almost similar to Elites and Basics. If there was not such a wide gap between each series release, pegs would not be clogged. This providing Target and Walmart keep carrying the line. Is that how Elites and Basics come out? I was wondering this, as only line I buy is Retros. Thought it would make sense for them to be evenly spaced throughout the year instead of 3 waves within 12 weeks and then nothing for 8 months.

The distribution has been rough. Target around here finally got Series 4 for the first time last month and only got Series 5 once last summer due Series 3 being the set that won’t go away and was extremely over produced. They even got more Series 3 this week when the one case of Series 4 sold. It would be nice if Series 6 showed up. Up until I finally saw The New Day last week I was beginning to wonder if Target even realized that Mattel actually produced more than Series 3 lol. I mean, keeping with Hasbro tradition it's not really on the packaging so I guess that's why they maybe don't understand they are now up to Series 9 of these figures lol.

Yeah Retros are on sale this week, I grabbed a Finn last night Sale is great. Picked up New Day yesterday. If only I could find a Macho Man!! Looks like my store got some more in tonight. They were sold out since at least Monday. They seem to be flying off shelves at all the stores around here. Hilarious, since they've actually been selling now that S4 and S5 have been coming in, yet they never bothered to put them on sale when S3 was clogging stores across the country for 6-12 months straight. I really do hope Target gets current on these and gets price down to $10. Really sick of Walmart's crap stocking abilities. Again shows a case came in last night (WM), but of course I walk in and they haven't been put out again. Even with Brickseek it's a crap shoot with them as to when they'll bother stocking. At least w/ Target it seems when stuff comes in it gets stocked right away.

I picked up New Day and Sami Zayn on the sale. Hopefully I find Finn at the sale price bc I could never pull the trigger at 13. Just don't like the figure at all. Macho is going to have to be bought online I guess. My Five Below never got them.

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. 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? 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? Target's DPCI is still the same for Retros, but Walmart's SKU and the UPC for Retros as a whole changed with the release of Series 7. I believe that Series 7 is most definitely a sign of things to come, as far as retail pricing is concerned for these figures without the stands. I'm sure eventually, as WOOOOOO said, Target will adopt the standard $9.99 pricing. Early indications are that Amazon will price Series 10 at $9.99 each.

Again, doesn't help anybody, when Walmart continually gets product and doesn't push it to the floor for days. I gave in and bought the extra Shawn I needed on ebay the other day, paid $3 more after shipping than I would have at Walmart, but it's just not worth my time anymore to bother with going in there. Brickseek isn't even useful if they're not going to push the stuff to the floor when it comes in. Just going to stick with RSC preorders unless Target ever gets current on these.
And just as a side note, my Target's retstock from the other day turned out to be S3 lol. How many of those were produced, they just won't go away! At the decent price, picked up a Dean though for another Issac Yankem custom.

2 local Targets just restocked a full case of Series 3 Rollins, Ambrose, AJ, and Goldberg....
This line is dead.
Between that and the 30 Alex Rusevs in all the Targets around here, I am screwed lol

Series 3 and even 4 should have been on sale or even clearance well before Christmas if Target was sitting on these in their warehouses. I think once cleared, eventually, they'll jump right to Series 8.

I’ve only ever seen Series 1 which was readily available, a partial case of series 2 once, series 3 is everywhere to this day (every target in the 20 miles radius which is over 10 targets and every 5 below), and once I saw a Sami Zayn. That is it.

Everyone who would have wanted a Series 3 figure, has one. It was a solid set with 3 popular current wrestlers and one legend. It was just over produced.

I know nothing about the main lines, but how does this happen, guessing he's filling pegs around the country then eh?

One target had the new day and a sami zayn, 5 listed in stock. I bought the 3 new day, someone must have got Sami. Store is listed as 1 in stock with none on shelf...
I'm really curious to see what happens at this specific store. Will keep everyone updated.
I feel like most Targets wont carry after the overabundance of series 3 is gone.

What website/item # are you using where it will give you a quantity for Target? All I get is if it's in stock, or out of stock, or limited stock (which seems to mean 1 on hand I guess). Using brickseek and the UPC number.

Series 7 has been sitting on the shelves in my local Walmart. Picked up a Kurt Angle that I wanted but they had at least a few of each guy.

That's good that they are on the pegs, gives kids a chance to buy them. Most collectors have theirs as they have been out a couple months now. Now need to see some 8s at Wallyworld.

Does anyone know why the iron sheik figure is no longeron ringside collectables? I think they've just sold out the quantity they ordered. There's more demand for legends than current. Also he's possibly short packed, but I don't think I've seen case breakdowns confirmed for this set yet. Is anyone finding Series 8 at Walmart yet? I just saw another jump on brickseek tonight, don't feel like wasting my time to walk into the store though just to find they havn't bothered to push the cases to the floor. Not even sure if they put out the box that came in 2 weeks ago, it's still showing an even number of 16, so looks like 2 complete boxes yet, making me doubt they've been put out. And I've already got what I really need until S9.
