I was told almost exactly this by an employee when I got the Network Spotlights. did the remaining retro's hit clearance at any of you're store's yet Nope. Still have the same Series 3 figures that have been there for months. I almost grabbed one when they were on sale for $7.99 but passed. Still hoping to walk in one day and see series 10 hanging there 🤞

You want to hear something odd? Two Walmart’s in my area got E68 during the early part of the $16 price drop. Each restocked and had most of the series on the shelves when Target got its first case in at regular $20. They sold through that case, as well as 2 more restocks of it at full price while Walmart’s discount stock warmed. Eventually they both sold most of it and are now on E69, but it was still weird to watch a set of figures that were $4 more expensive sell faster less than a mile away.

Had this problem when I bought Liv Morgan, luckily when the lady asked me if this 'was new?' I lied and said it had been out for a while. She bit and rang it up as generic 'wwe elite' for $15.99.

They’re not getting rid of elites and they won’t be over $20
Bill has explained many times that they are tooled and budgeted to keep at the $20 and under price point for big box stores
Threads like this are essentially Dave meltzer of figure collecting

This happened on one of the Liv Morgan’s I bought. The other was fine but for some reason one of them wouldn’t scan. I highly doubt Elites are being pulled from Targets.

This thread is another shining example of why you shouldn’t listen to low level retail employees.

Ask a manager. You can see whats coming up and yes, there will be more Elites.

You'd think they'd been pulled from Walmart. We got the reset. We got *maybe* 3 or 4 cases at each store. Now they're all completely empty and useless again. What's the excuse this time?

Since the reset the WalMarts around here have had at least 3 cases of E68 and about 3-4 of e69. It has been about a case or two a week since.

My neighbor's son has a friend whose neighbor's uncle works as an overnight stock associate at Target, and he said that Brian Cornell has bought a controlling stake in WWE and part of his first initiative is to remove the Elite line from Target stores nationwide as sort of a first volley in what will become the complete eradication of WWE figures altogether so that the line can be relaunched in the second quarter of 2020 under a new yet-to-be-named Target house brand of toys and playsets geared toward the ages 5 to 8 demographic.
Hourly frontline Target associates seem to have become WF's breaking news source of choice, so I have absolutely no reason not to believe this spicy hot piece of scuttlebutt from my neighbor's son's friend's neighbor's uncle.

Yeppers, some will say resets time again, others distribution. Me, going with crappy distribution once again. Elite 68, 69 made it to some Targets/Walmarts, sold through and now bupkis in some areas, like by me.
