Store exclusives E B A Y exclusives - fixed. My Walmarts haven't stocked elites for months. The few basics there are literally collecting dust. I bought Sherri and Patterson from the e b a y and Brisco from RS.

I bought Sherri and Patterson from the e b a y and Brisco from RS. So true. I’m over the Walmart crap. Just bought Muraco on Ebay. Probably get Sherri from there too as her price has come down. Then Gorilla once his price comes down. Pretty much done hunting with any real legitimate hope of finding anything,

I've been lucky enough to find all the exclusives I've wanted except Ohno at retail. But the amount of time and gas I've spent to find a needle in a haystack every couple of months is probably way more than the extra $10-15 I'd spend to buy the exclusives on ebay once prices settle out.

This. I've found almost all the exclusives I've wanted, but at what cost? The cost of many, many lites of gas and hours in the car. And that's not even mentioning the amount of cumulative time I've spent in Wal-Mart and just shopping in general. Somewhat depressing to think about.

Time and gas are never a factor because we are going to the stores already for other things we need to get. I very rarely ever just go out just looking for figures. Maybe I will do that once every six months where I will just go to multiple stores just looking for a figure. But 99.9% of the time we are there shopping for other things and I will just check the toy dept. and other than the Ohno which hasn’t hit our area yet and Brisco which I only saw one time on the pegs (but also many in stock on their website) I have seen multiples of every Target and WalMart exclusive. And that is dealing with T0y W!z hitting my area stores daily.

Funny seeing that pic above I will say that is something I don’t ever find the variant figures. Other than the KO, English and the Gran Metalik I haven’t seen any of the variants.

I realized how much time (driving all over the place, Brickseek, etc.), money (wasted gas), effort (focusing on finding these figures instead of living my life) I was spending trying to track these down and decided that it just wasn't worth my time, money, effort anymore. I'm now pretty happy just grabbing the exclusives off Mercari and grabbing extras when/if I come across them naturally and maybe making some money back reselling those. (Call me a scalper; I don't care.)

I had a similar experience with E66 Owens. Saw the variant a lot more than I saw the regular. Like, the overwhelming majority of times I saw E66 KO, it was the variant. To the point where I was excited to find the regular Fight Anyone version.

Other than that I don’t know because I had no interest in him so I didn’t pay attention to all the differences between the two versions.

Have had him for a while so I didn’t pay too much attention either. Lol.

The WalMart I work at has had 2 elites sitting on the shelves for the past month. We had a case that was supposed to come in, but the order was cancelled a week ago.
The store across town has had one elite on the shelf since August.
