Finally found Gorilla. First time seeing the new elite packaging in store. Possibly a fresh case was just put on the pegs as they had everyone in set. Plus my Liger is set to be delivered today. Good fig day! Edit: posted in liger thread but gorilla looks great in my non- wrestler setup http://instagr.am/p/B6dNXfDgoJO How do those Steveweisers look with a Mattel?

I found Gorilla today and am happy I did. I still need to run into Brisco.

The Mattel’s would have André sized hands in comparison to the cans.

there's one on auction on ebay for about $100 Ive been watching that one since it went up. I was so tempted to bid until it hit $100. That will sell at least at $150 Hello, everyone! Our colleague Sean Mooney had this update from the office of President Jack Tunney. Pandemonium has broken loose here with the figure's release; this place will be going bananas when people find it. The seller doesn't have $100 including his watch! Prices like that are like a shot right in the breadbasket! The seller's taken too many hits to the second turnbuckle on the inside!
Will you be serious! The scalpers don't want to go home with the short end of the purse money!
You're excitement personified! A real house of fire! Chalk up another one in the win column!
What an ovation! This place has come unglued! The excitement is building in anticipation as this figure shows up. You can feel the electricity; you can cut it with a knife!
A closed fist ought to be an automatic disqualification. An official not seeing an illegal short-arm tag behind his back can use an open hand to eject a Superstar before a five count.
What a fountain of misinformation! I lowered the boom and nailed two scalpers with a double noggin knocker, then unloaded the heavy artillery with some roundhouse rights right to the kisser! Those pieces of garbage were suffering Excedrin headache no. #35 past the external occipital protuberance, down the cervical vertebrae, through the lower lumbar area, all the way to the collateral lateral ligaments! I dropped those 300lb. behemoths like a bad habit! Those neckbeards were really bent out-of-shape unable to put the figure on eBay! That gave them a negative attitude in a hurry! Their tantrum was a 10 on the Richter scale!
Let's remind the folks how this all started:
Fans sending all of their cards and letters to Mattel asking Bill, "Will you stop making chase figures so limited?" has made it a happening! History has been made!
Holy mackerel! What a piece of work from my vantage point! "Dangerous" Danny Davis gets a figure but not Joey Marella?! Give me a break! It's too bad Mattel hasn't excellently executed the figure like you have!
Close, but no cigar! Walmart have been very non chalant in how they've covered this figure.
Too many fans have short arms and deep pockets. Bill feared another former Intercontinental Champion, former Tag Team Champion, Tito Santana-type situation with unsold figures jam-packed to the rafters in every store, highly unlikely to be successful. He was scared of losing his meal ticket! This figure seems more available than the conspicuous by its absence "The King" Harley Race!
A real Pearl Harbor job! You went to the well one too many times! You telegraphed it, set too early and dropped your head! Keep your head up. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades! Even though it looked like he hadn't missed too many meals, the scalper ran like a thief in the night once he laid his hamhocks on the figure! Before he could put it on eBay, he needed the Shell Answer Man; he'd run out of gas! Completely spent, he was ripe for the pickings! Walmart, the Mecca of figure collecting, put out standing room only signs early because of another capacity crowd on hand! That terminated his career in a hurry!
You resemble that remark! I'm going to have you taken out of here in a minute! Turnabout is fair play! What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
As there have been multiple figures of "Mr. Broadcast Journalist", "The Weasel" Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, plus that little runt Jimmy Hart, and even Howard Finkel, it's about time there was one of yours truly in my book! This miscarriage of justice has become a moral victory!
This will go down in the annals of Wrestlingfigs history as the greatest of all-time! Please! Well, excuse me! That was disgusting! What a heinous, despicable act that was! So long everyone, there's plenty more action still to come! That's all she wrote! Good night, nurse! It's all over but the shouting! Lights out! Let's go to "Mean" Gene Okerlund! Stick a fork in this post; it's done!

Is anyone still finding Elite 72 at Walmart? Ive only spotted E72 once in stores and I was lucky enough to spot Monsoon as well. Other than that I haven't seen them again anywhere and now E73 is popping up in random spots.

Still on E71 here, though I spotted a banged up common Ziggler. Now I don't regret getting Monsoon the way I did.

I still haven’t seen any E72 at any Walmart near me. In fact, none of the stores I’ve checked even have any Elites now, even after doing their resets.

Targets near me are getting E72 while Walmarts are getting E73 which needs to be reversed to get the exclusives.

My Target hasn’t gotten anything since E69. The regular elite shelf is just empty except for one E68 Bryan with bad paint. And Walmart got a ton of E71 & E73 but like 1 case of E72. This is so stupid.

E74 is hitting Walmart so I think Gorilla is done. Maybe Canada will get a big shipment of Monsoon
