Oh wow I never knew those were out in Big Lots. Makes sense though, just something I never thought about. I didn’t start collecting until Shinsuke and Jericho came out. Only DM I’ve seen at a discount store is the one Cena at Five Below. The start of the line was just a different time. There was also a surplus of that DM 1 Macho Man at Kmart. I can't remember the cheapest I paid for one but they got very cheap and I saw at least a dozen of them on clearance on an end cap at Kmart at one point. I bought the HOF plaque versions of the Legends Series 1 guys for a couple of bucks each at Kmart. You could also buy the real scale ring for $30 from Big Lots around the time the DM stuff was there and Legends Series 2 and 3 got clearanced out at different places like Tuesday Morning for cheap. I think it just took a lot of time for CS collectors to finally jump over to Mattel. I know I had doubles and triples of some of that stuff but I sold most of it off over time. man it's funny because I was thinking about that Bret Hart today I remember finding that defining moment Bret Hart at Big lots for $13 I also picked up the John Cena for $13 I wish I would have picked up that triple h with the horrible hand scan and the Stone Cold Steve Austin one they had both of them also for $13

If anyone is the "new Harley Race" it's the Peyton Royce elite. Interesting where the story will end with her-I flipped mine for a DM Bret Hart, my #1 want from the day I started collecting again. If it does become the new Harley, and doesn't show up in stores again, I'll worry about the few $100 I missed out on. I am very happy with how it went down, and will be in the future, as that Bret is probably my favorite Mattel, along with my 1A favorite: RSC b&w nWo Macho Man. i would say you made out on that trade I looked last night and that Bret is selling for $200+ on eBay.

Yeah that was a win for you and a loss for him that Peyton Royce haven't even hit stores yet and people are already panicking just like they did with the kassius Ohno figure wanting to see the next Harley race figure so bad first it was kassius now Peyton Royce just relax be patient SMH nevermind at the end of the day people are still going to panic when the next exclusive hit stores.

I saw that a local Target had their inventory go up on popfindr. I was at work so I let my brother know. He went in at 3:00 and they hadn't stocked anything yet. So I got out and got there at 4:00 and they had stocked Elite 71 but Ohno and Paige were already gone. I swear, you have to be there right as they stock to stand any chance these days.
I finally got Drew McIntyre and Adam Cole so I didn't walk away with nothing at least

Hopefully, like with Pete Dunne, maybe in a year Mattel will put out an Ohno that people can actually find.

Dunne far more popular which is why he is getting another figure. Unless his career turns around in a big way and hes not enhancement talent anymore then he probably is done after this figure.

Would love if they put out another Ohno in his Dream team or Duke colors.

Nah she's just reaching shelves now and confirmed to be 2 per case. You got the best deal there was, the best deal there is and the best deal there ever will be.
