Yep elites are 22.49 at my Walmart now and they are sitting on over 10 Bray Wyatt elite figures. Every year my walmarts get a truckloads of the Summer Slam wave and they just sit all year and they never get new stuff because the Summer Slam wave is still filling the pegs and by the time it's low enough to warrant a restock guess what the next wave is. This isn't the Fiend one. It's the one from elite 85 that comes with one puppet but ya they always seem to get too much of one wave and then nothing from others. |

I live in northern Cali, close to Apple’s corporate site and I paid $25.99 for Piper, Nash andGunn back in late November. I was going to ask for a price adjustment but I never got around to it. I hardly by these things anymore. More the reason to stop all together now.

I stopped collecting a few months ago and really haven't been looking for elites. But my kids wanted to look at the toys last week and I noticed that specific store has gone up to 22.48 on Elites, $21.88 on Hollywood Elites, and $21.97 on AEW and some AEW figures were on clearance. I was very selective when it came to Mattel figures to begin with. I didn't buy every version of a wrestler I really liked because I waited for my favorite attires. For that reason I never owned a Jericho (wanted WCW Jericho) wanted Bret Hart from Survivor Series 95 but settled on the Hart Foundation as a placeholder. I can't imagine paying close to $25 for Mattel figures, they are just not worth that price. And some people are seeing Legends at $26 before tax...Get the  outta here. Mattel won't miss my money though. |

I saw at one of my Walmarts that elites went up there, too. They’re up to like $22 and change after just going up to like $21.97 or something a few months ago. This is getting ridiculous. They were literally $15 and change like 6 months ago. Yep elites are 22.49 at my Walmart now and they are sitting on over 10 Bray Wyatt elite figures. I'll see your ten and raise you....  |

Yeah, Elite 85 Bray is a bust, but so was the basic the year before, and so will the Top Picks basic that is yet to come.
I absolutely cannot believe they chose this character yet again after it has failed over and over.
I predict the Top Picks basic to make the all-time warmer list.

I know getting a figure out isn’t a quick process but there was a period pre Alexa, pre that hell in a cell match etc where the fiend was the hottest thing and they missed the boat taking so long to get a bray / fiend out |

Forget homeruns, at $26.99 Mattel is going to need some absolute grand slams. Mean Mark ain't movin at damn near $30 unless he gets packed with every WCW title.

I am just curious how many price hikes its gonna take for target to finally put this line out of its misery.
Every wave that has been released to stores they have had to clearance out leftovers.

Depends on where you live. At my store, everything sells through without clearance. Even Top Picks and basics. |

Every wave that has been released to stores they have had to clearance out leftovers. ive yet to see any of the legends on clearance because they never last long enough on the shelves to get to that point. just because your experience is less than stellar doesn’t mean the line is failing. but go ahead and keep wishing it would be done. |

The only Legend I found at clearance was Cena. I was initially going to skip him but for 4.99 I couldn't pass.
