How would Stacy show up on her own? Surely there aren't cases of just her figure? Perhaps it's different over here (Ireland) but cases have full set in them, usually 10 or 12 figures, and some of the characters are 'shorted' (ie' there might be 2 kanes in each box, but only 1 stacy, to try and prevent peg-warming).

The legends line has been coming in solid cases here in the states, |

We get solid cases of single superstars in my locale. Exact same thing happened with the past legend waves: A Fresh case with nothing but Cowboy Bob, a case with nothing but Road Dogg, etc. |

Only one I want in this set is Luger, so I guess it's not time to go running out looking just yet.

I’m hoping Luger goes back in stock. He’s the one I’ve been anticipating for the longest. Crazy, how he’s the only one I have seen restocked or available for preorder again.

Honestly this is best way to distro. Prevents stores from ordering a multi case pack while the top sellers sell out, and they can order whats needed exactly.

Not really because they aren’t distributed correctly. Once Target gets them they distribute the cases to all their regions distribution centers who then distribute them to the stores in their region. And in many cases there’s been reports of areas not getting cases of everyone. Because when Target first gets them they don’t split the shipment so that every region gets all of them. It’s just whichever cases are on the pallets that they pull for the region. Just like with Walmart and the Superstars wave. My area stores never received Hogan cases. Just Flair, HTM and Bray. |

So a good idea, but horrible execution. Never change, brick and mortar retail.

I don’t think there’s any Legends from 11-14 that I haven’t seen at least once
Only ones that are maybe’s are Big John Studd and Billy Gunn but I wasn’t looking for them so idk

Well, not really. If you take into consideration that your average order-placer/merchandiser/whatever doesn't know the difference between a Hogan figure and a Chyna figure, you end up in situations where they order a random figure and then it sits on the shelves for months, until they clearance it off.
Can make the line look like it's a shoddy seller. I think the 'full series in a case' way works a lot better as it gives the shop a full series, and reduces the amount of the less popular characters that will be in stock. I'd rather have 12 Kanes than 12 Stacys on my shelf.

Each legend figure has their own dpci number that separates them now, compared to when target grouped all the series into one. So, its literally impossible, for an error to occur. Target has 12 Stacies, if none are sold, they only have 12 Stacies no more gets ordered. They also have 12 kanes. Well, if they sell, they will only get more kanes auto ordered from the computer system, no more stacy. Now the way you like it, if you have 12 stacies on the shelf and nothing else? Guess what? Your store isnt getting anymore full pack cases until those stacies dwindle down, and then guess what? You get more stacy because a new full casepack was ordered. Now yes mispicks happen. They happen to food too so its nothing new when it comes to figures. Ive had absolutely no issues getting what ive wanted from the legends series since the start of these new single cases, have also had a better chance at the chase figures. And to be completely honest, i have never seen a chase in store prior to this change. Its best for all imho. |

I personally haven’t had an issue finding the Legends, but the fact does remain that even though a store has pegs for all four or five figures in the assortment they may never actually receive the figures because their distribution center may not have received cases for all four. They may have only received cases of three of the four and never receive cases of the last figure. And there have been plenty of reports in the past where certain areas didn’t get all case packs. That has happened around here with McFarlane’s BAF waves. The two Targets closest to me here in Rockland county only received solid cases for three of the four. And two of those stores only received the Wonder Woman cases. Here was a pic of one of the stores that only got WW. They also had two pegs of just her in the aisle.  But the Omega figure I didn’t find until I went back down to my childhood hometown in NJ to visit family. One of the Targets close to there had plenty of just Omega.   Is it a better concept? Sure, but Target needs to execute the process better than what they have. |

Lol It's strange how we've come full circle with the female figures - they nearly all become shelf-warmers these days... I remember in the earlier years of the line, any female figure was really sought-after and cherry-picked. |

I dont know good luck
