Walmart Mcphillips in Wpg has Ultimate Edition 22, GUNTHER, Cena, Jey Uso in abundance. They also had a case of elite 111, I snagged the lone Sandman. I missed out on the lone Sandman here in southeast AB, called around to other stores in the region and sounds like they haven’t got them in yet, so if anyone spots one — let me know! Lol

Walmart taylor had elite 111, but no trish and no sandman. Picked up cody and ricochet. Trish and Tony are on Amazon canada for less than retail, although, D'Angelo is out of stock at the moment

Got my shipping notification for MC Headbangers last night -- can't wait!
Also I'm really hoping I can find a chase Sandman in the wild but I'm not holding my breath seeing as how hard it sounds to find even the regular version. My ECW shelf needs some damn love!

We definitely got 111 at my Walmart but I was too late. The Sandman was snagged immediately and nothing else. Either someone is hitting the stores harder than me (inconceivable) or they're getting backdoored. Almost getting FOMO with that one.
My Toys R Us is the saddest place ever when it comes to wrestling figs. Basics for days, some showdowns that just came in and a few Hulk packs.
GameStop gets one case of AEW a month, if that. They don't even seem to always hit the shelves at the same time. I remember passing on a Keith Lee chase for weeks before someone bothered to pick it up.

E111 is definitely not coming to my Walmart and I'll have to make the hour long drive into the city to get Cody.
Just waiting for another reason so I'm not burning so much gas for a single figure.

Found E111 at my local Walmart today surprisingly. I picked up Sandman which was the regular version, and someone I'm assuming intentionally ripped the entire back of the packaging which was odd.

They barely carry any new elites so what are they raising the price of, the shelf warmers that won't sell?!
$40 is insane for an elite IMO, especially now with all the QC issues being reported with newer releases. I don't get how they are still in business, the company that bought Toys R Us has done nothing but raise prices ever since they took over (which I believe was just before the pandemic and well before all this inflation stuff started).
I think the end is near for us Canadian collectors unfortunately- it was a good run while it lasted (I have been collecting for 10 years, looks like I got in at the right time) but nothing lasts forever I guess?

I've been out for almost a year now except for the odd first time in the line and that's if I really like them.

I actually had pretty good luck today hunting. Sandman at Walmart, Sting and Hardy at Gamestop.

Biff Slamkovich™ Mine are somewhat loose, but nowhere near as bad as the recent red Jey Uso. So many figures require elastic bands around the ankle joints just to stand now. Abysmal quality control for $30 figures.

Abysmal quality control for $30 figures. My Sandman actually fell 7 feet off of a shelf this morning too....yay. I never thought to utilize an elastic band around the ankle like that. I'll have to give it a shot. I also have Legends Bryan Pillman and Matty Collector DDP that don't stand up due to loose ankles, so I'll do a bit of troubleshooting later to see. Appreciate the tip! And yeah, with costs going up and QC issues seemingly running rampant I'm definitely questioning how much longer I want to collect.

I find the bands work well on ankle joints and for bobblehead syndrome. These are the ones I use. I get them at walmart in the hair accessories dept.
