I haven't seen royal rumble except two figures. I saw a few elite 99 at a Walmart and haven't seen 96 through 98. None of it makes sense.

my middle of nowhere wal mart has had 95 since august and also top picks. i found an ultimate roman and ultimate jeff there the other week though. not a target for a few hours away may be a reason.

I haven’t seen any Elites in Walmart besides top picks for probably at least a year.

Every Walmart near me hasn't gotten anything beyond Elite 85 :/

My Walmart got about 150 cases of Elite 91 around Christmas and didn’t get anything new until a case of Elite 99 yesterday. My Target has every peg filled with Scarlett so who knows when they will get anything new.

Meanwhile, Amazon has been killing it. They have been shipping Elite 100, Championship Showdown Series 12 and might be shipping Ultimate Edition 16 next week. My Ultimate 16 AJ actually shipped from Amazon today, it’s arriving Tuesday! It’s crazy how behind retail is. The Target near me just began receiving Elite 95. |

Came across elite 97 today. First regular elite set I've seen since 95 in October. I grabbed Sheamus, omos, and chase Woods. Already have chainsaw Charlie from ringside. These elite sets if you see them it's like should I get it now or never see them again. It's awful.

If you don't get catch the set when they first put them out you'll be waiting months until they restock another set. |

If you don't get catch the set when they first put them out you'll be waiting months until they restock another set. It is frustrating. Stores will get dozens of the same Top Picks that will move 2 or 3 units, then collect dust for a year. Then they'll go months without a single mainline Elite series figure on the pegs. I don't know how anyone who has a casual interest in figures could be converted into a collector in this day and age. Who's going to want to start building a collection when their only options are Doudrop and Goldberg? I guess I'm just an old-timer, but back when I started collecting Hasbros, there were always at least 2 or 3 full sets of figures on pegs, even at the smaller chains. The same could be said for Jakks. You could build a healthy roster of guys in a single trip if you wanted to. |

Some of our Wal-Marts in the Toronto area have shelves clogged with Kama and Mae Young still.

At least by me (Midwest USA) it seems very inconsistent, and just seems to depend on what stock is, etc.. Sometimes an abundance of less-popular figures on shelves prevents stores from getting new waves in for a while, which can result in some waves just not showing up at some stores. I collect other toy lines, too, and it happens with them (Star Wars, Transformers, etc.). Unfortunately, none of these big box retailers care enough to be like "We'd better make damn sure we get some stock of Waves 96 and 97 of WWE Elite figures before we stock wave 98!!!"

E99 already? Damn. I haven’t seen any after E94 Same here. Surprisingly my 2 Walmarts each got the WrestleMania shipper. Both had the same elites (RA, WM, and Greatest Hits) while I’ve seen some are getting E98. Wonder why? |
