I have not seen one (regular or chase) in the five Targets in my surrounding area yet. I am only interested in the chase, so I'm not chancing ordering online.

I don't support scalping often - but these are selling for 50 shipped on eBay for a chase. I don't think that's too bad of a deal, once you figure shipping, tax, etc.

I asked an employee on release day and he thankfully went and got me one because I’ve seen no sign of him since and apparently I’m not alone

I went to two different Targets and never saw even the regular, so about a week ago I bought a chase in really good box condition for like $55 after tax and shipping. I feel the more trouble people have finding him, the higher the prices will go up.

I've found the regular release with ease, and the variant once.

They are ordering far less now. Days of waiting on a sale are over

Days of waiting on a sale are over I feel like the past few legends sets have been like this in my area, the dark skin toned ultimate warrior sat for a bit but he also had several ultimates before that meanwhile this is the first and possibly only ultimate yoko we’re gonna get

There are a couple at Targets in neighboring cities to mine, but I don’t want to travel that far and I already have the first and second elites and that’s enough Yoko for me.

The best time to nab one onlime is in the middle of the night. At 2:30am Target had at least one available. This was not the first time for that either.

As I continue my exclusive quest to find a Yokozuna in the wild I had an unfortunate experience. I was at a near by Target when I saw one of their workers putting out merchandise in the toy dept. I took a chance and asked the guy if the Mattel boxes on his cart had any Ultimate Yokozuna figures. The guy turned around and said " look, I'm tired of hearing about this Yokozuna toy, if it's not on the shelf we don't have it". I was stunned at his rude response but having worked retail myself in the past just chalked it up to him having a bad day. Anywho, any of you guys had similar experiences asking retail employees about their stock?

Here's the issue, I keep checking Target online and it will show 2-3 available and then they go away. I already bought one on the 3rd and for some reason they keep showing them as available for a few hours then they are gone, but my order is still on backorder? This is really weird and odd to me. If you want, check out Target.com once or twice a day and you will see what I mean. If they are available, then why is my order not being fulfilled? **Edit** Now it's listed as clearance. I am of the belief that this figure was purposely shorted due to the poor sales of the Warrior Ultimate Edition. That's my only thought.

Was able to get a chase at retail. There are no peg holes in the feet!

I stopped by one Saturday, there were 3 on the shelf, no chases. Bought one, returned the following afternoon for a price adjustment because that was the day the sale appeared. Noted there were still 1 or 2 Yokos on the shelf at sale price.

That wave was readily available at every target. Saw yoko last week. Already have 2 of each version. Best thing to do is go out on release day. If you order online keep in mind that inventory sold in the morning = you will have to wait for the next shipment. Best thing to do is order 4 (full case) so you get the chase.
Edit: that was in regards to ordering online on release day. I did both last time and by the end of the day got a message that they did not have the inventory to fulfill the order i made before the store opened. So yeah their employees dont pick them out for online orders until after lunch usually so you have to take your chances at store opening on release day.

Saw two yesterday, marked down, grabbed another one. I have this thing where I grab ones I’m beyond stoked on & the idea of a scalper getting it is maddening.

If he has Yoko head to the checkout. If he doesnt, give him the Banzi Drop and tell him that's from Mr Fuji and the great country of Japan.

I am of the belief that this figure was purposely shorted due to the poor sales of the Warrior Ultimate Edition. That's my only thought. If orders were decreased based off of previous sales, I don't think it would be due to just the figure released 3 months before it. Meaning they probably wouldn't have enough time to adjust Yoko's order based off of Warrior's sales. The order for Yoko was probably placed before Warrior even hit. Going to 4 a year and having 3 months of sales vs 6 most likely influenced a lower order quantity- assuming that actually did happen and it is just not a case of Yoko being more popular and the chase driving more sales.

Does Target still put out new stock at store opening? I know Walmart does it whenever they can get someone to pull and stock a pallet (which seems like early evening as often as not).
