found an Elite ADR at the Target in Stoughton, MA (  , or near there) lady wouldn't pull anything from the back for me  I'm gonna make a few stops on the way home, hoping to grab the full set. oh and i STILL haven't seen Elite 11 Punk. I may get the complete Elite 12 set before I get Punk. |

I had that same thing happen to me back when Legends 2 came out. I don't know if anyone remembers it but I was looking for Jake The Snake and I knew they had the rest of the set in the back. But they told me they can't bring anything out for customers until what's out is gone. The reason the manager gave me was it's to stop scalpers from buying up everything.

i remember that.
it's stupid, if a customer wants to buy something...go and get it.
when they ask you at the registers "did you find everything you were looking for?"
id say absolutely not.

epic night
found Elite 12 Papa Shango & Kane at Seekonk Target they were the only ones they had on the shelf from E12. I asked the kid working there if he had more and he just said "no" and walked away...Target employees are so generous and kind, they really go out of their way to help a customer (no offense megapowers, im sure YOU are a good dude)
then strolled over to Seekonk Walmart...
I FINALLY FOUND ELITE 11 CM PUNK!!!!!
They must have just stocked a case, they had everyone. Christian x2, Rey x3, Cena x2, Barrett & Miz.
Incredible. Today was absolutely a banner day for me & figure hunting.

I'm happy for you, Chip! We're not all like that, I love helping people out especially when it comes to figures.

i know what you mean, just because im over the age of 14 and want to buy wrestling figures doesn't mean i'm a scalper. which is probably what some people think.
i very rarely ask anyone to go and search the back for me at any store...the few times i have, ive got no help.
So the search continues, gotta get E12 Bryan, Orton & Gabriel and I'll be all caught up. Until Legends 6 finally hits.

Man I wish I had your kind of luck Chip. It's getting to the point where I sometimes don't even want to check stores around here because I know I'm going to walk out disappointed. Especially when I see so many people on here finding things like Elite 11, 2 Packs 11, Legends 6 and now Elite 12.

Damn I wish Attleboro wasn't so far away from me. I'd love to be able to go there right now and pick up that Gabriel.

looks like i know where ill be stopping on the way home (sorry Toxic)
i know how you feel about going to stores, it sucks because i hit ALOT of stores on almost a weekly basis and come up empty handed. ive learned over time to be persistent and eventually it will pay off (as evident by what happened to me over the weekend and yesterday)

Today was not my day at all. First I order The Rockers and they go on back-order so I had to cancel my order. Than I go out figure hunting and finally find Elite 11 at Walmart here in Lisbon and of course Punk was gone.  Oh and I went and paid for my Ryder ticket. I asked the guy what happened to the big card show/signing they were supposed to do and he said they can't do it right now due to the mall remodeling and stuff. He also told me they are in talks with Buffalo Wild Wings (which is opening in the mall on Sunday) to start showing the WWE PPV's. If the plan goes through he said they are thinking of bringing in some wrestlers and having PPV party/signings. |

So am I the only one in the area that still needs Punk? It seems you've all found him now except for me. I really wish I lived closer to Attleboro as it seems that is the hot spot for finding new stuff.

anyone in need of Entrance Greats Undertaker or Rock? or Piper or DiBiase? There are about 10 of each at the Burlington Coat Factory on the East Providence/Pawtucket line. $9.99 price tag. Boy am I glad I ordered Rock from Amazon for $20 earlier this year...and paid someone on the board $18 for their Undertaker loose.  Also there are a couple Wrestlemania 27 Elite Stone Cold's at the Attleboro TRU. I just noticed, after buying one, that he doesn't even come with a stand!! Ridiculous. I didn't go by Target otherwise I woulda grabbed that Punk, lol. I'd love to keep one MOC. Walmart has nothing...there is a Slater/Christian pack, but it seems like no one cares about that anymore since the new one will be coming out (Slater/Gabriel) I spent 5 minutes organizing their WWE merch, putting crapback on pegs etc. Maybe it will get them to stock something NEW FFS |
