Well, guys, I had been dreaming of a day like this since I held my first He-Man figure. Ypsi and Belleville were both strikeouts, and then I hit South Canton. What I saw was magical and stunning: 2 full cases of 69 AND a full case of 68 lay before me. Knowing there was no news of 69 hitting G-Rap yet, I instantly thought of my buddy, as well as the beat-up boxes on my Mabel and Pat. I realized I needed a cart. I wish we all could have seen me do the awkwardly fast walk like I had diarrhea running down my leg. Also like having a diarrhea leg, I then cleaned up. They must've just put it all out that morning. I'm actually glad I had to work or I would've already been there and struck out hours before. The only thing I needed that they didn't have was red Ali. WalMart South Canton 2019-08-23 by Ryan B, on Flickr The lady presiding over the U-scan registers just stared at me the entire time I was checking out, like "are you seriously spending $150 on wrestling dolls?" (I'm certain that's the word she would have used.) My buddy wanted Ali, Ciampa, and Ricochet, and I needed (sic) all those plus Rey. Chase Mabel and Pat in better boxes for trading was a no-brainer too. As I rang up, I did the latter two first, which rang up $15.88 like normal. And then it took until the fourth 69 guy before I noticed that somehow the unbelievably fortunate pricing mistake (could it really be anything else?) was occurring here too, and they rang up at 7 FREAKING DOLLARS apiece! I legit felt like I was getting away with a heist. I paused and thought "I could easily justify Lashley and a Ric to keep pristine at that price." But I was too far into checking out to go back, and dagger-eye lady probably wondered why I stopped and looked guilty. Besides, I was planning to continue on to East Canton to look for red Ali and could probably add those on there. Even though they weren't all going to be mine, whether by trade or favor, it was life-affirming buying all those figures at once with reckless abandon and having that "I caught a huge break, hit the jackpot for self, and can now help others too" feeling. It was a true dream trip....so much so, that the empty shelves at Canton East didn't break my stride at all. I headed straight back down 275 to get that Lashley and a Rey for my buddy, who by now obviously wanted one at that ridiculous price. I convinced myself I also needed 68 Bryan after passing him by 5+ times before, since I saved all the money on the 69 guys, and damnit, that's a dope outfit. His match against Murphy on this week's Smackdown got me charged up to want him too. Aaaaaand I also justified a full price Basic 98 Warrior on those grounds (minus the match against Murphy...imagine that trainwreck). I made sure to go to the other set of U-scans this time. No daggers there. I wish I would've been able to post all this after I got home but I pretty much dropped dead. I took a pic of what I left there as of about 10am. WalMart South Canton 2019-08-23 by Ryan B, on Flickr The best part of all of it was opening them all with my 21-month old son. Pretty much all he does is stand a guy on the turnbuckle, lift him another foot into the air, and chuck him into the ring at whoever might be laying there as he says with heavy emphasis, "JUMPED!". He also likes putting guys through the announce table. All this will result in lots of paint-trading I'm sure, so the instinct to buy a $7 Ric to keep was well reinforced. Here's my total haul laid out at home. I need to start going to meetings. WalMart South Canton 2019-08-23 by Ryan B, on Flickr TO THE TWO ABOVE WHO OFFERED A RED ALI: I got you both. My buddy will also want one, and now I can appease both of you hopefully with whichever of the two guys you want. I'll be PMing you sooner than later, but bear with me as I'm a nocturnal mutant, and I'll be traveling to G-Rap and K-zoo this weekend to deliver Marvel and WWE figures I've picked up to my buddy and brother. Alphadelta, I have no qualms about sending at the same time. I think you're too addicted to this board to pull some shady ish and disappear or something. :-) EDIT: Apparently it was not quite two full cases of 69, as there was only the one Lashley I grabbed...unless somebody snatched one between my two trips. NICE SCORE!!!

grabbed the only Elite 69 figure at White Lake Walmart (Mysterio) because it was only $7
also had 4 Battle Packs of Nakamura/Balor for $4, and (3) Retro Sheamus for $2.50 (grabbed 1 of those as well)
and everything else was just the usual stuff
also Waterford Kmart Has a ton of the Ultimate Fan Packs of Bayley and Sasha Banks for $3.50 each (usually $14, currently all clearance toys are an additional 75% off), nothing else worth mentioning there

Flint Target had a bunch of Elite AJ Styles from E66 and Top Talents, not much to note otherwise...
Also, has anyone happened to see the Iron Man/Iron Spider Marvel Legends 2-pack at any Targets?

Another Patterson in Belleville just an hour ago, and non-chase Mabel. Left them there (not interested). Seem to find Patterson easily but no $7 Elite 69 lol.

Nothing yet on E69 at Target. It’s gotta be hitting soon unless something got f’ed up with the Liv and Sonya figures. Watch them only be packed in west coast cases like The Rock.

2 Target stores in MI got new cases of Elites this morning: Livonia (Plymouth Rd) and K-zoo (Westnedge). Livonia’s case wasn’t out yet at 9:30am and probably still isn’t, as the count has not decreased from 8 yet.
Here’s the bad news: per my brother the case in K-zoo DID make it out. It’s frickin 68. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first report of 68 in Target in the US. Not like that’s a good thing though. I’m pretty sure everybody would’ve been just fine with them skipping right to 69 and getting Liv and Sonya in some people’s hands already.

Went to South Canton Target today for some pretzel buns for the jalapeño cheeseburgers I’m making tonight. They had 2x ultimate edition Rousey, along with some remnants of E66 (AJ, Angle, and 2x regular Owens) and E93. They also still have a Berzeker. I’m tempted to find a manager and tell them I’ll take it for half price.

Hmmmm. To my dismay I did find out I’m low on jalapeños and do have to make another frickin grocery run after my soon-to-commence nap. I was already going to go to Canton Meijer, so a few more miles down Ford Rd for a couple clearance Elites sounds like an even better idea. Good lookin’ out, dude!
