I like that RR set. Just got a $5 TRU reward in my emails too. Time to go check.I figure with the characters I do have I can try my hand at customs.

Great Hills Target has an Emma (w/ the grandma knees) if anyone's still looking.

Their figs look cool and I'll buy 'em, but they sucked in NXT and they suck even worse on the main roster.

Yeah, they clearanced the older sets at the target in my area. I can only hope it's for the new sets.

I hope not. Never was a fan, I always thought she was sloppy in the ring.

Just saw 4 stings at the 4 points target in Austin Dang it, man. I don't feel like driving. Thanks for the tip. I work not too far from there, hopefully there's 1 left tomorrow

Oh, the possibilities. Not that we'd ever get these, but I'd like a Halloween Phantom, Yellow Dog and Black Scorpion to name a few.

I was wondering the same thing a few days ago. I hope so 'cause I need more figs/sets so I can finally display them. They've been clearanced down at one the Targets, hopefully for new SD merch

Man, I had no intentions of going there 'cause I really don't like that WM. I had just picked up my kids from the babysitter in the area and I needed a few groceries, so I was like screw it. Glad I went, but I wish there was at least one more. Sting is the only wrestler I collect loose and on card. how I hate that Walmart but it has gotten all the basics and all the elites every series every time even if it only gets one set it at least as always Got them For sure. I've definately found some gems in the past

Snagged Sting from the Norwood Park WM, so they've now hit Austin. Only one I saw.

I hate the entitlement and lack of patience that people have attained. It's just toys, you'll live, no need to let it ruin your's or someone else's day. okay but my thing is is I Sat here patiently and watched 44 sit for ever and when you finally get some you have series 49 you never got series 45 you never got series 46 you never got 47 48 so I think I've been pretty patient and Whole series are being skipped..at what point do I go hey man come on Man, I'll agree w/ on b45 cause I've only seen 'em twice, but I've seen 46 & 47 plenty of times between WM and Target... and yeah we need to get rid of those b44s

My now wife, then gf is the one that got me started. I used to pose my GI Joes in simple positions inside my Hasbro ring. One day she asked if I'd ever thought about collecting wrestling figs. I told her not really because they're kind of big. That same year during XMAS the TRU by my place was closing and she bought me crap loads of JAKKS and ECW stuff. I know she regrets it now jaja. She just picked up the HOF ring for my Fathers Day gift and the salesman was like "Cool. You're not one of those ones that makes him keep it in the garage." She's like *sigh* "it's my fault."

I'm not seeing in your post how RSC is better than Target? Also, aren't these all the Targets that have had the Hall of Fame/Horsemen sets that you've been buying for everyone that has been hard to find for most? Because they've now not had something you want you're going to crap on them? B49 has just slowly started to come into the stores. Coincidentally, @barrettbarrage texted me and picked me up an Emma less than an hour ago from Target. Also, to touch on what bootxparty said, its Target, its not WWE Toy House Junction, they may be imperfect or spotty when it comes to stocking figures. Also, the employees, unless they're WWE fans themselves could care less, because I'm sure Nerf/Lego/WWE are all the same to them. In fact, I haven't seen any store in the US really stock figures the way Smyths does in the UK. Its like people in the Sting/Wal-Mart thread, take a deep breath, you'll find your figures. I have yet to not see at least 2 of every figure at retail from elite 25 until now, and I have a stressful full time job, girlfriend and pet. Rsc is a last resort for me because after tax and shipping exclusive hbk cost me $36, I don't go to retail unless it's easy for me to go look and I use my brain. Also target employees don't care about wrestling dolls just like they wouldn't care if some random house wife wants to know why the target across town had grey hand towels and this one doesn't There's no such thing as patience these days. I'm really busy between work, my kids and house work, so I don't "hunt" because my time to me is precious, but I've yet to miss anything since series 1. E11 and the series w/ Trish and Rey were probably the most scarce. In the past I would order from them, but I'm done kicking myself in the ass after ordering from them only to find them at retail. I live in Austin too, and we sometimes fall behind, but eventually get them. RSC is cool, but I refuse to pay more than $3 over retail per figure after shipping. I don't care about having them first or months before retail. I did put in orders earlier today on 3 damaged packaging items and am only paying $7 over retail after shipping. That said I still prefer retail

I was gonna post earlier how I expected b 49 and 50 within the next couple of weeks in austin. The drought ain't nothin new, just part of the cycle. Be patient. I'm sure we'll see more of 48 as well, but not in typical places. Man, at this point I have this crapdown to a science

We've been stuck on 47 for a while, but not the first drought though. I live in a city (Austin, Tx) that gets everything, just gotta be patient.

I love these things. They are a bit pricey for the sets. I was on the fence about getting these for a while, but after seeing all the sets discounted around xmas I grabbed everything I could. I've grabbed a couple of things since at reg price, but I've learned my lesson to just be patient like I am with Mattel.
