Finally got the call for in-store pick-up. They didn't want to honor the original preorder price, but I showed them my original purchase email and they gave it to me for $24.99. Pristine packaging, too!

According to their site, most of the stores near me have it, but...not the one I preordered it from.
EDIT: I went out and got it to be safe. Now we'll see if the one I preordered ever appears.

Nothing for me yet either. Guess I should stop by today or tomorrow. Called my Gamestop & they said it still shows “In transit “

I'm in the same boat, preorder w/ ship to store. I just dropped by the local Gamestop and asked about it, and they said it's in transit (the manager actually looked up the item in the shipments), likely to be in on Friday. Hopefully it's the same for you. Still waiting for Gamestop to call me.

Thanks for the heads up! I ordered one two months ago for in-store pickup and so far, nothing.

Well, I like it, anyway. Always wanted a Steph from that era!
Hopefully Austin's eye isn't all messed up in the final product.

Was there a reason they did that? Other than they just screwed up? I don’t know. Oh, you know Jakks. Probably Chinese New Year.

Thanks! Preordered! If pics show up later and I don't like it, I can always cancel...

Diesel Jarrett Big Show Goldust
If they make just those four, I'd be forever happy.

That Nakamura is amazing! Balor coulda been cooler though.

She ain't shelf-warming around me. She did move slowly since she was double-packed, but now I can't find her anywhere. I wish I'd picked her up when I had the chance. Maybe at the next Ringside sale...

Not sure how relevant this is to what the OP encountered, but my local Walgreens, which had become the most reliable source for new WWE Elite releases in my area, just got in Bo Dallas and Dean Ambrose from Elite 36. Those definitely count as old IMO!

With Retrofest, Wal-Mart Flashbacks Elite Series 2, and (I think) Hall of Champions 2-packs on the way...it shouldn't be too long! Shawn Michaels. I've got 97, not counting anything before Jakks' RA era. (28 counting only Mattel.) I'll post pics once I hit 100. Also 14 Stephanie McMahons and 13 Sgt. Slaughters. 97 HBKs??!! I can't wait for the pictures when you get to 100.

Can’t say I’m shocked it moved back. I think I’m gonna pat myself on the back, Barry Horowitz style. Here we go again. Let's see if it sticks this time!

The only time I keep a figure MOC is if I already have a loose figure of that same wrestler. Generally, I display loose and have no more than 1 of any given wrestler on my shelves. However, I'm a completist for a few specific characters such as Shawn Michaels, Samoa Joe, and Sgt. Slaughter, and I give each of them their own separate display area, and sometimes that includes keeping some figures MOC.
I've also been keeping the Retro figs MOC so far.

I want a better look, but that might be the HHH I've always wanted.

I don't see why it's so hard to include legends and current stars in each wave (which, yes, I know they've done somewhat, particularly in Wave 1). This whole concept is built on nostalgia, so legends seems like the obvious choice, but if Mattel is so determined that these have kid appeal and thus they need current stars for them to sell, they could at least balance it out a little with legends. Seems like the sensible thing to if they want to appeal to the widest audience.
One way or another, I really want a Big Show from this line. And obviously a Diesel.

Last time I saw a fresh case out on the shelves, it looked like there was one of each figure with the briefcase, and one of each without.
