Picked up Yoko, hogan, the HOF cage and the four hoursemen at the Amherst st NH Target. 3 cages and 3 hoursemen left. A lot of product showed up on the tracker this morning. Nice, NH is starting to really pick-up. The Bedford inventory for HOF's has been low for a bit now, I'm wondering if they are up to get replenished soon. I'm hoping for close to the weekend as that may be my best chance to get up there and take a crack at getting a Yoko.

Agreed, it is out of character for that store. It usually a pretty well kept secret. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) I'm glad you found some items there today. May I invite you to share if they had any E34 Doink's? Also, is there still any of those exclusive Rocky's left? No Doink, 4 Rocky's TY

Sorry that happened to you. I go to that Target every once in awhile (haven't been there since early May) and I can tell you unequivocally that it was not me. I hope you find what you are looking for. Thanks. I'll find them eventually, it's just at that moment I was furious. I went back today because there was some weird activity on the tracker and it looks like someone returned some figures they couldn't unload on Ebay and bought some Elite 34. Out of now where there was a Tito, Slaughter and E26 Roman Reigns. Never had much of a problem with that kind of stuff at that store before. Agreed, it is out of character for that store. It usually a pretty well kept secret. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) I'm glad you found some items there today. May I invite you to share if they had any E34 Doink's?

Does anyone want to admit to getting the figures I had on hold at the hooksett , nh target today? Lame move a-hole. Sorry that happened to you. I go to that Target every once in awhile (haven't been there since early May) and I can tell you unequivocally that it was not me. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I woke up and checked the inventory tracker this morning and it stated that the Salem, NH Target had 18 HOF figures & 1 case of Horsemen sets (4 packs total).
I work in Salem so I stopped at the store before I had to be in.(approx. 8:15AM)
The pegs were stocked with 4 Tito's, 2 Hogan's, & 2 Eddies. I grabbed a Hogan & and an Eddie (already got Tito at the Nashua, NH Mall Target last Sunday - was the only series 2 figure they had).
I struck up a conversation with 3 friendly (2 guys & a girl) associates who were un-packing a pallet of toys. They informed that had stocked all of the HOF 2 figures they got (2 cases) and the female in the group informed me that a guy and his son were at the store when they opened (8AM) & bought all 4 of the in her words "Fat Asian Guy" which gave me a chuckle. (sorry if that offends anyone) Based on the inventory levels on the pegs when I arrived, I assumed that those two guys grabbed two Hogan's & two Eddie's as well.
From there, I politely inquired if they wouldn't mind retrieving a Horsemen set from the back for me which they were more than happy to do after a couple of floor manager approvals.
All in all, a pretty good trip with a funny comment to boot.
I now just have to find the big guy with the tag belts.

Decided to check Toys 'R Us in Nashua after work today...and the hunt IS FINALLY OVER! I finally found B47 Rusev! Man that took forever. They had BAF Kane set times at least 2, some Elite 33/34 (34s only being some Cenas and a Hogan I think), and not even the newer Battle Pack set...but don't care. Got Rusev! There were even two of him on the shelf! I want to say the whole set was there minus Fox, and surprisingly only one Christian. But whatever. Success is mine! Congrats on the find today Xtreme - the great feeling of finding what you have been after never gets old.

16 years!?!?. OMG, where does the time go?
Such a surreal night, it still affects me to think about it.

I hope we see the day that he will be honored by being inducted into the Hall Of Fame.

This is interesting info, good question by the OP. Thanks all for the responses.
I have been wondering this myself for a bit now as to why they do not do as much TV from MSG any longer.
If it is still a concept, I would love to see the WWE do "Old School" Raw once a year from MSG.

Made my obligatory stop at TRU in Nashua, NH today and it turns out in the time I was there last Saturday until today that they stocked E34.
They had at least one of everyone with the exception of Doink and Paige who were both sold out. Me personally, was only interested in Doink but oh well.
Additionally; did they ever stock up on Kane BAF sets! Multiples of each guy with the exception of Bryan which they only had a couple left of.

Me being in attendance (Not looking too likely ATM though) Bryan winning the Rumble and then the WWE title leading to a legitimate run (even less likely)Now for more realistic wishes Undertaker vs Sting Rock/Rousey vs Triple H/Steph, or a one-on-one match with the women in the corners Austin appearance Shield Triple Threat Cena vs. NXT guy with NXT guy going over (not getting my hopes up for this though) Big Show vs Kane in a double retirement match DX (New Age Outlaws/X-Pac) vs NWO (Hall, Nash, Hogan). Outlaws can still go, won't be much bumping and Hogan will barely do anything. Brock vs Orton (mainly because I've gotten this far and can't think of anything else for either of them) Attendance record legitimately broken, even if it isn't, WWE will still claim it was. And the one I hope for most of all... NO LAGGING ON THE WWE NETWORK STREAM Thank you for this one. That is also one of my to wishes as well. If he is somehow able to return and get the "spot" back I think it will trump the emotion of last year's chase. I hope for him, us, ....... all of us. YES!

Fantastic match, false finishes & color the hard way.
Other performers had better bring their A games tonight.

Thanks for confirming, sounds like it hasn't changed much since I was there about a week and a half ago. When I found out that Cena was in the E34 set, I was actually planning on purchasing him as I had managed to stay Cena free on the figure front and I didn't think the Kane BAF set would ever be available at retail. However; when the Kane set finally showed up I scrapped my E34 Cena purchase plan. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) when I bought that whole set. I have been working with the hypothesis that "our" area Targets will see some cases of E34 & E35 within the next 2-7 weeks. (long time frame I know) I have been watching the inventory tracker listed on the main page pretty closely as well as physically going to the following stores while taking a mental inventory (which is well subject to error) Nashua Mall - Confirmed on this board in April to have stocked cases of E34 at least once, currently they have best of's. My thought is that they will get E35 1st Nashua NW (close to Amherst) - Last time I was there was still well stocked with E32 Bryan & E32 Rey Rey & E33's - tracker lists that store's inventory at 12 & I don't recall seeing that they have stocked single cases of E34 yet as I have not seen any Cena's there. My hope is that they get at least a set of E34'S next Bedford - was stocked with most of the usual suspects in E32 & E33 (last time I was there, they still had a Big E & an E30 Brock) - tracker lists that store's inventory at 11. Again a hopeful to get a least a case of E34's next. Hooksett - E32's & 7 exclusive Rocky's (I don't totally remember if they have even gotten E33 yet) - tracker lists that store's inventory at 10. Perhaps a chance they get E34 next, maybe even a chance they get E33 next. Salem (NH) - for the longest time, all they had were E30 Brock & Ryback then about 3 weeks ago, they were loaded with all the best of's (I think the tracker may have had them around 30 total elites at one point). I also saw the remnants of a single case of E34 there once as I saw Cena, Barrett, & 1 Rusev (I think they may have stocked E34's & the best of's at the same time) - Perhaps their next cases are E35 I suppose some of the larger wild-cards that would throw a wrench in my theories are that I am assuming that stores will re-stock on the same distribution one after the other schedule, best of elites cases (current & perhaps some of the upcoming speculated on the main page) could bump E34's or E35's, or if figures continue to shelf-warm. Okay, that is as much as my feeble brain can logically muster. Any constructive help is appreciated. Thanks. Do You Know When peabdoy Will Be Getting Elite 34/35? We had elite 33 for months Sorry Curb, I wish I knew but Peabody is out of coverage range For the last few weeks I have been using the Brock Lesnar approach to hunting: - Check the same 5 Targets in my state within a 15 mile radius
- Find no figures but come home with groceries so my wife doesn't conquer
- Repeat
![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) I hope that you find the figures you are looking for soon.

Wow Xtreme that is nuts. I don't think I have ever even bothered going into that store but maybe I will have to more often now-lol. Agreed, prices do not seem to align with the big box stores but options are always a good thing. How was Target looking? Last time I was there they appeared to be well stock with the best of elite cases. Oh yes, very "Best of" case-like. From what I see there, no one wants the E34 Cena, there were at least 4 of them warming the pegs. Basics were a mashup of a few different sets, nothing impressive. Thanks for confirming, sounds like it hasn't changed much since I was there about a week and a half ago.

Also saw that same Toys R Us today, didn't get anything myself either. But what shocked me was what I found inside the mall. I found Elite 35, minus Earthquake...but not at Target. But at....Josh's Toys and Games. A store I never thought sold action figures. A store that I almost always ignore, but I stopped in since I was killing time waiting for a mall employee friend of mine to get off work so we can hang. Problem with finding figures in such a random store like that? Price inflation. Their Elites were $25 and their Basics (best of 2014 mostly) were either $14 or $15. But still. Wow. Figures at THAT place. Wow Xtreme that is nuts. I don't think I have ever even bothered going into that store but maybe I will have to more often now-lol. Agreed, prices do not seem to align with the big box stores but options are always a good thing. How was Target looking? Last time I was there they appeared to be well stocked with the best of elite cases.

Had to go to the dentist in Nashua, NH today so I stopped into TRU to see what they had:
Remnants of B44 thru 48 - none of the notables An assortment of the last few series of BP's For elites - looks like they were working thru the latest best of elite case had a few DM Razors Almost 2 full sets of BAF Kane's - breakdown was 2 UT's, 2 Bray's, 2 Cena's & 1 Bryan.
I left w/nothing but came home to the mailman dropping off my E35 HHH, RKO, & Harper that I ordered from Amazon.

Please accept my apologies for the multiple subjects today, but since the thread has been quiet lately I would like to invite the groups' opinions on something that I have been wondering about lately. Caring for the fact that there is a Connecticut findings thread, a Rhode Island findings thread, & this one where it looks like most of us "New Hampshireites" contribute as well (I actually did find an NH thread but it hasn't been updated since 2013) I'm curious if anyone has any info on what retail looks like for WWE figures in Maine & Vermont? I think that old New Hampshire thread was created when the Version 2.0 of this thread was locked due to fighting. After Mass Version 3.0 was born, the NH thread died. I hit a few stores in Maine a couple years ago and based on the number of 'collector desired' figures I saw, I don't think there are large number of die hard collectors (or scalpers) there. Maine was actually the only place I ever saw the first Bella's 2-pack at retail and it was many months after it's release. I went up to Ogunquit last year, but didn't stop at any stores, just the beach. I don't think I have even been to Vermont since Mattel got the license. I haven't had a reason to go and it's wouldn't make financial sense to drive all that way to look for figures. [/quote]Posted by Chip 21 hours ago . few years ago i was in Burlington VT on vacation and i hit a Toys R Us in Williston on the way back...it's where I found Basic 10 Wade Barrett after looking for him for awhile in this area. So random but I was excited at the time.[/quote] [/quote]Posted by retrojordanwwefigure 10 hours ago . Yea maine don't have mainy collectors I think . About 2 weeks ago my lady went to visit her mom in Maine and stopped at a wal mart I wanna say in or around Sanford Maine she found a boatload of e33 xpacs n jyd and mania heritage that looked untouched she even sent pics at the time but I already had them figs but yea any way they were fully stocked so she got there at the right time or they just don't sell fast there [/quote] All, thanks for the feedback on my questions. Great info. I don't think it is economically viable to regularly head north but if I do get up there I will be on the lookout.

Target in seekonk has the whole set of elite 34 as of 8pm Thanks for the update Joey. Seekonk is way too far for me in the here and now & without any hard data, it seems that the trend lately is when figures are reported in the "South" they usually make their way to my neck of the woods inside of the next two weeks so I will be on the lookout.
