Stopped at the WM in Salem, NH after work which still did not have enough elites in stock to price match the TRU sale (1 E32 Bryan in the whole place) even if I wanted to-lol.
They were still loaded with B45's (still no Mankind). Additionally; all of the DM Razor's that I saw there last week (my count was in the teens) were gone. Scalpers must love that place.
I then went a little out of my way and hit the Derry WM on my way home. They had the whole T-shirt series (1 Piper), remnants of B47 (just Kane & Brock) & tons of B45's which I carefully looked thru and was finally able to get the elusive Mankind I have been searching for. (last one)
On the elite front then had a few E30 Batista's & Ryback. Also had a few each of DM Hogan & Razor.

Walmart Saugus-scalperland. Remnants of B47 no sign of Rusev or Foxy. TONS of e32 Bryan and e33 Cesaro. No other elites. I wanted a fucming wm31 kane too ugh. Toys R Us Peabody. Was expecting something good for the sale. Walked into a disgusting display of nothing but elite Bryans and Punks. I just couldn't do it even for the sale. I couldn't find any paper Ads either so I just took one of the sale signs off the empty pegs. They had tons of WM31 basics but not one Hogan. I think it was all Cena tbh. What a waste Walmart Danvers was decent. Had a good amount of e33 so I figured id capitalize on the sale and grab a JYD and Seth. I had no issues price matching at the register (besides my phone taking forever to load the AD) they had a random array of basics as well nothing new or noteworthy though. Kmart Saugus had tons of B44 and one random B42 cara which I had actually been looking for for a while. I got it off eBay a month or two ago though. Also lots of DM hogans. All for 29.99 lmfao. They have some weird endcap on the side that no one looks at as well and that's loaded with the same stuff. B44 and DM hulk. Toys r us express in mall still doesn't have any wwe figures since xmas. Dissapointing trip but at least I got some decent figs for cheap. It's like my immediate area goes through the good stuff like wildfire , or just plain doesn't get it in. It's becoming a huge hassle. Glad you at least came up with something Ryback. The deal (2 for $25)at its core is actually pretty good.

Greg,
Taking a more optimistic view-point, you really paid $160 for 5 figures if you count the Kane. (I do)
So $32 per figure is alrady improving your margin-lol.
In closing, I say to each his (or her) own. If you wanted them, you got them. Good for you.

Just checked out the TRU in Salem, NH. Much of the same - the 2 for $25 sale consisted of mostly E32's & 33's (no X-Pac or JYD)
Some WM Heritage basics & 2 packs - no elite Kane or UT. Certainly no BAF Kanes or E34's
Also hit KMart in Salem, NH. Nothing too special a few shelf warming basics, DM Hogan's, Matadors 3 packs, & Austin, Axel, Brock 3 packs.

Wrestlemania. Brock wins Rollins cashes in. Brock wins. Extreme Rules triple threat with Reigns and Rollins. Brock wins. Summerslam vs Sheamus. Brock wins. Royal Rumble vs Orton. Brock wins. Wrestlemania 32 vs Bryan....... I'd so be in favor of this. Throw in a Bryan I-C title win at this years Mania, lose the title to Ambrose at Survivor Series, & win the Rumble & nothing would please me more.

Sweet fancy Moses! I have not seen pegs of Hasbro's like that since the early 90's. Reminds me of back in the day, walking into Kay-Be or TRU to hunt for them.
Brings back wonderful memories.
I missed this thread altogether when it was hot so from my perspective, I appreciate the bump.
Thank you.

TRU in Nashua was average - nothing "super special"
No Kane BAF's, E34's, or WM31 elites (think I read only E34 if they had any would qualify for the sale)
For the 2 for $25 sale they had most of E32, (didn't see Cody) and some E33's, (only Rollins, Ceasaro, & Blue) & JR BAF ADR & Punk of course.
A few WM Heritages basics and that was it.
I work in Salem, NH, & I am going to check that TRU tomorrow on my lunch-break.

I would love a Sid w/ the winged eagle title.
I have been building my display to every guy who held the winged eagle title displayed with that belt. By my calculations, Sid & Backlund are the only holders of that particular belt that have not been produced (by Mattel) yet.
Also, pretty please Mattel.

Kane,Taker and the JR BAF that are online are not part of the sale. I was just noticing that as well. The only elite figures that I saw featured online in the 2 for $25 sale section were: E31 Batista, Jey Uso, & Brock.

Revere target had out several cases of Summerslam Heritage including Ted Dibiase. I bought a taker , the only one I didn't buy when I originally found them over the summer Thanks for the heads-up. I will have to check out a Target or two in my travels, as I totally missed this whole series & could use an UT & maybe a HHH too.

As Of yesterday afternoon wal mart in Fairhaven had pegs and pegs filled With the basic set that had steamboat and mankind at least 5-7 of each steamboat and mankind and then obviously they had the others from the set (can't recall who they were ) no elites or wm heritage figs That's what the Salem, NH WM was like about a week & a half ago (still is for the most part) sans Mankind. I'm still holding out hope that I will come across Mick in my travels.

Hello,
So I ended up going to the Salem, NH Wal-Mart anyway.
I counted at least 15 DM Razors. 14 now after the one I bought.
Ironically enough, all the DM Hogan's were gone.
No B48's yet.
Thanks.

Sorry guys it is Salem MA. I was there when the guy opened the case. There were 4 in a case. I didn't pick anything up. I'm mostly a basic collector. No worries, thanks for clarifying.

Hi Again All,
Update for parts of Southern NH. Today:
Salem, NH Target:
About 4 or 5 B44's left at 9.98 A couple of H.O.F. SCSA's & Warriors A few DM Hogan's Shelves clogged with E30 Ryback & Brock (zero E32's or 33's)
Salem, NH Wal-Mart
0 E33's, 0 WM Elites (only Elite in the whole store was an E32 Bryan) Tons of Wyatts & Warrior/Cena 2 packs A few of the new basic Signature Series A few DM Hogan's Some T-Shirt series (everyone but Piper) The rest consisted of the pegs busting with MULTIPLES of everyone from B45 except Mankind, of which there was a big zip. (thinking they were all scalped)
Hudson, NH Wal-Mart:
Ground is well covered here but I will say since the 1st time I saw that store re-stocked (about a week and a half ago) figures are flying out of there. Allot of the usual suspects there & I will say they had good inventory on all of BP32 (multiples of each set - must have counted 5 or 6 NAO packs)
I had two pick-ups in the form of 1 Bluetista & I got the only T-shirt Piper in house
Hudson, NH, Walgreens:
1 case of B44 - that is all I was casually looking for the exclusive Rock but it is not a priority to me.
That was my day.
I am thinking of heading to the Wal-Mart in Derry, NH this weekend as that seems like an under utilized resource. There is also a Big Lots over that way, so I can make it a two stop.

First time posting on here, but since I did a hunt today, might as well. I hit up Nashua's Amherst St locations. Well, to be fair, I started at Walmart which was technically in Amherst, but same street. Walmart:Elite 33, full set T-Shirt series, full set Signature Series, full set (damn the Ambrose for being too short, if it was more accurate I'd now own it) BP 32, one with Usos/NAO, full set Wrestlemania Elites Kane/Taker Flashback Elite Hogan Remnants of BP47, not the good ones, no Rusev or Fox, wanted the Rusev so it was kinda sad So, yeah, stocked as hell, minus the chase Series 47 figures. I'm not an Elite collector, new to Mattel, so basics are fine for me. I wanted the Rusev, but oh well.Big Lots:Remnants of Series...uh, 43? First fig of Bray, Fandango, etc. Bunch of OLD global superstars Sheamus I only went just to check, and to get one of the Sheamus' that I knew they'd still have. I don't have one in my small (now 8 figure) Mattel collection, preparing for his comeback.Target:Remnants of Series 44 Remnants of Elite 32 A couple Hall of Fame SCSAs They're the ones with the figures on sale, so of course they have to be the least stocked and oldest stocked. I would've gotten the Series 44 Rollins, as again I don't have one, but I was out of luck.And then I stopped at Walgreens, but all they had was the slightly newer Global Superstars set, but with their $12.49 price, it's no wonder they warm shelves. I plan to check out Target and Toys R Us, and maybe the Hudson Walmart, after I get out of work in the area on Wednesday just to see what they have. Thanks for the run-down & welcome to you, I head to that area once every two weeks or so - maybe I will check it out again soon based on your report. Sounds like WM was well stocked.

Walmart hooksett NH - about 3 cases of E33. Most are located on an end cap near the party supplies/Easter stuff. Multiples of all signature series. No wrestlemania figures. Thanks for the FYI. I don't get up to the Hooksett WM that often but when I do the selection usually seems pretty good.

I went to Target in Nashua, NH this morning (3/8) highlights were: B44's on sale for 9.98 ea. They had 2 E33 Rollins & 1 Reigns - passed on them as I am interested in the other 4 guys in the set which they did not have Also had what I perceived to be a whole case of series 1 H.O.F. (1 Slaughter & 1 Trish on the pegs - the rest were Warrior & SCSA) Then I went to Wal-Mart in Hudson, NH: They had several of each figure available in the WM Basic Sig Series 2014 Multiples of each figure in B47 (May have only been 1 or 2 Fox though) Additionally; they had multiple of every figure available in the current WM Heritage basic series 1 T-shirt Cena (light green shirt) - no other T-shirts 3 DM Hogan's Lastly they had 4 each of the WM Elites Kane & UT (I got 1 Kane as I already have an UT) As a side question: What are everyone's thoughts as to if Target will stock B45 at some point at retail since they still seem to be on B44 or has the B45 ship sailed at retail? Thanks. Great report. I shop those stores, can you clarify Nashua Target Mall or Amherst St and also if you find anything good can you hide it and post, I will too. I need B48 Brie if you can ever find it. It was the mall Target. I am a recently transplanted (from MA) southern NH resident, & I didnt realize the other Target was also in Nashua. I thought it was in Amherst, NH so thanks for education there. I will be happy to squirrel away Brie (I don't collect divas - lol) or anybody else you may seeking if I come across them as I am pretty selective who I collect & save for a few exceptions only collect world champions.

As a side question: What are everyone's thoughts as to if Target will stock B45 at some point at retail since they still seem to be on B44 or has the B45 ship sailed at retail?
Thanks.
