As with most everyone, I was so excited for the Royal Rumble Heritage Shawn, Bret and Goldust figures. I waited patiently for these guys to start popping up, but with every passing day it slowly became less likely. In the past two months, I've been hitting every store that stocks WWE within a two hour drive of my home and I have come up empty handed... as far as RRH goes at least.
Seven Walmarts, two Kmarts, two Targets, two Kohls and two TRU stores and not one of them have stocked RRH, and I've driven these poor people crazy constantly asking them to check the back and look up UPCs. Now, we are just now getting Basic 15 (still haven't found Brodus Clay), but yesterday I ran up on Wrestlemania Heritage. Is this a sign that my area just completely missed RRH?!
I really want these guys, but I wanted desperately to find them in stores so I could avoid having to shell out $20 a pop for em'. Is this just my area, or are these MIA for anyone else?

Seems the same here in Birmingham, Alabama. I have checked week after week, and finally gave up and traded on the classifieds board, as HBK was the only one I really wanted. And we have already moved on to Basic 15 here too.

Theres a similar response to ur question in a thread called "Randy Orton Epidemic" or something like that..
Basically "Yes" you missed it.. the computer randomly - orders,ships,restocks all items. If your stores are always full, then you will probaly miss out on alot series's. Computers run the show . if it shows its fully stocked. it wont order the next batch (series) and boom the unevidble happens and you miss out till you run out of the current items, thats why you see such a mix when you go..
Unless they have cases beyond cases stting back there, but i doubt that. thats why they almost have nothing in the back except what comes on trucks for that week or month or whatever..

I seen 1 case at 3 different K-Marts and hasn't restocked since. I think this wave is done.

RRH has been easily the hardest set to find in my area, i think they showed up at 2 Kmarts, 1 had about 2-3 cases and never got more in (never saw Bret, Goldust or Shawn) and the other Kmart had 1 case and never saw any of the good figures either
I got my Goldust from Kohls and Shawn and Bret from Amazon

Every time I see RRH it's leftover Reys and jomos. I missed out on Bret and goldust but I did get HBK. Never saw the set other than Kmart but did get my HBK at a rite aid.

One of my K marts JUST put out a case last week. Only figure I missed was Bret. I remember though, a ton of stores around me missed on Basic 10 when it was new then SEVERAL months after it had been out it started popping up like new when basic 11 and 12 should have been coming in. Im sure they will show up EVENTUALLY...

They never showed up here either. Luckily I was able to grab HBK from Amazon.

I too have not seen RRH in a store. I am pretty sure this is the only set I have not come across at least once since Mattel took over the license, but I am still holding out hope that I will find it soon.

I haven't seen it anywhere, which is annoying, since I desperately want HBK.

Other than at 1 Kohl's store where I saw all except Bret I've not seen them anywhere. I got my 2 Bret's from RSC & JokerFC.

I found them once...at a local KMart. I got the Bret, passed on the Goldust (got the Elite and switched out parts w/a basic) but I never found an HBK. They will show up....WalMarts are doing tons of resets in most stores and usually put out stuff which they sit on for some reason.
Mattel stuff always comes out sooner or later, they just give vendors like RSC plenty of time to sell things first and then later its available everywhere, at least for a short time.

i ordered them on RSC when they went up. Really glad I did after hearing the horror stories of finding it in retail.

I ordered a Bret from RSC the first day they were up for pre-order. I thought paying $28 for a Basic was pretty crazy, but considering the distribution in my area and how short-packed he was, I'd say it was well worth it. RRH just showed up in my area yesterday, but of course the only ones left were Reys & JoMos. They did have one Goldust though.

None of our stores in my area got them. I ordered Shawn and Bret from Mattelshop when they had them.

Try looking in local Stop N Shop super markets. Believe it or not I have spotted a few Mysterios and Morrisons in Stop N Shop. I'm having the same problem, I really wanted the 3 flash back figures and my local Wal Mart got one shipment of them in and that was it, really sucks.
