i went to a bunch of targets this weekend with hardly any luck other than finding a b18 cody rhodes with super damaged packaging. i noticed all the stores have filled up their toy sections with all the new movie toys(amazing spider man, gi joe 2, dark knight rises, mib3) and all that new product has caused the wwe section to shrink. it seems like all the targets around me have changed their mattel section to 2 pegs for basics, 1 peg for elites and the rest of it is filled with old 2 packs, flexforce and rumblers. it sucks cause a full case of figures won't even fit on the pegs anymore. and employees will hardly ever pull anything from the back unless there's space.
it's disappointing since i like to casually hunt for figures and now i'm forced to buy most of my wwe stuff online.

Yes, I noticed this too. I don't think this is at every Target in my area, yet. One Target had 2 pegs of basics and 2 pegs of elites. Last week it was at least 4 and 4.

what hurts most is that target was the most up to date with wwe figures around my area. they just started getting in b18 and e14.

I don't think it can get slimmer at my Target. They have one FlexForce. That's it.

Mine has 2 pegs for battlepacks (just restocked with macho/punk series that Walmart has had for months), 1 peg for FF2packs, 3pegs for Basics that they finally stocked but of Survivor Series Heritage that was seen back in nov., 3 pegs for elites clogged with E12Orton & MVP, 3 pegs of old Rumblers, FF lightning on the shelf with the old basic 4 pack. It's a pretty worthless spot unless you need old stuff.

The Target in my area is a joke anyway. They've only stocked Basics twice in the last year. The only time there is ever more than 10 figures (from all the lines combined) on the shelf is at Christmas.

They are building a new Target by my house. It looks almost done but they havent stocked the inside yet. Im hoping to find some decent stuff day 1 of the store opening but Im not holding my breath. The other Targets in my area suck. They dont get anything in hardly ever.

You should come to Walmart in Canada, where basic 8 has been the newest series since about October of last year.

My Target has nothing but 3 pegs of Elite 12 Orton, and the rest of the pegs are Flex Force and Flex Force 2 packs.
No basics or battle packs at all.

I also found a B18 Rhodes with incredibly damaged packaging at a Target. Plenty Cenas around too. I think there were 6 E14s, 3 SSH and 3 B18s. I've been to about 7 targets in the last two days and haven't seen much. Word on the streets is there is a truck coming tomorrow, I'm going to wake up early and check a few more for Kelly.

Once the summer movie season is done, and they do their big reset for the holiday season (August/September) I am sure the WWE section will get bigger again - I would guess 3 pegs of basics and 3 pegs of Elites. This seems to happen every year but they always come back.

Good luck with that. I was lucky enough to stumble upon a full case of B18 one afternoon before I was even lucky for them. Haven't seen Kelly since. Would it really hurt Mattel to have a few pegwarming Divas and a few less pegwarming Cenas? |

I noticed this yesterday. One of my targets went from 6 pegs of basics and 3 pegs of elites to 1 peg of elites and 2 pegs of basics. One of my walmarts also slimmed down to the same thing.
