Since late December I've been eager for store resets. Today I came across Target's & WalMart's reset each in two different towns (almost an hour away from each other) and they had the same products.
WalMart: Fresh boxes of Basic 24 (no AJ), leftover Elite 18, several pegs of Power Slammers, and no Flex Force or Rumblers.
Target: 2 of Basic 25 Miz, 6 Flex Force two-packs (Sheamus & Kofi), no Elites, Rumblers, or Power Slammers. Employees at both Targets told me they would no longer carry Elites. AT ALL! Really stressed that.
Have any of you come across any resets yet?
What are you expecting and/or hoping for?

guess its no big deal target isn't carrying elites anymore since in my area they never had any in stock anyways! Elites I feel like are becoming such a high end premium toy that stores dont want to restock or sell them.

I was at my local Target today and they still had the Elite labels up and such, so who knows if it's a company-wide decision.

Total lie, as soon as they put out a case there everything flies of the shelves (even the recent Orton & Mysterio). The other store said they were discontinued... |

I my stores have carries then not carried Elites over the years. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless if months go by and No Elites have been stocked.
I would imagine that Wal Mart would still be getting display cubes, and those usually will have the latest Elite assortment on them.
I haven't bothered to check my store in a while but I don't expect anything good in until spring/summer.

Elites I feel like are becoming such a high end premium toy that stores dont want to restock or sell them. If Target stops then TRU would be my only local store with Elites. Every WM is 24 hour and only shelf warmers are there the next morning. I think you're absolutely right about Elites becoming premiums. I'm finding fewer and fewer places that even semi-regularly stock shelves. |

Fingers crossed for E19. I'm also getting the feeling it might be dry until March. |

They are not dropping Elites. I've been to 5 Targets that have done resets and all had put up pegs for Elites. They will stock more once their Dist centers stock up again.

My target had a case or 2 of basic 25 2 weeks ago that sold out within 3 days, nothing at all on pegs now, my Walmart has kept cena/Kane & Bryan/show bp 19 on shelves for a good month, had 2 cases of basic 24 that sold out within 2 days (other than 2 cenas) haven't seen an elite since before Christmas
