Well I'm seriously considering joining you guys who order these online.... this was a hassle and a lot of driving around to find these things this week.
I feel like I spent all week driving around to about 6 different K Marts (I was also traveling a bit for vacation) and probably visited 5 different Targets..... skipped most Wal Marts, as I haven't seen anyone finding anything new there really...
Also hit up a few flea markets in my travels.... here we go!
First up.... found Edge & Christian at the flea market..... $2 each.... not bad!
Then found another Edge.... the lady wanted $4 but it's in really nice shape so I said sure... also rummaged around and found this recycling bin that appears to be pretty much in-scale with WWE figs.... for $0.50 - I threw it in too.
Then found this Bret Hart for a buck.... not really into these, but it was only a buck...
Didn't see ANY Elite 22's at any of the K Marts I visited... but did find several of these at $3.99 each.... figured I'll make at least one legends ring and have spare parts for other things later....
So we were supposed to go to Dorney Park, I had gotten free tickets from someone at work.... and I still hadn't found Elite 22, and I was a bit worried I'd miss out - since most of you guys had already reported finding them. So I drove my family nuts and stopped at just about every Target between Delaware and Allentown, PA (don't worry - we still got to the park when they first opened). Didn't find jack squat - even though the Target website indicated that they were "In Stock".... I even asked at a few of them and no luck....
So, went into Dorney Park.... saw lots of cool dinosaurs....
On the way home - I told my wife I wanted to check the Target near Dorney (I thought I remembered that Allentown had one) - she wasn't too thrilled, but I was driving, so we stopped.... and found 1 of these - and NO OTHER E22's....
I was THRILLED - until I looked at my 4-year-old, who was crying - he wanted it.... dang it....
So I gave him the stinkin' Rock... that I'd hunted all over three states for.... 'cuz that's what I do.
When we got home, I went back to the Target near my house..... and found these... and 1 EMPTY PACKAGE that used to hold an E22 Rock....
I was furious that someone stole the Rock that I would have found! And I would have paid for it!!!!!
So, this morning, I started making the rounds again... and drove 15 miles to the next Target. Found another Giant, the only Elite on the shelf.... so I scanned it - and the thing said there were more Elites in the stockroom. I found a nice older lady employee and explained my situation, my son crying (I told her it was for my son, who cried the night before), etc.... she scanned it and said they had three more elites in the back - but she had no idea who they were.
While I was waiting for the lady - I looked over The Giant. I decided right there that it was a VERY nice figure and I deserved to buy a second one to open after all this trouble I went to finding these darn things.
When she finally came back out ten minutes later - she said "I have good news, and bad news...." she showed me this....
I thanked her - I told her I didn't care - I'd be opening it anyway and the product seemed fine.
So, I finally got my E22 Rock... but what a hassle!
Think I might start ordering these things online.... you guys might have the right idea.
Thanks for looking!

Those TTTT rings are awesome for that price! I'd love to get 1 for that price!
some guy made a thread about what a sweet deal he got, 20 bucks for 2 divas or something, which is okay, but THIS has to take the cake for the best deal I have ever seen! This should be on some record books for best deal. Great pickups man!!
