In a random out of town trip in Elmira NY, we stopped at wal mart in hopes to find the new elites even though I had not seen any reports of the set on the east coast yet. to my surprise I found what i believe to be a case fresh set on the shelf (not peg). However all they had was 3 brocks, 3 batistas, and 3 rybacks. Is this a actual case or did I miss out on luger and the road warriors?

I would guess that they just had multiple cases and you ran into the leftovers. Although Amazon did seem to have an oddly disproportionate amount of Hawk and Animal...

I haven't found an untouched display yet, so I'm not sure what the official display item count is. A regular case count is 8 items, so I'd think 12-16 figures would fill the display.

Was this a shipper/cube or just on retail pegs?
There's 8 to a case and Ryback is supposed to be 1 per case so perhaps there were 3 cases?

If I was at Target, I would've asked if they had more in the back...but it's pointless to ask my Walmart people.

All they had was 3 brocks, 3 batistas, and 3 rybacks. BOTH of my Walmarts had the same and the pegs appeared newly stocked. Very Strange.

My wife found an untouched shipper with 2 Lugers but no Animal. Thought that was odd. Sometimes the shippers aren't the same as the case counts. I remember I came across a couple shippers at Kmart with B36 last year and they had no Big E but tons of Fandango.

Just found an untouched shipper. 16 Elites on it. 1 Luger, 2 Hawk, 3 Animal. Didn't really count the rest but it appeared to be heavy on Brock.

no shipper, just on the shelf below the pegs in the aisle. I stand corrected on the count, it was 3 brocks, 3 batistas, and 2 rybacks which would be a case of 8. I wasnt sure if they were packed 12 figs per case or not. but I guess there are cases without luger and the warriors then.

You, the OP, came across what I call the F U figures. the figures that you find in store. The figures that stare back at you and tell you to your face, FU, we had the figures you wanted but we're all that's left. The figures no one wants.
Think CM Punk from E 29.

Well, there better be a case with 2 Lugers, 3 Animals, and 3 Hawks.

There defently seems to be more Animals than Hawks. This would make sense as the first Elite 30 I saw were in a WalMart shipper that had some missing. There were no Lugers or Hawks, but 2 Animals. I thought it was odd that 2 people bought Hawk but left Animal. However I did find what looked like it could have been an untouched case at a Kroger. it had 1 Luger, 1 Hawk, 1 Animal, 2 Batistas....not sure how many Brock's or Ryback as I wasn't looking for them. But if what someone said earlier was true, i would bet it was 2 Brocks and 1 Ryback. I'm not 100% sure on the Batista count, I know I saw 2 cause I was showing my wife how they had packaged him backwards to show off the tattoo detail. Both of them were the backwards variant.

I just saw the display at Walmart and it had 9 figures left. One Lex, which I bought, one Animal and then a mix of Brock, Batista and Ryback.

I've missed the shipper at both my Walmarts. I've been finding Brock, Batista and Ryback all day. It's disheartening.... I did buy a Batista variant that kind of made it better.

My Walmart got a shipper in with like 20 figures from E30. It had about 5 Brocks, 5 Batistas, 2 sets of LOD, 3 Lugers, and 3 missing figures when I saw it. I was pissed I missed on Ryback because that's the only one I want still! Explain to me what shipper and etc. mean It's a retail term for any sort of box that items are shipped in and then used to display. Shippers can be big boxes that display in the middle of an aisle (lot of people on here call it a "cube" or they can just be a box that displays on an end cap (as is the case with these shippers). It's just a cardboard box with WWE logos and designs on the side that the figures are display in on a shelf.
