The Valencia, CA store was dry as a bone this afternoon. Only a couple of Elite Deans and even the zombies were pretty much gone.

Checked back today and only one owens and one balor left where there were 4 complete sets only 2 days ago. Knew these wouldnt stick around long. They did have a full set of series 3 zombies today that weren't there before. Grabbed the Charlotte for my daughter.

Checked two of the four Five Belows near me and both only had series 3. No Muscle or zombies series 3 either. Checking the other two tomorrow with figures firmly crossed.

Found a Macho Man at one store and Ric Flair at another. Be sure to search the entire store when you go. Both stores i went to had two different areas where retros were on shelves. I didn't find any Muscle figs though.

Found at both the meriden and north haven five below stores. After 2 days though both locations already all sold out. Both still have the muscle figures though and they had a couple series 3 zombies left but that was it

I found a bunch of Retros at Ollies here locally, though they bought out a ton of Toys R Us inventory wholesale so it makes sense. It was only series 1 too

Retros and MUSCLEs have also officially shown up at the Five Below near me, and the Zombies are finally dwindling (but a couple Zombie Finn Balors have been put up now too for some reason ).

Have the BAF Mean Gene figs been spotted by anyone? my local 5 below got 1 case so far. Gene is slightly different than his FB figure. His head is slightly smaller, the strands of hair on his bald spot aren't there, the wwf logo is a darker shade of red and his pants are much darker.

Well, checked the other two near me today, and no dice. Both had series 3. No Muscle either. I did find zombie Charlotte though, so that was at least something.

Series 1? within the last month. Our town just had an Ollie's open. The toys section is basically entirely new/old stock from Toys R Us, many still with Toys R Us stickers still on them. I got my nephew a $40 Mickey Mouse garage, with the Toys R Us sticker still on it for $40, for $20. I don't know if all locations are like this or if mine is unique because it's new and these were what were for sale at the time, but the shopping carts are all Toys R Us shopping carts as well, and most haven't been repainted or the TRU logo removed. Which is surreal

Decided to check my Five Below and they had all of series 3 (minus Ambrose) and a Charlotte from the superstars series, plus the Zombies.
I made my first figure purchase in the last 12 years, as I picked up the 3 retros. My wife gave me her blessing to start collecting again, and I'm just sticking with retros.
Not gonna lie, it feels pretty damn good.

Went to a FB last night on my way home and was informed some bunghole came in an hour earlier and bought all 40 Retros on the pegs. Unreal. The employee said he wanted to grab a Flair but the guy bought every last figure they had. At least he left one muscle pack for me

Not gonna lie, it feels pretty damn good. That's how I started last year. I've mainly stuck to that (with Retros) bought one WWE Elite, and a few other non-wrestling figures. Did listening to podcasts convince you to get back into it?

Surprised to hear that series has made it to discount stores - did they ever make it to Target nationwide rather than just a few random stores? Not around here, my Targets are still clogged with S3. The one across the street actually just put out a fresh case a month ago. Not a one has sold in months. Sad and pathetic. Why don't these stores get a clue and clearance this stuff and get new product? Or do they just not care? I guess toys are a very very small percentage of Target's business compared to all the consumables and electronics.
