Anybody else not finding these at all?

[BCizzle]

I’ve read about people finding Series 5 at Walmart and Series 6 at Target and Unmatched Series 1 at Target, but all I can find is empty pegs or Riho at Target and nothing at Walmart. I’ve seen one Series 4 Matt Hardy at Target, and all of Wave 3 except Orange (was lucky to find Darby once), but that’s it.

I’ve bought some from Ringside but I thought eventually I’d be able to get these at retail. It’s driving me a little crazy.

[viper412]

only time I’ve “found” them was once midday at Target (Unmatched 1 except Kenny and Darby) and once at opening (full Series 4)

I’ve found series 2 and 4 in full twice at Walmart using brickseek and series 6 at Target asking an employee to scan the tag for me

Someone is just beating you to them and buying them all or you just not going often enough or trying hard enough

if you use brickseek, ask an employee to scan it for you to see when it will come in, or just go at opening, you’re bound to come up with something

They’re still not that available yet, stores usually get one, maybe hard maybe, two at a time so if someone sees and buys the full set, it doesn’t leave any for others

I’m in metro Detroit and every Walmart and target I have been to is empty. I have seen a couple rihos and a Jake Hager and 1 shida. I’m must have bad timing. I wish I could find something. It’s very disheartening to not be able to find very much at all

My brother works at Walmart and they got a case of series 5 in a couple days ago.

That has been their first AEW figures since series 2

[Deep Figure Value]

Wal-Marts in my area got flooded with cases of 4 and 5 for about a week earlier this month, which was the most life I'd seen in the set since the shipper of series 1 first went out, but it's slowed to a crawl with only pickings here and there. For a minute, a couple of Targets had a healthy number of series 6, but I never saw either Jericho.

Over the life of the set, I've bought 17 of the figures, and 9 of them were at retail, so I guess my luck has been perfectly okay.

[rkmo: Everyone Else but Me]

I was finding Series 4 reliably a month or so ago in both local Walmarts. Got two Riho's left at one as of last night but pegs for both AEW lines are up.

[Nivro™]

Ive been finding more here lately but still spotty. The annoying part is finding 1/2 tag teams like the case is uneven. I have one of the Jacksons and Kaz but cant find the other nor Scorpio Sky

It appears Santana & Ortiz has joined Riho in peg warming as well

[WCWThunderRosa]

I’ve seen every Unrivaled figure except Brandi and Hager plus a chase MJF. For Unmatched I’ve only seen Britt Baker and Cody

[X-27]

The only wave I haven't seen in stores is series 2. I got Miro and series 5 Moxski in the last week.

This made me laugh, I guess I just gotta try harder! Do I have to go to stores on Tuesday morning when they open and run past all the Pokemon scalpers to get these? Because that is not going to happen.

Brickseek says every Target around me has nothing and that every Walmart has nothing except for one store selling them for $5 on clearance (I have been there, they are not.)

I thought brickseek didn’t work for target. trying harder would be asking them to scan the tag ask when they come in. When Walmart jumps you go at opening next morning and they should be there. Worked for me almost every time

Honestly yes you do. That’s what it’s like in my area

I'm Canadian... I'm never finding these in stores, but can I interest you in 57 Mae Youngs and Shield Kurt Angles??

I've seen 3 Riho's, which is 3 more AEW figures than I ever expected to see at retail. (Not all at the same time. I bought the first to keep on card as the first one I ever actually saw at retail).

[finnbalor1]

I've seen a lot more lately then I did towards the beginning of the line

[PJ]

It’s hit or miss with me. Targets I have seen a fresh case of Series 4 and 6 one time each at two of three stores I regularly go to. I haven’t seen an AEW figure at Walmart since the shipping cube for the initial series 1 launch.

Here's a history of my area (Vancouver, WA) over the past year:

It started out last September, when I was met with empty pegs everywhere, except finding a lone Jericho at a WM in Newport, OR while on vacation. Haven't seen any of S1 since.
I lucked out with S2, as I was at a local WM right at opening, and they were being put out on the pegs. Got all 6 in one shot. Haven't seen more since.
Every Target in the area got at least one case of S3, and I was able to get one of each except for Orange. There were plenty of Rihos on the pegs for weeks/months.
I haven't seen S4 or S5 anywhere. I'd guess that all the Rihos prevented Targets from getting new cases.
After the Rihos disappeared, Targets started getting S6. I got one of each from a couple different Targets, but now there are still several Shidas on the pegs around here.

I'm so glad this thread was made. Chasing after these figures has become quite a task if you want to save the couple bucks by purchasing them retail. It's actually how I stumbled across this forum in the first place a few months ago, so it's good to know that I'm not the only one struggling to find them in stores. I live within 5 minutes of two walmarts and one target, and believe me, I am in there multiple times a week. So far, I've only struck gold one time by finding a fresh case of series 4 on the shelves. I have to admit though, I am not exactly the most patient person, so I have purchased all of the remaining sets (up to series 6) through ringside and Ebay.
Side note: Today I received my set of unmatched series 1 from ringside, and they sent me my first AEW chase figure. Being from the Pittsburgh area, I was hoping for the Britt Baker, but I'm definitely satisfied getting the Darby Allin I received instead.

My area (Southeast) is spotty but it sounds like I’ve seen more than most in this thread. There was a pretty long gap between the original shipper and the next time I saw them, but since then I’ve seen most everything at Walmart or Target at some point, but they don’t last long. Riho is doing her best Tito Santana impression.

[LK3]

I haven’t tried much at retail since I’ve got all of mine from Ringside.

Didn’t see series 1 other than an empty shipper. Found a full set of series 2 once at Target. Only once saw Riho & PAC leftover at a Target for series 3. Series 4 saw a Santana & Ortiz at Target, and a Matt Hardy & Sammy Guevara at Walmart. Have yet to see any of series 5 or 6, or Unmatched.

[usedtopostin2000]

Only ever found S1 on the shipper last August. Which was picked through already. Then randomly found a S4 Cody at Target laying in the laundry detergent aisle.
