Oh you thought this thread was dead??

Found Elite Greatest Hits 2 at the Post Rd Walmart. Took a Harley and left one for a COLLECTOR and hopefully it’s not picked up by a scalper like everything else in the area.

Appreciate the heads up. I went there this morning about 10AM....no Harley, but they must have put up the summerslam endcap overnight because it was fresh and loaded with tons of elites. i was able to get everything i needed/wanted

Wonder who the scumbag is that goes around to every walmart and figure swaps, just once I wanna walk in while they are returning them

I’ve gone to multiple Walmarts a day for a week trying to find Torrie Wilson. To my excitement I finally see the side of her package and it had a Basic Carmella inside. Reported that and an edge that was returned and reported another edge swap at another Walmart. A third store had a Goldberg swapped with SCSA. Insane.

that’s the ultimate heartbreak thinking you found the figure you’ve been searching for only to find out someone swapped it out

Oh you have no idea. That was my 7th Walmart that day. I thought I finally got it. I could’ve cried I was just so frustrated.

this wave has been extremely frustrating plus the fact that 2 sets came out at the same exact time causing stores to skip sets, fortunately I was able to find a bischoff in the early morning last week and a friend who works overnight at a different Walmart was able to get a torrie Wilson for me which was my biggest want from this line

I found wwe legends D’Lo and undertaker at the Warwick Mall target! I was able to pick up the chase and regular D’Lo and there on an end cap which there’s still a few takers and D’Lo left plus they have the Adam cole exclusive!

[skalsk28]

I just grabbed a complete set of the new legends greatest hits series at the target at the mall! The guy brought out a brand new display case and there’s still 3 of everyone as of this post

Walmart in New England Center had Johnny Gargano and Braun Today. I was able to get Steiner. The rest most have been sold out. Have not seen any Supreme Punks or Newer aew figures. They also had The marvel movie legends if anyone is looking.

[Picks]

Hi, Just curious cause there are never any sightings does anyone here ever find anything. I have never found any of the ruthless aggressions, Monday night wars, ect. I have been trying to find the new aew figures. Today Walmart in Coventry actually had the newer AEW unmatched 8 series, they had Malakai and Penta on the pegs. Just curious if no one reports or stores are not getting any figures in. Thank you

[Picks]

Warwick BH Walmart had 2 sets of the new Superstars. They had remnants of Unmatched 8 Penta and Black

Maybe but there is certainly some/many buying all the wrestling figures the past few years.

I'm pretty new to RI and collecting WWE in general (moved here during COVID and picked up the hobby) but I've ran into a group of guys (about four or five) at the Warwick Mall Target that morning the Target exclusive Ultimate Rock came out. I was parking when I saw them all head in as soon as the doors opened. I can only guess they ran immediately back to the toy section and cleaned out the current Legends because by the time I got there they were surrounding an employee complaining that the Ted DiBiase chase wasn't there. I didn't even bother trying to go down the aisle since it was obvious they had everything in hand, so I just decided to order them from the parking lot. Lucked out and got the Ted DiBiase chase even though I only was trying to find the regular one. I now joke when I can't find anything that the "RI WWE Figure Cabal" strikes again.

On that note has anyone seen the MNW Mankind anywhere? I got Piper and Hart from Newport but I haven't seen a single MNW figure since then. I've had better luck with the Superstars but I'm still looking around for the Ali and Bulldog figs if anyone has seen those.

good luck unfortunately this area has been crap lately and alot of figure swap returns id suggest if your looking for legends line to order them online target does tend to ship them later than they should but atleast you will get them without the hassle of people running to the toy section when it opens
