After we wait so many years for the NXT Tag Team Titles, Mattel finally show us AA with them. And now the Revival. The problem is: Outside US collectors. Why you launch the NXT Tag Team Titles in 2 series that are exclusive to US MattelDesignTeam? This is not fair. At least we deserve a reply. I understand AA with those titles but now The Revival with them in another US exclusive line??? You could put some clothes on Revival and put this titles on the regular elites series with someone else.

Someone said in the SDCC thread that Argos is getting the NXT stuff. Apparently information should be out tomorrow on it. So that could solve your problem if you have an Argos.

Ok, we will see... But between Revival or AA I prefer AA. The figures of Revival are too skinny. Not a fan of their figures for what we saw until now.

They're a US-based company. That's your answer.

I've never had a problem with store exclusives especially how easy they are to require over the Internet. Sure they might cost abit more but it depends on how desperate you are for the figure .

I've ever had a problem with store exclusives especially how easy they are to require over the Internet. Sure they might cost abit more but it depends on how desperate you are for the figure . Usually those prices are insane because of the taxes...

Jordan is too muscular, he shouldn't have the Ryback torso. They at least got the skin tone right, his basics are too dark. Gables facescan is still pretty bad, why they lazily didn't paint the facial hair instead of making a new head blows my mind. Dawson is more chubbier in real life, same as Wilder. I'll be getting all four regardless because they're not that big of a deal to me since they're not overly problematic issues

I agree, I paid $50 for the elite Aries and $30 for NXT Rollins and don't regret it because I've been desperate for both for yearsI and I know my area will never have either.

To piggy back off of this, this is the cheapest they'll ever be so if you're not willing to pay about that much right now you'll be forced to pay more later

Plus the titles are outdated now. You shut your damn mouth! I've waited 2 years to get an entire set of NXT titles! As far as I'm concerned there are no updated titles. And all the NXT titles are VAC and the tag titles don't look out of place because they're also totally VAC and dull plastic like basics.

Because at that prices me and many others simple can't afford. If I and the others can't pay that prices I am not buying those figures. If I and others don't buy that figures they sell less. And is not all based in sells, I like to think Mattel thinks in everyone that like and support they products and lines. Because if this continuous I will buy a lot less and I am not the only one...

The stores pay for exclusivity. If Smyths jumped on, it would be exclusive to them.
Exclusives are more and more popular as brick and mortar stores are dying off. They dont have to price slash the products to stay competitve, and it drives buisness to their stores. They can mark down their exclusives at their own leisure which creates a far more profitable outcome for them than a full on national brand.
Its also better for Mattel in a small degree. Higher profit from exclusive deals and they help keep the buisnesses that sells their product alive by helping them generate revenue and customer shopping.
Its not that mattel hates the rest of the world. Its that they have buisness relationships with a lot of american companies because they are an american company.

I had been hoping to see some other chain get the distribution rights for Canada like Hasbro does, but I don't see that happening.
For example, any K-Mart Star Wars Black Series or Walgreens Marvel Legends exclusives end up at EB Games/GameStop here.

But the deal would have to be better than most to cover shipping internally for Mattel as well. Thats cool that gamestop ends up with them though. In much of the U.S. we have a store called big lots that buys unsold stock from major retailers and sells em for cheap. Ive seen some exclusives there too. Anything like that in your area?

Seems like this may be true. I just went over to the argos website and they had the following listing- WWE NXT TakeOver Elite Figure Assortment And it had a pic of the nxt seth rollins. Annoying thing is tho, you don't know who you will end up with in the series as all wwe figs are listed as "assortments" on the argos website. It's like gambling
