I personally don't love store exclusive lines but there's a major flaw in your hypothesis -- if there were no NXT line, you'd have like 90 percent less NXT figures because only a handful would be placed in other lines. The main solution was actually to KEEP the NXT lines, but bring bigger names like Black, McIntyre, and Cole in the main elite line, and have guys like Ohno, Dain, Dream, and Strong in the NXT line

I'd be down with having 6 figures per series instead of 4. Being Target exclusive doesn't bother me so much since I've been able to get everything I want from Target. Wal-Mart exclusives though are a different story.

I don't dislike them. I don't collect them either. I just hope they aren't holding up other elite waves while they peg though. All of them have massively warmed my Target stores.

There's only so many normal Elite line spots as it is and I can't see Black, McIntyre, Cole, etc., selling well as main elites just yet (way more production than a single-store NXT line) even though I personally want them all.

Has it been confirmed that NXT talent isn't allowed to be in the wave? I just thought maybe they moved Black to fill a hole in the next NXT wave.

There's any number of reasons the figure could have been moved, but I think there's a good chance it had to be moved for budget reasons.

I know he is popular but for the life of me I don't know why.

I asked bill at RSF if NXT figures are going to stay in the NXT line and he said yes. My guess is that mattel is guessing that by the time that series is out (late this year) the Authors will be on the main roster. There's really no reason other than that that they'd be the ONLY NXT figures in the Elite line in like 10 lines.

You don’t dislike the NXT line you dislike the poor distribution and that’s completely understandable.

I like the NXT line as is. I love getting the flashbacks of main roster guys in their NXT attire and the packaging is top notch. My only complaint is limiting the elites to 4 each. I'm not a fan of basics in general and would rather them cut a basic or two out of the line in favor of another elite.

I had to get people in a fb group to mass-hunt for ember and have her shipped to me. even though both of my closest targets are 100% sold out of NXT elites and have been for some time. They just aren't coming in. So my biggest issue is that they are target exclusives. (had the same issue with Walgreens bcky. so annoying)
I don't mind the NXT Flashbacks. Lets me fill out my NXT collection nicely. But I agree there should be more current guys on offer, and so few waves a year can be attributed to the exclusivity of the line. The best solution really would be to have these guys (and girls) in the main line as well.

I can get Target Exclusive easier than Walmart and I don't really care either way. I've bought Nakamura and that's it so far. Nothing else in the line had done it for me.
When we get Black, Dunne, elite DIY, some others I'll be excited.

Walgreens Becky just starting showing as well. Be patient
