Pete Dunne will be the new tito. Isn’t that the latest Samoa Joe or Jack Gallagher? They seem to be lingering at the Targets and WalMarts around here that had that wave.

NXT series as a whole doesn’t move well by me. Sammy basics sell, NXT basic Sammy sits. Any NXT talent with no raw SmackDown recognition don’t move by me

Pete Dunne will be the new tito. Tito is primarily Target's fault. They should learn and never do something like that again. If Tito was a regular Elite, I wonder if he would have moved better than Charlotte?

I think if they used the NXT line for new faces only it would do a lot better instead of inserting people like Rusev and Roman elites and the same Sami,KO and Joes basics that we got before. Around my area all the first time in line figures sold great like Roode,Almas,Ember etc. This line would be great to get all the fresh faces in if they would just use it for that. We could have the Flashback lines for those collectors,NXT line for the new faces and Main line for the Raw and SD people.

If Tito was a regular Elite, I wonder if he would have moved better than Charlotte? I refuse to believe this. Because all those yokozuna, Hogan, and Eddie figures are gone...except the straggler here or there. But tito...I can find 20 or more today. 3 years after release. Target didn't order cases of just tito. It's time people accept tito just wasn't wanted by 95% of people that buy figures. It's just what it is. And if he was regular line...wouldn't be much better if at all. Sure, 1 per case instead of 2. So half what your target has. But put 3 in every Wal-Mart, every TRU, every Kmart...put 1 in every gamestop and Walgreens. Load them up at big lots. That woulda been hell.

I don't think Joe or Jack will be around in tito numbers 3 years later Tito has been gone for about a year now around here. The sad thing is Tito was by far the best figure in that assortment and he just wasn’t moving. Although personally I think a matching Martel or better yet a title instead of the shirt would have helped his sales. Another figure that sat was the JYD and he was without a doubt the best figure in his wave. That figure was damn near perfect. Yet it sat. I think Joe will sit, because I still see the game stop figure as well as the green/black and red/black attired figures on the pegs.

But I kid you not, 20 tito Santana within 20 minutes of my house.

*cue flashback collectors incoming saying it hurts their chances of getting more obscure flashbacks who sit on the shelves for a good while* To answer your question, yes we are falling behind True words. " i DEMAND *insert legend* it's not fair that there are little to no flashbacks in these sets!" " *inserted legend* is still rotting on the shelves at my local store, it's so annoying! wish they'd just go away" The only elite I can find on any shelves right now is Big Cass and there’s always at least 6 of him

the sad thing is I'm not sure how they rectify the issue. They tried scanning people beforehand, but then the NXT line became a thing. So I guess that sorta went away. Yea and adding a "flashback" type of NXT elite to the line does take a up a current spot for someone. Plus they added chairs to the current basic NXT line , which may not help sell those basics. unlike the announce table and bayley buddies. just my 2 cents.

NXT is always going to be behind. The WWE Network has 1.5 million subscribers worldwide. Subscribers, not viewers. Raw has almost twice that many viewers in the US alone. I love NXT and it's the most compelling wrestling I've watched in 20 years. But it's ridiculous to suggest that Mattel should replace Cena and Reigns that are hugely popular with their target demographics with figures that the majority of their audience has never heard of.
We're getting far more NXT figures than we ever have before. I wish people could be happy with that, rather than continually wanting more and more.

Had he been distributed better, like they did with George "The Animal" Steele, this probably wouldn't have happened. Also, Target would not clearance him properly. You can't tell me Tito would sell worse than George "The Animal" Steele in HOF 5, especially with George being a re-release. They did a better job with George's distribution, and a very poor job with Tito's.

If anyone has a chance of becoming "the next Tito", its Big Cass, that figure is everywhere

*cue flashback collectors incoming saying it hurts their chances of getting more obscure flashbacks who sit on the shelves for a good while* To answer your question, yes we are falling behind Flashbacks have their own line(s) and are rarely put into the main elite line so its really irrelevant. You're not getting lesser used/known stars because we need more Cena/Reigns/Rollins/Ambrose figures.

Braun is next up as getting frequent figures with little different about them. At least there’s others like AJ, KO, and Rollins who we’re getting a lot of but they’re mostly unique. hasn't braun only had like...6 figures released?

They did a better job with George's distribution, and a very poor job with Tito's. I saw many cases get opened and they had 2 of each guy. That's not overpacked in my opinion. It's just a crap guy people didn't want. And yeah, they did well to pack George less, but now I can't go anywhere without seeing several tito and now piper. 2 per case isn't too much if you make crap people wanna buy. And target wouldn't clearance it because it would clearance the whole series. Just avoid it all and don't make tito.

Elites tho, E62 would be #4, and 3 within 11 sets.
