Me too , blayze and richter are on top of my list, and it will be cool do have parts for heartbreak hotel. And i hope that the series with jj dill8n will be soon release. I need good news from mattel, its been a while Along with Chyna, Alundra Blayze was my most-wanted female Flashback, so I'm thrilled she's coming out. I really wanted that women's 3-pack too (mainly for Richter), so hopefully the figures will get a different release... they could easily put Richter (maybe Lita too) in the Walmart Flashback line.

I would love to have the setup but the only figure I’m interested in the set is the Shawn Michaels.

When Nivro is a "good human being" and that first post was "easy to read and understand", I just don't know what's going on in this world anymore.

Hopefully somewhat soon for the Heartbreak Hotel set. Definitely buying that entire set, and I rarely do that.

The Walmart figures should still be coming. Nothing to the contrary has been said, so there's no real cause for concern. The release schedules are all over the place these days or so it seems. I don't mind a few months difference, but I hope some of these lines aren't delayed so much that collectors lose interest in them by the time they arrive at stores. It wouldn't be so bad if these were easily accessible online, especially Walmart's exclusives. IMO, they need to be closer to the vest in terms of reveals for this reason. Seeing figures a year in advance is too long, by the time they are out people lose interest.

Brilliant figures but I've seen photos of them for about a year so excitement was low.

We're used to the Amazon format now for the main Elite line but Target's website only offers occasional spurts of stock for these figure and Walmart's site is a total lost cause most of the time. TRU was actually pretty good compared to the other two and now it's gone for most of us. It's a catch 22. If Bill doesn't show us anything, we complain. If he shows it to us too far out, we complain because we're waiting impatiently for the release. If he shows us something that ends up not making it to retail, we complain. It's just a no win situation for him. On top of that, he's battling not knowing when Target and Walmart are actually going to put this stuff on shelves. Look at that Paul Bearer BAF fiasco.

All of this wouldn't matter as much if we had plenty of flashbacks in the main elite line like we did 2016-2017. Once they abruptly pulled most of them then we had to deal with all of this stuff. Especially if you are flashback only like many are.

Flashbacks in the main line would be fine if it was kept to one per wave. those are the figures that do not sell around here. my wal mart finally got rid of psycho sid and harlem heat last week by putting them on clearance.

Especially if you are flashback only like many are. I agree, things were a lot better for flashback collectors before all these damn store exclusive lines came along. I don't understand why these retailers are paying extra money for the exclusive when they do not stock their shelves, at least not on a consistent basis?! You should be able to walk into any Walmart or Target at any given time IMO and find these exclusives on the shelves yet most of the time what you find is empty shelves that are re-stocked once in a blue moon. Also, these exclusive lines keep failing (Legends, HOF, TNF, Network Spotlight), yet they keep launching new ones?! You would think they would get a hint that these exclusives are not working (this goes for both the retailers and Mattel), guess not?!
