Surely this is going to be one of the annoucements at SDCC. The NXT Elite LINE has been a disaster with limited releases and arent even available in the UK where NXT is going to have its own brand in the near future. I really wanted Dash and Wilder and couldnt get them here in the UK, its just terrible decision making on Mattels part. Ive already lost alot of interest with the lack of flashbacks and the figures I do want (NXT guys) I cant even buy! Anyone else hoping Bill makes this announcement at SDCC?

Not really. There’s at least 100 things I would rather Bill announce over that. Hopefully he addresses it for you, but it’s not something I am hoping for.

I don't think it's been a disaster because it's not available in the UK. It's all over the U.S., it's just a question of finding them, but you eventually find them. And there's been a good amount of releases, but it's not their only line and they're not going to release a new series every time there's a new regular Elite series. I think it's fine how it is, just wish Target would get their act together and do better at stocking newer releases quicker.

I mean, us Canadians can't get them at all. That's an announcement I would be okay with.

Nope. The NXT line has been great.

Wish they would increase the waves per year & have target do a better job at stocking them.

They could easily put nxt figures in the main line, but i still would not buy any nxt figures.

Surely? Disaster?
Chill, man. It'd be nice if they upped production and availability but no need to overreact. I won't be surprised if there are some brand-new NXT lines announced at SDCC personally, because there is a need for more. But it doesn't mean that they HAVE to join the main elite line by any means.

Maybe one of your store’s corporate buyers will ask Mattel for an exclusive line and it could become a shared exclusive between Target and that store. But if they haven’t asked for an exclusive by now they probably feel that they wouldn’t sell well enough to warrant one?

No. They just put the same wrestlers in the main line over and over so we’d see a new NXT face maybe once every 3-4 lines.
I’d rather they keep the NXT line how it is, just don’t over pack the boxes or put Reigns in it ever again.

All americans will say "it's all ok, np" because they live in America and they will never understand.

If Pepsi & Doritos can why not Mattel??? because Pepsi and Doritos have vendors come into the stores. I do wish mattel would have better distribution and a series every quarter but I highly doubt they’ll ever do that

I do wish mattel would have better distribution and a series every quarter but I highly doubt they’ll ever do that Funko Pop and Pokemon Cards have vendors too, but I can't see Mattel doing that in my area anytime soon. I've never been a fan of Target Exclusives. Rarely had problems finding any of them except for the NXT Eiltes (unless you count Bayley, we still have 2 here). I'm all for them being mixed back into the regular elite line.
