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 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. I never knew that funko and Pokémon cards did that |

We get the NXT Elites in Argos. In fact, they just got reduced to £9.99, with Series 3 starting to show up
The problem is it’s Argos that carries them, and their ridiculous system. Once upon a time we could have campaigned to Smyths about stocking them and possibly been successful but we probably kissed that goodbye when we didn’t support the Hall of Fame, Zombies, Retros and other additional lines

Yea because Mattel should be the ones to supervise a retail chain, tell them what to do, how to stock and how to train their employees. True! If Pepsi & Doritos can why not Mattel??? ugh. Prices would go up, you would complain and nothing would change. |

I love NXT, and it's the thing that got me to start watching wrestling after 15+ years away. But there are somewhere around 2 million Network subscribers. Total. If every single Network subscriber watched NXT, which they don't, it would still be far lower than the ratings for the lowest rated Raws.
I love the brand and will buy just about any NXT figure that's released. But it's naive to think that Mattel can or should produce NXT figures at the same rate or quantities as main roster figures. There just aren't enough eyeballs on the product week to week to get those kind of sales.

"fine how they are"
You do realize Bill told us they were not fine how they are by telling us he wasn't even sure if they were still coming out, right? It's perfectly fine to not be interested in NXT. It's perfectly fine to not be interested in flashbacks. But i think it's safe to assume that most of us want more variety and more first time in the line characters. And when NXT is a steady supply of first time in the line characters, that only makes sense.

I like NXT being a separate line - we simply get more product that way - but it'd definitely be nice if it was more widely available, especially overseas.

I don’t think Bill said the NXT Elites were in trouble just the Basics and I think that was because he no longer works on the basic lines. I could be wrong, but that was how I took it. Plus Bill never knows about the distribution. And the NXT elites aren’t always first time in line wrestlers. The last wave were half repainted (NXT versions of Rusev & Reigns) and two new figures in Roode and Moon. |

They don't sell well, not enough people watch NXT. Kevin Owens, Asuka and Joe all rotted here although they were kings of NXT. It was only until they debuted on the main roster is when everyone wanted them

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who watch NXT.

The line needs to die and it makes no sense either. Why do NXT get it's own line and yet Raw and Smackdown don't?
I wish Mattel would put them in the main line so everyone could buy them.

It was only until they debuted on the main roster is when everyone wanted them My Smyths was filled with Asuka's until they got dropped to £9.99 and they still hung around for a while. Owens and Joe werent exactly flying off the shelves either so Im not convinced that just because they got moved up to the main roser that they suddenly sold. And this was when they did get moved to Raw/Smackdown btw. |

I'd rather just see them put out more NXT Elites in a calendar year. And a Flashback Corey Graves would be fantastic.
