I'm not against Walmart getting these but I will be against it if it means the death of the Flashback elite line. Much like when Hall of Champions came out and replaced Hall of Fame, I'll be bummed about it. I purchased almost every single one of the Hall of Fame figures (Except I think Edge and King Booker) and I have only purchased 1 Hall of Champions (Ron Simmons) and have no plans to get anyone from Series 3. I bought the entire series 1 Elite Flashbacks and 2 from Series 2 and out of two series of Fan Central, I've only gotten one(Triple H) and don't plan to get any of Series 2. I don’t think it’ll be the death of FB. Target has nxt and hoc. I guess Walmart will have 2 exclusive sets too?

I don’t see the elite series living on after they get rid of the unreleased stock. There hasn’t been another poll for the elites. Maybe FB remains their elite exclusive and FC are their basic and BP exclusive. Basic FB appears to be dead so maybe this is why.

Great news. I’m glad it’s Walmart rather than Target.

Glad they are going to release, not excited they are at Walmart. Nearest Walmart to me never restocks are getting first batch so shelf's can sit empty or with peg warmers for weeks even months until

I wonder if these will be at Toys R Us here in Canada, or just disappear entirely since Walmart exclusives don't show up in my experience.

Wonder what accessory they'll have for Mojo... Can they manufacture talent? I kid. Probably will be the Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy. You should see some of his self produced promos on Twitter. Dude can talk when he isn't being scripted.

At the time of the poll Elias was nothing but a jobber in NXT. NXT fans were booing him and they’re marks for just about anyone. It wasn’t until he was brought up to the main roster where he was given a push and really settled in to the character.

Paul Bearer Build-a-Figure (one-and-done shipments, lots of places never even stocked these, and thefts that pushed these to the clearance aisle) Then, Now, Forever (first series sold well, second series sat, and tons of places never saw the third series) The first two Retro sets (the fact that more people found series 2 at Ollies and TJ Maxx than at Walmart should tell you something) Flashback (like TNF, first sets sold well...but lots of places still have yet to see series 2 while the first wave is on clearance)
Should we really be excited about Walmart getting another exclusive series? Especially a series that contains Mojo, Tozawa, and a Bryan that isn't THAT different than the ones that used to pegwarm.

Yes, because the only Bryan I have is E38.

I think I’ll take a Walmart Exclusive over a Target Exclusive these days. I get so tired of Target employees only putting half a set on the shelf and needing to ask them to pull the figures from the back. Or calling Target only for them to tell me they only have two figures in the set, but then I get there and all are on the shelf.
I found Flashback Series 1 and 2 very easily from Walmart. I also think that with this being an all new SKU that should make it even easier.

This wouldn’t be annoying if I didn’t have to go to two targets for HOC Series 2 because one claimed they only had Gargano & Simmons with the other claiming they only had Ciampa & Kane. Only when I got to the secon Target, sure enough the whole set was on the shelf. I found Flashback Series 1 and 2 very easily from Walmart. I also think that with this being an all new SKU that should make it even easier.

Is this the only Elite Carmella coming out? (...is there also going to be a Walgreens one, or did I imagine that?)

I hope that Flashbacks continue but with them constantly making questionable characters, I really dont expect it. I like Bob Orton but he didnt need another figure. DiBiase is great, but that green suit should have been in a 2 pack when everyone has been begging for a black suit and god forbid we're never going to get rid of that awful Razor Ramon figure.
