Getting all three when I can. There should be an elite for everybody on the roster.

Can't wait to not find these because Target doesn't know how to order all.

My heart breaks for the 9 of you that bought the basic Itami. I went out of my way to buy the nxt basic Itami because I knew the elite was gonna be canceled thus making it the only time we’d see that head scan... plus it was only 5 bucks.

The fact that Mattel took five years ing around without releasing an Itami is pretty ridiculous, imagine if they did it with Ambrose, who was there seven years. Granted Ambrose was one of the top three guys in the company and Itami was basically a flop but that's just how ridiculous it is to me that there still isn't and never will be an elite.

What a boring set - luckily, I don't want any of them. That Andrade is a joke. If it wasn't for those two logos, it would be an all-white attire.

Really boring set. I imagine Andrade is the only one that will sell decently but that's depending on if he has any other updated Elites announced before this one hits shelves. I imagine we will see another one before then (SDCC?) and in that case I don't see this NXT figure being too much of a hot seller unfortunately.
It was pretty much impossible to live up to NXT 4 though. Maybe if they actually were able to get these out in time and not a year later than anticipated then it would be more exciting but as it stands it is what it is.

I disagree, I don’t think this is a boring set. This will fill in some holes in many collections.

Prediction....
Every Target nation wide will get one case.
Strong 2 per box, Andrade 2 per box, Titus 4 per box.
Strong will be scalped at $60-$70, Andrade $40-$50
Titus will warm.
We will all complain about how weak Target is at stocking.
Rusev will STILL warm.
Mattel will laugh and collect our money.

Good to know this Andrade's still an option to help make a custom WM3 Steamboat.

Granted Ambrose was one of the top three guys in the company and Itami was basically a flop but that's just how ridiculous it is to me that there still isn't and never will be an elite. People aren’t clamoring for bottom of the barrel performers, $20 Elite figures. I honestly couldn’t believe the we’re putting out Itami in the first place Ellisworth, Aiden English, Jack Gallagher, Apollo, etc don’t sell at $20 a pop Hawkins and Ryder do, but they seem to be the exception, plus they are actually on TV and champions and past champions AND a huge presence in the wrestling figure community, so that probably helps too If NXT 4 and 5 hit with any regularity around the country, Daine, Titus, Strong and probably Almas and Ruby would all shelfwarm. Maybe not as bad as shower time Rusev and Reigns, but they wouldn’t be flying off the shelves Mattel has to be smarter about releases. Nakamura Ult Edition will fail. I can’t believe they are going with that. Just like it was painfully obvious that DM UM Warrior, Thug Cena were duds out of the gate

I think because it was his first figure. I’m not sure why it was an Elite but I enjoyed it. Sorry but Hideo did nothing note worthy enough to be an Elite. He had two Basics for his five year run in which he was off tv a lot, went to 205 and did....I can’t remember. Titus is a cool guy but an Elite? This gonna clog shelves with Rusev and the entire two cases of NXT Elite 1 that are at my local Target.

Gallagher, Aiden, Ellsworth all sold fast but most of the main event figures from those sets warm. KO,AJ, Cena, Roman, Rollins, Angle are the ones that don’t sell and are piling up on the shelves. Many times we are getting another one before all the last ones sold. Most of the collectors want different wrestlers and are tired of the same ones getting released all the time.

I'm maybe kinda glad everyone thinks Titus will shelfwarm; perhaps I'll actually find one with little trouble. Getting the ones I wanted in NXT series 4 and the last Hall of Champions was a nightmare.

U would think with such a huge company there would be a office of just figure junkies that would be able to tell you whats hot or what will fly off the shelf, not a bunch of yes men that when someone from mattel says for elite 70,72, 74 etc how bout some more romans and Braun's, and the responses are probably yes we need more instead of saying the truth. Such a big company but so out of touch with there consumers. U dont even gotta be smart to know shinksuke will be the equivalent to rusev nxt, i mean who even thought that was a good idea. Maybe if they had pushed nak to his full potential and let him be a main event guy u can kinda try and argue for him to have that figure. So much potential for figures but like always leave it to mattel to be the equal to wwe raw.
