I did not see Andrade coming, but I'm happy he's going to be easier to obtain. Still, not released until practically Halloween? Oof.
This sort of thing happens all the time so I'm not concerned. Only things that I'm considering from E70 are Ziggler, Vince (Assuming it's an FB) and Gargano. EC3's a maybe

Man, some of you people just do not quit, do you? "They're cancelling EVERYTHING! Mattel sucks! They're killing the line! They're going out of business!" Mattel finds a way to still release a figure that was cancelled at retail, which, as I've pointed out before, is something they always try to do. The actual number of totally, completely, 100% canned figures is infinitesimally small compared to the number of releases. "God Mattel sucks! They just moved a retail figure that we already knew about to an exclusive spot! They're killing the line! They're going out of business!" Eh, I see where you're coming from and sort of agree to a point. But people are right about the Top Picks Line. They wanted the top talent available year round and are still putting them in degular elite lines when there's a ton of talent they could do instead. Im not saying never put a Seth or Finn in an elite line, but they're doing it in almost every single one. Whi h imo defeats the entire purpose of the top picks line. I don't disagree with that either. It is definitely silly to put the same guys in the regular Elite line in the Top Talent line as well. My issue is that people here want everything both ways. They want to complain when stuff is cancelled, and then they complain when they find a spot to release it. So many of the complaints around here are because people didn't get their own way, not because of legitimate issues. The legit complaints get lost in the mammoth amount of vomit.

I just hope this Almas figure isn’t taking a spot away from the real Ringside exclusive. Hopefully it’s like Shield Angle last year
I guess they had their pick of 3 $hltty Target figures. And they took the best of the 3
I wonder if Strong & Titus will take spots in the regular Elite line now? Or if they will join Itami, Richter, Gorilla, Lita, etc in limbo

Sdcc will probably just be all the unreleased figures shown again with new homes Except for Wendi cause they still cant figure out how to release it. 🤨

If the NXT Andrade was released as a Target exclusive, people would complain about how they cant find it in stores and should be sold online
It is released online and people are still complaining

Awesome reveal! F this company. Why? The Milwaukee Brewers have a better chance of beating the Yankees in the World Series than Mattel making a Dino Bravo figure.

I'd be a fool if I really thought they'd make Dino. I was just hoping for something good. And the Mets are beating the Yankees in the World Series. At least thats what I keep telling myself...

So, the next RSC exclusive will be Harley Race, because they’re showing us they can provide an outlet for figures that, unfortunately, were the product of bad business?

Hey, I don't know why people are complaining - I haven't seen an opportunity to buy new figures in over 3 months! The idea that I might be able to add some figs to my collection in the next 2 months is great news for a figure collector in 2019!

I think the main reason people are taking issue is because they hyped up the reveal only for it to be a figure we thought would be appearing on shelves any time now, and also now it’ll be in October. I think if the announcement wasn’t hyped it’d be fine. It made everyone assume it was going to be something new.

What you’re really revealing is the other 3 disappearing haha. If this had just popped up on site I’d have been pretty happy. As it is I’ll still order eventually I’d say, but I woke up here excited (Australia) and went “oh that’s it”. Don’t think that’s what they were going for.

Plus now we gotta wait till October for 1 OF THEM! This is just absolutely ridiculous from Mattel. If they had just went “Ya know what this has been ridiculous let’s just drop them all in Mid July on Ringside” I would’ve been cool with it. But instead we gotta wait another 3 MONTHS! This is just incredibly infuriating

What’s funny is like a month ago I swear the thread was on here somewhere where they were talking about Itami being cancelled. Didn’t bill or AFA chime in and say this line wasn’t canceled? Because that was the rumors or whatever Some of you guys on here can act like everything is perfect in Mattel world. But it’s obviously not HOC ended, Flashbacks Elites and Basics ended, NXT Elite line and Basic line ended, Ultimate Deletion dropped (Epic Moments done presumably?), what’s next? No more Retros, No more Ultimate Editions after Shinsuke doesn’t sell at all (if they ever make it to real retail in the first place)

I don't collect the NXT figures but this is pretty awesome for the folks who were dying to have this, and now it'll be easier than ever to obtain. No idea why people are mad about it. It'll save you gas money, car wear and tear and the headache of checking empty Target shelves daily. Win/win here. Bravo RSC!

Sdcc will probably just be all the unreleased figures shown again with new homes I think your right.they will show the final product on all the figures they showed last year or canceled ones repackaged.it's a good thing I didnt have high expectations on the Exclusive ringside cause it was a big let down for the ones wanting a flashback

Underwhelming for an exclusive announcement but good news for those who want Andrade as he will be much easier to obtain than he would have at Target.
