I'm still relatively new with Mattel over the last year but I do think they are spacing out the current to flashbacks quite well. I'll be honest, I only really collect the Flashbacks but do pick up the occasional AJ, Finn or Nakamura.
Even that Becky Lynch Elite was too good not to get. The Flashbacks are definitely a marketplace with us older fans and I think they are spreading them out nicely. I still want the Powers of Pain Elite and British Bulldogs (WMII attire) but all in due time.

I'm not sure this mentioned but I'd like to think that having a defining moments 2-pack would be a great idea. I know we have that Randy Savage WM3 coming soon but I think having him and Steamboat from WM3 would be a great seller. Maybe have the Barber Shop defining moment with Shawn and Marty. Again this might be more geared to the collectors than the basic users.
I'm still new collecting but more partial to the 88-98 time frame so might have a bias toward flashbacks.

Anyone in southern NH have luck finding the TNF Series 2 Elites yet? I struck out this weekend at Hooksett, Bedford and Manchester Walmarts. I was just at the Derry, NH Walmart today for my lunch break and they had one of each: Sami, MM, Natural Disasters. And then all Retro Hasbro figures and 2 BATB. It looks like they reloaded. That was as of 1:30p today.

I just stopped off at the Derry, NH Walmart this morning and they had the TNF figures on the shelf.
Shield x3 BATB x1
Sami x1 Typhoon x1 Earthquake x1 Macho x1
This Walmart is usually a little slow with restocking but had a nice WWE presentation there today. Tons of Ultimate Warrior DM, as well.

Being able to grab Becky Lynch, Nattie, Emma, and Naomi for Christmas for my daughters was a huge win for me.

My mistake fellas. Getting caught up on the Mattel side and would still love to see a DM Y2J especially of his debut from 1999.

I can across a Twitter feed that had a picture of Chris Jericho holding a Defining Moments Chris Jericho during SummerSlam weekend. It appeared to be on The Markout Moments Twitter feed.
My question is that I've never seen a Chris Jericho Defining Moments. (Disclaimer: completely new on the Mattel side, was Hasbro Collector). So is this something that is upcoming or a custom?
I'm trying to figure out how to get the pic on here.
Again, maybe this is nothing and Jericho had one already.

This is great. I am just starting my collection and was eyeing that 91-93 range but may need to expand based on this. Amazing! Nice work

Relatively new here in the Mattel side of collecting but saw this thread and got a few of the Shockmaster today. Appreciate the thread and knowledge.

For me I remember the last series st Bradlees and Toys R Us to be the series Flair and Santana as well. I felt that they had 22 Flairs on the shelf and 18 Santanas.
I never saw the Green and Purple Cards anywhere during that 93-94 timeframe.

I decided to wait it out a little bit, maybe revisit in a few weeks. Price seemed too high to me to justify. Staying the course and adding what I can where I can. Thx for all the feedback fellas. Truly digging the site.

Sounds pricey but depends on condition. If your not desperate for it you'd be better waiting for one or two to come up on auction. familyguy84 Yeah, I have until Saturday to let him know and he is not moving off the price. It just seems high to me but just didn't know. The condition is very good if not great from what I saw when I met him last week. I appreciate your thoughts on this. Will let you know if something changes. Memphis
