Why are people in this thread saying Brodus and Finley? They're not FB's.
I would say E13 Edge, but I wasn't collecting then. I got him for like $20 on classifieds on here. E20 Christian is one of my faves, but I've probably seen him the most.

Wow...Lets all try and kill Flashbacks! Lol. Not at all... If anything it shows that Mattel has the right idea with flashbacks. And as yet I would suggest we haven't seen what I would call a+++ level flashback. No savage, hart, SCSA, Hogan, warrior, deadman taker etc at retail. My guess is that they would fly out the door. E23 will be the test...

E13 Edge and E20 Christian both hung out for a few weeks, and there was a E14 Bossman that stuck around one WalMart for about a week. On the other side of it, the only Mattel Elites I have never seen in stores are E16 Nash (saw several Diesels though), E18 Lawler, and E20 Jericho.

Ahhh well in that case......Yes, every Elite Rey and Orton shelfwarms. One of my WM's already has 5 E21 Reys.
Elite Cenas do pretty well. They're actually pretty cool figures.

Theres another walmart near me that also has 4 E21 Reys. I actually really like the figure but I already have an elite Rey and he isnt someone that I really like enough to get multiple figures of. Randy Orton is one of the few guys that I dont have one single figure of. I have yet to see one that impresses me.

My favorite current Orton is actually the Superstar Entrances one.

Odd as it may seem AE warms in my area. E20 Christian and E18 taker both warmed in my area. Yet 80's flashbacks like Liz and HTM are both hard to find. I still have never walked into a store to find Liz. I guess that kills mattels theory of AE sells and 80's don't. Then again a lot of mattels ways of packing and rosters don't make sense to me. Mattel does do a lot of good things too so I guess I can't complain too much. I'm pretty sure Christian and Undertaker were packed heavier than the .05 per case that Liz and Honky Tonk Man are. I wouldn't say any of these warmed because that implies lasting more than a month, but Mankind, Christian, Liz, and Big Bossman all hung around longer than you would think. There was a Target I checked every few days for a while that had a Liz for over a week. That's pretty nuts. Never saw Kevin Nash in person, had a friend snag me one.

Never saw Kevin Nash in person, had a friend snag me one. well it has been more than a month and target and walmart still have at least 2 Christians each. That's at 4 walmarts and 2 targets. So yeah I would call that warming. Now mankind I did find a lot, but never lasted more than a day or 2. Liz like I said I have never seen at retail and Boss Man I only found once. so I wouldn't say those 3 lasted longer than one would think or at least not in my area.

Everyone's areas vary so wildly, it's the one thing that we all have in common, we all have a valid point when we say distribution is all out of whack. I and other North Carolinians nearby can all attest that Elites are easy as can be to find, that basics are difficult to track down, and yet in other areas, people complain about the sheer volume of basics and how they never see half of the Elite sets in their stores. I agree on Elite 20 Christian warming, I concede to your point on that one. Someone on MDT loves Christian, and I admittedly do to, but if more people loved him maybe he'd hold a belt longer than a few days... Anyway, despite not making that requisite "TV time" they still make an unheard of number of Christian figures. More than a dozen at this point.

I think they packed him right in tru BAF, yet it made no sense due to the BAF parts.

The worst part about all this for me is that a lot of the FB's, and other Elite shelfwarmers, I actually regret not getting now. (Bossman, Regal, Taker ABA)
