This is the problem with leaked lineups. People see them and assume they’re etched in stone and then gets pissed when figures get canceled or moved. And whose to say where Black ends up. I don’t think anything has officially been announced.

I don’t think anything has officially been announced. Like I said, this post isn't about the Aleister Black figure being moved. That just got me thinking about the NXT figure line. I feel like you just read the first few lines and then came and posted this.

So I am not seeing the argument that NXT wrestlers will only appear in the NXT line.

The line is alright I guess and gives us some new names in there for basic and elite figures

The line should be used to release figures that we wouldn’t usually get in the regular line. That being said, I had no interest in a Flashback Rusev or Reigns, those two spots should be used for someone like Eric Young or Roderick Strong, some other figure we wouldn’t normally see in the line.

Mattel likes making money, they stick the guaranteed sellers in the main elite slot, they stick the not so sures in sublines, if they fail there well it's at least contained to one store. Look at the retros for proof of this. They did well and thus were moved to more stores. This doesn't apply to every figure but it explains enough I think. Just my two cents.

It could be worse, ya know?
A) It could be a Wal-Mart exclusive
B) These figures could not be made at all
I would rather have current NXT guys/gals instead of NXT Flashbacks, though

First was he (Black) officially scheduled for series 60? As in confirmed by MDT to be part of series 60 or was it speculated off another rumored lineup? Black was not confirmed by MDT for Elite 60, however the original source was right on all of Basic 78, Basic 79, Basic 80, Basic 81, Basic 82, Battle Packs 49, Battle Packs 50, Battle Packs 51, Battle Packs 52 (pre-Enzo), Elite 54, Elite 55, Elite 56, Elite 57, and Elite 58. He probably wouldn't have batted a thousand on those lineups anyway, but I don't think it's fair to say those were mere speculation. Has it been confirmed that NXT talent isn't allowed to be in the wave? I just thought maybe they moved Black to fill a hole in the next NXT wave. Not at all. Has it been confirmed that NXT talent isn't allowed to be in the wave? I just thought maybe they moved Black to fill a hole in the next NXT wave. I asked bill at RSF if NXT figures are going to stay in the NXT line and he said yes. My guess is that mattel is guessing that by the time that series is out (late this year) the Authors will be on the main roster. There's really no reason other than that that they'd be the ONLY NXT figures in the Elite line in like 10 lines. You mean the Elite line, right? Just making sure. Does anyone else really dislike this pointless thread? He's got a right to express his opinion. As long as the conversation remains civil, that's all that matters to me. This is the problem with leaked lineups. People see them and assume they’re etched in stone and then gets pissed when figures get canceled or moved. And whose to say where Black ends up. I don’t think anything has officially been announced. You know what they say about people who assume...

I like the line, it's just that trying to get figures at Target is a major pain in the ass. They just take soooooo long to stock and are super difficult to track down. It seems as if the don't do a lot of restocks, so you may only get one or two shots at it and then they're gone forever.

Any exclusive line makes me groan because Canada. I swear toy companies go out of their way to make sure they check what stores we have, then select ones that aren't here.

I just wish it was elite only. Mainly because I hate basics. But I’ve only bought one figure from the nxt lines and I don’t see myself ever getting more than say..5?

I dislike that I can not find anything past series 1 at my Target, just like I can't find anything past Then Now Forever series 2 at my Walmart. If what I have read about upcoming lines. I might just wait for the elites. That being said I may have to pick up No Way Jose. I don't see another one of him being made anytime soon.

Has it been confirmed that NXT talent isn't allowed to be in the wave? I just thought maybe they moved Black to fill a hole in the next NXT wave. That shouldn't be the case. Finn and Sami had regular Elites while still in NXT, as well as some Basics.

I feel like it's a way to rush out figures with terrible part choices that will never be fixed in future releases. Seth had terrible part choices. The Revival should have had Arn's body and thicker legs. They got cruiserweight bodies with stick legs. WTF? Jericho's figure has thicker legs than the Revival's. Then they give Bobby Roode terrible parts as well.
