The whole NXT Series has been a mess. Elite Series 3 has been out for quite a while and the stores around here have yet to have any of them and still are getting more Series 2. Then we only got one or two cases of Basic Series 2. Then they made their big mistake of packing Ciampa & Gargano with more Series 1 instead of just adding them to the series 2 cases. Now we have tons of Zayn & Owens warming the shelves.

If locally is any indication I can see the NXT Elite line getting cancelled as well with the amount of Rusev and Asuka figures on the pegs at my three Targets.

I had a feeling that the NXT line had been scrapped as we probably should have been on series 5 by now.

My target is killing me with these exclusives. They haven't stocked series 3 at all as far as I can tell. There are tube men series Owens, Joe and Itami blocking that pretty hard and going nowhere. Rusev and Reigns flashbacks that nobody wanted are blocking any new elites. I have not seen any Hall of Champions elites there at all, just the battle packs. Bright side is we are down to just one Tito:/

The only thing I liked about this series was the elite packaging anyways.

I kinda hope the NXT line is over. Not because they can be difficult to find, but because I think the lineups weren't really all that great, and in turn, we have actually been getting LESS NXT superstars as opposed to more.

I enjoyed the NXT line but I think they killed it with poor lineup choices once again. Series 2 of the basics was great outside of the delay on Gargano/Ciampa, but Series 1 and 3 were terrible with the re-released figures that nobody wanted. The Elites were much better but I think they packed way too many Asukas for Series 2 and even MDT admitted that nobody asked for that Rusev that seems to not be a hot seller. It's a shame really because they had so many options for figures that people really wanted and now turnaround time might be even longer for NXT people if the entire line is truly going away.
Edit: Editing this to add that it seems like distribution issues might be the biggest problem facing the line based on others' posts.

I don’t want to see this line die. It was the best way to get new faces in figure form since the main lines just have the same guys over and over again.

Well truthfully nxt sucks now so it doesn’t surprise me that the demand for guys like Finn Owens Nakamura etc isn’t what it is for Roderick etc. the only big want from most people moving forward I’d say is Adam Cole and co. And ricochet

It's a tough position for MDT. Store exclusive waves are always going to have to rely on repaints and low-deco figures, because they only produce a fraction of the figures that are made in worldwide releases, meaning smaller budgets. There have definitely been some questionable lineup choices, but it seems like a can't win position.

Well, I for one am totally cool with this. Anything to get exclusives away from Target as they have got to be the worst at keeping new stock on the shelves.

So the original line-up to NXT Elite series 4 was 1.Alesiter Black 2.Ciampa 3.Gargano 4.Paul Ellering 3 of the 4 have new homes in other line-ups already. I wouldn't care if this line ended honestly. I would've liked to get a few. basic Triple H but I can live without them. If the basics aren't coming out I would assume it is the same with the elites.

Well, I'm not too upset because it doesn't affect us Canadians. Really wanted the Ciampa/Gargano basics but I'm not paying ridiculous eBay prices.

Imagine that...another Target set gets cancelled. Targets are absolutely terrible around me. They seem to only restock during seasonal resets or when there's absolutely NOTHING left to do in the entire store (did you count the divots in the ceiling tiles? Ok, fine...I guess go and stock some toys...*shrug*). Hey, here's an idea. Close Target and keep TRU open. Rusev is always handsome though.
