I like the NXT line I hope it doesn't get canceled due to Mattel's bad calls.

It's funny though because Bobby Roode and Ember Moon were the ones from NXT elite series 3 you couldn't find anywhere and still can't. Meanwhile the two guys from the set that were on the main roster at the time of release, Reigns and Rusev are clogging shelves at every Target I go to. Yet where I live, I have seen none of Elite series 3 ever. I got 3 out 4 from the website - Ember was tricky, Bobby and his new belt are still MIA. Target stocking these exclusives lines has been quite bad, Wal-Mart is the worst with exclusives, TRU is almost dead, K-Mart might as well be dead - it's bad all around.

A straight current nxt line would not work. Hell, I’ve been to a few targets loaded with only ember moon. The 1 or 2 flashbacks are to keep the line alive i need your home address. I have some snake oil i would love to sell you.

If they keep the current game plan of two sets of NXT Target Elites a year we are going to fall so far behind. I'd like to see them included in the regular elite line. 1 NXT, 1 Flashback and 4 current. Thats not too much to ask is it?

The 1 or 2 flashbacks are to keep the line alive well how's that working out all I see is Rusev, Roman Reigns flashbacks clogging the shelves in my area and in some places you can still find Bailey and Askia. Poor choices for figures and distribution issues. If they loaded the wave with current nxt stars, they would definitely have to limit the cases sent out and the amount of figures made. Adult collectors obviously are in nxt stars. the kids who are the main customer for these figures, probably aren’t to familiar with the product as we all are.

when are we going to stop pretending that children buy more of these than adults? Basics? sure. but elites? not until they hit clearance.

As someone who worked in retail for the better part of 15 years - I have NEVER witnessed a child buying a $20 action figure. I've seen them buy $10 action figures. I've seen them buy $20 dolls. But I have yet to see a single child buy an elite, or a 6" marvel legends, or a Voyager class or larger transformer etc etc. UNLESS they were marked down. I dont care who told you what. My experience says otherwise.

Could be worse. In Australia we don’t get any exclusives anymore. We had one series of the hall of fame, summerslam elites, that WCW 4 Pack elites. I want the NXT Elites, Fan Central and Hall of champions but it looks like I’m going to have to keep paying a fortune online for them.
