I understand why people think it’s jumping the gun, but you have to be realistic...
I’ve been collecting since Elite 28, and in that time we’ve missed one figure to my recollection (the first Basic Emma). Elite 58 appears online with Mickie James, she doesn’t land in stores, she’s removed from the site. Elite 59 appears online with Chad Gable, same happens. Elias is omitted from the website outright when the set appears online... I think people have the right to be a bit concerned that he won’t make the trip
Again, it could be an oversight! It’s not like it’s not happened before, but given recent form it feels like something more. I’m happy to be proven wrong though if it means I get to... walk with Elias

Took me awhile (bit slow right lol) but finally starting to understand the frustration for UK buyers. Weird missing figures when stores should be getting the same box assortments as everywhere else.

Took me awhile (bit slow right lol) but finally starting to understand the frustration for UK buyers. Weird missing figures when stores should be getting the same box assortments as everywhere else. Apparently the anomaly is that there are two different case assortments, A and B. Not sure what the science is behind them, but basically the contents of the cases is different, IE; in the case of Elite 59, instead of Chad being one per case, he was 0, and they bumped Finn from 2 to 3. That’s my understanding anyway... What I don’t understand is why we’ve suddenly started getting the different assortment. Maybe it’s something to do with UK retail having a bad couple of years?

I will be honest...for years I thought UK collectors were just bitching for the sake of bitching. But seeing that random elites don't make it in the case assortments is rather ed. I take back every thing I ever thought about you guys and a lesson has been learned by this guy.

I understand it’s decidedly a 1st world problem as my bills are paid and there is food on my table but it’s so annoying lol. Store exclusives I understand, side lines like HOF or retro’s I kind of understand but actual core series elite figs? Come on Mattel, your displaying open contempt for the UK customers with that. The thing is, the missing figs can be found for RRP or just above at the moment but as soon as these smaller sellers get wind of which figs will be omitted then I expect the price will shoot up to £30-£35. The question is why can these smaller sellers get the omitted figures but the nations bigggest retailer can’t?

I wouldn't say it's been confirmed. Some social media customer service advisor has "confirmed" it. How many times in the past have we discovered that they don't know their arse from their elbow?
I'd say see what happens when the cases arrive instead of getting up in arms at the moment.
