Now my local Smyths are constantly full of reduced Elite figures that won't sell and even B&M have had older sets rot on their shelves for months.
This year however Mattel have started reducing figures from the UK waves. First it was one and now it looks like two so if there proves to be no market for Elites in the UK are we in danger of losing them completely?

Doubt it . Just a bump on the sale market for elites. And seeing from how smyths looks it seems they get tons of figures. So maybe they won't get new ones till it starts selling. Plus new elites we been seeing possibly bring more sales since there becoming better and better looking . Just wait and buy some cheap figs to help out

Plus Smyths had 4 figures from both E61 and E62 up on their website and took them all down a couple days later.☹😓😢

No. Smyths always have a massive stock, obviously some will remain unsold, hence, the sales, the UK is WWEs second biggest market, not a chance will our only remaining toy shop stop selling Elites.

Eh I’m not saying we’ve lost them but I think it’s definitely a watch this space situation
People were told that if they continue to expect to get Elites for pocket change then they can expect Smyths to drastically change their approach. That time could be now

Most Elite sets in my local Smyths are constantly reduced, in fact last Christmas the staff had to box up a lot of the old sets to make room for the recent series and it didn't even sell. A business is not going to constantly stock a product that they don't make money on. They brought in the HOF series a few years ago and it failed miserably.

Smyths will not stop stocking the WWE Elite line, if they werent selling theyd sack it off, they wont stock stuff if its bot making them money, they havent stopped so we can safely assume they make money, theyve been selling wwe figures forever, that will not change

If sales take a nosedive over the next year, Ronald is gonna reconsider the Big Mac. Ronald serves his bank account, not the few remaining minions that still love a Big Mac

If sales take a nosedive, if my aunt had balls, all very hypothetical, the WWE section in Smyths is still as massive as it ever wad, in the 3 around me anyways, so, i am fairly certain there is nothing to fear. You want WWE stuff in the UK? Smyths is and im sure, always will be, the go to place

Years ago the Spar used to sell pink lemonade and it was lovely. One day however I walked into the shop and strangely it was no longer on the shelf. I ask a member of staff and they said that the shop stopped stocking it because it was a poor seller. So basically my demand was not enough because it didn't make a profit.

The Elite line is being compared to Big Macs and pink lemonade, wow lol but no, you won’t lose your Elites. Be funny if it happened though just to see the uproar on here, UK collectors already complain enough lol

I hope they don’t. I was in the U.K earlier this year and in every smyths I went to all around the country seemed to be plagued by Alexa Bliss elites, it became a joke to me.

They miss out an all the exclusives, they have been getting 5 figs per seriesfor a while now often missing out the better ones and now they are now reportedly only receiving 4 a series with 61 missing AJ and Tyler. I’d say it’s fair to be worried and posts like yours just serve to wind people up instead of furthering the discussion. If you have nothing but snide comments to contribute isn’t it just better to not post?
