Or like what they are doing with Backlund and Sherri, being the store exclusive in Elite series 63 and Elite series 65 respectively. Sorry if this is a dumb question but what does that mean? Only certain stores will get certain flashbacks that are integrated into the main Elite line? Why do they make collecting these flashbacks so difficult?!? Lol Yes. In the upcoming main elite lines, one figure from each line will be a store exclusive; in elite 63 Bob Backlund will only be available at Walmarts the rest of the line will be available everywhere, in elite 65 Sherri will only be available at Walmarts the rest of the line will be available everywhere. In elite 64, I forget who the store exclusive will be but that figure will be like Backlund and Sherri, though, I think this one will be exclusive to Target (not sure, someone else needs to verify this for me). I believe going forward this will be the case for 2019 since they are putting the Walmart Flashbacks and Hall of Champions lines on hold for 2019. Those lines may come back in 2020. They said that the flashbacks and HOC lines are taking up space for the main elite lines and making distribution difficult and sales for the main elite line less which is why they are putting the flashback lines on hold. This kind-of sucks for me as well since I only collect flashback figures.

This kind-of sucks for me as well since I only collect flashback figures. I see. That sucks. If it's going to be like that for us Flashback dudes, I can't see me staying interested. I can't even find Harley Race. Every time I go to Walmart, it's the remnants (that boring Steve Austin Flashback) and I'm tired of wasting gas. Guess I'll end up paying double retail price on scalper-ville if I really want these. What sucks is scalpers and resellers know the rareness of these and they will just buy them to resell, bending over the collectors like us. Thanks Mattel, lol.

I wish they'd made them 1 in every 3 or 4 cases (like the chase figures) instead, rather than being exclusive to a certain (US!) store - that way, everyone could have a chance of finding them and I doubt they would clog the shelves either.

I live in an area with 15 - count 'em - 15 Walmart's within 20 miles of my home. A month ago when Flashback Series 3 came out I jotted down the inventory numbers of those 15 stores to see which ones change on Brickseek when Series 3 hits. Here is what they were 1 months ago and what they are today.
OLD → TODAY 15 → 15 14 → 12 0 → 0 14 → 14 8 → 8 29 → 25 5 → 5 5 → 5 0 → 0 8 → 8 22 → 18 8 → 8 0 → 0 12 → 12 12 → 9
This tells me a few things. - Series 1 and 2 aren't moving. I hate to say it because they were both great sets, but over those 15 Walmart's only 13 total units sold in the last month. - 3 Walmart's have been content not to reorder the series at all. They've sat at zero for a month. - There are going to be a ton of Series 1 & 2 on discount in my area shortly! I hope. - I'm never getting what might be my most wanted fig in the last 3 years... Harley Race - unless I'm ready to pony up $50+.

Because if you went in and counted the pepperoni pizzas today, i bet there are the same amount, roughly, in a months time

Check Brickseek everyday when I wake up, when I go to lunch and on my way home from work.

I finally picked up the set tonight from the worst stocked Walmart in my area. They didn't even get Series 2, and it seems like a lot people found them at places that didn't have series 2 either.

Watch for stores that show a clearance price. When you find Series 3, you can return them to the clearance price store and rebuy them for the lower price.

Well to answer the OP "no" not at all likely. You might want to change the 2018 to 2020.

This one's not on my radar in the least, but having seen the 1st quarter 2019 Target exclusives debacle play out thus far, I need this figure to come out, and I need it to be a one off Target series exclusive, if only because the complete meltdown over Pete Dunne and/or NXT 4 just plays out so much more humorously when it's the Red Rooster at the center of it all.

I’d be surprised if it ever came out, it’s been over a year since we saw the proto now.

Maybe it’ll end up being like the WCW nitro 4 pack. Ended up coming out after a while

Wasn’t it already shown packaged up? I want to believe it will come out at some point somewhere. I just wish Mattel would keep us in the loop better.

Heard he will be a Walmart or Target collector's edition chase figure, one per case. Get ready to spend $100+ on him. JK LOL !

Hopefully this figure ends up as a Target elite chase figure down the line . 25 bucks is too high for a figure with just a coat
