So looks like the Pete Dunne elite is a target exclusive. Is it just me or is this a stupid idea? Surely he would sell better in the UK?
Based on past figures that are Target exclusive do they get sold anywhere in the UK?

The NXT elites were Target exclusive in the US and were sold by Argos in the UK.

Don't get me wrong, it will be harder and most likely more expensive to grab a Pete Dunn but not impossible. I have the NXT Elites which were target exclusives and I'm sure we will be able to get hold of Pete. He isn't in the main elite line because he isn't wrestling on Raw or Smackdown yet!

I agree with everything you said and I'm sure we'll all find a way to get him. Although when you said "because he isn't on Raw or Smackdown," AOP are based on their NXT attire with the titles. I think it was pretty stubborn of Mattel placing him as a Target Exclusive considering he is the UK Champion. |

So to clear up one or two bits...
Peter is in the regular Elite line (not the Target / Argos exclusive NXT Elite line), so normally we'd have got him no problem. They've decided to add a 7th figure to each Elite wave, which will be exclusive to either Walmart or Target in the states. Internationally, the 7th figures will be available, but as Bill said on Twitter, it's down to the stores to order them...
Now whether or not Smyths will order them is another story! Someone on the Mattel board claims to have got an email from Smyths saying they have no plans to stock any Elites until series 65, skipping series 61, 62, 63 and 64 (64 being the set Dunne is scheduled to be in)

I'm starting to doubt it. |

The NXT elites were Target exclusive in the US and were sold by Argos in the UK. "Were" being the keyword. How often do Argos actually restock them? I mean I've basically come to the conclusion we're not getting the next set considering I've yet to find the last set or the one before that instores. Happy times right enough... |

The set with Ember, Roman, Rusev and Bob are out there, unfortunately in pretty much every store I’ve been to they’re stuck with 3/4 Nakamura and Asuka, and presumably aren’t gonna order the new ones in until they’re gone |

I've been to a few different stores and it's always the same stock. Pretty certain I'm never gonna find NXT4 at retail.😓 |
