Point blank Harley Race should not have been in this set. Put him in the regular elite line and make him a non "Chase" figure. Then people could just order him whereever online and mattel could have sold a lot more than right now.
No one knows if this is it for flashbacks series 3 or if more will pop up at some point. It would be great if a person who works at mattel would look into this and post some kind of update.
Wink wink, wink wink....

If it wasn't shortpacked and widely available at Wallyworlds, it would be less in demand... #alundra

So question. If santa makes his toys, if I get a Santa made Defining Moments Bret Hart is the value more or less than a Mattel made one. It’s the same. Unless you are talking sentimental value then it depends on who you like more Santa or Mattel. Now the real question is will people complain about the elves Q/C like they do with Mattel?...those poor elves - I can just imagine Santa now (in Vince McMahon voice): "YOOOUUUUU'RE FIIIIRRRRED!!"

Why do I feel like there's no reason to panic and that in 1-2 months time, we'll have Flashback 3 pegwarming at all the Walmarts like Flashback 2 does now?

Series 1, 2 and as of now Series 3 all had two restocks and were gone within the week. Series 2 is still all over the place near me. One Wally has nearly 20 figs of the set. Other stores have near 10. It’s clogged up bad here.

But even the stores who have had none, or one FB left over for months now, aren’t stocking Series 3. It’s very odd to say the least, what Wal Mart is doing with this series

The closest Walmart stores to me don’t even have elite figures. Battlepacks, basics and zombies. This is a rerun from last year.

Season 2 is overflowing in every Wal-Mart in Southern California. Never found Series 1 Elite FB though. Same for Series 3. It's been talked to death here. Hopefully someone from Mattel is paying attention and trying to right things - if not now, then hopefully the line-up will find their way into other sets down the line, as has been the case with other high-demand / limited-supply situations (Lost Legends line, Paul Bearer, Dude Love, HHH 2002, Bossman, Kane, etc.)

It’s very odd to say the least, what Wal Mart is doing with this series It sounds as though most of them over-ordered Series 2 (maybe Series 1 too) and are having trouble shifting them - so they didn't order Series 3 (or if they did, only ordered VERY few)...

I can speak to most of my stores having moved briskly through series 1 and 2 with little effort. I know of one location with a few series 2 left. Even then its like 1 of each. And none of these locations have received even one case of series 3. That's not to say They absolutely won't. But this year has been a nearly impossible one for WWE figures at retail around me. Especially at Wal-Mart. The series that did in EVERYTHING that came after was that damn Wrestle mania series. Which we're still swimming in. Although they've been moved away from the main WWE section at all my stores.

Yeah series 2 is warming hard in my area. Then you have the typical Walmart’s that just don’t re stock. Sigh.

I’ve barely seen any Elite Wave 2 in my area, and have seen no Elite 3 or Basic 2. Sounds like some distribution sucks, and some really sucks.

That's what the walmarts and targest around me looked like yesterday. Hopefully, after Christmas, they will order more of Flashback series 3, still need Steamboat and Race.

I think any time you have a NEW offering of a 1st time in the line figure it should not be short packed. Plus you have a well known former World Champion in Harley Race and it just makes no sense. I hope they reissue him as the King as well as former Champion. This is simply not right and damaging to their future with avid collectors like me.
