Elite 69 you say? I will absolutely preorder a Val Venis if he's in E69 just for the joke alone. If a figure ever deserved to be in a specific line up.... I would love a Val with a towel, mic, and IC belt!

Hopefully Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander are in one of them. They were shown at SDCC so I’d expect them. And I need Mustafa Ali ING NOW!!

Yeah I remember seeing him rumored to be in the same series as Dream and Orton. So hopefully Ali is in 68. Only thing that I wonder is will his mask and glove light up? He’ll likely have a interchangeable head and glove going by the SDCC pic

Only two confirmed names for Series 68 are ABA Undertaker and King Mabel (chase). ...I thought ABA Undertaker was going to be a Best Of The Attitude Era figure?

The only thing I’ll probably be guessing correctly is that I won’t be purchasing much from those three waves. Last year I only made a handful of purchases and this year it was worse. I’m losing interest in the line :/ which isn’t exactly a bad thing, but it would be cool to get some of the figures that should of been made already. I want some wcw fb like jeans DDP, wcw Bret, ponytail Luger, billy Kidman, ‘98 Sting elites I feel ya. Hell, the distribution issues alone are enough to sour someone on the line.

If the trend continues, I’m done. I understand that losing TRU was a huge loss, but like what went on with HOF at Target, then it happened with HOC, now what’s going on with the Flashback line at Walmart ... it’s frustrating. I also understand that these are KIDS TOYS, for the most part, but it isn’t a problem to see figures of Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, The Rock, ect ... but when they actually DO make something that an actual adult collector would want, it’s like pulling teeth to find it. Mattel is trying to get things situated, that part is why I gove them some slack ... for now, but if it keeps going like this then I’m most likely done. I hope that won’t be the case, but I’m not in this to make money or scalp, so if it becomes an issue with being able to get anything that I want, then that’s enough to throw in the towel. Don’t disappoint me, Mattel 👍🏻

Don’t disappoint me, Mattel 👍🏻 My main issue is that as an international collector, it's impossible to collect the figures I want. My main interest in WWE programing for the most part is exclusively NXT, and the elite line isn't available in Canada since we don't have Target anymore. I understand why retailer exclusives are a thing, but other toy companies, namely Hasbro, work to put their exclusives in other stores that are available here. On the flip side, when the US lost Toys R Us, Mattel bent over backwards and scrambled to find a new home for those exclusives. The fact that they can't be bothered to do the same for their international collectors is a major disappointment for me, but hey if Mattel doesn't want my money then so be it, I'll just stick to Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series.

Impossible? Slighlty dramatic, theres ebay, ringside and amazon, and not to mention getting a relationship going with people on here, thats how i get my US exclusives, so a little more expensive, but impossible? Not quite

The store exclusives are always a pain from Mattel especially with Wal-Mart and Target. Every figure from the Flashback wave was 2 per case in wave 1 and 2 even Alundra, Harley Race easily should have been 2 to make things easier and consistent. The one good thing with TRU was there exclusives were a little easier to get than Wal-Mart and Target. I've gotten almost every Mattel figure at close to retail or a few dollars more. Harley Race at 5 times the cost of retail is crazy to keep the run complete. These ne store exclusives in every other wave might be a pain since Wal-Mart and Target both stink at stocking current waves of elites. If I can get Pete Dunne, Sensational Sherri, and Alexander Wolfe all debut figures at a decent price online I would especially since the employees in Target are scalpers. I don't have easy access to a Wal-Mart so its easier to get their exclusives online and pay a few dollars more which is the gas and tolls that it would cost me to get there.
