Is there a list of all the Target and Walmart elite series exclusives that have been and are going to be released?

When did people first start seeing Dunne and NXT 4 hitting? If it was like September or October then I understand the people in the US complaining about not finding them. If it was anything after that then stop being impatient. We dont get new Elite series at any store near me for like 6 months after they release everywhere else.

Why are people talking about world problems in a wrestling Figure forum/thread???
It would be a valid point if this were worldproblems.com.
So who’s really being dramatic 🤔
On topic, I don’t things are going to change anytime soon. It sucks because I would hate to not be able to have access to those exclusive figures withoutgiving an arm and a leg.

I'm not a fan of the Target ones. My Target rarely stocks elite figures of any kind or even exclusives

At times it does feel ridiculous that the store that it is exclusive to doesn’t have it or never gets it. Flashback series 3 only had two cases and Fan central Series 2 only showed up at three Walmart stores in 100 miles. Now NXT Series 4 is extremely hard to get. If a set is only going to Walmart then Walmart should be filled with them. The biggest problem with Pete Dunne, Sherri, etc. is they are one per case and sell fast. Then the store won’t reorder until the rest of the set is mostly gone which can take a while depending on who else is in the set and limits the amount of chances available to get the figure.

What I'm really hearing is Target and Walmart suck. Mattel should be giving them both feedback on what collectors are saying.

Please, please complain to WWE about this, via their twitter, emails to sales departments, whatever it takes, Mattel have to stop this! Its a disgrace what people have to go through to buy a particular figure. Shame on you, Mattel!

Neither company is going to turn down guaranteed money with a contract. I’m willing to bet Mattel’s WWE line is financially the most successful WWE toy line in history.

In all honesty here aren’t we only really talking about Pete Dunne and Harley Race. I feel like NXT 4 has been distributed pretty darn well so far it just has been a popular set and has I’d say at the very least two more months of prime shelf space. People will say Fan Central but that really was Walmart just picking up some figures that Mattel was stuck with, with Survivor Series rumored to be the exact same case. Backlund has been very easy to find, ive have seen gold standard Shelton three time and chase Hawkins twice. All the flashbacks elites prior to series 3 were readily available and you can get most of flashback two on Amazon for under $15. So really it just seems people are bent out of shape over two figures?

You should make a webpage or topic about it, and then simply post a link to your unsolicited explanations (like I do with custom figure tutorials lmao). At the very least it'll keep your blood pressure down.

There's really only 2 explanations 1) Stores never ordered or stocked the items or 2) Items sold out quick

I am experiencing similar fears to toys as I am with comic books right now. Every week people looking to get rich off comics are running 2-5 titles a week up to $20 or so a book which is insane inflation on a $4 comic. Toys are the same way, someone snaps up all the chases. Another decides no price is too high. Boom, now us reasonable people who know that no piece of mass market plastic is worth $120 just have to pray we get lucky or we just take our ball and go home. I see longtime comic readers drop left and right because of how terrible the market is. Now I see toys doing the same. They are both wounded critically and I don't think either market will sustain in their current form.

I enjoy comics, but I don't collect them, and can't imagine ever stopping just because I can't have a physical copy of some butt-ugly variant cover.
Similarly, I enjoy action figures, but I'm not gonna suddenly get rid of my entire collection because I can't get a Backlund. I don't give a about Bob Backlund.
