I am a bit bummed about flashbacks being the way they are. But it's either this way or nothing. So we all (myself included) need to get used to it.

Two questions... How did Monsoon get thrown in that quickly? The fact that he was Elite style, canceled then replaced that quickly makes me think they already knew that series would be canned. Next, Classy Freddie? Why? We’re getting him but yet Richter and Naomi have been shelved for two years. Naomi is never getting released. Richter has been shelved and she still can’t be placed. Yet this dude gets a place? Yeah I’m sure he’s gonna fly off the shelves. He has a few figures already and I’m pretty sure they’re all in the same outfit! For a guy who had so many fashions, Mattel picked something he’s been made in for the past 30 years. I’m about done. Did you read the Q&A you are gonna get both Naomi and Richter. Chill he straight up said they wanna find a home for all the canceled figures except Kenta cause they obviously can’t. Even Titus and singles Roddy. Chill you will get your figures. It’s a priority to replace them all into the line. He said it many times. I feel like I've seen the same user post about this damn cancel Naomi and Wendi at least 10 times. I I'm all for getting that Wendi figure but I'm not going to obsess over it and certainly not going to quit collecting just because of that much less a garbage Naomi in my personal opinion. But like you said in the Q&A they stated that they're trying to find a way to get all of the cancelled figures out with the exception that you mentioned. I could care less about the canceled figures right now if they could just fix the garbage distribution problem that we've been dealing with for the past few months

Maybe Wendi Richter will be the Elite 75 store exclusive, available exclusively in the two TRU relaunch stores slated to open in 2020.

I mean I’d imagine Naomi is just an easy fix to slide in the network spotlight set if it’s a success at Target. Wendi will obviously be a Walmart exclusive down the line. Titus can be a Target one, same with Roddy boom done.

Anvil is 73 Walmart exclusive, with the Nattie that was Walgreens exclusive. Since Walgreens exclusives were cancelled, Nattie was retooled and put in series 73. Where was this stated, thanks 👊🏻😎

I’m just saying it’s odd how they keep slipping in people yet Naomi has been on the shelf for two years. She isn’t the champion anymore, she doesn’t wear that gear anymore, hair done changed lol. I highly doubt we’ll get what we were shown. I’ve also not seen a high demand for Blassie. If this was 10-15 years ago there would still be a decent demand for Blassie. He was still over as hell when he would make appearances in the 90s/00s before he died. Exactly. 10 to 15 years ago. I also recall him warming when they made him in Jakks’ CS line which was around that time.

I HATE HATE these figures that I want the most are short packed - not on-line. Again, these moves might be telling me to stop collecting for those legends are the ones I want the most but will NOT pay that much money for scalpers!!! I am a bit bummed about flashbacks being the way they are. But it's either this way or nothing. So we all (myself included) need to get used to it. ...if you guys are frustrated, spare a thought for us here in the UK: we don't even have Walmart stores - and the only retail store that stocks Elite figures (Smyths) never order any of the exclusives (...heck, they don't even order full sets of the regular Elites anymore...). As Medieval said though, it appears to be this way or nothing - and at the end of the day, I'd rather have these sorts of figures released as exclusives than not released at all.

I'd love to know the answer to that, too Someone said next year's summerslam wave. I don't remember who though. I remember hearing that as well, I believe he was shown with the renders of Ronda Rousey from her Summer Slam 2018 look. Can't remember who else I saw with them, maybe Rey Mysterio.
