Yes I know what line he's in...What I meant was he's not packed as an exclusive within a non-exclusive Elite series in the same way that the other ones are, which I would assume means he'll be easier to find, but perhaps I'm wrong. FC and last year’s SvS I think were easier to find but a lot still complained of never seeing them. never even got ordered at my 4 walmarts near me.

Why shouldn't Mattel throw us Legends/Flashback Collectors a bone? Literally these are the only Mattel Figures I plan to buy. I just wish they were more readily available though.

So, here’s the list of upcoming Walmart Exclusives ... but, was it announced who was the one for E73 ? E68 - Pat Patterson E69 - The Rock E70 - Gerald Brisco E72 - “Classy” Freddie Blassie E73 - E74 - Gorilla Monsoon I know that we were shown a render of Jim Neidhart, so was that it ? Anvil looked like an ultimate edition figure. They must wanna kill the line already

At least this way, they can actually release the figures... I doubt we'd have them otherwise.

Let's not even get started on all the "muh Wendi Richter" people who hate Bill because they haven't found a spot for her fig yet. Even if they decide to go the store exclusive route, let's be honest, that's going to be the one exclusive that even the scalpers won't want lol.

It’s the name of the game man. Every time they release someone obscure to the average fan in the main line, it rots. This is a smarter business move for them and it ads the hunt back into collecting, which most of you don’t remember or ever had to do.

This is a smarter business move for them and it ads the hunt back into collecting, which most of you don’t remember or ever had to do. The “hunt” today is much harder. The 90’s/00’s has rows and rows of figures. Hell, I had 3 TRU here in then and a full row was dedicated to wrestling. Even in the RA age stores would put out a good 5 cases of a series. Hunting today is much harder. Walmart stocks a case or 2 if you’re lucky. Then thats it for that series. Walgreens gets maybe 3 from a wave. Target stocks 1-2 cases and thats it. We are all living in the end times of brick and mortar figure hunts. The online chase will be even harder when that becomes the only way to buy.

I know. I was saying that it would probably kill the line if they did. The first set has already been on sale on RSC. At $30, I’m sure many will end up on clearance. Shinsuke will peg warm and he was a very questionable selection. My point is, this line needs to be filled with huge names and very desirable looks. Ain’t nobody dropping $30 on Anvil. He elite figure was pretty much a direct to Big Lots release I love this line and want it to continue. I based my original comment off of the first page and I know it’s confirmed he isn’t an UE. I was basing my statements off of ‘if he was’ I’ll see myself out

Just bought Patterson online for $52. I'm in WalMart at least once a week and I never see any Elites at all. They just have Top Picks.

You guys are right, if you think its hard hunting figs though, try doing it from overseas! Even if they are hard to chase,,, At least we are FINALLY getting our Greg The Hammer Valentine!!! Gotta be grateful here really...

Why can’t they just do a small shipping case of like 6 exclusive figures? Ship the Elite series regularly then another box of just that one exclusive from the series? This one per case thing is just stupid.
And don’t say “oh if you ship too much of Pay Patterson, he’ll warm...” These Walmart’s can’t even stock right as it is. We’d each probably get one exclusive case, sell out and never get another case again 😂

I heard they in the same elite wave. Maybe Elite 73 & maybe Anvil is the Walmart chase. I hope to God anvil isn't the chase figure...I'm really looking forward to finding it but if it's a chase...I will never see it. And I really don't want to pay ebay prices for him
