Imagine being told in 2015 that one day we would all complain about the number of AJ and Nakamura elites. Or that a john cena figure would go for $125

Did Mattel overproduce this Series? The local Target must have gotten 15-20 cases already & are currently sitting on 18 AJ Styles. I know he’s two per case but this is ridiculous. Especially when they have sold through the set numerous times. Now Walmart is getting them several times. Usually the stores will get them a few times and then move on but this set just keeps coming and will make it difficult for 78 & 79 to come in. I recall that last year the stores in my area had waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many Summerslam basics. Some of those hung on the pegs through Christmas. I remember thinking they definitely overproduced those. Those summerslam basics were still on the shelves until about June this year here. I have no idea why they refused to clearance them out, but they didn't and they just rotted like crazy.
Now, there's a brand new peg or two of SS 2020 Rollins that are gonna rot for another year.

I think I'm the only one who prefers Elite 66 AJ. It's the first AJ figure I saw that made me actually want an AJ figure. I don't love light blue, and he's been repainted, but that one nailed it for me. As for 77, it's a great figure, but it's greatness is hurt by how many others we've gotten. If they'd skipped two or three others leading up to him, we'd be talking about how no one can find this one instead of how much of a nuisance it is. E66 is nice for sure. I’d say I probably like it a little more than E77, but I like E74 more than both of those. I liked E74 until I realized it was supposed to be the same attire as the battlepack with Bryan and that the color is too yellow

I didn't realize that about the Elite 74 color. It's definitely a sweet figure anyway, but I love the green from the Battle Pack and would have really liked to see it in Elite form.

We have something in common as I hate that figure too.
What's radically different however is that I also hate every other Alan Jones figure made. IDK why, but Styles just does NOT appeal to me, and when I see him hanging on pegs amongst greats like Austin, Rock, Taker, Trips, HBK and so on, I just see a TNA guy trying to pretend he's a real performer.
That said, I know AJ has made incredible strides and advanced himself as a top-tier player in recent years. I'm just an old bastard stuck in and refusing to move on from 2005, so I'm the problem.
