When I say ‘Elite exclusives’, I’m referring to the Target/Walmart exclusive figures like Col Mustafa, The Goon, Zodiac, Warlord, Chief Jay Strongbow, etc. If they are continuing, do we know what the exclusives are for Elite 91, 92, 93 or beyond?

fortunately no. Strongbow is the last regular one
Steve from Mattel said that concept was only going to be used for "special" situations moving forward

No which is the right call considering that anyone after elite 87 warlord was extremely hard to come by

As mentioned Strongbow for E90 is the last one for the standard exclusive we know now
E94 CE is British Bulldog but he will be packed in every case not a store exclusive

Considering the reduction in current roster size and the return of the Legends line, I don't think they need the exclusives right now. There's suddenly a lot of spots for Legends.
What I loved was that era when they were releasing CEs of NXT talent and the women's roster, but deep roster cuts and the dismantling of NXT have rendered that kind of a moot point.

I don’t understand why they’re keeping Collectors Edition if they’re not gonna be exclusive. If everyone is getting him then what’s the point of having Bulldog as a CE and just not a regular figure in that wave?

Even in terms of people who are still there, we might have a Cameron Grimes by now, or a Dragunov, or a Kay Lee Ray. |

I think it's to have special packaging like the Undertaker 30th anniversary figure did. |

we finally dont have to pay scalpers for these . lol. what a day.
im glad tho its gone. it became a double edge sword. happy we got characters we wouldnt have gotten, but not being able to find/buy them was even worse. so im not sad. if it means we dont get for example - Warlord with no tag partner...then i have no issues with it..
