Figure of speech, it means good luck finding any in store.
They will be ebay and discount store exclusives.

I'm not even gonna lie, I would lose it if they made a Final Nitro Shane in his turtleneck sweater. That's been one I've wanting to make for ages, I've just never really known how to pull it off. And street clothes Rikishi would be epic, especially if they did him in his "Bad Man" getup. I don't think we've ever gotten Heel Rikishi before in any line? Have we? I have a feeling if they do Nitro Shane they’re just gonna give you BAF Perfect without the suit jacket and a Shane head. Probably. Which is silly because that flashback head wouldn't work at all for that figure. My kingdom for more than two options for headsculpts. |

I know these aren't mattel friendly but Val Venis, Sable, Gangrel, and Grandmaster Sexay would be so 🔥

If we look at other speciality lines like the RA etc I do t think we had any FTIL or surprises? Just era equivalent attire / looks and so think this will be the same Expect HHH, bret, hogan, piper, macho (if deal agreed), Goldberg, DDP, Shawn etc Don’t expect disco, Kidman etc Eric Bischoff was a FTITL surprise Torrie Wilson as well. |

I mean deals are constantly getting done. I am sure when they were planning out this line Mattel submitted a list of names they would like explaining their long term plans for it & the importance of keeping Walmart happy too. |

I am very excited about this line and think it will incentivize Mattel to push WWE harder on getting rights to talent from that era. But my main concern is that it is in the hands of Walmart with their poor track record on pre-orders and retail availability.

I probably won't be getting any of these Monday Night Wars figures, because I begrudge paying these small time online businesses for their unreasonable increasing prices and their "Take it or leave it" attitude when you try to negotiate with them. Just because they carry Legends figures at retail in the UK now, it doesent mean that you have to jack the prices up on the other exclusive sub lines. The Eric Bischoff Ruthless Aggression figure was priced in the £70 range. Ridiculous!

I don’t think it’s very good at all. Other than Taker and Triple H, I don’t really want the rest that much. I get that they’re iconic looks, but I have zero interest in a denim vest Scott Hall. NWO shirt, sure. But I’d prefer wrestling attire. Same with Kevin Nash. I have never seen a single Kevin Nash figure in a retail store in 3 different states (except for the last elite Diesel which was deformed in the package) and I even worked in the stockroom at Target during the time Hall of Fame IC champ Diesel was hitting the shelves. Here comes another Kevin Nash and it’s street wear. At least I’ll be able to find this Nash because very few people buy wrestlers in street clothes.

It’s got the Dean Ambrose legs and torso and the longest neck peg they got. |

Don’t even want the ring so already having to pay a silly price to get the Bischoff we all need. |

I may be dreaming this up but I swear I had a Jakks Austin figure and he was in jean shorts with a black long sleeve shirt and camo hat. If I had that figure, I loved it.
If it never existed, I want an elite regardless.

I think it's a pretty good time to do so as the folks in the main age demo likely have disposable income for stuff like this. With that being said, I need the nWo, Bret, and multiple Eddies. I am so excited for this line...I...I...I can't wait  |
