because its in the name "Exclusive" most of the time Ringside wants their exclusives to be something you most likely couldn't get at retail. They tried doing the current-guy in a different attire thing with Mysterio and look how that turned out (he's still in stock, and cheap as hell) Mattel might release a heel Ryback in the regular Elite line...but they wouldn't be releasing say "Hardcore Kane" the Rey figure was technically a flashback. It wasn't a current figure Current guys don't really sell well like flashbacks being exclusives. I think flashbacks are much cooler exclusives. Another reason might be is that they don't make enough flashbacks in the elite line the only current figure that RSC did as an exclusive was SES CM Punk......and that figure sold out several times I think alot of the reason has to do with the fact that Mattel only make a couple flashbacks a year. They already do so many current figures.....any ideas they have for a current exclusive, they would probably want to release that at retail instead. Where as a flashback they can slot that in anytime they want....they have to release current figures within a certain time frame. Otherwise the gimmick/attire might be too old/forgotten/unpopular by the time the exclusive would come out.
