Um... Backlund Dunne Sherri Are all exclusives in the regular line. Mattel would probably say we are already doing that. lol And you also probably would lose them when you say “stock workers steel them” sure there may be some Target employees who buy them. And why not? They have just as much right to as anyone else, but for the most part it’s other customers getting them before you and reselling them. I didnt say stock workers steal them. I didnt write the petition. Ive found Dunne and NXT series 4. Im good. |

But they  should have worded much of that differently. |

If they want to make exclusives just put them on RSC site.
Still waiting for the next ones to be exclusive to different gas stations lol....

Store Exclusives are cool if they're not so limited. I love the NXT line that's been at Target, but this last Takeover set has put a bad taste in a lot of collector's mouth's for sure.

I dont see why anyone would want store exclusives to stop. First of all, they wont be in the original lineup anyway. So it's not like it will be easy to find vs hard to find. So, why would you simply want to cancel out a figure? I know it can be frustrating, but how is hunting for "that figure" not fun at times? And when you actually do find it? It feels like you struck gold!
Cancel store exclusives and you're basically canceling an entire line of figures. People dont seem to see it that way. You seem to look at it like a Pete Dunne or Alexander Wolfe will be on all store shelves if it wasnt exclusive, and thats almost definitely not the case.
Sure you will probably see one of them eventually, but maybe it will be a basic, or maybe it will be a year away, who knows?
That's the fun about collecting! Having that one figure that no one else has. Dont you like showing people or being able to tell people that YOU found this figure or that figure? Or that you own that $200 figure that no one can find or afford? It would be boring af if we all had every single figure because they were all so widely available. No one would care about your collection because they would have all the same figures or they would be simple to find.
That's the exact reason why the Hasbro figures of Brutus Beefcake, Big Boss Man, Jake Roberts, and The Rockers are so damn cheap-- even still in the packaging-- because those were the ones that were mass produced and everyone had. Same with LJN Hogan figures. I could go on and on. But Hasbro Series 11 is the most sought after and high valued because it was very hard to find and not mass produced. I remember, those were almost as hard to find as some exclusives. Anyone who owns a Hasbro 123 Kid in package will most likely say that's their best figure. Cancel out exclusives and no one will ever be saying that about any Elites years from now.
Store exclusives, RSC exclusives, Amazon exclusives, SDCC exclusives, they are never going to stop making them, period. So dont get your panties in a wad because of it. Just have fun and keep on the hunt! And when you find that figure then you will feel awesome and lucky! And if you hunt hard enough then you WILL find that score eventually. But no one is going to find them all.

Then the stores should stock more to sell more. I may be mistaken but I am pretty sure Bill said in a Q&A the reason they are adding them into a case of the core line was because stores weren’t ordering the core line and just their exclusives. so this was a way to give the store exclusives while still making them order the core line. Personally what I think they should do is whichever store is getting the exclusive they should pack two of the exclusives per case taking away one more of a popular figure in the assortment. This way the stores get double the exclusive figure, but the other popular figure that was replaced by the extra exclusive is still heavily packed in all the other mass retailer cases. Your scenario makes perfect sense. |

I despise the idea of having to go to Walmart. And the target ones seem to be scalped immediately.

How about some sort of middle ground like 2 exclusives per case instead of 1?
Personally, I think canceling exclusives is basically killing the fun of hunting for figures. Honestly? I haven't been able to find a single exclusive in any store. But im not bitter about it like most people are. I'm waiting for that opportunity when I do find the exclusive I'm looking for, and it will happen. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a year from now, but it will happen. Same goes for everyone else. Keep hunting and you will find it.
Taking away exclusives is not going to add anything to any line at all. It would just be Elite 65 without Sherri or Elite 66 without Wolfe. You're basically saying you dont wamt those figures at all.
All you're doing is taking away from yourself and settling with a bunch of common elite figures that everyone can get everywhere.
If you think canceling exclusives is going to put that Wolfe figure in the regular Elite 66 line then you're so wrong.

A huge part of collecting to me is the hunting and being surprised(or not) with what I find. I also don’t find any exclusives but that hasn’t stopped me from searching. |

I'd rather the figure be out there and hard to find, than for it not to be out there at all. But I do think that retailers need to make them more available on their websites. Not everyone has a Walmart or Target down the road.

Count me as "if they all get them and keep them in stock." Pretty big if though 😣
Edit: And have stores in other countries where they can be had if the store it's exclusive to in the US doesn't exist in a given country.
