I buy all my figures online for the most part, as I live in Australia, we pretty much don't get anything new ever...
I have been updating my collection of late with Mattel figures...
My question is this, has any flashback ever been a shelf warmer in your area? I guess the question would probably also extend to the elite line itself, do elites warm the pegs at all?
Not sure why it interests me, guess I'm trying figure out the likelihood of the line remaining in its current form.
Thanks

Not to say it was necessarily "warming" but I could build a ladder to the moon with the amount of Mankinds i'v come across.

Depends on your definition of shelf warm. I've seen E12 Shango, E13 Edge, E20 Christian on pegs for weeks but they will eventually sell out so I guess they shelf warm for a little bit and then sell out.

Christian is the one I've seen that was least popular, I think the UK got massive amounts of Elite 16 too so I saw a lot of Diesel.

Papa Shango just became one of my wants. I'm pretty aggravated that I passed on it so many times. I just figured if they put out a Shango as the first FB, then we would've easily gotten a Shoot Fighter Kama, or Godfather by now.
Edge was very easy to find as well and so was E20 Christian. People are paying out the ass for the set in about a years time. Its my favorite figure Tag Team I think I've ever had!
Elite 18 Undertaker was probably the biggest "shelfwarmer" out of all the flashback so far. And its a shame as he is one of my favorite figures of all time!!!
Mankind and Jerry Lawler weren't that easy to find. And Kevin Nash, Liz, Kane, Booker, Yoko, Liz, and Honky are pretty damn hard to find!

There's been at least one Undertaker Elite 18 on shelves for me for at least 3 months, I sprung and bought mine early and now in hindsight I could've waited. The only two flashbacks I've seen other than that is Lawler, which I bought, and Edge, which I didn't because I had no money and when I went back to Target it was gone.

Jerry Lawler. There at least 20 of them between two Smyths near me. No exaggeration.

My stores usually sell out a series before the next one arrives. E20 and Christian are still around but I think my stores received more shipments than usual.

Brodus Clay! The walmart near me has had 4 of them for about 2 1/2 months now and they refuse to order any new elites until these sell apparently.

FB Edge, FB Christian and FB ABA Undertaker are/were by far the biggest shelf warmers. Most have eventually sold but they hung around for a very very very long time before finally moving...which one does have to ask, if the Attitude Era is so popular why arent they selling well in the Flashback line? King Booker and Kevin Nash are the only ones that have sold well.

Odd as it may seem AE warms in my area. E20 Christian and E18 taker both warmed in my area. Yet 80's flashbacks like Liz and HTM are both hard to find. I still have never walked into a store to find Liz.
I guess that kills mattels theory of AE sells and 80's don't. Then again a lot of mattels ways of packing and rosters don't make sense to me. Mattel does do a lot of good things too so I guess I can't complain too much.

Elite 12 Papa Shango
Elite 13 Edge
Elite 18 Jerry Lawler
Elite 18 Undertaker
Elite 20 Christian
All of these figures were major shelf warmers in my stores during the time when their Series' were in production.

Edge warmed shelves here for a while. Currently its Christian that I see hanging around. Sad, as its such an excellent figure.

I wish, I'm pretty sure I live by a collector because everything worth buying is gone in a day thus never seen flashbacks more than once
