Good Mornin' gents and few ladies
As we know, every year around November or December I think, Mattel releases the "Best of" line for Basics and Elite. Usually it's just Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, John Cena and some random wrestlers. Who do you think will be included from the great figures we've seen so far? I'm hoping for Kane from Elite 12. I missed out on that figure and it's been a real bitch trying to find that isn't gonna be $60 - $80 in total to get to Australia. Who would you like to be in the lines what from we've seen so far?

Resurrected, I hope you get a Kane, it's great and should be included as a Best Of. If he's not included the line is a joke.
But damn, I hate these lines. I wouldn't mind so much if they were only stocked in Nov/Dec but it's now March and April and I'm still seeing these restocked in stores. It feels like they're keeping new figures off the pegs or from being ordered. Sorry for the mini rant.

My dream team;
E12 Kane (3 per case)
E9 Ryder
E11 Punk
BoPPV Old Bret Hart
E13 Cody
Probably Sin Cara, unless they make too many?
Of course they wouldn't actually reproduce these Ebay darlings, because their line wouldn't be as meaningful if there wasn't at least a handful of mythic figures that are a pain in the tuccus to find/buy.
I think it would be respectful of them to host a poll of all the figures they've made that they can still make and choose the top 6 most demanded in basics/elites for the "Best Of" lines. Of course Cena is Mattel's best seller, they make 3 times as many of his figures in a series for cripes sake!
I'm waiting to actually see E12 Kane in person because Walmart got all futuristic and jumped to 13 after 11 in my area.

I'm expecting the elite 14 Del Rio to be in it, for some reason.

I'm waiting to actually see E12 Kane in person because Walmart got all futuristic and jumped to 13 after 11 in my area. That's a good line up. But would Mattel include E9 Ryder since E9 Orton was included in BO 2011? Ryder should have been in BO 2011. IMO he's a more interesting looking figure and we wouldn't have had two Orton's released so close together. I also never seen E12 at Walmart and I don't think TRU had them either. My Targets and Kmarts really picked up on this wave. |

Del Rio (14)
D. Bryan (12)
Punk (11)
Cena (14)
Henry (15)
Ziggler (13)

E12 kane should be in the set. Lukcily i bought a few online earlier so ive got mine but yeah we get so jipped here, its sad we have to hope that best of assortments have figures we want.
Id say:
E12 Kane
E11 Punk
E14 Booker
E15 Cara
E13 Sheamus
E14 Rock
Though there might be a few figs here that wont make it because the set might blow budget since most of these come with a fair amount of accessories.

their "best of" set is not to be taken literally guys it doesnt mean the best Elites....it means the figures of the characters Mattel overproduces and wants to try to sell more of Elite 11 is from 2011...theres no way any of those get into a BO2012 set. BO2012 Elite will be E12 Orton E14 Cena E15 Mysterio and 3 other figures we haven't seen yet they might throw Sin Cara in there from E15 because I'm sure they are going to keep making his figures because he has a mask and kids will want to uyb it  |

dont forget, its best of 2012, which will have 5-6 assts of Elite, so we are taking guesses without knowing who is in 16 or 17. I would also think that we wont see anything before E12, since E11 Cena & Rey were in Bo11.
Finally, including Bryan would be a very poor choice, since he looks nothing like the E12 figure anymore.

I doubt Mattel will put Flashbacks in this line.

If they REALLY did a Best Of 2012 series, it would include Elite 13 Dolph Ziggler, Elite 12 Kane, Elite 14 Rock, Elite 15 Sin Cara, Elite 13 Cody Rhodes, and Elite 13 Edge. However, we will more than likely get something like Elite 12 Randy Orton, Elite 13 Rey Mysterio, Elite 14 John Cena, Elite 13 Big Show, and Elite 12 or 14 Del Rio.
