This set is pretty solid for me considering i sold off most all my elites and stuff recently and have been getting back into building up my collection again. So I will probably jump on damn near the entire set. Ambrose, Rollins, Clay, and Bruno (possibly). I can see Bruno being easy to get at retail. Bruno will probably be one of those figures i just keep in the packaging, as he really serves no purpose in any of our collections lol There is no one for him to really wrestle, or pose beside or anything. He's just so... out of place! ha

since, I'm pretty sure elite 25 is the last series of 2013. I'm noticing we're getting one less flashback than we did last year. 2012 had 13 fbs. 2013 Christian Honky Tonk Man Cactus Jack The Giant Hardcore Kane Macho Man JBL The Undertaker Triple H Trish Stratus Bruno Sammartino thats 11. Plus u have to add in the Ringside Fest RSC figure, which will most certainly be a fb as well. So 12. 2 golden age flashbacks for the whole year. htm and savage. 2 great picks but what a horrible year for golden age fans. 1 new gen flashback. and the rest all attitude era or post a.e. and bruno for the truly old school. hope there's more golden age and new gen stuff next year Pretty ridiculous. I thought we'd at least see JYD or Big John Studd. Makes me sad.

Looks like this'll be the first Elite set I'll preorder.

I hope Sin Cara is in that whitw/blue attire like the new battlepack! Green zebra would be nifty as well. This also means I no longer have to buy The Shield's basic figures, which I'm kind of pleased about. Sammartino is before my time, but nonetheless it is really cool and I will likely buy it once it hits retail.

Pretty decent set. Guess this means I can hold off on getting the basic Shield figures now, and although Bruno was before my time, it'll still be a cool figure to have.

I'll get Shield and Cara. Brodus, depending on attire.

Not liking this trend of only getting one flashback per series. Thats 5 of the last 6 elite series with just one. We dont even know if Trish is even a flashback either. And I havent heard of anybody other than Xpac and NAO signing legends deal so man it could be slim pickings for a while for flashback collectors!

I'm glad the people who want them are getting them, but it's frustrating to see the Flashbacks mostly concentrating on one era and some even going post-2000.

good series. i do remember bruno saying that he worked out a merchandise deal and is getting some figs done, ALTHOUGH i HATE to admit it, he is TOO oldschool for me.
HOWEVER
i will be eating up elite ambrose and rollins. thanks for the lineups, now i dont have to waste $$ on their basics-i dont like collecting basics.

Bruno only for me.....HOWEVER, one has to think when this set will be released. Bruno just signed his Legends deal in like March/April..Doesnt it usually take a 8-12 months to get a new release?

Definitely in for Bruno - if he's not young Bruno we can at least pair him off against Macho Man.
I don't get many modern guys, but I like the Shield and will get them for sure. I hope next yr sees more 80s guys and tag teams!

I'm sure they are reusing old parts for Bruno so all he needed was a head sculpt.
Similar to how Brock was also rushed into E19.

I plan on picking up Rollins and Ambrose.... Bruno will depend on whether or not Mattel's version trumps the Jakks version I currently have.

Sin Cara in the green zebra costume would be awesome as well as Bruno w/ old school title belt.

don't let MDT fool u. They can churn out an elite quickly, if Bill wants to.
They made Corporate Mankind in like 9 months. And he had a new shirt, pants, mask, cloth socko.
I'm pretty sure Bill is into really old school wrestling (hence his comments about not understanding us thinking LOD was an iconic attire)
I'm 29.....and Bruno is before my time. I can't imagine him selling much. But I bet the fig will look great. I hope he has new hand molds (kind like Tensai) I want an open hand.
Also, Bill stated they can do any title that originated in WWE (during the RSF q&a).
so i expect the wwwf title

mattel made superior belts, it just waste if they don't take this chance to insert the old school wwwf belt with bruno. really wished they made it

psyched for the rollins and ambrose. will definitely get bruno as well even tho he was before my time and i started watching in the early 80's. sin cara is a probably depending on the look. sheamus is the orton, cena, mysterio of the wave. and dont know what they can change on brodus, probably be a different color attire and maybe the white track suit.
great to see most of this years hof class getting figures but how about some from previous years such as ron simmons
