RVD, X-Pac, non current debut figure in the Heritage line as well as another non current roster guy in that lineup, Stephanie a possibility, possibly more E23 style sets, more Bret and Warrior Elites, all good news imo.
My biggest disappointment is no Punk in the Hawks attire. I hope Bill goes to bat for that attire. It's incredible and Punk's a Chicago guy. It doesn't get any easier than that imo.
How has Goldberg not done a Mattel deal yet? Is this just a money thing? Flair, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, those are some big name WCW guys that need locked down.
We saw a ton at SDCC this year. Hats off to Mattel for their presentation and same goes to Ringside for their coverage. I would have liked a little longer Q&A but I think the interviews we got with guys like Ziggler and Edge sort of made up for that personally. Also to Tim, well played on pairing Razor and Jake the Snake in the same question, I see what you did there and I think it worked. Wish we were getting a Mr. Perfect and Curtis Axel 2-pack though.

Out of all the questions they picked the elite scale ring and chaser belt question again??? Is that 3 q&a's in a row that's been asked? What a waste. I would of asked about a ELITE FLASHBACK HBK SINCE EVERYBODY WANTS ANOTHER!!!! I most definitely don't want any HBK figures. It's just the point that people are trying to make...why not ask about figures that haven't been made yet, instead of figures that had current and flashbacks already made.

Did anyone actually ask about the chase the belt things in the thread?I've not seen a demand for those on here. The excuse for not doing the Bret Hart Punk attire doesn't add up when they're releasing that Halloween version of Rey Mysterio. That list of flashbacks was so annoying. Either go through them one at a time or don't ask it at all. As soon as he went through the list I knew Bill could get away with not revealing anything. Which is fair enough if he'd get fired but then I return to the point about not bothering asking those kinds of questions at all. Did someone really ask about a shopping cart accessory too? What a waste of a question.I preferred those Q&A's they used to do on here when they'd go through the thread and answer everything. Also, hey guys, did you know they're changing the packaging? Get excited! Yes Someone did and I don't think MY question was a waste.

For those of you upset with the Q&A, RingsideC2 is asking you all what you would've asked, why don't you tell him?

Happy to hear an announcer Lawler is likely to be made.
A question I wanted adressed is if we'll be seeing more ring acccesory packs like the steel cage set that was recently released by itself. I'd love to see like an annoucer's table set or a TLC pack for that price.

The main issue here is most of the questions (submitted by us users) were asked BEFORE the reveal of various figures & Prototypes.

I'm guessing the WrestleMania Debut figure is Faaaaaan-Dannnnn-Gooooooo I think, from the context, he was referring to a non-current roster superstar, so more like a flashback/legends person. Also, sorry if I'm wrong as I don't follow wrestling anymore, but Fandango hasn't even wrestled at a WM has he?

Wonder what slot an Announcer Lawler would fit in.
I feel like we've seen almost every Bret Attire so they mainly meant Warrior.

Bill does his best with these interviews (he can't talk about certain stuff, so he has to be vague sometimes), it's just the questions...I mean holy hell, can we give up on the Elite ring, now? And that belt chaser question that always gets asked that nobody cares about? Sorry to be rude, but every year, sometimes twice a year, we get these kind of questions. Some good ones were asked, don't get me wrong, but we only get so many questions answered for these shows.
There were some nuggets of info I felt were good to hear. Scott Hall, who was written off on here, was now a "up to WWE" thing. If Hall remains sober, I think we'll get him in a few years. They just have to ink the deal.
X-Pac was one I was worried about. I don't know his status in the company these days, but to know they're actively working on him for 2014 was great to hear. Ditto for RVD - confirmation that they're giving him his own singlet and that he's even coming out was nice to know. They do pretty good with Ryback's Elites so I'm sure RVD's will follow suit.
With how many people on here are asking for that Hitman Punk, it makes perfect sense to make him an IE. They might have an extra dollar or two to play with, so we could get the black hoodie that way. We just saw Elite Halloween Rey, an attire he wore twice as well, so why not Punk if he's this wanted? He'd look great next to RSC Bret Hart.
I'm glad their sales are up. It's such a shame Legends bombed in the first year, because if they came out now, they'd undoubtedly do better...maybe not good enough to keep 'em around for the long haul necessarily, but most certainly better. Hopefully this new FB set does so well that they make it an annual thing every year that we can look forward to.

would have liked him to ask about any Elite tag teams coming out like Usos or PTP.,
Im stoked about Xpac, an RVD both being developed right now! Can't wait for them.
More Elite Brets and Warriors is great news!
Sucks about the ESR, but why not ask about online exclusive accessories?

I was happy with the Q and A.
The only question I'd have added would be for my own personal preference like.....
You've improved so much over the last 3 years so is there a possibility that you would go back and update previous legends into the elite/flashback line.
Like new versions of (for example) : Roddy Piper M$M Mr Perfect Jimmy Snuka Sgt Slaughter Rick Rude Hacksaw Jim Duggan Big Bossman DDP Etc.....
Like your doing with Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man. Thanks!

If Mattel Design Team would like to confirm Usos or PTP Elite, they are probably reading this thread and can reply. In the past they have said they are trying to get to everyone on the roster eventually but they need some TV time to justify being included in the line. There weren't many requests for Usos/PTP in the questions. Maybe with the Usos new recent attires/push it will justify their inclusion in the Elite line.

Yeah I understand why Ringside didn't ask the question but I too would really like a tag team in the elite/flashback line. It must be incredibly hard to pick who goes in with all the updates, debuts and Flashbacks to be made. Edit: Yeah PTP's and the Uso's have been getting alot of TV time recently. And they all have colourful interesting attires. So I hope for good news.

So glad to hear that we are getting an X-Pac figure. Now if we could just get a Lita to go next to Trish.
