I wouldn't agree(as a consumer) that Big Lots was the #1 place to find the ESR, it was TRU exclusive for much longer and unreasonably marked up($60 is a lot). If it was $50 or $45 that thing would've at least been a moderate success imo(also it came out too early in the line).
With that said, thank goodness Bill and co. market this line intelligently and bring us an awesome stream of figures and playsets every year, you deserve your success!(unlike hasbro)
Also, I'm going to be buying 5 Seth Rollins elites just for the tables and ladders.

Rumor Killer: There is NO wrestler/mamnger 2 pack set in the works and there never will be. not sure why ppl thought this. Yeh, there is a basic Ricardo & Heyman......but its obvious that Zeb Colter is still in early proto stage.

Rumor Killer: There is NO wrestler/mamnger 2 pack set in the works and there never will be. Huh... But I thought you said Paul Haymen was going to be in a 2 pack with Punk or Lesner. And didn't we get Vickie and Ziggler a bit ago. Maybe I'm getting confused and not understanding..... Edit: ohh set...right. makes sense.

Paul Heyman is in a 2 pack with Lesnar or Punk, that was confirmed. Ricardo is coming out in a single pack and not a 2 pack. Zeb is just in the early stage All 3 managers that were shown are not going to be in 1 set

If rvd leaves wwe before his fig is released will it just end up like elite 1 jeff and stay a prototype The main reason that figure wasnt released is because of the situation surrounding that person at the time. It was bad for a company image targeted at kids. They release loads of people outside of their release. So unless RVD goes to prison for drugs or something then they will be released regardless.

I guess I was a little disappointed with the Q&A. I'm not trying to sound like an ungrateful jerk. I know they didn't even have to answer anything for us. I guess I more so expected one of those longer write ups where they answer a bunch of questions. My stuff was more so about the new scale figures that just came out, so I thought it was something a little out of the norm. But it's no big deal. Glad to hear about X-Pac. I agree. I would've preferred some different questions to have been asked. I was hoping some other names would've been asked about for future Flashbacks. I personally don't care at all about Umaga, Boogeyman or Mike Tyson getting figures. Disappointing that RVD won't be out until mid-2014. I don't understand why Mattel would be willing to rearrange lineups to get somebody like Ric Flair or Goldberg into a set as soon as possible, but not someone like RVD. I guess I'm glad that I'll be doing my own fix-up to hold me over until then. Most interesting part of the interview was the fact that they're only able to do figures of guys who are under contract with the WWE and aren't able to sign guys to individual contracts. That really narrows down the list of future possibilities for Flashbacks.

I think we should look more at the positives that came out of the Q&A (...let's face it, these things will never please everybody). Awesome stuff we found out: - all new packaging for 2014 - Elite RVD is in the works - working on the other 2 Wyatt Family - new Wrestlemania Heritage series, including 2 guys not on the current roster - X-pac is definitely coming - more Flashbacks in a series (similar to Elite 23) every now and then - commentator Jerry Lawler likely - new Elite Ultimate Warrior and/or Bret Hart figures - sales are really, really good

Was there any talk on wrestling buddies? Are we getting Ziggler or CM Punk? That's maybe something I would have liked to hear a little about from MDT.

MDT,
If you wouldn't mind throwing a bone to us legends collectors who'd like some news on 80s/90s legends, not counting guys like Bret, Warrior, HBK, what is a rough estimate of the guys from that era currently signed that are a possibility? 5? 10? 20?
I really hope Elite 23 does well as I'm excited to hear about the possibility of larger Flashback theme waves!

Why doesn't MDT ever respond to PM's? They probably get a ton of them. Plus, they probably aren't on here very frequently.

I am happy, they asked about more Hitmans and Warriors, Mattel said yes.... I look forward to these in the line sooner rather then later.

Believe it or not Warrior is my favorite legend out of everybody. Jericho is my favorite superstar but every day I FEEL THE POWERRRRR OF THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR. Therefore with that whole warrior thing about getting some figures I'm marking out
