- 2 first time Elite guys (like E21 Ryback, E22 Sandow, Tensai, E23 Cesaro), maybe even a tag-team - 2 regular/popular sellers in new attires (like Cena, Big Show, Rey, Kane, Rock etc.) - 2 Flashbacks: 1 an earlier version of a current/recent guy (like E18 Undertaker, E19 HBK, E20 Christian) and 1 first-time Flashback (like E19 Elizabeth, E21 HTM, E23 JBL, E24 Trish). ...and have at least 2 shiny belts per-series too.  What about you guys? |

I like this, but I think that:
1 first timer,
2 main event regulars,
2 mid-carders
1 Flashback
would be more to their liking.

I'm actually quite satisfied with the assortment of Elites we get. I could use a few more "new to the line" characters, but sprinkled in once and awhile is good enough. 1 Flashback per set is more than enough to keep me happy. When we get more than one it's a bonus.

Other than I wish there were always at least 2 FB per set I think it's time as is.

I like how they are now. I dont think we need to force mattel to do 2 flashbacks per set. Think about the budget in your dream set.

I would love 2 flashbacks per series yes. I wouldnt mind if they did it like in Elite 16 either where they had 7 figures with 2 flashbacks, the first flashback being in Case A and the other one being in Case B. I think every elite series should have at least 3 belts as well and the rest ladders, tables, chairs, shirts, hats.

Honestly the current roster should (and does) take precedence over the Flashbacks. I don't think 2 Flashbacks a set (figures clearly geared towards collectors only) would be a good idea, especially cause they would be packed 1 per case anyways, meaning we'd get even more extra Cenas and Mysterios whereas if they had another current guy, they could get away with packing them 2x per case.

I'm happy with the Elite series as it is.

I think 2 fb per set would be great. Even if it were only every other set they had two instead of one. They would sell as long as one was a FB of a superstar that is still recognized by todays fans such as Hogan, Warrior, Savage, Undertaker, Shawn, Triple H, etc..

I'm in favor of as many Flashbacks as we can get, provided they're not all from the Attitude era.
I'd love to see a wave like E23 every few sets.

I'm ok with one flashback a wave as long as its a new wrestler. If they redo an already done wrestler in the Flashback slot I'd be okey with it if we got a second flashback that was a Never before done wrestler. I kinda feel Cheated with the Giant being the only flashback in his wave.

Care to explain what will happen once 3 series in they run out of 2 new guys per set to do?

I like the idea in theory, but the roster isn't deep enough for two new guys per series (certainly not for two new guys who'd sell well at current prices). 2 flashbacks every series would make sense if one of them was a repaint/older look of someone they've already done - Cena, Undertaker, HHH, Macho, HBK, Austin, Rock etc - and then one completely new flashback. Honestly the current roster should (and does) take precedence over the Flashbacks. I don't think 2 Flashbacks a set (figures clearly geared towards collectors only) would be a good idea, especially cause they would be packed 1 per case anyways, meaning we'd get even more extra Cenas and Mysterios whereas if they had another current guy, they could get away with packing them 2x per case. There are only eight figures per case. Only two of them can be 2x per case. |

Could always just do one full set of flashbacks every now and then

I guess what I'm saying is if it was broke down the way he said, you'd get Flashbacks that were 1 per case in first waves and non-existent in second waves with more and more of the two "regular/popular" guys. I think the Elite line has a nice mix though personally I would like to see more opportunities for lesser-known guys like say 3MB or the Usos to get Elites, which is why I have said multiple times they should do away with accessories in the Battle Packs and just give them Elite articulation. |

Even if they took away accessories, elite articulation would put them at a $30ish price point easily. Retailers wouldn't want them. |
