Everything looks good, but at the same time nothing really blows me away. That Rated-R Edge, and BOPPV WM30 Taker are the only must haves for me (not counting LOD and Luger which are already old news at this point). I don't really need another Vader, but I'll probably cave and get the new one if I ever see it at retail.
I'm more excited for tomorrow when we'll in all likelyhood finally get to feast our eyes on a Mattel Hogan, and maybe even Sting or more Flair's.

Some great stuff! Where's that orange basic Miz from??
Edge exclusive looks alright and good that it's got the Rated R belt, but hate that it's in the dreaded black and red. It looks like it's actually the same outfit -- or very close -- to the Edge that came in the 2010 belt pack with Cena. A shame, considering there are so many different looks from his career. I'll still buy at least one, and maybe repaint a second.
WrestleMania elites: Corporate Kane being the build a figure is fine, not exciting but at least we'll have it. Cena still not including the shirt is a joke. Bryan, Wyatt and Undertaker all look amazing.
Lesnar's the Big Book figure? Not sure that's a good move, considering it's basically the Elite 30 figure again... But I'll get it regardless, stupid me.
Regular elites: Batista's tattoos look awesome. That figure could really do with a packaging variant where he's posed like in these pictures. Luger looks really good, LOD look phenomenal. This is the Hawk and Animal I've been waiting for. Ryback looks great too, but I'm sure the skinny-waist short guy body will annoy me when I have the figure.
Usos... Man, I'm so glad they're not in red! And come with t-shirts instead of tag title rereleases. Fantastic stuff. Not sure about that Kane... Still has the old/inaccurate 2012 top on. FINALLY The Rock has a new headsculpt. Nice to see that era represented, too. Vader is about what we expected. Ambrose is fine, but unexciting.
Basics Basic Kane with elite legs? Cool stuff. I like the variation we've had with Kanes on show here... Corporate Kane in a suit, corporate Kane in wrestling attire, and regular masked Kane (albeit without his updated singlet). Goldust looks great, Titus is definitely worth buying, Rollins too. Probably Big E as well. Definitely skipping that Orton... A three year old headsculpt with the inaccurate beard? Lame.
Definitely skipping Big Show, Ziggler, Cena. Definitely getting RVD, Henry (although another black and red singlet on a Henry figure is disappointing), Eva. Is that her second figure or just changed the outfit from the prototype? Rey's a maybe. Probably won't, but the neon deco does look cool.
I'll get t-shirt Bryan and AJ, probably Cena too as it looks like they've given up on elite Cena shirts now.
Mankind basic in black tights? Did he ever wear black tights as Mankind? I guess that proves that series 45 isn't WrestleMania Heritage. Maybe it has some other theme.
Two-packs Harper and Rowan look good. New head and wrist wraps on Harper, new outfit colour on Rowan... I can live with that. Warrior is worth buying the two-pack for if I can't find him loose at a decent price. Same with Jake. I'll probably get Del Rio/Sin Cara when it goes on clearance, the Cara's pretty cool-looking. Truth and Xavier is a definite get. Taker and Brock is probably a definite miss, although I bet I end up convincing myself to get it just for the unique (and useless) accessory.
Overall, good preview night showing. Looking forward to seeing new stuff today when it comes crashing down and it hurts inside.

I am really disappointed Cena doesn't have a shirt. I want one in that attire but it is incomplete without a shirt.

At least with the Johnny Ace series Cena/Elite 20, one had a shirt and one had cool alternate accessories... Same with Elite 23/Heyman series. Either this one or Elite 28 should have had the shirt, but instead, one has a mic and one has a chair. So disappointing.

It'll clog shelves regardless of whether or not kids want to complete corporate Kane. And I'm sure it'll be heavy packed too.

Yeah, maybe he'll keep the attire long enough where we'll get another Elite with the shirt. He's had it for a while now it seems.

Dang, that's 4 RSC Exclusives in a row that I won't be getting. Bummer.
But other than that, happy with seeing LOD and Lex displayed loose, and that Vader looks incredible. I can't wait to see what's in store tomorrow.

I'm so glad the Uso's are in the green and pink attires. But no tag team titles? Those stupid rubber shirts are such a waste and will be thrown right into the garbage where they belong. Now I need to find a set of tag titles somewhere.
That BOPPV Bryan looks excellent. Definitely going to have to pick that one up.
USA Warrior should have been an elite. Have to pass on it since it's a basic.
Other than that the only other thing that interests me is the pink AJ but we already saw that.

Honestly I wouldn't have any issue with Cena being in it if he had the neon shirt. I actually really dig that thing. But as Mattel said it didn't fit the budget. I wish they would've moved Cena to a different elite line where he could have the shirt instead and replaced him in the BAF line with someone more intriguing

I agree on the usos, I been looking for tag belts and looks like the only option is to spend 40 - 50 on the daniel Bryan or get 2 kanes. Ill prolly have to get 2 kanes since itll be cheaper than daniel bryan.
