Elite 32 was the first set of 2015, actually. So it's more like:
E32 - Dec/Jan E33 - Feb/Mar E34 - Apr/May E35 - Jun/Jul E36 - Aug/Sep E37 - Oct/Nov
E38 - Dec/Jan
Course RSC always gets things early.

I would assume Stephanie McMahon will come out as an Elite in either 35 or 36.

I will repost here, as its still relevant.
Here's a quick recap from MattelDesginTeam's latest posts on where they are at with certain figures/ideas from the boards just incase some of you may have missed.
Ahmed Johnson: 9/1/14 - "No Ahmed yet." "When it makes sense and I can add them to the line I would want to, lets leave this as this for now"
Barry Windham: 7/31/14 - "Certain figures discussed in this Q&A (FB Jericho, Windham) are currently not things I am presently working on. However I do read these boards pretty regularly and try to get a pulse of what the hardest of the hardcore collector base wants." "You need to listen to the interview. I NEVER said you are getting or promised a new Barry Windham figure. What I said was I would like to include him in the line."
Acolyte Protection Agency: 8/14/14 - "I already have in mind how I want the figures to look. I am still not finalized on the door..."
Andre the Giant (elite 29): 5/22/14 - "The figure was always meant from the outset to be of his most iconic look, which was from Wrestlemania 3. With our rights to Andre expiring at the end of 2014 in the original deal it made no sense to only release one of the biggest WWE stars of all time as a limited release on Mattycollector.com. The audience for an iconic Wrestlemania 3 Andre is larger than what we orignally sold. "
Bottom Steel Steps: 12/16/14 - "Too big for the Elite box, otherwise it would be considered. Package size needs to stay a certain size or we pay to ship empty air, not cost effective to do."
Brie Bella: 8/4/14 - "Brie face ... being adjusted before final production" 11/28/14 - "Brie face has been improved since this sample was shown."
British Buldogg: 7/1/2014 - "Not in 32. Not any time soon. Unless you here it from me or an official announcement from RSC or other retailers it does not exist." 11/4/14 - in reference to a braided summerslam bulldog "Nope. He's not in HOF"
Chris Jericho Flashback: 7/31/14 - "Certain figures discussed in this Q&A (FB Jericho, Windham) are currently not things I am presently working on. However I do read these boards pretty regularly and try to get a pulse of what the hardest of the hardcore collector base wants." "So please be patient and do not complain when you do not see a FB Jericho at Walmart in 6 months."
Dean Ambrose: 8/4/2014 - "dean Ambrose hair masking being adjusted before final production"
Farooq: 9/1/14 - "No Farooq yet." "When it makes sense and I can add them to the line I would want to, lets leave this as this for now"
Hulk Hogan (nWo): 12/24/14 - "No NWO Hogan in 2015. Saving him for 2016. But I promise it will be worth the wait. Merry Christmas."
Macho man (WCW) 11/6/14 - "It's for an Elite in 2015 so no entrance jacket, but there are new parts and it is not a straight repaint."
Paige: 11/11/14 - "Got the Paige and Doink final protos today and they are phenomenal. Paige may be the best diva figure ever."
SDCC exclusives: 5/11/14 - "We do not sell figures at SDCC anymore."
S.H.I.E.L.D. (updated figs) 12/22/14 - "They are from a cancelled quickturn BAF series." <- on the leaked photos of "updated protos" "Better updated Elites of the former Shield are underway and will be better than these. "
Summer Rae: 7/31/14 - "Summer Rae will most likely be middle of 2015 at the earliest. We are presently working on tooling her figure."

HOF series made it to retail in 2014 even if it was supposed to be out in 2015.

I would love to see Barry Windham in 2015/2016. But I have the funniest feeling he'll go the way of Magnum TA.

Well there are going to be what 24-34 elites this year depending on what set started the year, to me E33 started the year, so with five more sets plus four HOF elites we have 34 elite figures to be made not including RSC exclusives (usually 3?) or any store exclusives
So my guesses not including E33
Seth Rollins - confirmed Dean Ambrose - confirmed Roman Reigns - confirmed Macho Man - confirmed John Cena Randy Orton Daniel Bryan Sheamus Stardust Ryback Miz Mizdow Dolph Ziggler Big Show Kofi Kingston Stephanie McMahon Triple H Luke Harper Eric Rowan Rey Mysterio Xavier Woods Big E Goldust Bray Wyatt
Realistically these are the guys who from the current roster could get new elites, I think the last 12 or 14 spots will be for flashback figures.

Shield solo attires confirmed Wyatt's solo attires Dust Brothers More Cena confirmed More Orton More Brock FB Jericho Windham WCW Savage confirmed Stephanie confirmed Summer Rae confirmed Scott Hall Updated Sheamus Lana confirmed More Daniel Bryan (you can never have enough) Some sort of Triple H (Evolution '14 gear/suit/Flashback) Surfer Sting Bo Dallas More RVD (can't get enough) Miz & Mizdow (may not be done until 2016; hopefully not) Eddie Guerrero confirmed APA/Acolytes + Office door confirmed
And maybe we can finally get that gear Kane started wearing nearly two years ago. Yeah, I doubt it, too.

I was working up something similar. If we consider E33 to be a 2015 set, and we expect six sets in 2015, that leaves E35-E38. So, four sets of six figures would give us 24 open Elite spots. I'm going to guess that six of those will be Flashbacks, so call it 18 open slots for the current roster. I'm thinking our time frame is Summer Slam 2014 to Wrestlemania 2015, so we've got a pretty good idea of the pool we're working with. Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns are three of the 18. That leaves 15. Stardust and Ziggler are no-brainers to me. That leaves 12. Orton, Miz, Mizdow, and Adam Rose all seem highly likely to me. That leaves 8. Cena is in E34, so I would eliminate him from your list. Sheamus, Ryback, and Big Show have had more or less the same look for years, and all three are notoriously slow sellers. I just don't see any reason why the MDT would feel compelled to give any one of them another figure in 2015 unless it's to put Ryback on a different body. Bryan was in E32 and has missed most of the time frame we're looking at due to his injury. I think he would really have to catch fire the next two months to get another Elite in 2015. Ditto for Rey Mysterio (even though his E32 figure was a Flashback). So that leaves us with the New Day, the (former) Wyatt Family, Steph, Triple H, and Goldust from you list with 8 spots to fill. i'm going to swap out Steph for Nikki Bella. If we're going by airtime and push, Nikki is clearly the top Diva, especially with AJ Lee possibly gone for awhile. I could see her getting the Elite treatment with her ball cap, jacket, and Diva belt. Steph can probably go in the basic line. That leaves 7. I don't know what to think of Wyatt, Harper, and Rowan. One one hand, they're obviously key players, and key players get multiple figures. On the other, their initial Elites really don't need to be updated. I'll hedge my bets here and say Wyatt gets another Elite in 2015, but Harper and Rowan don't. That leaves 6. i don't know that Triple H or Golddust need updated figures either, but again, I'm going to split the difference and give Golddust the nod. He's sold fairly well, and fans and the MDT will want as close to a perfect match with Stardust as possible. That leaves 5. The New Day is an enigma to me. They haven't gotten much of a push considering all the promo work that was done, and even if they do get a big push, I'm not sure they will get over. I think the MDT will give them a shot though. I'm going to sayvWoods and Kofi make the cut in 2015 while Big E slides to 2016. That leaves 3. I think the last three slots will be wildcards. I could see someone like Titus O'Neill getting in. Jason Kidd may have a pretty good shot as well, and then there's guys like Bo Dallas. I think I'll go with those three. For Basics that will appeal to Elite collectors, we know Summer Rae is coming. Mercury and Noble (as J&J Security) seem like slam dunks. I think the Bunny is highly likely too. Paul Heyman is another good candidate as a single carded or Battle Pack release. In the Diva category, I think we'll see an updated Naomi with updated versions of Caneron and Layla less likely, but still a possibility.

xavion2004Being dumb me I forgot about E34. So that would leave 24 spots open as you said. E33: Reigns, Rollins, Cesaro, Batista, X-Pac, Junkyard Dog E34: Cena, BNB, Paige, Rusev, Doink, Hogan So 24 open spots... New Shield members elites have been confirmed. Reigns, Ambrose, Rollins. Stephanie McMahon was accidentally confirmed via a Gentle Giant video, looks elite... 20 open spots... Cena has gotten two elites every year, Orton has yet to have an elite since E21 so he is WAY overdue 18 open spots... Ziggler, Stardust, Mizdow are fan favorites that have gotten good tv time 15 open spots... Miz, Sheamus and Big Show last elites were 24, 25 and 28, no way they each go 10 series without one... 12 open spots, four of which are guaranteed flashbacks since we at least get one flashback per wave since E12 and I am gonna guess we get two more flashbacks.. 6 open spots... Ryback, Goldust, The Wyatts, Bryan, Triple H, RVD are guys with recent elites. New Day have yet to have any elites... Guys like Bo Dallas and Adam Rose have yet to have basic yet so I do not think they make the cut... Plus We have Sting, who will probably get a modern elite based of off this past survivor series. So I think Sting slides into the last elite series of 2015, if not a flashback figure will take his place 5 open spots. I also think Bryan gets in late 2015... 4 open spots. Kofi always slips into the line each year somehow (E4, E9, E17, E27) 3 open spots... I am gonna gamble and say flashback goldust 2 open spots... Triple H somehow makes it in every year (E2, E7, Big Book, BAF, E23, E28) whether it be flashback or not 1 open spot... flashback So this past year 10 flashbacks made it in from the main line. My predicted list could have as many as 10 or as few as 8, but with the HOF series the flashback numbers will still be up a little. So my full list Ambrose Rollins Reigns Stephanie Cena Orton Ziggler Stardust Mizdow Miz Sheamus Big Show Bryan Kingston HHH (flashback or current) Goldust (flashback or current) Sting (current, if not this becomes a random flashback figure of somone else) So 7 flashbacks (APA, Macho Man confirmed) My predicted series... E35: Stardust, Orton, Ziggler, Miz, Flashback, Flashback E36: Mizdow, Sheamus, Goldust, Rollins, Flashback, Flashback E37: Ambrose, Reigns, HHH, Kingston, Flashback, Flashback E38: Cena, Bryan, Sting, Big Show, Stephanie, Flashback I am probably completely wrong but this is a very good educated guess.

So as of this schedule so far, I'll be getting Elite Paige, Elite Doink the Clown and *possibly* the Elite Rusev (which are all in the same series) and then eventually some form of Sting, but probably not Defining Moments.
Here's to hoping that we can eventually get Ambrose and Rollins in non-Shield gear... Maybe by the summer?

My predicted series... E35: Stardust, Orton, Ziggler, Miz, Flashback, Flashback E36: Mizdow, Sheamus, Goldust, Rollins, Flashback, Flashback E37: Ambrose, Reigns, HHH, Kingston, Flashback, Flashback E38: Cena, Bryan, Sting, Big Show, Stephanie, Flashback I am probably completely wrong but this is a very good educated guess. I'm starting to lean towards your way of thinking on Sheamus and Big Show. Sheamus was the U.S. Champion during the time frame we're looking at, and both of them were featured prominently throughout the year, at least until Sheamus got injured. That makes it pretty hard to ignore them. It just seems like such a waste though when E25 Sheamus and E28 Big Show are still readily available and neither have changed their look significantly since then. I'm still going to stand on the E34 Cena being the only Elite Cena we get this year, at least in the Elite line itself. The past three have been E23, E27, and E34, so that's five and six waves apart. I would definitely expect him anytime after Elite 38 though. I'm also going to stand by my Adam Rose prediction. He's not rising up the card, but he's getting plenty of airtime. As far as the Basic theory goes, we could easily see a basic version in Spring/Summer and an Elite version Summer/Fall. Also, with your predictions, we're only getting three "First Time in Line" figures (Rusev, Paige, Stephanie). Four if you count Stardust. That just seems awfully light. Then again, it's also a sad comment on the WWE's ability to develop fresh talent in 2014. Speaking of Stephanie, I'll agree with you there as well. She looks like she's got a lot of new tooling, and Nikki would work fine on the standard basic body. I also think you may be right about Sting and Triple H. They're both too good of sellers to pass up for an entire year. So basically, I'm going with your predictions except I would swap out the second E36 Flashback for Bo Dallas and the E38 Cena for Adam Rose: E34: Cena, Hogan, Barrett, Rusev, Paige, Doink E35: Stardust, Orton, Ziggler, Miz, Flashback, Flashback E36: Mizdow, Sheamus, Goldust, Rollins, Dallas, Flashback E37: Ambrose, Reigns, HHH, Kingston, Flashback, Flashback E38: Bryan, Sting, Big Show, Stephanie, Rose, Flashback That's a nice balance of main event, mid-card, and "First Time In Line" performers. The only one I'm starting to second guess is Kingston. The MDT may want to see if the New Day gimmick goes over before basically committing three Elite slots to them.

This thread is so sexy especially venomeratt's post. Keep up the predictions. Anyone wanna guess the potential flashbacks?
