I don't mind, I only collect current guys.
Slater will be mine!

Blah? This set is fantastic! Miz is THE BEST HEEL in years. He literally gets anyone over, opponent and ally. Slater is a great jobber, has been around forever and hasn't had an elite in years. I still am holding out hope that he gets a Honky Tonk Man-like run as the IC champion. Bliss isn't the best in the ring, but she's the best talker with the most charisma among the ladies. Jericho, a throwback wrestler who can get over in any era as both a heel and villain; he should be on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling. Big E and Owens are huge stars, but they're a little disappointing only because they've both had several recent elites.
Actually, I'm not surprised people aren't liking this set because nobody here actually seems to enjoy wrestling. All I hear is that "X era in the past was soooo much better" and "I only like flashback toys."

For me, all 6 could be must-buys depending on attires. I feel the exact same way. I'm just glad no Cena or Reigns, they're honestly the only current roster guys I'm just flat-out sick of. Slater will be must buy for me.

Well most flashbacks now a days warm shelves and go down in price drastically on Amazon and ringside. I bought Brutus on Facebook the other day for $8 shipped 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh really? Ok cool...go out and grab me the Nastys, Harlem Heat, Magnum, Luger, Regal, Attitude Boss Man, Tatanka, Goldust, Pillman, and Cactus Jack right now from a store near you and I'll Paypal you the money. 1) Amazon is not the same as brick and mortar 2) Just because a figure didn't sell well in one store, in one town, in one city, in one state doesn't mean it's a pegwarmer. With the exception of Goldie and cactus jack none of them sold well nationwide in the UK...all of them have recently been reduced to 3 pound each because they are that overproduced! And I'm pretty sure I could nip out tomorrow and pick up Harlem heat, regal, luger, bossman, pillman and especially magnum, And every UK guy would agree with me...sorry bud but the flashbacks are the weak link in the elite line! And don't get me wrong I want them in but they need their own line and to stop taking spots from current guys

Nothing excites me for this set in particular, but that's fine. There are other sets n figures I want, so being able to chill on an entire set here and there is welcome

E53 will probably be the first official (new packaging) Elite set of 2018 too - so maybe they've come up with a new/different way of putting out Flashback and Legend-type figures?

Easy pass for me, too. Sorry KO does NOT need another figure already. He has a bunch of recent Elites, and they all look the same. Heath Slater doesn't need an Elite period. Horrible line-up that will probably warm for awhile. If they choose his red PrizeFighter attire or the Kevin Owens Show attire, it'll definitely look a little different. Him and Jericho are probably they only two I'm gonna get from this set.

Definitely Slater. Should have the other SD Live tag title Hopefully Owens is an elite of b73 with IC or US title.
Ill get Bliss if it has the pigtails/harley quinn look.
Curious to what attire Jericho and Big E are, but hopefully boring so I can save some money.
Got the Miz Maryse pack so Im good on him

And Jericho is more than likely going to be a repainted of the RSC/GameStop elite

There have been too many flashack guys in the elite line lately - I get 'em all, but seems there have been 2-3 in almost every series lately. Nice to give one or two sets a year to keeping the current roster updated.

Owens with "Raw is Owens" shirt and Universal title is an instant but for me. Very curious to see how Jericho turns out. Seeing as we just got both a 01 Flahsback and 2017 List Jericho

Not interested in the set outside of Alexa Bliss.

I told people I had a sinking feeling we'd start seeing less Flashback figures in the future. Hopefully this isn't coming to fruition (I have my doubts) I'll probably get Owens if they give him kickers and Elite Alexa.
