Im personally disappointed in the line up but A) a disappointing line up to me could be the greatest line up ever to the next guy B) Im always happy to save money! My thoughts exactly. This also let's me go back and buy figures that I've missed in earlier lines

I must be in the minority but I'm really excited for this set. Jericho, Slater, Bliss and Miz are ones I'm particularly interested in.

I'm actually very happy about the set and I'll most likely get them all. I'd rather re create the current product, that's also where Mattel probably make most business with current guys. I've think we've got enough flashbacks recently, it's nice to have a full current set again. The only one I might pass on is Owens as I may get his first Elite instead. Alexa has the most excited . I might pass on Miz, it depends on the attire. I'm very excited for Jericho too, which could be a flashback also. I'd love a 2004/5 Jericho.

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. people never understand that just because it might "warm" in 1 area doesn't mean the figure is a failure. Personally the only flashbacks that I've seen sit on the shelves longer than a month are the Boogeyman and Tugboat. The rest I can't find and have to get off of Amazon. It's a never ending battle though as the people who can't grasp that their store isn't the be all end all will never see a valid point.

This is a forum were we should give our opinions. As a buyer of LJN's, Hasbro's, Galoobs, Jakks and now Mattel I am a clearly a great supporter, a fan, and have spent a small fortune. Please note this:
-If people like this line I am happy for them. -I wish that reciprocation would be for the many of us who like legends and flashbacks. -If people compliment bad lines so they don't have to spend money - well okay. That philosophy could be the demise of the lines we love and the reason we are on this forum. If I am the business producing the product I wouldn't be pleased with all of those statements and if the lines don't do well it jeopadizes potentially everything. -I don't need to be taught with my experience in buying figures for over 40 years that the current wrestlers will sell in mass better than unique, flasback, legend figures. Or NEW wrestlers. -So let's break down the figures:
Big E has been made as an elite 3 times prior to this one (including the 3 pack) with not that much difference then the now. (You can get him for 13 dollars on ebay) Kevin Owens has had 2 elites done pretty much the same in looks within the last 2 years. (You can get him for 13 dollars on e-bay) The Miz has had many many elites nothing new (from 4.95 up to buy an elite Miz on ebay) Alexa Bliss they have made recently (14.99 you can buy on ebay) Jerico is the only one with a new look and gimmick that would potetnially warrant a NEW figure Heath Slater is a jobber with elites already made. Nothing exciting about him as a wrestler a figure and that would be like making the Brooklyn Brawler over and over and over and Brrokly Brawler at least has a better look.
So what if they had a few of the new guys that have been featured on WWE for quite some time: The Hardy's (New)? Kurt Angle new? Goldberg new? JInder? Booby Rhoode? Jack Gallagher? Bryan Kendrick? Would all be NEW Current Elites! Mix with the old legends and flashbacks and put some of these guys in like the Miz and Jerico and you please more people in MY OPINION!

Other than Ms Bliss, this isn't that great of a set.

Have all those figs. And paid under retail for all. Sorry

I'm skeptical of your purchase. Is that why the newest basic Kane is going for more than most current elites? Aren't we talking about elites? Check Amazon brother. Check any sale RSC has

I'm happy to see a lineup without 2-3 flashbacks in it. I'll have to see the figures before I decide on getting any of these though, as they're pretty much all attire dependent. I wish we could've seen an updated Bray in here

Yea, Alexa and Jericho are the only ones that interest me in this wave, I dont mind though because I have been out a lot of money with recent waves and ofcourse the DM's. That new Macho stung me for £27.99 over here in the UK!

I'm going to be purchasing all but Big E, and maybe Jericho depending on attire, from this set. Excited for Miz, Slater, Alexa, and a Prizefighter KO.

I feel the same as a few others about this set. Although, I'm narrowing my collection to WCW guys, none of these figures interest me so I'm just happy overall to save some $$$

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 We're not talking about the UK, we're talking about the US here. I can't remember the last time I heard someone from the UK say they were having a tough time finding ANY releases (outside of exclusives obviously) for a while now. The UK distribution has been pretty spot on, while ours has been crapty for well over a year now. And as I've pointed out numerous times before. The only guys on the current roster that don't have figures right NOW either will be getting them soon, or don't deserve them. Just like the "sky is falling cuz of no Legends" people, the "new guys are underrepresented" people need to clam up too. I swear to God, Vince is spot on. Wrestling fans really do have horrible memories and no ability to do a little research.

I ordered 3 figures so far. So it's a winning set in my book.

Um, I don't see a championship belt in the Alexa Bliss picture. That would be disappointing.

Alexa for sure, then Owens, Slater and Miz. I'm unsure if I wanna get these New Day figures, would've preferred a pink attire but I do like this one. Love Big E's scan. Don't need Jericho as I'm gonna grab the List figure
