Thanks for posting all this info! Not much there for legends collectors though. And I’m not crazy about the direction they’re taking with the retro line, really was hoping for legends like Studd, Diesel and Mabel, guys that never got a Hasbro fig.

I’ll gladly take the good with the bad in these lineups. Less to spend money on. I’m gonna have to pick up a Cactus Jack to go along with Mankind if I’m gonna get Dude Love. I’m most excited for Edge in the SummerSlam line.

There's a disturbing lack of flashbacks in the Elite, Basic, and Retro lines - and most of the *few* flashbacks in the retro line are re-releases...where is razor, diesel, 90s hbk, bret hart, jake the snake, m$m, mr perfect, bossman, legion of doom, etc.

Snoozefest waves. Mattel is killing the main lines with only one potential flashback every other wave. Lame.

We always get one of those “promo battle play sets” every year, right?

it, I'd buy the SD ring to get a current Jinder, plus the ring is breakable so it's not like it's the exact same ring

Not enough flashbacks in the pipeline

While it sucks we aren't getting many Flashbacks in the Elite line, it's not like Flashbacks are dead or anything. I think we'll just see most Flashbacks as store exclusives such as HOC, Flashback Elite, Ringside Exclusives, Gamestop exclusives, and Network Spotlight exclusives, if that line is even continuing. I really hope we get a WCW Elite Goldberg sometime this year probably as a Ringside Exclusive.
I do think it's annoying though that we aren't getting Flashbacks in favor of figures we don't need more of such as The New Day. Especially with the lack of new talent as Elites such as NXT guys and the 205 Live guys. How do we still not have an Elite Brian Kendrick or Cedric Alexander? Not to mention there aren't even any Elite or basic figures of Gran Metalik, Tony Nese, Drew Gulak, Ariya Davari, Noam Dar, Lince Dorado, or Mustafa Ali.
Then for NXT Elites we still need Aleister Black, Drew McIntyre, Adam Cole, Eric Young, an updated Andrade "Cien" Almas, Roderick Strong, Johnny Gargano, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, Kassius Ohno, Killian Dian, Alexander Wolfe, Tommaso Ciampa, & Velveteen Dream. I know most of these will probably be released in the NXT Elite line, but that would take over 3 sets before all of these guys got figures if that line is the only one to release NXT Elites in. Thats of course without any NXT Flashbacks like an NXT era Dean Ambrose, Corey Graves, or Big E.

Not enough flashbacks in the pipeline Like the previous poster, I think most flashbacks will be store exclusives. At least that is what I have heard on other posts. You have Hall of Champions, Walmart Flashbacks like the recent Build-a-set line as well as the build-a-figure line, TRUs exclusives, etc. So most of the flashback figures are going to be there instead of the regular basic and elite lines. Kind of sucks but as long as we will still get flashbacks, I'm happy.

New tooling for most of those guys is money down the drain compared to just throwing a new lick of paint on a Finn Balor or Kofi Kingston. I have high hopes for the zombie Matt Hardy.

I'd love yellow tights WM2 Andre, suited Andre from 1987, and Giant Machine. Give me all 3!

Imagine that Summerslam Elite Series winds up being Matt and Jeff, Edge and Christian, and D-Von, with a hopefully added Bubba Ray, all from TLC 1 Summerslam 2000

So reflecting the current product hasn't entirely been the name of the game since Elite 12.
