Not a ton of must get stuff. Tozawa, Elias, AoP Elites, maybe the Fashion Police Elites... but lots of stuff that's an easy pass.
My wallet will appreciate it!

Dang I was hoping Mabel, Alundra, Razor and RVD might be the Summerslam figures. Hopefully, maybe they are the next Walmart flashbacks. Don't see Paul Bearer on that list either and with Dude Love being moved somewhere else not sure we will get him now! That would be cool though if they could slide Bearer into Enzo's E62 slot.

Wow, 2018 looks amazing. Stoked about flashback Kurt and the new Smackdown ring. Hoping they fix the post height. Would be nice if they included corrected Raw posts, too. I'm a little bummed I didn't see elite Seth. I want his current attire. His ppv attires are ugly. I asked bill on twitter if we get Seth in that attire he has worn for ages and he said it’s similar to the TNF one and he prefers his attires to be different like WM33 summerslam 2016 ETC.

Definitely getting Dude, FB Angle (If it's a bald one), SummerSlam Hardy and Edge, Fashion Police, EG Roode will be a day one preorder for sure. I wonder if we'll see any of these guys if not most of them at Toyfair? bill said he is at Vegas con so probably see most in Vegas

Geeked for Elite Elias, Fashion Police, and Authors of Pain. Some dull stuff otherwise. Probably won't be buying my first full set since E22 staring with E60.

really sad asuka got replaced. They might have replaced Asuka because of the weak overall sales of her first elite and the new NXT elite.

It's almost as if the point of these line-ups is to provide figures that reflect the current product. Many of the best received and purchased figures have been flashbacks. So reflecting the current product hasn't entirely been the name of the game since Elite 12. That's just not even remotely true. Flashbacks constantly collect dust on the shelves of every store in a 40 mile radius of me, and I live 20 miles away from Greensboro.

Black is a hard figure to fit into a line, he wont have a ton of accessories but I imagine his tattoos would cost a bit in the budget Id say they put em in the EG line and include the sick entrance thing he's got.

205 Live is a joke of a show. 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. 205 Live provides consistently good wrestling on a weekly basis. What makes it a joke? Because you don't watch it? Almost nobody watches it, at least before Enzo was there. With the new GM and some focus to the show, it may become more than a joke, but as it stands, that roster is not even as well-known as the NXT guys.

I agree that 205 Live is a joke of a show, but some of those guys I mentioned have had enough tv time to warrant a figure, even if it’s a basic. Cedric Alexander & Brian Kendrick have had just as much tv time as a Rich Swan or Jack Gallagher, who as of now neither have proved to be bad sellers. Even TJP didn’t sell as bad as people thought he would. I’m sure all would sell more than a No Way Jose.

Sweet! I’m down for a Duggan and jake with new heads, and I want the nation of domination Mark Henry. Now I know I can pass on the sexual chocolate version. I’ll get the e12 Kane rerelease also. I have to wait and see on the Jericho. I’ll get Bobby heenan and maybe rock (just for the shirt) and hart (just for the king of the ring accessories). Unfortunately probably a pass on the big show Of course Simmons just for the belt

Hopefully Aleister Black replaces Enzo in the Elite line.

YES! E12 Kane re-release!!
I'm buying that Jericho if it's from the Attitude Era, and I'm praying that Big Show is from the mid 2000s.

Almost all of these were originally shared by @showcase_collector on Instagram, although give credit to Dfreedom30 (@dfreedom30 on Instagram) for combining everything into one post. I don't know where the Heartbreak Hotel Build-A-Set or NXT Elite Series names came from, but they seem reasonable enough. There's a good chance that many of the Walmart Flashback Basic and Elite names have changed (which would explain so many of the names listed under 'Other'). Even though the lineups look official, keep in mind that a good chunk of these are still unconfirmed.
