Ringside posted a walk though on youtube
Bill said that is all the retros for the year, only 12 figures for the year is very disappointing.

Here's today's "scoop"
- AOP will be in a future Elite Series
- Paul Ellering is a Walmart Flashback BAF
- There is a 'strategy' for releasing SAnitY. All four will not be released in the same wave, but will be released close to each other. Just because we saw Killian Dain, don't assume he will be the first one released.
- The Jinder Mahal ring combo will go forward as planned. They are trying to get it into a brick and mortar store since TRU is done.
- They were hoping to have an announcement this weekend as to where the Fan Central line would end up, but not yet.

Lets make the Entrance Stage a thing!!! #EliteSquad #EnterTheStage I'm interested in the logistics of that stage. It appears as if there is a projector behind it. I wonder how that would work with mass release? It is, probably, a little too big. I wonder if they would scale it down for mass retail. I love it as is though; I would pay a great deal of money for that.

Not really. The theme is from mid 80s when it was the NWA/Crockett before turning into WCW at the end of '88. Yeah, nothing says mid 80s NWA to me like Booker T and dark haired Surfer Sting. We could go back and forth on this but whatever. To me, I see that set and I see two figures that easily stand out (and the only two that I care about getting) -- Flair in a suit and J.J. Dillon -- and the purpose of the set is to create Dillon. To me, that screams NWA. All good, man, not trying to bicker. Just that I got why Bill said that.

Great info. Thanks for sharing. Ellering as a baf is great news. Breaking up Sanity across multiple waves makes sense - sounds like those may be a part of waves 4 and 5.

I don't see them doing that stage for less than $200, but if Hasbro got people to pay $500 the sail barge, I guess anything's possible.

I love it as is though; I would pay a great deal of money for that. That would be sweet if you could download videos and themes and the thing plugged into an outlet instead of using batteries, so you could have Candice Michelle's theme playing 24/7.

What’s happening with the Angle, HBK, Jericho, Undertaker v.2 retros then? Plus wasn’t there a big show and Randy Orton on the back of the retro ring box?

Awesome day at axxess this morning. Red Rooster and Shark are getting new homes, since TRU is gone. JJ Dillon will have sunglasses. The BAF for the Harley Race/Austin/Jake/TBA set is a suited figure, not a background display like the previous set with Heartbreak Hotel. Billy Graham is still under contract and is up for consideration for a figure but nothing concrete.
Not sure how much else I can say but the line has a great future, and is in great hands. Steve, Bill, and everyone else at Mattel, are truly doing the best possible work for the line. Awesome stuff still to come this year.
Keep using #wweelitesquad to push for the stage and crowd on display at axxess to be released!

Bill said that is all the retros for the year, only 12 figures for the year is very disappointing. "You can see, basically, the end of the year product line in this case." That was the exact quote. I do think Mattel had more plans for the Retros this year, but for whatever reason there were delays in the expected release date of Series 4 which I think affected any future waves for 2018. Also, depending on whether or not Mattel considers the first Retro App wave (Series 3) a part of 2018, then it could be as many as 16 figures in 2018. What’s happening with the Angle, HBK, Jericho, Undertaker v.2 retros then? Plus wasn’t there a big show and Randy Orton on the back of the retro ring box? Big Show was an unsubstantiated rumor. Orton and the others must have gotten bumped for now, but I hope we see them as soon as humanly possible.

The King Harley Race figure looks amazing! Glad JJ Dillon is getting a figure.
