Would it have been crazy to have Xavier and Big E be two per case instead of Roman and Daniel for elite 79? Is Kofi warming on the shelf? If Kofi sells well, there will be twice as many people looking to complete the New Day.

Hopefully Taker/Jeff is based on the ladder match from 2002.

If Kofi sells well, there will be twice as many people looking to complete the New Day. i will sell Xavier and keep the title TBH. No need of another Kofi or Big E.

Hmmm...
Well, the new 2-packs seem interesting enough. Although, I do wonder - with the championship nature being the selling point, will these come with Elite style belts? Also, those new double sided plates sound like a return to having figure stands included. Perhaps they are double sided with one side each showing one of the figures in the set, so you can display whichever "champion" figure you want with them.
I'm intrigued by the Sasha/Alexa one, but I don't really need it. I already have an Elite Alexa plus the Middle East Battle Pack of them. When the new Elite Sasha comes out I'll have her too. I really have no need for a third one of either of them unless it's something really really special.
BTW: I'm looking at the elite case breakdowns, and I have to ask Mattel...
Why on earth is it that all of the figures that people actually, ya know, WANT are 1x per case? Io, Stunning Steve, Undisputed Era, Bianca, Street Profits, Viking Raiders... every single one of these figures are ones that people actually want. And yet, they all appear to be single packed. It's so friggin frustrating because, as I've said in other posts, a superstar's first Elite figure almost always seems to be their best and most of those are those character's first Elites, or even FTiL!
I just... I don't get some of these choices. Viking Raiders are extremely toyetic. They're gonna sell out long before either of the KO figures in that set. (And I adore Kevin. Still true.)

Same. Guaranteed purchase. This all day. What is the thinking behind this? They could've cemented this line (if it's not a one-off set) with Austin/HBK WM14, Undertaker/Mankind Buried Alive and Rock/Hogan WMX8. Huge missed opportunity. Gotta agree with all of this. Super weak line up based on the concept At the very least they could have given us "THE GREATEST MATCH EVER" figures. I know it wasn't for a title, but that Edge/Orton match was at the very least somewhat memorable. I personally remember it well... all that grunting AND a legit injury as a free bonus gift!
But yeah, there's zero reason for Alexa/Sasha to be the pick. If you're gonna go with a women's championship 2 pack, go for the NXT IronWoman match. I can't remember if they made those figures yet or not, but it'd still be better than Alexa/Sasha.

Putting Nakamura 2 per case in a set that also includes Steve Austin, Stunning or not, is incredibly stupid Not if Nakamura comes with the new Intercontinental Championship. The unfortunate reality is that in some areas, people will steal the title out of the package, and Nakamura will hang there even longer than he normally does since the belt is missing.

If Kofi sells well, there will be twice as many people looking to complete the New Day. I was thinking the exact same thing. There is going to be an extra Kofi for every Woods and Big E. It just doesn't make sense. They might as well put demolition in an upcoming Legends line and make only one 2 per case.
