finally some PICS!! They look awesome, can't wait for these to hit the UK - I just hope they are easier to grab in stores over here. Defo will grab The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes.
I think I'm going need to get some overtime done at this rate

I'm 35, been collecting since 1989. I was 4 when I got my first figures and have been collecting ever since. I got into WWF as it was then and my parents brought me a few for my 4th birthday and a wrestling ring (the old Hasbro one - which I still have).
It started my life long hobby, my parents thought I would grow out of it as I got older but as I did I became more of fan of the product as I started to get invested in the characters and storylines and it just grow from there and still to this day I get figures for birthday and Christmas from family. I used to play with them as kid but stopped a lone time ago and now display them proudly in my house I have figures all the way from the 80's to Mattel Elite 75 in my collection. I love collecting, I love the hunt/chase because when I finally get hold of that figure I've bene after for so long, it feels great and I am sure most people on here will agree.
Hope that helps

Can't wait to see more form tomorrow

This is an interesting choice to me. In my opinion there are much better suited people/attires for this set. I guess they may continue to make them but I have to say also in my local Smyths there are more Ultimate Edition then anything else Rowsey, Nakaruma and Bret Hart so this is set really selling well?
This set should be about the most elaborate attires/entrance gear - for example I would have preferred Charlotte from Wrestlemania 35 (that was a beautiful entrance gear), Asuka has had so pretty cool gear as well I would to see in the line. Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, The Undertaker and Edge should all make it in this line if it does continue.

I will get Christian, Lacy and Heavy Machinery from this set. I think Cena or Lacy might be the Chase in this set.
Does anyone have any idea what the Target/Walmart exclusive is for E76? I've seen Blassie be mentioned but not 100% sure if that's this set.

They look however I prefer the first Dunne figure with the red attire, so can pass on Dunne. I defo want to grab a Rose, Kalisto and Hurricane from this set.

That's a great looking figure. I don't normally collect basics but I'm thinking I must have this. Excellent job! Also, looking at how great this basic has turned out I am even more excited for the elite.

I'm surprised that with E75 already in stores these are not up for pre-order or that we haven't even seen any proto pics yet.

I could easily see Edge return being made into Ultimate or even on in the main elite line. He is most certainly a huge want for many of us and I'm sure Mattel are on the case by Monday morning.

I'm in the UK and haven't seen anything. I only look on ebay for the Walmart and target exclusives and I haven't seen Ohno, Royce, The Anvil or Billie Kay yet. I do check every few days

When I first saw the thread I thought, that’s easy. But, now it’s open and I am remembering some of awesome figures we’ve had this year it’s actually really hard! I will go for: E64 Pete Dunne Slim Jim Macho Man Randy Savage E67 Jeff Hardy
But I must make honourable mentions to: E67 Velveteen Dream, E73 Kairi Sane, E68 King Mable, E66 Eric Young and E69 Miz

I can’t think that I’ve seen or heard of any to be honest. We have all seen E75 be put up here but I’m guessing E76 and E77 will follow in the new year

I have a different feel with them. As I’m from the UK we don’t get them anyway, they are always double in price for us due to the only place we can get them is EBay 95% of the time and I’m not really complaining as such I guess I’m saying that’s just the way it is. When I have a little spare cash I will get some from eBay - we also have to pay loads fo shipping and imports which is annoying. I just wish some places here in the UK would stock them but I totally get that defeats the object of being “exclusives”.

I would say the hall of fame one, I’m not sure what series it was now but for me that is by far the best looking edge figure. I’m hoping we get a newer one in 2020 from his last mania match against del Rio in the Orange. That was sweet attire

As 2019 draws to a close I thought I would have a little fun and find out who everyone thinks will be the hottest releases of 2020 by mattel in the elite line. I’m trying to get away from a “wish list” we all have one of those but I am thinking about the figures we already know are coming in 2020 and what do you think will be the top 5 selling elites of 2020? Here is what I think it will look like this time next year: 1 - Chyna 2 - “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt 3 - Matt Riddle 4 - Keith Lee 5 - The Viking Raiders

For me I would be interested in Kalisto, Rose and Hurricane for definitely. I would like to see what attire Hardy will have first. I do agree with most people tho and I will say Pete Dunn last elite was a better looking figure
