God knows what color Cena will be wearing by Wrestlemania 28 though....he first wore red at Wrestlemania 27, and I doubt he's going to make it to Wrestlemania 28 still wearing red. Mattel says WWE gives them NO advanced word of new characters or attire changes, which is why EVERY Elite Cena has been outdated so far. When Elite 3 came out in blue, Cena was wearing orange. When Elite 7 came out in orange, Cena was wearing purple. Elite 11 isn't even in stores yet and Cena is already done with purple and has moved on to Red 4 MONTHS AGO! At least if the Wrestlemania Elite figures come out in the next month and Cena is in red it will be current for a little while, but by the actual event, probably won't still be wearing red. I'm not saying the figures will be BASED off of Wrestlemania 28. I just said Mattel and WWE have both mentioned promoting it. I was saying if the Elite Rock is from the Road to Wrestlemania 27, then a figure that would make sense as well as dollars to sell along side it would be an Elite Cena.

That Rock figure is definately going to get customized ;D Man I want 4 of them! 1 to keep as is, 1 to take to WM 28 and try to get signed (if not keep as MOC) and 2 to make customs. This figure of The Rock is totally new and his first current figure since like 2003.......let the MAN HUNT begin, because trust me guys, this is going to get UGLY between us and the Chumlee's. I'm pretty sure all or most of the Chumlees are actually members here. Haha! Love that the Chumlee thing has caught on! I agree Rock is def gonna be a tough find, especially being a TRU exclusive. I hope RS can get some in stock like they did with the AllStars 2 packs. I really hate having to ck TRU like everyday to get a figure now. Damn CHUMLEES

I don't think the figure of The Rock will be a shelf warmer....I think we could be in for a Basic 7 Sheamus/Elite 11 CM Punk type situation where these are being listed for at least $50 on the internet initially. The previous Elite AND Basic Wrestlemania figures were nothing but repaints with less cool accessories, except for Swagger's briefcase. This figure of The Rock is totally new and his first current figure since like 2003.......let the MAN HUNT begin, because trust me guys, this is going to get UGLY between us and the Chumlee's. Loving the Chumlee mention. Am I the only one that wouldn't be surprised if the other Elite figure is Cena?The WWE and Mattel have both talked about how they are really gearing up to promote WM 28, which is main evented by Rock vs Cena. Plus it could be in Cena's new gear. No, I would actually be shocked if Cena wasn't in the Elite set wearing red. Which is fine by me because it opens up a spot in the regular Elite line for someone else.

Plus, with Purple Cena being released in Elite 11 at the same time, there wouldn't be a big concern for people bitching more about the figure being "outdated".

I thought these were Wrestlemania 27 figures, not road to Wrestlemania 27.....which means if there is an Elite Cena in the series do you think it will just be a repaint off his Elite 11 purple attire? Cena didn't wear red until the actual night of Wrestlemania 27. If there is an Elite Cena I'm worried it might be a purple repaint because Rock calling John Cena a bowl of fruity pebbles shot out of Barney the Dinosaur's anus and Cena wearing purple was a huge part of their verbal wars leading up to Wrestlemania 27. Either way, I would like it if we could get a red Cena before he stops wearing red....but I'm not holding my breath.

yeah i wouldnt expect any of these honestly til prob late next month. We havent even receive any sort of word on what th official line up is going too be besides an updated Rock so idk, i expect in the next few weeks we gonna get word of the line up somehow, someway, someone will find out, then prob about 2 weeks after that maybe even 3 weeks we will see them on shelves. I really expect it too be a good month before the most up too date store receives them and well, my store prob wont get them in til late oct

Red Elite Cena will come out in a regular Elite series, they wouldn't waste it on this Exclusive TRU line. By the time Cena changed to Purple, the Orange still sold well so the Red is coming even if Cena changed colors again.
My guess for the Elites along with Rock would be Rey Mysterio, John Morrison & Randy Orton.

I don't understand why somebody from mattel can't just tell us the lineups.

It would be cool to see a elite Cm Punk and Miz, but they already are out in elite 11

It would be cool to see a elite Cm Punk and Miz, but they already are out in elite 11 Swagger and Mysterio were in Elite 5, which came out around the same time as WM26 figs, so it's possible.
