And seriously everyone.
If this set is this hot to the online community, who are apparently a minute percentage, can you imagine what the response will be at retail when these sets hit?
3 figures will be .5 per case.
Utter madness will ensue from the scalpers on this one.

Would love if legends made a comeback. Either rsc excl. Or retail. Looks like the market is there for the right characters.
Please mattel, make scott hall for the nwo enthusiasts. And razor ramon , if diesel sells out this quick, imagine razor? If not the same then better i imagine

I wish they had made nWo Nash in his black/red attire. Never was a fan of the red, and we already got Jakks RA and DA figs of that.
And I hope the Diesel is the grey top, but probably won't be.
With 2.5 Rocks per case, I hope he sells well at retail. He better.

Wow, I leave the house for a few hours last night and this is what I miss! Ha! A couple points/questions: 1. I see that Nash/Diesel is up to $40 now. Just curious, what did those first go up for? I'm really glad that when I got home late last night I picked up Punk and Rock when they were still on the pre-order, and then right before I went to bed decided to do Nash/Diesel for $30 each on back-order on a whim, not thinking that it would go up that much in a few hours ... kinda lucked out there. 2. The overall set is a bit confusing to me. I know some people on here want Elites of every character possible, and I respect that ... that said, I don't love the selection. Diesel/Nash, Punk and Rock are great (if someone's going to get a million figs, I'd rather it be Rock than Orton) ... and then the other 3 (Slater, Zeke, Orton) are blah. Personally I'd rather see more star-heavy sets with Elites (like E14) with two flashbacks if possible. We get so many basic figures (I'm not a big basic guy) and so few Elites, I hate seeing those Elite spots taken by jobbers like Slater and Zeke. 3. I really like that they're doing a Diesel repaint as an NWO Nash ... that's a great way moving forward to get more flashbacks through repaints: I hate when Mattel has 2 of basically the same guy in the same series. They gave Kevin Nash the Kerry Von Erich treatment. I rather have had Diesel and Studd(to go with bundy). I look at it the same way as I viewed Legends S6... although we're getting 2 versions of the same guy, we're getting an extra figure in the series - eg. 2 versions of 1 guy (and 7 figures) is better than just the 1 version (and 6 figures). As those two jobbers said before Ryback squashed them at the PPV the other night, "Two is better than one!" Lol. More the merrier. 4. We all know how/why the Legends line failed, but when you see top Legends/Flashback figs like Yokozuna and Diesel/Nash sell out in seemingly minutes, I really do think they Legends could be resurrected as a RSC-only line or something like that. I know the runs are much more limited (especially when they're one every other case, in this set at least) ... but there is a very strong demand there, again, when they're selling out in minutes. (A guy can wish, can't he?) Mark

1. I see that Nash/Diesel is up to $40 now. Just curious, what did those first go up for? When they first went up, both Nash figures were $35 a piece. When they were put on back-order, they went down to $29; now they're up to $40

I was asleep at the wheel on this and didn't see this until this afternoon. I'm sick of retail so I ended up ordering the whole set along with Exc Bret and NWO Macho. With three of these being .5 It was a no brainer for me to order them all. Will have to wait a month later than some, but I'm fine with that since I may never find them around retail here.

Legends need to make a comeback their is an obvious market for them. They are on fire on RSC! Put Legends series 7 on RSC!

I wish Nash was like this: Now we will probably never get a current Nash with full tattoo arm sleeve because he said on twitter he wants to comeback to WWE but they seem to have no interest in using him again, so it looks like he's done.

Ugh, I wanted Slater so much too!!!Why not Orton .5 per case ...at least Orton is only 1 per-case - I thought he was bound to be 2 or 3, lol. Would love if legends made a comeback. Either rsc excl. Or retail. Looks like the market is there for the right characters. Please mattel, make scott hall for the nwo enthusiasts. And razor ramon , if diesel sells out this quick, imagine razor? If not the same then better i imagine Totally agree... haven't Mattel said they can't make Razor/Scott Hall though?

Peopl are saying "3 figures ar .5 per case..." I know of Nash and Diesel. Who is the other figure you're referring to? Please say Randy Orton.
