I just copy and pasted the interesting ones.
Q-"Are there any plans for another Warrior to be made like that USA Outfit Warrior?"
A-"Yep, one per year. This year's is pretty awesome."
Q-"Flashback Johnny Ace?"
A-"It definitely helps his chances, though to be brutally honest they're not super high as a flashback figure."
Q-"When will Andre and Rockers be back in stock?"
A-"Funny you should ask, they just may be coming back soon. Check this coming week.."
Q-"Will we be seeing any SDCC Exclusives this year? also will you guys be showing any new legend flashbacks from the 80's or 90's that havent been announced yet at SDCC??"
A-"Thanks for the comments. We will indeed be at SDCC this year and will be debuting several new figures. We will also have another exclusive Rumbler giveaway similar to last year. Stay tuned on that"
Q-"Name Displays! They have been missing from the packaging for a couple of series and many peoples collections feel incomplete without them"
A-"we're working on making those available as downloads so you can print up a name card for any and every superstar we've released. Hope that cheers you up a bit."
Q-"Was just wondering if you have any unannounced early/mid 80s love planned for Flashbacks?"
A-"We're on a moratorium of announcements until Comic-Con when we can blow you away with all the cool stuff we have on the way."
Q-"In Elite 16 the sets went up to 7 figures with Kevin Nash/Diesel in every other asst. That move could definitely be very good on getting more flashbacks/undercard stars out this way we can get more of the niche gimmick stars that would make awesome looking figures"
A-"Yeah the two different Kevin Nash thing is definitely a way for us to get more variety in the line, but unfortunately it only works when we do two versions of the same guy (with the same or mostly the same tooling). So we wouldn't be able to do a completely new character as the 7th slot in a series, but we're happy to do alternate versions of a Legend in the 7th slot when it makes sense.But not for Mick Foley - each of his personas deserves its own place in the spotlight!"
Q-"Does wwe give you guys a heads up when a fcw star is about to debut in in the main roster? i think im more excited for the future Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno, Seth rollins, Richie Steamboat figures than any one in the main roster"
A-"WWE doesn't give us much of a heads up about their plans because, to be honest, they don't plan very far ahead. But we have our finger on the pulse and have at least one of the guys you mentioned in our plans for 2013"
Q-"WWE Masked Kane 2012 Figure"
A-"We started working on it the second he appeared on TV - it just takes a while. Look for the modern Masked Kane to appear in our various lines later this year"
Q-"Are you guys working on Anvil or is he planned to be made?"
A-"He's on our list. It's a long list though."
Q-"nwo Randy savage.....will he be in a legends packaging or a elite flashback packaging? personally o would prefer the second one"
A-"Your wish is granted"
Q-"What are the chances of seeing a Wrestlemania 28 PPV series(Short hair Taker, Jericho, Cena, Kane, Rock)?"
A-"The chances are 100% (though not necessarily with the exact talent you mention). It's a TRU exclusive line that will show up later this year (we are busting our butts to get them done as quickly as possible).
There will be 4 basics (with build-a-set pieces), 4 Elites (with build-a-figure pieces) plus 1 additional Elite figure that has a bit of new tooling (hint hint) that will be advertised in their "Big Toy Book"
Q-"1st it was entrance greats, then defining Moments. whats going to be the next Super Elite line out?"
A-"Unfortunately, we don't have plans for another. Both of those lines ended up not selling through"
Q-"1. Seems that we're getting two flashbacks in each even numbered elite series and one in the odd. Is that a coincidence or a pattern you all plan to continue?
2. With Elite 14 out in stores now and three sets of flashbacks released, does this format seem to be more successful in terms of getting legends out to us? I know that's been a question/challenge that you all said you were trying to pin down."
A-"1) Coincidence-ish. Not necessarily a pattern we're going to continue.
2) Still TBD but we're hopeful. We REALLY want Legends to work."
Q-"Why ABA Taker?"
A-"We did do a more classic Undertaker as an Entrance Greats figure in 2010 so this was the next one on our list. But no fear, there will be more"
Q-" have you thought about a elite scale ring 18 by 18 ring"
A-"another Elite Scale Ring is not in the cards for the foreseeable future"
Q-"is there anyway that distribution can be changed from the michael cole wave to include an even number of all figures in the wave per case? "
A-"Yes, we have adjusted the distribution for the next wave so that every case pack will have all 4 figures (meaning if a store gets any of the figures it will get all 4). However it won't necessarily be evenly weighted. Some guys just sell better than others so we need to make more of them."

?
Fingers crossed the Wm28 set doesn't have Punk, Orton or Cena(although i don't like our chances of not getting at least one of those). I'd imagine Taker and Rock will be in there though.
