Went ahead and pre-ordered Natalya, retail stores around me are clogged with Sig series 2 and Survivor series heritage and I don't have to worry about wasting time and gas looking for her.

everyone needs to realize that Mattel wants to have certain guys in stores at all time. can't blame them for that. us as collectors may not like it, but it is what it is. i will save my money, I don't want any of these. The whole set is an easy pass for me.

Should have Punk instead of Cena. I'll just pick up Natalya and Yoshi at retail. I think Jack Swagger would have been the best to represent USA.

Hopefully since it'll be one of the earlier camo Cenas and and Rey will be back on tv by the time this hits retail, they'll sell better than they have been the past year or so.
Too bad we didn't get Orton (x5) for lulz.

this Cena and Rey epidemic is getting out of control, I feel like there is at least 1 of them if not both in every series this year, i thought Mattel were going to control this knowing what they know about the Randy Orton elite 12 figure and how poorly these 'popular' superstars sell.
very disappointed in the case numbers, not gonna pick up Natalya until I see proto pics because if its the same scan as the first figure then thats an easy pass for me because I think that scan is awful, probably will pick up Yoshi if its his updated attire, same goes for Barrett, but this is a very weak set

Well shoot, I still can't find a Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels because anywhere that has that series is flooded with the stupid #10 Rey. I managed to get a Zack Ryder but missed Alex Riley and now anywhere with that set has nothing but every single #25 Rey they got in. Not looking forward to dealing with this set at all.
I can ALMOST understand people making a case for Cena but all these Reys is completely stupid since he's been gone all year AND got suspended. If I still can't have a Hawkins and Reks because they get no TV time (even though they've been on NXT every single week) and legends that everyone and their uncle know get 1 per case because they are not active, even less Reys should be produced because he hasn't even wrestled this year.

Yeah...nothing too exciting for me in this one. Tatsu could be cool if he has his face paint. Natty should also be good. Will probably get both of those but I'm pretty sure I'll wait for retail cause I don't feel like buying the entire set for 2 figures. Especially considering I'll never be able to get rid of the Cena or Rey cause like retail they don't sell well on eBay either. So I think I'll pass on this set.

If I somehow find tatsu at retail he will be the only one worth buying if his face is painted. 3 and 3 for cena and rey is just bad. with barretts b15 still on the shelves at several stores it won't be good. sheamus figure might sell but his elite is warming the pegs. natalya's fig will probably end up like vickie guerreros fig weak set.

Natalya & Yoshi are 1 per case so they'll be harder to find. I know. But with Rey & Cena both at 3 per case I'll be able to finish my fort in the warehouse of unsold rey & cena cases from different assortments.sheamus & barrett are both 2 per case. fyi - we don't have protos for this or elite 16 -Trevor Ringside lmao rey & cena are 3 per case? holy crap i seriously want to take a group of reps from Mattel around my area, let's go visit a few TRUs & Walmarts....and then have them try to tell me how Rey & Cena should be in every ing set Agreed. They need to stop making so many figures of the same people since contrary to what they believe Cena's don't sell that well if there are 10 different varieties at TRU and each type has 5 figures on the shelf... Natalya is nice to see however they should have made any other diva who has no figure at all [which is a LOT] before they start making another Natalya/Beth/Eve/Kelly etc figure... I know that there really are not that many international divas [idk for sure if Rosa is even from Mexico or Tamina from Samoa] but at least their figures would be first time figures.

Might try to cop Nattie and Yoshi if I ever see these in retail... probably not because some stores I go to are still clogged with signature series 0 Cenas, ER Cenas, SVSH Cenas... -_-

Well shoot, I still can't find a Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels because anywhere that has that series is flooded with the stupid #10 Rey. I've barely found that RRH series, just leftovers of one case at Wal-Mart, and a few leftovers at Kohl's or random drug stores (CVS/RiteAid/I can't remember.) The one per cases wouldn't be so bad if more cases got put out, but near me at least their is almost none of B14 and I've yet to see B16 anywhere. But the 4 Reys per case was a terrible decision - Mattel thinks nobody wants a Bret Hart figure? I've never seen one at retail (DM 5 or RRH). Nobody likes HBK? But I found B18 at Target today, which I wasn't even looking for. So who the hell knows what's going on? We don't know when, where, or why the Mattel WWE figures are going to show up in stores. It puts a pretty big dent in the fun of collecting some damn cool (for the most part) figures.

If Barrett is updated with his new tat and new trunks I will def get him. Pass on the rest.

and i love collecting rey's figures because he has cool attires but im really getting tired of seeing him in every other set.
i have a lot of cena's too...but most of his figures end up the same or very similar. its just time to move on....they need to release NEW characters more often.

I would have been more excited if the set was:
Natalya - Canada Hunico - Mexico (current gear) Santino - Italy Wade Barrett - UK Sheamus - Ireland Yoshi Tatsu - Japan

The only decent thing really is Barrett IF it's a new scan with his new tattoo, which I expect it should be. Still I only collect Elite's so this won't interest me, shame they couldn't pick another superstar from USA seeing as most the roster are American's! But you know, it's Cena so can't really leave him out a series....sort it out Mattel!

Yoshi will have half face paint Natalya will have shoulder spikes Wade will have his BOSS new tattoo ( it's awesome) Rey is a new deco Cena is in camo We do put Cena in a lot of mixes don't we? It's too late to change the assortment numbers on this wave but we are adjsuting to recent retail and lowering prodcution runs on future Cenas ( we will still make a lot but maybe not always 3 per case every time).
