I can believe that, exactly what WWE does, just like the new policy of only referencing the big cities rather than the "minor" towns they go to.....why?! Crazy!!

WWE doesn't want their referees becoming 'stars' or known personalities. This is why a few years ago, they stopped calling them by name. Is that why the actual refs aren't in the videogames anymore?? They stopped putting real refs in the game. Now its just some generic made up guy in a ref shirt. They used to have Chioda, Nick Patrick and Armstrong I like how Bill said WWE wouldn't let them do a referee, so he says "Thats why i did an HBK in ref gear." Thats cool of him to do, cuz he knows we'll buy 2 and make the second a custom ref

I love how cynical everyone is. Be thankful for what you get. It was nice to get that kind of insight, especially for a guy like me who would LOVE to work at a place like Mattel. I do happen to work for a record company that reissues vinyl, so I know first hand about production costs. I can sympathize. Things are definitely not cheap these days, so I'm very grateful we're getting the quality of figure that Mattel has to offer. Thanks Mattel, Bill and Enrique for the tid-bits and thanks to Tim and Tom for being there to get it out of them.

They at least explained why Flashbacks are short packed. Like Yokozuna not being as popular as Mankind. There is just one problem with that. Yokozuna has more than 2 fans, and Mankind has more than 10 fans. Pack more Mattel.
Also parents don't buy Elites for their children. Elites are geared specifically towards us older collectors. No need to overpack Cena, Orton, and Rey on Elites. Do that to Flex Force and Rumblers.

I understand packing the flashbacks 1 per case but the revision assts without flashbacks are a disgrace. elite 14 is a prime example 4 Cena, 2 Rock, 1 Taker, 1 Del Rio that adds peg warmers especially since a similar Cena was released in the TRU BOPPV set
Mattel needs to realize a market is there for Legends/gimmicks of before
I could see them producing Skinner as 1 per 2 cases he won't sell as well as Yokozuna,Mankind, Big Boss Man, Diesel, Kevin Nash etc,etc

Bill gave us some in-depth "behind the scenes" style answers that I found to be pretty interesting. I bet they collectively groan whenever Punk gets new ink, lol.
Hopefully WWE signs some of the talent appearing in WWE '13 to Legends deals.

Bill said the Entance Stage isn't coming out until fall as well as the display tag yet we were told "anyday now" by MDT. Which is it?
I normally would take Bill's word for it but with the RAW Cenas popping up (that to had a fall tag) already I would like to think the Stage isn't too far behind.
I am also not going to anticipate a "New Scale" he kinda skirted around that issue so my guess is... it's not gonna happen.
