If e18 taker only cones with a plastic shirt theirs a good chance it wil be a peg warmer. Most of his figures usually do I don't see a flashback taker warming pegs, especially if it's 1 per case...it'll sell and sell well, especially considering that it'll be released right around christmas time too.

I still dont understand this "revision" case thing. Some please explain? In general, it's Mattel's idea to keep "popular" Superstars on pegs and lessen the chance of pegwarmers. They are showing Brodus a lot of love.

Any pics of the rib tape? Is that for sure the accessory? I may need to order that for my DDP if so. No pics. He wore it in December of 2011 for those that are curious. That's what I'm hoping is in Elite 19 (or 20, whichever he will appear in). I love that attire/jacket!

That's cool that AJ will be 2 in the box but the problem still lies within stores ever receiving them period. I haven't seen any new basics in TRU, Walmart or Target since series 14 & 16 (15 was completely skipped over everywhere).

Does that mean we will see a price drop for AJ. At Ringside? $50 is really steep, especially considering she is not even in wrestling gear.

Mattel still doesn't get it. Shelves are overly infected with John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton and they still keep making them 3 per case. Then of course all the new guys and divas that everyone wants, they make 1 per case or none in the revision cases. No wonder the prices of these are so high online. There getting to be like gold to find a new character anymore. Pretty soon we wont even see new characters cause there is just going to be swarms of Cena, Orton, Mysterio's on the shelves. It is cool Brodus is 3 per case though in E18 and AJ will be 2. If that's even true. No you still don't get it. Cena/Rey/Orton are the faces of the company...so that is who's merchandise the WWE wants on the pegs. They are also the guys the retailers want on the shelves. Retailers know if they have 50 Cena/Rey/Orton on the pegs or 50 Trent/Hawkins/Ryder figures they have a greater chance of moving the Cena/Rey/Orton figures than they will the others. Think of it like a superhero line retailers want more heroes on the pegs than they do villians, because most kid aren't going to go to a store and ask "Can I get this Penguin figure?"...9 times out of 10 they'll say "Can I get this Batman?" So they will always be packed heavier than the lesser know wrestlers. As for brodus they are hoping because he's popular with the kids he'll move, but I have a feeling he'll be a major pegwarmer. The only good thing is he'll be out before Christmas so the holiday's might help his sales.

I only saw the old Brodus once in stores and that was before he returned. Now he appears to be over big time with fans, so I expect him to be a hot seller. In other words... Funky gonna to roll!

I'm glad AJ will be 2 per case with the revision. Now, I'll be able to do a Headswap with the COO body and make her GM look...JK

These case ratios suck, most of the good figures are only 1 to a case. Good job Mattel!!!!!
They just aren't learning, after the Green Lantern Movie Masters where you need 8-10 figures to complete a BAF and most of those figures never made it to stores they do the same with Dark Knight Rises and continue with WWE. Pleanty of Green Lantern, Batman, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, etc. sitting on shelves.
I <3 Mattels stupidity.

Pleanty of Green Lantern, Batman, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, etc. sitting on shelves. I <3 Mattels stupidity. I've seen plenty of Alfred, Catwoman, Bane and Blake's at retail. (also saw 4 or 5 Gordon's) as a matter of fact between WalMart & KMart yesterday I saw everyone listed above minus Gordon. Sure I saw more Batman but I still saw the rest. Almost bought Alfred to make a suite Bruce, but decided to pass because Bruce needs to be bigger than that suit mold...so I bought the 4" scale The Bat instead. The only MM I yet to see is Ra's. As for the GL MM I hated their design so I only picked up Hal, Abin Sur, Tomar Re, Sinestro and Kilowog the other day. But other than the TRU 2-Packs Hal is gone. The only GL MM I see at any TRU are the series 1 Rot Lop Fan & Naut Kei Loi figures. The single carded Hal's were gone when the movie was out.

AJ most definitely uses the same parts and is the same height as Melina, which IMO makes her perfectly in scale. I thinks its a new torso but she is definitely the same from the abs down as Melina. Check that display that was backstage at RAW recently.....AJ is short. HOORAY!

I really hope that Bryan is a re-package of BO2012. Then I won't feel guilty buying it for the rib tape.
