Anyone else think E23 is a test series for doing flashback heavy series'? Hopefully this set does well and they do another soon. I know I'll be picking up Macho Man, Undertaker and maybe HHH. It seems like they broke up the eras of wrestling with e23 so It would be sweet if elite 26 was like this
85-92 Ric Flair WM 8
93-96 Shawn Michaels (white/red original Sexy Boy look)
97-01 X-Pac
02-06 ...whoever don't care lol Who would you like to see?

I think if it does well, we'll get one series a year along the same lines -- a Cena, a new guy and 4 flashbacks. I'd like to see for elite 29:
John Cena with whatever T-shirt he's rocking this fall
Bray Wyatt with removable hat and Hawaiian shirt (but he might come earlier than 29)
Ric Flair (Royal Rumble 1992) with robe
Triple H (SummerSlam 1998) with yellow ladder
Stone Cold (2001 jean shorts mold) with removable What? T-shirt
Rob Van Dam (2001 yellow/red singlet) with chair and Hardcore title

02-06? That Big Show! That Big Show would go good with ABA Taker, Lesnar, eddie, JBL and several others. I'm really more interested in 85-97 era but realistically I feel Mattel is gonna space everything out

It probably is. MDT has probably noticed that collectors are buying the Flashbacks a lot more than the current superstars on the main roster. I think your suggestions are future figures that we'll see in an Elite line, but they showed off Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and Rikishi at the panel so I think they're in Elite Series 26. I know I want to see a Scott Hall that matches with the Kevin Nash from Elite Series 16 or at least a Razor Ramon. I also want to see a 1989-1991 Hulk Hogan figure since he's probably gonna be in WWE 2K14.

It wouldnt hurt for legends collectors to buy all 4 of them if you want to see this kind of thing continue. Though we have to realize that 3 out of the 4 in this set have current roles in the WWE product now. Im not sure we would see 4 flashbacks in a series of old timers not currently associated with WWE. Remember most the guys made lately in the flashback line still perform (wrestling and commentary) on a regular or semi regular basis. . HBK, Kane, Lesnar, Giant, HHH,JBL, Lawler, Christian, Taker. Road dogg has performed recently and Bruno and Trish were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

EDIT: or maybe even a flashback line a couple times a year

I preordered the whole set. Love Ceasaro and Cena looks good. I have all the elite Cenas. I would much rather 6 FLashback figs

All I can say is that almost all of them, especially Undertaker, JBL and Macho Man are instant buys for me when they come out.

If it is a test, I think it'll succeed. I know I'm interested in taker(2 for myself), JBL & macho man. If its a success then we've got a good chance of them doing it again, which would be great.
The characters they picked will all sell so no worries there.

No doubt. Hopefully it will allow for more fb series. E23 will for sure do well.

i don't think its a test. We're getting the same amount of Flashbacks as last year. It just so happens that instead of 2 in one wave....its 4.

Hopefully they do more FB heavy sets, but I will say they lost one from me with the e23 Macho. I was all set to preorder it until I found out he wasn't in trunks let alone WMIII attire. Between the NWO and DM I have more than enough long tights Macho Man figures. But in trunks I'd buy every version they released.
So instead of ordering the Macho to go with the HHH I had preordered I added Taker. And after finally seeing the pics this weekend at SDCC I am glad I did.

I'm all for the elite flashbacks increasing, but not at the exspense of the elite line. I think they have it right at the moment. I would be cool with FB heavy line once year or even twice a year...

I heard during an interview for comic con that it was a test series so we know that Macho, Taker, and just about everyone in elite 23 is gonna be bought they've been backordered a lot since they came out so A+ on the test and we will get an X-PAC figure sooner than later....

Test or not, I will buy the heck out of that series, maybe even 2 Takers for a gray glove swap.

L7 Austin should feature in a set. Would be cool to see another flashback heavy set, especially 90's looks/superstars. It'd also be cool to have Axel and Mr.Perfect in an elite set, with Perfect coming with an IC/Towel and Axel possibly with the white IC or whatever his gimmick/belt is at the time.
