I wasn't sure about whether to pre-order these, but I really liked them when they were shown at SDCC, so I figured I'd like to get them early and the total cost was only £10 more than I'd have paid at retail anyway. Pre-ordered them last week, and they were sent out on Monday. Got a red slip in the postbox yesterday saying they'd tried to deliver 'em, so I went down to the post office early this morning to pick 'em up. The box they came in should be sufficient to finally send some figures for a trade I've had set up too! Haven't opened them yet (still haven't opened any of my elite 22 besides Giant yet, or my Cactus Jack) but from a quick inspection, there are no issues with paint etc. Macho's title is a little bit chipped but I've got that belt a couple of times already anyway. Bret, Diesel, did it come with anyone else too? Attachment DeletedSo that's the last series of elites in the current packaging! |

Yeah, from Wrestling World. It's a shame that retail prices have gone so high that I'm now considering WW's elite prices reasonable!  |

£20 for postage from WW to Australia but at least that is per order not per item. Oh and the winged eagle belt also came with Andre.

He never wore the Winged Eagle though...He wore the Big Eagle Attitude Belt. I know that, but I thought the Mankind figure came wirh a title. And seeing we didn't have the attitude era belt when Mankind was released I thought he came wirh that one. But looking at my setup now I was mistaken...he only came with Mr. Socko. |

Also, it didn't come with a title at all. Diesel,DM Hart,Macho Man E23 and Andre are the ones that have it. |

I said in the above post I knew he didn't hold that version, but the attitude title wasn't released yet when E17 was released. But I had just looked at my collection setup and realized he only came with Mr. socko. And besides those mentioned Warrior also came with that title on a yellow strap. |

I knew that title was in the Legends line but I was like, Was it Perfect who came with it? Idk... But obviously it was Warrior. |

pretty sure e24 will have the current packaging too. As they said the new boxes are for 2014 Elite 24 is part of the 2014 line, or should be. The last series of the year to hit retail usually has the new year packaging. The current 2013 line packaging started with Elite 18 and Basic 24. So the new packaging should come in with Elite 24 and Basic 36, unless they've changed the schedules. |

why would e24 be 2014??
e23 will be in stores in 3 weeks. I doubt they're going 3 1/2 months w/o releasing another elite set at retail

The last elite series that hits retail in a year usually has the new year packaging. Elite 18 -- which hit retail in November 2012 -- had the 2013 packaging. There are six elite series a year. 18 + 6 = 24. Series 24 will hit retail in November, and will (unless Mattel's system has changed) have the 2014 packaging. |

now im confused. 2013 packaging?? They've had the white boxes since elite 12. They even said in the video they change packaging every 2 years. Not to mention the samples of the new packaging we saw, were e25. Why would they put a set of figs that are much further off......when e24 protos would make more sense if they will be the first set in the blue boxes
and i also doubt e24 is hitting retail at the same time the pre-orders are shipping.
