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. Yes, the white boxes started with elite 12 -- which hit retail in November 2011. Which was the first series with 2012 packaging. Six elite series in a year. Two years since then. Series 12 + 6 + 6 = Series 24. And they alter the packaging every year. The big change is every two years, and on the year they don't make the big change, they make a smaller change. The 2013 packaging started with Elite 18. It's smaller than the 2012 (series 12-17) packaging, the photographs are placed differently, and the colours on the logos/designs are a little different. Here's a series 12 figure (2012 packaging): Here's a series 18 figure (2013 packaging): You can doubt anything you want, but unless Mattel's schedules are changing, Elite 24 will start hitting retail late November. Same as Elite 18 did last year, and Elite 12 the year before that. If you're right about Elite 23 hitting retail in three weeks... Well, elites come out roughly ever nine weeks. Which puts Elite 24 about twelve to thirteen weeks from now. And twelve to thirteen weeks from now, we'll be in good ol' November.

RSC has E24 scheduled for early November. But it seems reasonable to expect them in Mid-Late October, which puts E24 in retail by Thanksgiving.
The belt that came with my Savage also had a chip. I wonder if that is a common problem?
