The Uso's would cost too much to make, PTP are on the decline and near breaking up, Mattel missed the boat in making elites of them, they should've struck while the iron was still hot after Darren Young turned gay.

The whole discussion is about why those guys aren't "worthy" of Elites. We already know why. Flashbacks took up the spots that used to be reserved for marginal guys, and the tag teams that haven't had figures are either too new to have figures, or they're marginal guys. The Prime Time Players are lucky if they make it onto Raw once or twice a month. The Usos are much more visible now than they were a year ago and have been helped tremendously by their battles with The Shield over the last several months, and so there's a good chance we might see them in elite form by Christmas 2014. Los Matadores are new and WWE seems to have already lost a bit of interest in them or struggling for ideas for them. But elites of them would be 9-12 months away even if they were planned the day they debuted. 3MB are very, very low in the hierarchy of WWE. Harper and Rowan have only just had their first basic figures announced and may well have elites out next year too. The full roster of non-flashback elites in the 2013 packaging (and this was the biggest year yet, we had seven series): Brodus Clay Sin Cara Rey Mysterio x 3 Wade Barrett x 2 Kane x 2 Brock Lesnar Daniel Bryan Dolph Ziggler x 2 Chris Jericho CM Punk Cody Rhodes John Cena x 2 Santino Marella Ryback x 2 Alberto Del Rio AJ Randy Orton Tensai Damien Sandow Big Show The Rock Antonio Cesaro The Miz Keeping in mind that these figures were planned during the period of roughly Royal Rumble 2012 to WrestleMania 29, none of the ones on the list made sense to be replaced by Uso B or Darren Young. As collectors, we can cry that Mysterio, Cena, Kane, Ziggler and Ryback got multiple figures instead of Uso A or Titus getting their first elite, but it's easy to see why a new John Cena or Kane figure gets priority.

The only big cost would be tooling new molds for the shorts, and that can be justified, considering they get to use the mold on two figures. They've created new basic shorts molds for them, unless they're using Lesnar upper legs or something, but that would look very odd.
