i think that more Elites will be coming, because elite 33 has its own Canadian packaging all over it.. says from Mattel Canada Inc on the back, etc... id say thats a good sign Yeah I just noticed that new packaging on the DM Hogan. There's actually a Mattel Canada 1-800 number on the back which I think I'm going to call tomorrow to ask a few questions regarding distribution.

Let us know what they say Fingers crossed that it won't be as crappy as Walmart Yeah I'm going to inquire about distribution and future plans for Elite figures in terms of what retailers will be carrying them going forward. Btw, nice touch with the tag titles on Miz and Mizdow in your signature pic. I like how you gave the dull titles to Mizdow to simulate the toy versions he was using on tv!

So guys, how about that new RSC exclusive HBK with the white/red heart tights & vest? That is a definite pick up for me. What are your guys' thoughts on the figure? On a side note, what currently available RSC exclusive figure would you recommend I buy? I still kick myself today for not getting an nWo Macho Man so now that I have a bit of money to throw around, which figure should I grab? get the Rated R Edge Exclusive, The HBK exclusive looks good but i'm not interested in it

Oh yeah, RSC and eBay have gotten thousands of my dollars over the years. I live in the southwestern Ontario region. I got lucky with the Kane and Paul Bearer BAF lines, but I have a bad feeling about the new elites or DM figures. My area is one that is still living the curse of Jinder/Ryback, Rey/Cara and Dolph/Vicki, AKA the 'Shaq Fu' of Battle Pack lines. Every time I see the Jinder/Ryback 2-pack I shudder. I'm not even kidding. What aboot the classic alex Riley/the miz 2 pack

Wow. CRAZY that Walmart is finally giving us Elites! You guys have been finding some pretty awesome stuff! I really hope to find that X-Pac soon.
I did stop by a Walmart in Etobicoke and see a whole case of Elite 32. Didn't leave with any coz I don't really need any of the guys in that wave (Big E's face looked strange, like he's constipated or something. haha), plus money's tight. Might get the Mysterio though if I see it again. That figure stand + cruiserweight title belt are tempting. Happy hunting!

I think with the exception of Rey (because of the accessories) it's a very weak set. I know I'm jumping ahead but if we stay on pace with the elites, e34 and e35 both look great. Tons of those that I want.

I sure hope so because I'm planning to hunt west of Toronto today.

For e35, I really only want to track down Los Matadores, but 'Quake and Harper might be good too. Man, it's GREAT that Elites are here now, but either way collecting's so expensive sometimes.

Out of the Elite 34 set I can't wait for Paige, I also hope we get basic 50 soon since that series is gold

I really hope these 2 series doesn't get skipped because we sometimes skip Basic series and we are still not sure about the Elite distribution yet from Walmart. But if we somehow skip these, there is always a plan B ( Amazon)

So I wandered on down to the Antique Mall again and put a significant dent in the vendor's selection of loose figs. It kinda goes to show you what I've missed over the years in terms of pieces of my collection. They also had Justin Gabriel, Wade Barrett, Skip Sheffield, Darren Young, Michael Tarver all in their Nexus gear which was nifty. If they're all still there next time I wander down I'll pick them up. Anyways, here's what I nabbed Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

I'm really looking forward to seeing Elites in Canada! I find it hard to believe. The only Elites I have seen around these parts is the TRU Exclusive Triple H that still haunts me.
