Some of you are being ridiculous. These are toys, aimed at children. Not everything this toy company releases has to be a perfect Elite flashback! I think we all understand this. I think we are all just getting frustrated with all the gimmick toys that Mattel has released and had little success with. With that being said, these CAW figures appear to be the best of the gimmicky stuff they have made. |

Instead of that they could give us 1 More Elite Fig in each Elite Line Up ? Ah, you don't understand how money works. Spoiler: The budget that other lines get doesn't have any impact on the elite line budget. An elite series has 6 figures because that is the optimal number of figures per series, not because "zomg no money for 7th fig cuz we made flexforce that day!" You get far too much enjoyment telling this to folk, almost as much as you do when you reply to something saying 'false'  lol. |

I like the idea of those CAW figures. May pick some up for the accessories & decals and give my son the figures.

Spoiler: The budget that other lines get doesn't have any impact on the elite line budget. An elite series has 6 figures because that is the optimal number of figures per series, not because "zomg no money for 7th fig cuz we made flexforce that day!" This!! Lets break this down further. Adding 1 figure to a 6 figure line would actually bring in more costs than one would think. Shipping cases are already ordered to house a case break down for a series of 6. This is usually 8 for a store case and 6 for someone buying one set. Changing the series to 7 figures would then require new box dimensions for not only casr shippments but set shipments. This also effects the marketing by adding ine more figure to the box art. Which would effect packaging design. This is also one more figure to add to a display at conventions. One more figure that would need tooling. Tooling takes time. Adding a series of 7 could potentially slowe down the entire process of getting each line finished for shipment each quarter. Thus bringing us down 1 or 2 series annually. So, adding 1 more figure, really isn't cost efficient. |

Rather than wasting their budget on what? Instead of that they could give us 1 More Elite Fig in each Elite Line Up ?  |

Its hard to believe that this financial philosophy still needs to be explained almost on a weekly basis. |

The WCT cage is sweet... it's a damn shame I'll never have it because I am not about to buy another damn ring for it.

For example they could have given Elite 26 Ultimate Warrior his Entrance Coat ! |

That's curious, WCT are saying on FB that the Cages will be released on their own. I thought they said they couldn't do that?
