Bill said a flashback is coming with a. Classic tag belt soon.... Bet on I.r.s Yes, but Bill said that flashback will only have one classic tag belt because of high deco. IRS attire shouldn't be high deco right? This is why I'm thinking that it won't be I.R.S. |

Bill said at sdcc that IRS was pulled from e36 because the head came in too small so they had to fix it to make it look right. He said then that it was fixed and looks great and now just waiting for the right spot in the line. If IRS was to be in e40 then that would be about 5-6 months from sdcc. It shouldn't need to be longer than that to find a spot. I'm not complaining. Bill got us 6 flashbacks in two series including Sid, godfather, the bulldog we all want, and big E/farooq. However, the budget for IRS was spent mostly in e36 right? This should be just about a free figure for Mattel to get in the line. It should have the classic belt too |

Im hoping Sid either has more flared out hair like in his Sid Justice days...  Or if they feel they have to have it more slicked back, at least make it longer like it was in WCW  Whatever you do Bill dont give him the bobbed hair cut that looks like Bob Orton or a short haircut like he had in '97 |

In a perfect world we will get a blue Sid Justice....but the world isnt perfect. I just hope they give the figure the Luger treatment where we get a 90s attire and 80s hair do |

I just hope they give the figure the Luger treatment where we get a 90s attire and 80s hair do Or even red as I stated before but yes, you're right, the Luger treatment will be good enough... |

I feel like preorders will go quick, but as far as retail goes, this is gonna warm HARD Youre crazy Im crazy? Right....because all these other guys the older collectors wanted are selling so well in stores... Within 30 minutes of my house i can find 8 hof tito, 6 e35 earthquake, 3 e36 ddp, at least 10 e33 jyd, even some hof slaughter and warrior remain, several basic flair and steamboat...because kids, who are still the main target of these lines. Dont want guys they dont know about. The initial rush of collectors will buy them up, but in march, shelves will be clogged with sids and bulldogs and godfathers. |

Yep, but the shelf clogging has to do with the store that orders them, not Mattel. Guarantee you this will be one of the best selling Elite series of the year. |

BEST ONE RELEASED SINCE I'VE BEEN COLLECTING!!!! I want 5 of the 6 on name alone. Could be 6 depending on accessories. Could also go down to 3 if zigglers face scan still sucks and sid isnt the sid i remember. Collectors will buy these up, but kids wont. All im saying is that this set will be around for a while. Im happy with it. This is the first set where i didnt have an easy pass. Since i started paying attention to who was in each series, in e29, i easily passed andre, batista, kane, cody, jyd, barrett, earthquake, ddp, malenko, bryan. So i like the set...i just dont like my chances of seeing e40 in stores because of the high flashbacks in 38 and now 39 back to back. |

From a parent and kids perspective, no, these aren't good waves and will more than likely sit for a long while after all of us collectors have purchased ours and the ongoing shipments continue to come through stores. May this possibly affect the line, yes, definitely a chance, if flashbacks continue to sit in stores for long periods of time... |

It's Christmas soon so things are different. Also, maybe so about kids not wanting flashbacks when in stores, but at Christmas adults are in stores (and not just women) buying toys. Macho man, bulldog, and Sycho Sid are recognizable names to adults. And godfather is a pimp. How can you not buy a pimp toy? |
