There is not an Elite Legends series.That is what Ringside called it on the preorders. The Elite Legends line is not a relaunch of the Legends line. Undertaker, Michaels, Ultimate Warrior and Kamala are reissues in new packaging (Elite Flashback). Jericho is a new deco and Magnum is new, sorta.. Elite line will continue to have Flashbacks in it. Good ones in my opinion. So are the reissues of HBK, Taker, Kamala, and Warrior along with Magnum and Y2J Elite 45? Why wouldn't RSC call it E45 if that was the case? If its not E45 and not Elite Legends then why wouldn't Mattel inform RSC the name of the line before making the lineup official allowing RSC to start taking pre-orders?

I've heard them referred to as the 'Lost Legends' line. Not sure what it is tbh, is it a recurring line, a one off set?

They are whatever Mattel's wants them to be I'm thrilled I get a new never before released figure from the past if nothing more.

They are just a bonus wave of figures nothing more nothing less. Like in 2010-2011 when the elite line had a xtra best of wave.

its not E45 so hes not gonna call it that.. its just a stand alone series more than a line... its like a reissue series that includes new Jericho and Magnum. Im guessing Bill saw an angle to get TA in the line somehow and jumped on it.. im not sure why this series is being issued, other than the obvious to get these older elites out and find spots for 2 newer figs. could be they just dont have a name for it ..its just a "reissue series" thats not apart of the regular elite line or anything for that matter.

If there was an official name or update Ringside would update their graphics. All we have are the comments Bill said and random, inconsistent, speculation until a formal announcement has been made.

Whatever it's called its just 'Winnipegs most famous son' for me. I have e19 hbk & e23 Taker. Don't need Warrior as Hof 1 is all I need and despite the moment in time it captures, I've always hated that orange/green attire.
No interest in Kamala or Magnum but I can still appreciate a great set of figs.
Just hoping Jericho is loads different to e20.

I wonder what era Jericho is supposed to be, if the only thing new is the paint? Could it be the RSC head for WMX8? 99 head for WCW? Maybe the G.O.A.T. attire on an E20 Y2J base? People were asking for a new modern one several months ago along with the flashbacks too./speculation

It's just to get rereleases in that would be complained about in the main line I think. I'll bet we get another wave like this someday with more rereleases.

Magnum is really the only "new" figure in this wave.

I get that its likely an extra wave thrown in but just found it odd that they've officially confirmed the lineup but either do not know what to call the series or keeping it a secret. You'd think they would know what they're going to call the extra wave prior to starting production on the figures for it. Doesn't make any sense to withhold that info from RSC if they did know what they're calling it.

its called the "Only way we could release a Magnum TA figure" Series 1
honestly the only other ways they could have pulled it off, were another Matty Legends sub....or a 4 flashback wave that had 2 big name figs that would def sell, and an NWA Dusty in it.

Was E10 Big Show JeriShow or ShowMiz or either or? I was thinking to fit with the theme of the series or reissues and never released planned figures then maybe Jericho would come with the two titles to go with E10 Show.

Elite 44.5 or Elite 45.

I'm happy this set is happening, though I'll probably only get half. I have HBK, Taker and Kamala.
Magnum is the most exciting one for me. I've been waiting years for him!
Jericho will be cool, though I'm curious what he'll look like since he'll be a repaint and not a straight reissue.
Warrior is another I could use. I have a few of him, but that was such a good one. I would like to see them give us a yellow IC title, but other than that I'm fine with no changes.
My only complaint is I wish Diesel was in it. The way they've been giving us the super expensive figures, though, I'm guessing they'll find a way before too long. Maybe a future Hall of Fame set.

I'd wager a guess that it's sort of an Elite 44.5 type wave. Elite UPC but not part of the main line. sorta like the Undertaker/Brock mania figures this year.

Will Jericho still be in elite 45? This is the previously rumored/leaked E45 lineup. MDT confirmed Jericho is a new deco and wont be a reissue.
