as the subject says
I did buy the elites thinking they were flashbacks but I returned them, also does anyone know what happened to the rumoured Mania battle packs, I know they were changed for Dollar Man and Dibiase but you cant tell me that these were more popular than the Dudley Boyz would have been.

I'm not surprised we didn't get anymore than we did. You'll prolly have to wait until they go into the HOF to get flashbacks now. Still, it's not like these elites don't serve well as flashbacks in the first place.

You'll have to wait 10-15 years until they get into the HoF.

Doesn't amaze me one but if they didn't capitalize on the elite RVDs. It's just weird... we all want these amazing attires and we never get them or when we're about to it's too late. Hopefully they release a crapload of Hardy flashbacks in case anything happens. Come to think of it we could of gotten all three teams from tlc the dudleys, e&c and the Hardys.

Maybe Mattel was just figuring they'd be around longer. That's why we got the lame modern versions first, to string us along until they made the Attitude era and ECW tie dye versions we actually wanted.
Agreed with RVD. Travesty we only got one Elite and it was modern.

My main concern is that their Elites did not sell well so maybe that would turn Mattel against the idea of more Dudleys in the future.

Ya we really needed to get a classic Dudley Boys battle pack and that is a shame we didn't get it.

The only dudleys I would buy would be an early flashback elite. But I don't really care if I don't get them

Yeah it would've been nice to see some more RVDs. I was really hoping to see some ECW Dudleyz.

I was soooo disappointed the Elite Dudleys weren't Flashback versions - it would have been great if they had released them like they did with the New Age Outlaws... a (Basic) Battlepack of their modern look, then (Elite) Flashback versions of their classic/earlier look. Same with the Hardyz too - and guys like RVD and Rhyno... Basic current version(s) and Elite Flashbacks. as the subject says I did buy the elites thinking they were flashbacks but I returned them, also does anyone know what happened to the rumoured Mania battle packs, I know they were changed for Dollar Man and Dibiase but you cant tell me that these were more popular than the Dudley Boyz would have been. ...I think it was more to do with The Dudleys no longer being under contract, so the 'Mania Battlepack had to be changed. I'm not surprised we didn't get anymore than we did. You'll prolly have to wait until they go into the HOF to get flashbacks now. Still, it's not like these elites don't serve well as flashbacks in the first place. yeah but I'm fussy, they have to be true flashbacks for me, hence why I sent them back ruins the ambience of my collection Yeah, I know what you mean. It doesn't take much to make the Elite Dudleys Flashback versions though... someone on here did it and they looked really good (things like removing Bubba's tattoos and adding t-shirt sleeves).

Not as good as other fix ups I've seen but happy with how my turned out. It'll do until a real Flashback ever comes out.

Mattel didn't jump on it fast enough before their contracts expired.
I hope they learn their lesson from the Hardyz , Angle , etc

Mattel did what they normally do for tag teams: make a basic battle pack and elite counterparts. Blame the Dudleys for not changing their look when they returned. Other than new tattoos and haircuts, they looked and dressed the same. So Mattel probably thought it could pass for both modern and flashback. Unless it's the tie dye phase, the chances of flashback Bubba and D-Von were low. Maybe somebody like RSC or Amazon should had put in a request. Same for RVD. RSC should had been all over making a ECW era RVD instead of a Rock few wanted.

The Dudleys we got serve quite well as flashbacks. Not much difference and the same with RVD, not much complaints from me. You wouldnt see much difference with an RVD flashback. I do hope however we get the Dudleyz in the future in their ECW attire and the blue & black camo gear from the attitude era.
