With San Diego Comic-Con about a week away lets see how many good questions that we can give Mattel and hopefully get some good answers to. 1. Will collectors have another chance at getting Harley Race, Aleister Black and other store exclusives that were next to impossible to get? 2. Will the accessories from Ultimate Deletion be released another way? 3. How many waves of Ultimate Edition are planned 4. Is the Target NXT line officially done now that Andrade is a Ringside exclusive? 5. Mike and Maria, updated R-Truth, Drake Maverick, Lucha House Party coming soon 6. Is Koko B. Ware back on the table yet?

How are you working towards making collecting easier for international collectors who are trying to collect exclusives.

1. You know that the demand HAS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS ... and it isn’t a hard figure at all to make ... very cost effective budget wise ect... so, what’s the hold up / legit reason as to why a “hHh” hasn’t been made ?
- * There can’t be a “Finding the right place to put it” bs answer with this one *
2. These guys are all under contracts, but is there any chance at all of these ever being made ? :
Brother Love Jeff Jarrett Hulk Hogan Skinner Virgil (Hasbro Remake / Singles Run)
3. Has the RetroFest line done well enough to continue and if so will we ever see some "First Time In The Line" Legends/Flashbacks included in it ?
4. Are guys like Koko. B Ware, Repo Man, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Haku, One Man Gang, Hercules, Giant Gonzales even a possibility ? - * I know all about the concussion lawsuit ect ... just wondering if Bill would even care to make these gimmicks *
- ** If it's contact information that's needed to either Hercules or Giant Gonzales estate ... I can make sure that Bill gets it **
5. Will the trend of 1 Current / 1 Flashback continue to be the norm, in the Ultimate Edition line ?
6. Why couldn't there just have been more budget put into Elite Series instead of creating the Ultimate Edition line ? #ThatNakamuraTorso ugh !
7. Would you ever consider making Gobbledy Gooker as a SDCC Exclusive ?
8. So, what’s the deal with the “Best of Attitude Era” line ... I bet that it’s dead, too, right ?
That’s pretty much all I’d like to know 👍🏻

I doubt you're going to ask any of mine, but I'll give it a shot.
1. Are Roderick Strong and Titus O'Neil going to see the light of day?
2. You've said before it takes time to create a figure, but time and again the angle you've based the figure off of is way past relevant at release date. What steps are you guys taking to cut down on that time?
3. In a similar vein, wrestlers like Hideo Itami prove that a delay can cause the line to take a hit and lose a potential character. What steps, other than not showing us protos, are you taking to get product from the proto being created to on the shelves quicker?
4. Do you still have the opinion that collectors are a smaller segment of the market for the Elite line?
5. Are we ever gonna see the rest of the ECW and WCW Titles? You said before it was a matter of finding the right characters for them, but Rey again came with the wrong title. Any possibility of a system of correcting the wrong belts being included with Rey, Eddie, and Baszler, like being able to mail in the belt for the correct one?
6. We appreciate what you're trying to do with Gorilla and Muraco, but are there plans for more flashbacks beyond the exclusives and one off lines?
7. Are Walmart and Target still actively stocking the main Elite line? Do either still have any exclusive lines outside of the special one per case figures like Dunne, Backlund, etc.?
8. Are there any plans to make these first time in the line figures that have had poor or limited distribution easier to get ahold of for people who are unable to get them from Walmart or Target? It's a bit of a disservice to a completionist to create new characters that in some cases, just can't be found due to some cog in the machine breaking along the way.
9. What's your favorite part about working on the Elite line in 2019 and beyond?
10. What's the most disappointing news you have for us Elite collectors right now?

RETROS E T R O S
What will we get over the next 12 months and how can we get even more?
What is the possibility of Retro playsets or accessory packs being sold? Why or why not?
Why did Diesel’s Retro have a massive head?
Will there ever be new move types for the Retros (in the foreseeable future)?
Is the budget so low for Retros that Mattel can’t afford the fraction of a fraction of a cent it would take to get thicker cards?
Are there any plans for exclusive Retros?

Is the budget so low for Retros that Mattel can’t afford the fraction of a fraction of a cent it would take to get thicker cards? Are there any plans for exclusive Retros? As for Retros - I'd add - any plans for a WWE Attitude Era or WCW Nitro ring (Retro Style)? Any plans for modern-day Smackdown & RAW Retro Rings? As for the regular line - any possible plans for the Ultimate Deletion set? Any plans for Elite "Woken" or "Broken" Matt Hardy figures? When will we see a Lio Rush figure? (hopefully at SDCC) Any comments on U.S. distribution of Elites & Basics? Walmart and Target have been horrible in 2019! Possibility of an Eric Bischoff figure, since he is back with WWE? Any comments on the Harley Race Flashback set? Most fans were not able to find this set......

What is going on with distribution to retail in Ireland and UK for example Elite 68 only two figures released.
Lack to figures such as Pete Dunne etc.
Any chance of another Legends line in the future?
With Wicked Cool Toys making cardboard stages will a real scale stage not happen now?
