If that’s the lineup just Fish for me. Yep, same here. And why wouldn’t you pack someone like that x2. His first individual elite. Who needs more Roman Reigns, he has one look and you just change the color on his vest. Mattel makes it so easy to save my money.
Probably because the kinds of fans who want a Bobby Fish are going to buy one from RSC. It's not like you need him available in numbers on the store shelves to sell him.

I don't have any elites of the New Day yet so I'll grab them for sure.
Not a super exciting set overall though.

Does the return of the legends line mean no more flashbacks in the main line or am I drawing conclusions too soon

Crossing my fingers we finally get some good gear for the New Day and a lighter skintone for Roman. I’ve been waiting for a Roman Reigns with a correct skin tone since the beginning of the line. Not sure why Mattel keeps using the Farooq skintone. Reigns should be lighter.

Like many others have said, just Io and Fish for me.
It will be nice to save a little money on this set.

That's beneficial all-around. The Flashback dudes can get more of their guys in a dedicated line, and I might have a hope of seeing a wide-ranging NXT roster before they can all be released as Flashbacks.

I'll grab Io. I have Fish from the UE 3-pack, so not sure that I need another. But I already have Roddy, so I may end up buying the other 3 to match. This hobby is a slippery slope...

I don’t even like Corbin, but he’s LONG overdue for a new elite, or even a proper figure!! Constable Corbin was a disgrace!!

I already have Fish, so maybe New Day. I’ll get Bryan if his hair is short, since I don’t have any Bryan’s currently

Glad to finally be able to update New Day. I still have the orange ones up. I'll order the three all together.
Roman should have his new gear, so that'll probably be enough to entice me.
Hopefully Bryan has shorter hair. If so, I'm sure I'll upgrade.
Io is a must.
Bobby Fish is a maybe, only because I have the 3 pack version and he just got all those new tattoos.

Io is the only must buy in this set for me. I’ll wait until we see what Reigns and Fish’s attires are gonna look like before I commit to buying them.
I doubt it, but I’d like if the Reigns figure had his green trimmed vest from his 2018 feud with Lashley (it’s the vest on the Summerslam/Top Talents Elite, but the trim is green instead of blue and white). IMO that’s what they should’ve made the Top Talents one look like, instead of rereleasing the same one twice. Odds are, it’s probably gonna be one of his vests with the Big Dog logo on it, which I won’t mind, depending on the color chosen.

Elite 79 1x Lo Shirai (UPC: 887961833850) 1x Bobby Fish (UPC: 887961833904) 1x Xavier Woods (UPC: 887961833867) 1x Big E (UPC: 887961833911) 2x Roman Reigns (UPC: 887961833898) 2x Daniel Bryan (UPC: 887961833874) Basic 112 1x Bobby Lashley (UPC:887961976748) 3x Seth Rollins (UPC:887961834741) 2x Adam Cole (UPC:887961914252) 4x Braun Strowman (UPC:887961834789) 2x Sasha Banks (UPC:887961834758) Does any real thought go into how these are packed? Recently they put one each of the Street Profits with four each of A.J. Styles & Roman. So the Street Profits are gone instantly and they are stuck with all those AJs & Romans then each time they reorder they get four more which should be upsetting to the stores. Now this set has four Braun per case which will be hard to sell. Then with Elites they only get one each and tend to pack the weakest figures two per case. Then the stores only get one case at a time which makes it hard for everyone to have a fair chance at getting the figures. It seems like now that Kmart & Toys r us are gone, Walmart & Target would get more since there is two less stores for the figures to go.

I understand that they want bigger names to always be available but when you take into account how often they are slotted into basic, elite, top talents, battle packs that's more than enough. 1 per case with regular elites is fine.

I gotta be honest, I haven’t gone into a store and seen any of one figure in basic or elite form since Elite Nikki Bella and Basic 98 Finn. Other than those every figure sells.

Entertainment Earth has 79 up for preorder, confirming the lineup. But I can't find any mention of who's the chase figure. Also they seem to have it listed for October - do other places get them that late after RSC usually? I can't imagine RSC's getting E79 that much later than 78, which is scheduled for next month.

Mattel are really going for manufactured appeal by waiting literal years to make a bald Baron Corbin

Pretty sure the chase figure for E79 is Fish. Then O'Reilly is the chase for E80.
