Punk doing an Elite Squad thing makes me believe we might so a few Punks outside the MC Exclusive. Can’t wait.

What an ignorant comment. I'm not sure if you even follow WWE, because if you did you would know that Gunther is the longest reigning IC champ. For all German speaking countries, he's probably the greatest champion of all time. Also, I had written that it would make sense marketing-wise, as there are several PLEs coming up in Europe. Vinci and Kaiser should have been announced in the Elite Lines a long time ago. The reunion at Clash of the Castle would have been a fitting moment. I would argue that the LWO multipack should never have been produced now in your view. Nah. LWO pack was made after a historical night for the faction. It wasn’t just a pack made because they exist. Gunther has had his reign, but Imperium have done squat on the main roster. Maybe if something monumental happens with them at Backlash (doubtful), we could see a pack commemorating it. The point is that Mattel go after special moments. Not putting out factions for the sake of it. This aged well…

Steve mentioned more tag teams coming to MC. So obviously they plan to do Elite 2-packs on MC, as they claim retail isn’t an option.

Steiner 2 pack has to be next. No way they don’t release 90s tag team steiners

lwo has done jack sh¡t besides rey’s not even 3 month us title reign Proves my point even more. You don't need to be in a prominent position to get a Mattel Creations exclusive. That should actually be a good thing. I like that we have a way to get more characters out there. I bought the LWO 5-pack and I will surely buy the Imperium figures. Can't wait!

We are getting Imperium on Mattel Creations. You didn't think that was possible because they didn't have a "historical moment." Well... it's happening. And that's great news!

You didn't think that was possible because they didn't have a "historical moment." Well... it's happening. And that's great news! It's really surprising to see Mattel not releasing an Imperium-3-Pack in Elite form. I've said it several times before, with the upcoming European PLEs and popularity clearly on the rise again, Mattel is missing a huge opportunity here. There used to be at least some basic 3-packs, I'd be happy with even that. It's not like Gunther and Kaiser are warming the stores. Seriously, do you just not read full posts on the forum? It’s what me and the other member were discussing. The likelihood of a Imperium 3-pack. I said no likely, then LWO was brought up as a comparison. Hence the “historical moment”. Because highly doubt we’d ever see Del Toro/Wilde Elites if this 5-pack wasn’t created.

LWO was made because Mattel Creations is able to offer us these characters and sets that may not be possible to offer in stores. Hence an elite Imperium 2 pack. This elite Imperium 2-pack proves that a moment isn’t what drives their decisions. They could have easily made this a 3-pack, but they decided to make it a 2-pack. If anything, that even further proves the point that we can get more characters without some additional significance because it probably would have sold better with a matching Gunther and they still chose to make it a 2-pack(just to note, I don’t actually consider Imperium to be lesser character like some others here do).

Beyond excited for Imperium. I have doubles of the basic Kaiser & Vinci, along with numerous Gunther’s. I saw Ringside posted them; will it be a RS exclusive or is it them just showing what they’ll eventually have down the road? I just know they didn’t post the other stuff so that had me wondering.

Steve and Bill have literally said that the set idea was created to celebrate their involvement at Backlash in Puerto Rico. Gear worn at Backlash to commemorate the event, etc.

I hope with punk being at the reveals that they will show off a few UEs.
