Well safe to assume we wont see any non big names getting elites for awhile which sucks cause i cant feed my elite ryback jobbers such as
David O Tunga or Alex Riley
And with the tag divison getting better was hoping to get
Darren Young and Titus O' Neil
Jimmy and Jey Uso
Still great choices by mattel just hope we can get a newer tag team out there before next Sdcc :-)

We may get some Usos considering their status has increased recently.

Yeah, I hope PTP and the Usos get the Elite treatment soon. Hopefully, the latter can keep up the momentum they've gained the past couple of weeks.

i know it stinks. Yoshi Tatsu's E10 release is a good representation of how awesome the elite line COULD be.

Count me in as wanting to see Elite PTP and Uso figures. I don't think Mattel is going the Elite route with anyone who is not on TV. They are better off repainting a Rey than taking a risk with someone like Otunga, who hasn't been on TV forever. Just business really. The jobber crew has really been relegated off of Raw anyway for the most part. We barely see those guys. Ryder is really about it and Mattel still makes him, or at least gave him his day in the sun. I think instead of jobbers, we are starting to see more managers in the Basic line because most people have a figure at this point. Which is ok with me honestly.

sorry but with 125267 sets coming out per year from Mattel I don't see any logical reason why we can't get Elites and Basics of every superstar on the active roster.
You mean to tell me that the 100th Randy Orton released this year will sell better or more than a new Basic "3MB" Drew McIntyre?
Or the 15th Elite Rey Mysterio will sell more than an Elite David Otunga?
I'm a collector to the core, I like complete rosters. It makes everything more fun. There needs to be a balance. We're getting a great assortment of superstars, don't get me wrong....but David Otunga has been an active employee on the main roster and used on television for over 3 years. There is ZERO good reason why he doesn't have even one Elite.

Justin Gabriel, Zeke Jackson, Heath Slader, Zach Ryder, Santino, there's been a decent amount in the past few elite waves.

I still think they should make the Battle Packs have elite articulation instead of giving them throw-away accessories like stop signs, unpainted belts, etc. I'd rather get Elite-articulation two-packs with no accessories than basic articulation packs with anything.

Elite 2 Packs sold like crap, that's one thing I feel Mattel figures lack is variety. I love elites & it's sucks the only way I can get elite figures from a store is one wave & one line. |

I'm surprised there haven't been Elite 2-Packs Exclusive to Ringside. This would be the most likely way we'd get teams like the Uso's, PTP, and older teams like APA.

I have no right to complain about this, but an NXT figure series would be awesome even though I don't watch NXT.
Also, once in a while I wish we could get a local competitor, especially THIS GUY:
Didn't know he was from my state til now, just makes him more awesome.

Justin Gabriel, Zeke Jackson, Heath Slader, Zach Ryder, Santino, there's been a decent amount in the past few elite waves. Santino is the only current one. JGabe, Slater and Ryder all look different now. We need all the lower card guys made in Elite. They also need to go back and remake Trent Barreta in Elite form. |

You've got a better shot at getting a Jakks Deluxe Impact Trent (or whatever his name is now in TNA) than a Mattel Elite, lol. |
