I'd say Ryder will be in the next series, at least I hope.
I'm kind've glad he wasn't in this one, or I would have missed the original pre-order, and would have had to paid a ridiculous amount.

I don't like the not knowing which of the 2 I'll get (between Nash and Diesel), so ordering the whole set is a tough decision. I'd even order the other one, if I knew which came with the case I order. I'd just hate to assume I'll get Nash, order a Diesel, then end up with two Diesels and no Nash... or vice versa. Either way, I'll have to wait until next Friday to comfortably have the funds. its not one or the other, if you order the whole set of 7 for 149.99 you get BOTH of them

I'd be willing to put money on Alex Riley being the one who got pulled.

Notes on this set: Rock will be from Survivor Series with goatee Diesel is Old School Diesel from 1994-1995. Nash is in Red with NWO version of the World title. Randy Orton was put in assortment when it was thought we would need another Elite Orton at retail in 2012. Obviously with the E12 Orton sticking around a lot longer on the pegs than we would have liked this was not the case, but with Elite we have to plan almost a year out to account for extras like accessories and soft goods. We actually toyed with removing him completely from the assortment but could not, as we had to remove another figure who's TV time fell off the face of the earth to add Rock, and did not have another standby choice ready to go. In any case he will actually be somewhat rare as he is not being produced in a great number. Heath Slater's outfit is one we can only really reproduce accurately in Elite due to the amount of deco. He will include a brand new accessory as well, our first ever Elite Super Sized Ladder ( to commemorate his participation in Money in the Bank last year). Thanks Bill hmm i wonder who that was? maybe alex riley? either way thanks for the update! ordered both nash and diesel because i know spending the extra money now will be better than looking all over the place. I also would have gotten the rock if it was a flashback as I'm not interested in the more current version. How can I forget Alex Riley. I'm pretty sure it was him. Once they cut him off with Miz, he hasn't done anything except the Royal Rumble and that was it.

Totally forgot Heath was in Money in the Bank. I'm happy I ordered the whole set even if it's on back order. The time is gonna fly for me anyway now that I'm getting around to taking the CPA exam. My day is pretty much get up, shower, eat, study, go to work, come home, eat a late dinner, study until 1 or 2 am, then go to sleep and repeat the process the next day. If I pass all the parts the first time I take them, I should be finishing up the test right around when these come in.

Some of the posts in this thread are hilarious and also a little pathetic. It's like life revolves around wrestling figures for some of you. You're not going to die because you have to wait an extra month to get your Kevin Nash figure. Good grief!!! This a pretty solid set, but I will take my chances on finding them at retail. If I don't find them, then oh well. Elites aren't nearly as difficult to find at retail as some of the recent short-packed basic figures, at least in my area. Finding both Nash figures may be a challenge, but I don't see any of the others being too difficult. So because you're a casual collector, and many of us are hardcore collector's we're pathetic? I think you're pathetic thinking you're going to take your chances at retail. Think what you like about us, but remember us when your trecking from store to store wasting gas, time & mileage chasing down your Kevin Nash figure in late August/September meanwhile we already have our figures.

We get mixed information all the time - Kofi was confirmed for this, I thought? And the whole Flashback Christian thing from the Q&A that turned out to be nothing. I know stuff changes, it's just strange. Fantastic to hear that there will be 7 figures in this set. I'm pretty sure Diesel being "from 1994-1995" was said to clarify that it's not the Royal Rumble return Diesel, which is good news. I'm hoping for one of his later mid-90s looks, with less mullet and more white tanktop. I'm sure it'll look awesome no matter what, especially since Mattel are so good with making new molds for people, and Diesel needs one for his legs. They can just reuse it for that Outsiders Nash (YES!). Glad Orton isn't being produced as heavily. Better make him a "once a year" Elite, with NO BEST OF re-releases. Slater is a strange choice for an Elite figure, ditto for Zeke - both of whom have had such lame-duck careers so far. I imagine Zeke might come with the IC title...and it might be the last time we see that particular belt before they introduce the neo-old school IC title with a future Cody. Cool that Heath is coming with the jumbo ladder. That'll help move units for sure. If I recall, we were told on the Matty forum (or somewhere) that the new Punk won't be in his SummerSlam '11 attire as presumed. I'm gonna guess his Chicago Bulls attire instead, with the BITW shirt and mic. I'm only interested in the Flashback Nash figures and Punk from this set, but I'm definitely looking forward to them a lot. Now we need a Hall to go with our Outsiders Nash...

MDT, if you can answer this, what happened to Kofi in this set? I thought he was initially confirmed?

This could be one of the best Elie sets of all time. Diesel, Punk, Zeke and Orton (I need to buy a bearded one). Wow I can't wait.

Zeke will be bald. Kofi is coming very soon. He is actually in the series after this one. I kinda accidentally put him in this lineup when I answered a question once but he is confirmed in next one. In a very cool Mattel appropriate attire I might add....
