So it's Rock from SS last year, that means he'll have a brahma bull on both sides of his trunks right? At least that (and the goatee) will make the figure a little different from the other one.

So the flashbacks are basically 2 of the same guy. Hopefully E17 will have 2 new flashbacks we have not seen before like E14 with Booker and Bossman.

Damn, sold out already. I might order some individual guys. I like that they are finally making a Ladder that comes with an elite figure.
I never ordered a whole set before, but if they restock will it be the same price for the set?

By now everyone should get the idea that Elite pre-orders are the same every time. They put up a maximum amount for 1st shipping (very minimum). For the first hour everyone whine & complained for several pages. Than a hour after they put up back orders, for $10 cheaper, like they've always done. Mattel is a huge brand & these figures are worth $25+ because of the quality, demand & brand name recognition. I understand it's nice to get our figures asap & everyone we want (I do), it takes 8-12-16months to plan, create & release new figures from scratch. I'm sure the fig Bill mentioned got bump was Riley. He had basics then after Miz feud he was on SuperStars & off tv. This was around the same time as Slater & Ezekial's tv push time, a year ago. The Rock sells & Orton will probably be the last Elite, hopefully for a year. I'm pretty excited for Diesel & nWo Nash! This is not a rant or complaint, just my opinion as we all have one

WCW Giant is probably the next flashback.

I check my phone on FB & saw the post it was up for Elite 16 at 7:30et after my mma class, then hit the gym & got back in time to order $10 cheaper at 930et. Now I see it's +$10 as Nash & Diesel are up to $35! This is probably the most demanding series since Elite 7 (DX, Horns, Harts & Cena). I'm happy I waited to order E16, as I order Sin, Yoko, Negro, Mahal & several others for a of total $480

A WCW Giant will be a good one. I hope he is the E17 flashback! If so the giant will be legend number 51 for those keeping score!

Is it just me or does it feel like this set is going faster than others. I personally think more people are sick of retail and more people are ordering than usual. I know I am going to order I just have to wait for approval from the wife first... I should know in the next 1/2 hour

$150 to get 6 figures a month later... one in which I'm not even sure WHICH I'll get (Nash or Diesel)... I think not, RSC. Haha How much was the complete set for pre-order? $160? This is becoming a joke anymore. Paid $120 for Elite 15 pre-order (first shipment) and now they expect me to pay $30 more for the same amount of figures and to receive them a month after the first shipment? Ha! Get real. It says in the listing that you get ALL 7 figures for 150 bucks. There will be no repeats of orton or anybody else in there I dont think.

I stand corrected, hahaha Thanks! Who is 2 per case, then. If Nash and Diesel are .5 per case? My guess is Orton haha, of COURSE. Repeating from post above, it says you get ALL 7 figures, it doesnt say either diesel or nash , thats why the price of this complete set is higher than the last one. The ones that go to box stores and such probably wont have both diesel and nash in it, just one or the other.

It probably has something to do with the countless E16 prediction threads and the Anti-Retail threads that have created a craze over this series. Let's hope all series aren't like this in the future

Ordered the Diesel and Kevin Nash. It would be cool if the elites would go up to 7 per set, to include extra flashbacks we've seen protos of One Man Gang and WCW Giant.
in Legends 6 we got Kerry Von Erich and Texas Tornado in Elite 16 Diesel and Kevin Nash
the future possibilities could be good Foley as Debut Mankind, Corporate Mankind, Cactus Jack and Dude Love Crush Demolition, Kona, Heel, Kronik Adam Bomb, Wrath, Kronik Tito Santana, El Matador
