Danny Davis BAF. I didn't think we'd ever get a referee in the line, and I especially didn't think we'd ever get a classic WWF ref.
Currently, I'm excited for Paul Ellering, the suited Million Dollar Man, and Legends 8 Jake Roberts in green.
As for the MOST excited I've EVER been purchasing a figure, the first couple of TMNT waves in 1988 would probably be the winner.

I was happy to find a Freddie Blassie at Walmart for $15, but that’s been it recently for WWE’s offerings.
There are so many other toy lines to get excited for than Elites.

If we’re only talking Mattel, warlord and berserker stand out as moments of overwhelming excitement.

Searching for the Target exclusive Rocky Maivia.
I went to 2 Targets and the second one had it (I traveled far from home for this). On top of this the guy who picked up the figure for me from the back was also an Elite collector and he didnt even know that this figure was releasing. So I helped myself and another collector get one too.

In stores? When Jakks BCA series 2 through like 5 came out after finding series 1 at TRU. Yes, I'm that old.
Now? Online? AEW and WALTER pre-order.

Ever? Probably BCA Series 4 when I found it at Walmart.
Mattel? DM 1 Savage. Never thought we'd get another figure of him and never thought we'd get Mania VII if we did.

Aw man, I remember being really excited for the Ringside Exclusive Mattel Brood Hardy Boyz. I missed out on the Deluxe Classic Jakks ones so I was ALL OVER these. Also AEW Unrivaled Series 1 and 2!
Also TNA ToyBiz Series 1. AJ was and still is my favorite of all time so it was a huge moment for me as a kid.

Always excited to find the elite store exclusives so I don't end up having to pay twice as much on ebay for them.

Mr. T, easily! I'm a huge Mr. T fan and never thought he would get a WWE figure, plus I felt like I was gonna have a stroke getting in an order on Mattel's collector site. (I was totally oblivious to the EE preorders until it was too late.)

Since I was a kid then it was definitely when I first walked into a toy store to buy the Retros. I was SO excited when the news of the line reached me several months before they were finally released, and I was always studying the images of the figures, the packaging photos, the rumours of further releases, etc., counting-down the days and tracking news of them turning-up in store, but I was quite relaxed when the day finally came when I could walk into Smyths for the first time ever to look for the Retros, but my God the feeling I got when I first saw them on the pegs in front of me I can’t describe it, it was so intense: those figures on those cards, right in front of me, all lined-up perfectly; I can’t tell you how amazing I felt seeing them - picking them up off the pegs, looking at them up close, comparing them in my own hands - it was like being 9 years old again with the Hasbros; unbelievable feeling, and something I never thought I’d experience again. I can’t wait to experience that feeling again when series 11 hits the pegs

Sticking to Mattel Recently When I found Flair and Savage (series 9) Retros at Five Below. 10 years ago: When i saw the first series of Legends figures at Walmart. I purchased both Road Warriors. I sold them years ago though

I can’t wait to experience that feeling again when series 11 hits the pegs yes same, I didn't mention it in my post, but seeing the first series was pretty awesome. I actually didn't get anyone until they released Warrior and Taker. Because series 2 was taking forever to come out, i went back and picked up Reigns and Owens. I'm happy i did that

Most recent: Hollywood Hogan. Been waiting 5 years for this figure, of course I was psyched.

Kerry and Kevin Von Erich (my childhood favorites) Miss Elizabeth
The nWo Hollywood Hogan Storm figure has been one that I appreciate more and more as time goes on.

Unless I missed something I’m shocked no one has made a joke regarding the title

For some reason it was The BAF John Laurinaitis set.
I found Cena in December 2012 followed by Sin Cara and Sheamus in January. Christian was a pain to find but luckily I ended up find him a few months later. The joy of completing a set and having all the parts to build Johny was satisfying lmao.
