No offense on you, but most of the people that are/were bitchin' about DA/DI are now buying ELITE style Classics... so what's the point? I think it's not the Problem that Jakks isn't listening, they did so much for the Wrestling Figure community, when it comes to innovative ideas. And now they only get bashed because they are trying to get the best out of a license that is by far not that lucrative as the WWE license was. The problem (in my opinion) for us collectors is, that not only Jakks, but also MATTEL are producing those lines for MASS RETAIL. They have to earn money out of it, and if a line doesn't sell, it get's cancelled. MATTEL packaged their negative News for the Legends line in a positive way by saying "we did the new case breakdown for the customer" while Jakks only answered the hard way: do we get the Micro Impact Playset? NO. Straight but fair. I hope to see some Micro's throughout the next some years in one or another way and if not, I still have my great WWE, TNA and UFC Mini Figures with Playsets and accessories.

NO. Straight but fair. Sorry, but this is pretty much the bottom line. If you truly want to save the Micro line, instead of petitions or lengthy threads, quite simply, get your friends together, go to the Toys R Us stores in your area, and buy all of the Micros that are currently on the shelves. If everyone would do this, the line would continue. JAKKS needs to make a profit. The combination of the collapse of the world economy + losing the WWE license has gutted JAKKS. They are not going to regain what they lost with the TNA license unless people buy their TNA products.

Jakks doesn't listen to their customers, this thread is pointless. Not trying to hate, just speaking the truth. If they did care about their customers they'd 'have kept the RA/RI style figures for the TNA line. I think this line is crap. They've made some really nice DI figures. You can't please all the people all the time. I'm just tired of hearing that just because a company doesn't make what YOU want, they don't care about ANY of their customers at all.

Sorry, but this is pretty much the bottom line. If you truly want to save the Micro line, instead of petitions or lengthy threads, quite simply, get your friends together, go to the Toys R Us stores in your area, and buy all of the Micros that are currently on the shelves. If everyone would do this, the line would continue. I agree; We can complain all we want but if the micro figures don't sell in stores, Jakks won't have a reason to continue making them. What we really need is for the casual collector to pick up some micro sets and give the line a chance. I still think they're the best deal out there for wrestling toys. You get 3 micro guys and an accessory for only $6. The new WWE Rumblers are about the same price but Jakks' micros have a lot more articulation and better details for such a tiny scale. Matt Morgan, for example, has a clean "blueprint" logo on the back of his trunks that's a perfect recreation of his attire. I just got a $10-off-a-$50-purchase coupon from TRU. I'm planning on picking up extra micro sets for customs plus the UFC micro octagon playset to convert into an Impact Zone! Those who also enjoy customizing their micros should pick up TNA sets now, while they're still in stores. I think this line is crap. They've made some really nice DI figures. You can't please all the people all the time. I'm just tired of hearing that just because a company doesn't make what YOU want, they don't care about ANY of their customers at all. I don't know; From the looks of it, Jakks isn't really making what MOST of their customers want right now. I mean, look at the track record so far... Deluxe Impact/CTL 2-Packs: Their flagship lines, that're currently the ONLY ones they're still producing, and yet they've barely gotten 3 series in stores. All upcoming lineups are continuously delayed and some scheduled as far back as 2012?! Ruthless Impact: The most heavily demanded line by collectors and yet, Jakks only made them available to drug stores and still cancelled them after 1 series! Oops, sorry...They're officially "On Hold" but I still feel that's Jakks' way of saying, "Let's not talk about those until we actually get some stores to carry any of our stuff." Legends of the Ring: Canceled after only 1 set with the 2nd set reduced to chase figures that have yet to show up anywhere, except RSC exclusive Jeff Hardy! AWA/NWA & New Japan: Apparently still trying to get people to sign after over a year of having the license! The only figure to finally show up as an exclusive is...another Sting?! Micro Impact: Canceled after only 1 series, despite Series 2 being produced and Series 3 advertised in the prototype stages. Now, the only stores that got Series 2 micros are in Dubai or India?! Sure, you can't please everybody but I don't see how any current Jakks collector could be pleased with any of this, unless they're Jeff Hardy, Sting, or Hogan fans. It seems they're the only figures that Jakks is committed to produce regularly.
