I like them, but I still haven't found series 3.

They sell well here. The only ones that have sat around here are Walmart's play sets.

I personally love the rumblers line. Only two I a missing are edge and miz and I'm just waiting on the ones with accessories. While series 1 has been over purchased by stores, they can't keep series two on the shelf. And for all those asking, the rest of series 3 hasn't been released yet.

They're still warming the shelves @ my local TRU,K-mart,and Target.In terms of retailers buying them they're a huge success because they are cheaper than all the other lines so I can imagine retailers buy a crap load expecting them to sell quickly only to have them sit on the shelves(in my area anyways)
And dont even get me started on the FlexForce Line....

Not at all. I just wish I could find Series 3 other than Kane/Rey & Taker/Henry Yeah man, me too. They must be releasing them periodically or something.

I think Mattel says they sell well because the retailers are buying them. Now, if you were asking the stores how they sell I think you might get a different answer. Bingo! I agree with this 100%. I think another problem with the Rumblers is the fact that they have rereleased the same figures several times. For example the exact same Undertaker figure has been released in a single pack, 2 pack w/Henry, with casket accessory, and in the TRU 7 pack. Most people aren't going to buy the same figure over and over again. I do like the line and have at least one of every person made (minus series 3), but they do warm the shelves pretty bad in my area.

I feel that Mattel took a step in the right direction with this line. But they really need to pick up their game on releasing new series'...

I will throw my 2 pence in here. I loved the idea of these it was a great way for me to get my kids into wrestling as they were the same scale as the batman action league figures. We bought the ring the 3play sets and got all the other figures and they were awesome. Heres my problem and where I lost interest why is about a quater of series 2 the same damn figures as series 1? I want Miz I ahve to get another Kofi that is exactly the same as the one I already got same with Big Show and HHH. In the UK we got series one as single figures and 2 packs but I have yet to see series 2 as single packs.

I like them and the cartoony idea behind them, plus the playsets and everything, though I'd have loved to see more realistic Mini Figures, like the way Jakks did the Micro Aggression Line. The only thing I have to really complain about this line is the paint: it comes off very easily and since my son loves to play with those, I have to buy two of each figure to have one without missing paint or have paint on from other figures. My Rumblers Truck is on the way and I'll do a Review as soon as I have it in hand.

It doesn't matter if you consider them a failure.

Maybe people buy them so they can have WWE vs DC bouts with the similar DC Action League figures

I think they are pretty cool. They are good play figures for kids and good display figures for us.

A failure on what level? Meaning you don't like them? They're one of Mattel's best selling lines for WWE.

I'd rather they do all Rumblers as the "kids" line over Flex Force. Agreed. That way they sorta stay out of the way of the real figures and then kids can still enjoy the Rumblers.

That way they sorta stay out of the way of the real figures and then kids can still enjoy the Rumblers. a lot of kids probably don't distinguish between basic, elite, and Flexforce. Recently I saw a mom and her son at TRU buying wrestling figures. First Mom talked him out of buying another Rey (yay Mom!). Then he picked up DM Rock, looked like they were buying. Then he picked up R-Truth flexforce, another buy. When he took the figures home I doubt he cared a flexforce was fighting a DM.

Mattel says they and Flex Force are their best sellers. I cant understand how because every toy store Ive ever been to has had a crap ton of them clogging shelves. Haha what a joke. Their best sellers eh.

I don't like them but I can see why kids do but don't see what adults get out of them
