If I were Mattel, I would release 2 twopacks each year, making the order this: Rockers in November '11 Andre in January '12 Single in March '12 2Pack in May '12 Single in July '12 Single in September '12 2Pack in November '12 and just follow that pattern. Release Liz with Macho in a 2pack, throw the Brainbusters together in a 2pack, gives 2 other people chances to be made. Even if they make a 2pack with one repaint, so be it. Definetly , We Need More Legends I wouldnt Mind if they just changed the 2 packs to 12 packs lol I second That! I sure hope they do quite a bit legend exclusives, DM, Flashbacks. I know legends market is not that great and Mattel had to do what they had to do, but dont want to lose us collectors that do buy or be bored waiting 2 months for 1-2 legends figs. Mattel should consider an Exclusive line of Legends for Toys R us! Only fitting since its the largest retail toy chain. Maybe a 5 figure asst evey qaurter (3 months). call em Wrestlemania flashbacks or something. And use popular guys/attires from WM matches. Or switch the line every 3 months from WM to Summerslam to SS to Royal Rumble Flashbacks. 1 set of each every year. 20 figs per yr.

Bill said something about a possible future retail exclusive, I want that to happen so bad, I have a fever and the only cure is more legends. My ulti. Survivor series 4 pack would be, Earthquake, dino bravo, haku and barbarian

I bought a custom SS87 Main Event set (Both teams w/Heenan,Slick,Humperdink,Ref) of LJN's about 8 yrs ago. Paid $600 for that set. Sold it a few yrs ago for $700.

I liked 16 of the 17 names on the list, so I'm happy with the results. Two of my top picks (Elizabeth and King Kong Bundy) made the cut and the remaining three were still among my top ten so all of the 2012 lineup are instant buys for me. I really wish Matty's offers a WWE Legends subscription soon. I already created my account to buy some SDCC exclusives but it's a nerve-racking process to wait in the queue, unsure if your items will still be in stock by the time you checkout!

That list is an easy pass for me. Until a Flair is released Tully and Arn are easy passes for me which has me realizing how board I am with Mattel already.

Let the complaining commence!
3 out of 5 picks for me. Good, not great. About what I expected it to be. I'm okay with Arn and Tully making it to appease you NWA fans, I'll pick them up, too, but I'm glad Magnum and Windham didn't make it, that would have been just too much NWA.
I do hope they make everybody eventually. It's too bad Mattel wants to sell 10 million of every figure. There are a ton of guy that Jakks made that Mattel wouldn't even think about making (old school guys, ladies, managers, Johnny Rodz), and that sucks.

I got four of of the five that I wanted. I voted for Magnum TA instead of King Kong Bundy, but overall I'm happy with the list.
I'd rather have TA over DDP, but, so is life.

Elite Flair would be awsome..I'd want one just like the Hasbro one Just like the Galoob and one from his WM24 match for starters

DDP's a must if I can get him cheap, the rest....not so much. I'd consider Arn, Tully, and Bundy if they were sold at retail, but I've heard Mattycollector's a nightmare, so there's pretty much no way I'm getting them. Elizabeth's a non-factor for me. I really don't understand why she's in the line, when there are plenty of actual wrestlers that are far more deserving, IMO.

Kinda surprised with the results but hopefully Demolition Crush comes out as an Elite Flashback in 13 or 14. I think Anderson and Blanchard should be a two pack, then add 2 others from the list. I'll get them all anyway to support the line.

Out of the five chosen I only voted for DDP. I have a feeling some of these figure are going to be on Matty Collector for a long time. Yeah...like DDP.

Ware or Giant Gonzalez or any of the LJNs any day.

But why dont you go ahead and get Arn and Tully (probably cheaper) and then wait for Flair. You know he's going to be released eventually. The simple answer is I don't believe something will happen until it does. Flair would be an easy sell and as soon as he is available Mattel will produce a Flair, as long as Ric doesn't do something that places him into Owen/Beniot/Chyna territory. Beyond that I have doubts of seeing any of the other notable Horsemen making me wonder if it would have to be the 3 Horsemen. If the figures are as good as they are touted as being price won't matter so I doesn't matter if they are cheaper now or later, I can wait until Slick Ric gets made. Hell by then Mattel may even be so excited about Ric signing they may be willing to produce a Horsemen box set.
