This thread is hilarious. You're mad because you've bought them all? Hmm, I wonder why they keep making them? Mark Exactly and there's a huge difference in what "won't sell" and what you won't buy. I personally don't need a new Rey Mysterio every single series. I think I can go 2 months without needing to see a new one. But the kids go crazy over him and he sells quite well. So should Mattel stop making them? No. I want nothing more than the next Basics set (16) to feature Trent Baretta, Curt Hawkins, Jinder Mahal, Kharma, Sin Cara (with Sin Cara negro varient) and Tyler Reks but the fact is that the only people who'd buy the full set are the people on here. Not the mass consumers. We seem like the majority because we are the collectors, but we aren't. Therefore we'll get them from RSC. Then when the mass retail is flooded with these guys, the kids aren't bothered and don't buy them. Place becomes over-saturated with figures. The companies reports suggest figures don't sell. The order levels drop. Mattel loses money. Mattel makes cuts. |

Ok I'm not buying this stuff for the ring I want the other stuff that is included. It sucks that I have to add another ring to my collection of "I don't want that". I simply complain about how Mattel is screwing people and almost everyone is defending their crap. All I can say is whatever at least I'm voicing my opinion about this crap rather than sitting there good and happy when they bend you over and give it to ya dry.

You have every right to voice your opinion but the way you do it is pretty insulting. How can you say that Mattel is screwing people? That implies that they go out of their way to make sure you are getting jipped out of something. You are also forgetting that not everyone buying these sets already has a ring. I didn't have any basic Mattel rings when I bought the TLC set. There is no problem with bringing up things you like and dislike but there is no reason to call the people at Mattel stupid and accuse them of screwing people over. |

Yeah i dont see it as Mattel screwing us over.. i mean ppl complain amongst different issues too everyday saying Mattel is giving us the screw job but i just dont see it that way ya know. Im one of those dudes who understands reason before assuming there screwing us and too me there really not at all. They give us great quality products at still an affordable price. The only thing that sucks too me about them is all there repaint in series of guys. Other than that im fine with it..
I can respect your opinion though and that sucks you see it that way man.. Have you ever thought about selling those extra rings you get in the sets? I mean, who cares if you take a loss on selling a basic ring for $10 too someone at least you get some of your cash back and get rid of a ring ya know.. that would be my plan if i got too many from buying them and wanting accessories ya know..

THEY INCLUDE THE RING SO THE PLAY-SET IS COMPLETE!
Not cause they are trying to screw you personally. And it's not us defending Mattel as much as it is us having some common sense.
