As easy as this was it has me a little worried that maybe they didn't get a lot of buyers. Hopefully friday had something to do with this b/c our legends line is really riding on this and the singles sales i would say.

It would be a different story if He Man or DC Universe was on sale, then the site gets backed up and you have the white screen of death. Just wait for Andre. The Rockers just aren't as popular as He Man or She Ra. If the set doesn't sell out within a couple days it is considered a failure by Mattel. Yeah guys, I can't stress enough what Boy Wonder has said above. The Rockers aren't as popular as Andre and it probably helped that they weren't on sale when He-Man or DC Universe is on sale. For those of you who have never ordered on the He-Man/DC sale day - it can be a nightmare because of the the shear volume that their servers can't take. But like I've always said, He-Man fans only have the toy line to collect, WWE fans have more than the toys so don't ever think that we'll solicit the large volumes of sales that He-man would. Andre the Giant will be the true test - and pray that they don't release him on a He-Man/DC day.

I was scared, but it went by like a breeze.

Well we're at least guaranteed the 6 figures next year regardless of how they sell. I hope they do well but this doesn't seem like it's going to sell out in a matter of days like the MOTU stuff does. I did my part, I ordered 2, 1 for a friend that otherwise wouldn't have access to them, so they better not come at us when the online sales are a failure and say "You should've bought more"!

Well, I sure hope these do move as I'd like to be ordering more Legends in the future into 2012. You and me both. I really liked Mattel's "Fan Poll" to determine what superstars should be made. I hope we have another selection at the end of next year.

Guys, I really don't think we have much to worry about with the Legends line. Just by judging from these boards alone, there is a lot of buzz about this set and all the others. I'm sure that there are 100's of other collectors that don't post here. These are selling well enough to continue making them.

They'll sell more than the Piper/Bob Orton and Sheik/Volkoff packs. Thanks Mattel. Long overdue!

Well, I sure hope these do move as I'd like to be ordering more Legends in the future into 2012. Me, too, but $40 with shipping is pretty pricey. I can see a lot of folks passing on these, leaving them only to the hardcore collectors. The $23 MattelShop deal was much nicer!

A little more than I wanted to spend but what you gonna do. So that pretty much means Andre and the rest will be over $30 with tax n shipping

I did my part, I ordered 2, 1 for a friend that otherwise wouldn't have access to them, so they better not come at us when the online sales are a failure and say "You should've bought more"! That's exactly what I see them doing after next year. If the line is a failure (and I personally think it will be) they will blame it on us saying "hey we let you pick in the poll who you wanted so it's your fault you didn't buy them". Yet countless times we told them the poll was broken and they didn't even bother to acknowledge it.

Imagine if Yoko, Bossman and King Booker were included? Just saying...

Me, too, but $40 with shipping is pretty pricey. I can see a lot of folks passing on these, leaving them only to the hardcore collectors. $40 for two Legends figures is a steal to me! I've paid £20-25 (so about $30-35) each for most single Legends figures because I've had to buy them from import stores.

If it is, it could be the same situation such as the WWE, (only go with what makes them the most $$$$ "i.e. WWE = Tons & Tons of John Cena; Mattel = tons and tons of current superstars). We're only going to be on the receiving end of what sells the best. Since I didn't collect the CS line from JAKKS, I would be bummed if they cancel legends and Flashback figures, but, if they don't make mattel the (slick Voice) MONAY. Understandably, so.
