I ordered 5 sets of the Rockers top split between me and a few friends. I hope they moved in good numbers so they will do some more tag teams. Rougeau Bros., Money Inc., HeadBaangers, Natural Disasters.
I think if the do Doink it has to be Heel Doink as I thought that was the best of the character the creepy circus music, making the kids cry, Matt Borne made the character great. Face/Jobber Doink will still sell because of the colorful outfit Jakks made 3 and they all sold very well.
Hopefully in future elite sets Demolition Crush

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. I doubt that. Mattel has said for an item to be successful on Matty Collector they need it to sell out in minutes. Not days or hours but minutes. The fact that it has been for sale for nearly three hours as of this posting and it has yet to even see an almost gone image put up is not a great sign in the eyes of Mattel. Yeah, that does suck. It seems like Mattel only really loves products that appeal to scalpers. I guess the Rockers don't have a high enough scalpability level. I bought the Legion of Super-Heroes pack from Matty that sold out in a few hours - I guess that was a success, but I just felt bad for people that missed out. There's got to be a happy medium out there somewhere - where the buyer and seller are both satisfied - but Mattel can't seem to find it.

Another funny thing; 4.5 hours AFTER I ordered my 2 2-packs, I receive an e-mail from mattycollector.com with header "WWE Legends The Rockers ON SALE NOW!" So, I don't think they regard it a failure when something ISN'T sold out within minutes...

They have said in multiple Q&A's that the website isn't budgeted out to sell items for a long period of time. They just don't have the money set up for that to work. So to be able to offer a certain product especially one that doesn't have a subscription set up for it they need it to sell out almost instantly.

I find that hard to believe; their site is a couple of years old, it exists... Whether say Green Lantern is on it a day or a week, doesn't really matter. AFAIK you don't pay your website when content changes, you pay once a year or so. If they feel that way, they should send out their mails on time (IE. on 9AM PST, not on 1.30PM PST)...

For a long time the website was useless for 29 of 30 days. After one hour everything was sold out with only figure stands remaining and that was how they wanted it to be. Mattel has always said that they don't have the budget to pay for the storage of the figures when it comes to Matty Collector for an extended period of time. For some reason they just don't. They have it set up where they can offer them for an extended period before they will just pull them from the site regardless if the item sells out or not. For it to really work for them they mentioned they have to have the item sell as quickly as possible.

When they posted that the figures were available on their own facebook page, to say the reaction was less than spectacular, would be an understatement... I think it had around 5 comments, total. and 16 likes yesterday afternoon.
Now it's up to a whopping 6 comments and 23 likes...
