Hasn't mattel hacked the flex force line? Every store has them on clearance and I thought Target marked them "not carrying forward" or something. Yes, I believe Flex Force is done. Target, Walmart, and Kmart all have the figures on clearance along with all of the Flex Force rings too. Plus, the newest retail cubes had no Flex Force product when all previous cubes had tons of them.

Mattel needs to drop rumblers but keep rumblers rampage Size down the brawling buddies Change elites to 7 figures 5 current. 2 flashbacks Keep basics and two packs the same Drop Powerslammers Do you base this on having gone to the future and seen sales figures?

I seriously don't believe that crap about Flex Force being the highest selling WWE line. If they were doing so great, why did they just get scrapped? You are not going to get rid of a line if it is your best seller.

man I hope Flex Force is officially dead.
They cancelled so many other lines but kept this horrid line alive all these years. Flex Force doesn't sell, they all end up on Canadian shelves to keep us warm for the winter. Or at Winners - where all toys go to die.

It's amazing how many high ranking business CEO's are members here. And that they are willing to give a young upstart company like Mattel free financial advise. Now thanks to Wfigs, all their employees can all have beach front property and super model wives!!

You are not going to get rid of a line if it is your best seller. Evidently, Flex Force stopped selling well enough to continue. Same as Defining Moments, Legends etc.

Flex Force is on clearance everywhere. What does that mean?
Are retailers prepping their shelves for the new influx of 2013 Flex Force Mania?!?!
I'm willing to bet on this one.

I think the biggest issue with Flex Force was that they were cheaper for the retailers so therefore they kept ordering them. Eventually they got jammed with these things and they weren't selling anymore.
If anything Flex Force probably did well enough to get by a couple of years but now that they oversaturated most stores retailers aren't making squat.
At the end of the day it is the retailers that hold our collecting fates, not us or the kids. They look at what will be the most profitable not what is a popular or a hot item.
All they see is WWE and think "Well WWE is popular so these will sell for sure." Not realizing that chances are Elites and Basics will more likely fly off shelves as opposed to FF. Unless they have a knowledgeable figure collector that does the ordering, well continue to see this in the future.
The ESR is a prime example of this. Mattel said it wasn't a big seller among the retailers. We all would have gladly paid full retail price for one, but most retailers didn't even bother to carry them. So in the end they became an official failed product and were sold at close out stores to never be seen or heard from again.
The only thing that Mattel can be blamed for is not trying to do more to get Matty Collector's name out there and letting us dictate which Legends made the cut.

I really hope they're done with flex-force. I still don't understand why they made those, I know if I were a kid I wouldn't want them.
