Whatever you wanna call the em (44B, Legends, Lost Legends) it seems like the re-releases within this series weren't as sought after as everyone suspected. Every one can be bought on RSC right now for no more than $13 and have been able to be obtained elsewhere for under $10. Combined that with figures like Network Bossman, E36 DDP, and DM Taker we can safely conclude that straight re-releases (or minor repaints) do not sell regardless of how popular the figure was during its original release. I know there are a few re-releases planned in upcoming lines (King Booker, Papa Shango, George Steele) but can these please be the last ones we see. And I am not advocating that if someone missed out on a popular character then their only option is to pay inflated prices or do without. But instead of re-releasing, for example, the same nWo Savage, repaint the figure in one of his many other nWo attires.

Well, seeing I have yet to see them in any stores around here I am passing on them. There's no reason for me to get them online and pay shipping costs for figures I already have the originals of. When I see them locally I will probably pick up the HBK and Taker as well as another Magnum (the only figure in the set I preordered)
But I don't know if I would say they are killing anything. I am sure RSC is taking a hit on everyone other than Magnum, because probably 80% + of their customers are collector based so most probably are passing because they already have. But I am sure once they hit mass retail stores they will sell much better with the general public who are looking for gifts for their kids/grandkids/siblings/friends.

I haven't bought one re-release because I've been collecting since the beginning. Hopefully retail/online/mattel will realize sending out huge shipments of re-releases isn't the best idea. Unfortunately I will have to buy Papa Shango because I want that WM 8 Ultimate Warrior.

I only got Jericho and Kamala. I think of they would, then don't have the same attire, maybe a new sculpt, with a different color scheme. I only want elite 12 Kane rerealesed because I never found it at retail. I like how they rerealesed Nash, etc

King Booker is not a rerelease. It's no different than any other repainted elite

I didn't really want any of these legends rereleases. The only rerelease is like is e12 Kane, but i would go for a two sleeved version instead because I'm not really a big fan of rereleases.

Pretty much every elite other than Balor in the last 6 or 7 elite waves could of been had for 13 or less at some point and if you found him at Big Lots include Balor as well

I would like to see E12 Kane re-released. He seems to be coming down in price the way it is. I picked him up yesterday for $52 shipped and saw him go earlier in the week for $49. For awhile I never saw him less than 80.

I'm sure the next nwo fig is wolfpac savage anyways... I want Magnum, and 2 more takers to customize. I know some canadians have the found them at wal-mart but I haven't found anything yet. Anyone in Ontario or Quebec found this series?

At least on their US store. Haven't checked .ca

Haven't checked .ca I meant for us it's expensive for guys he prob is 17$ lol I don;t know why our figures are SO EXPENSIVE. The sug retail price can't be 24.99...f'n stores making their own prices then every one else stays competitive...with tax that's about 28 something...for guys round 21$ That's with tax. I'd buy the crap out of a set if they 21 bucks. I don't know how parents do it. Gotta hand it to the toy companies by making basic/elite or 3"/6" stars wars, even the dc multiverse figs, I think Marvel does it too...but damn toys are expensive. Toys. See toys are meant to be played with then tossed way when outgrown (or broken lol)...But then along comes our forefathers (maybe even some of you REALLY older cats? lol) that eventually became us - the collectors, now buying up all these old toys and turning them into collectables...and thus making them valuable and by now...expensive. We did ti ourselves. Is remember ljn wrestlers being the most expensive (Sectors was pricey too) but most of the figs (gi joe, secret wars, superpowers) were like 5-9 bucks and thundercats and he-man maybe being a bit more. I also remember the ghostbusters figs being like 11$ and that set a new standard...and now here we are, and toys are f'n expensive.

King Booker is not a rerelease. It's no different than any other repainted elite True, but I kinda lump it in with DDP. Its practically the same figure but with a color change. Not enough of a difference from the previous release to warrant another buy. Especially when there are so many other Booker figures you can make.

Same exact accessories crown, robe, scepter. We'll probably get a WCW TV Champ Booker since they can easily make it by repainting E46

Personally I got Jericho when the set first came out in Smyths, but Kamala and Magnum TA have been reduced from £19 to £10 there recently (couldn't resist Kamala at £10). All of the Lost Legends set hasn't really moved well for the most part over here, but that's usually normal for Flashback Elites at Smyths.
