So I got to thinking this past week, I have come across a lot of balors, styles and now cactus and hall of fame lawler. The stores around me seem to be over loaded with figures that were very hard to come by, but now peg warming.
It's nice to see these all in store for everyone to get but it also made hunting for figures boring and pointless.
Anyone ever hear of mattel maybe making a chase figure for each set of Elites. Just 1 that's tossed in that's like 1 of 500 world wide. I don't care if I never find it, but imagine being in a store and finding that 1 rare figure that chances are, you are going to be the only one with it. I know they have basic, championship and slamy chase. So why not do that with elites.
It would make hunting for figures way more fun. Just the added slammy awards, when I seen those made me excited and I don't collect basics, it was just because I seen and found some that made my day.
I think even just limiting figures production. 6 figuess ex.

Why would you ever make more Jannetty than Shawn?

They'd all get snatched up by scalpers. It would be awful.

Ugh I'd hate it, pretty much because I don't really shop for figures in store anymore because retail distribution has been so horrible.

I never see any of those figures you mentioned in-stock in my area, let alone warming, just Ringmaster Steve, Tito, and Big E. I think 50/50 color variations are cool, like the upcoming Berserker could come in brown or teal tunics, because when are they ever going to release that again? Ken Shamrock too, I could go for red, blue, and green versions, I think black(iyh dx) would probably need different deco though.

I think they should drastically reduce the quantity of the DM figures they make. Seeing 1.5 million Ultimate Maniacs on a shelf is not good to see.
Limit the quantity and more or less every person would happily pay the higher price to own a limited run figure. As it is, the DM price for a run of the mill elite sucks. Big time, even more so when I go in the same store I bought it for £22.99 later dramatically reducing the price, I know part of this is down to over ordering, but a store shouldn't be able to over order.

I don't know if we need Chase figures, but I would love if they chose a figure or two from each series and inserted an autograph card or 5" x 7" photo of that wrestler. Maybe limit the autographs to 100-500 per figure. That way those people who enjoy the thrill of the hunt would be satisfied, but the figure itself should be available for everyone.

No it will never happen. Bill (or maybe it was Boss Bill) has said that for a figure to be considered "financially worth making" that they have to do it in a certain number (I think it was no less then 5000). I think a special accessory (gold belt, slammy etc) is as close as we'll get to a chase.

No. I can't really understand the mindset of "collecting should be more difficult than it is." One of the best things about this line is how accessible it is - whether you're a kid or a collector it's relatively easy to get just about any figure you could want at or near retail price.

If the production runs were smaller, the price per figure would be higher, so we'd have to pay even more for them. |

HOF Lawler is one per case and came out a week ago and you say it's "warming". Stop it. Just say you like chase figures and don't try to make a poor argument for it.
