Hi Mattel,
There are some quality 90s figures out there such as Defining Moments Triple H, Elite 12 Kane, RSC Exclusive 2001 Kane, RSC Exclusive 2002 Kane, Defining Moments Bret Hart and Elite 16 Kevin Nash but they came out so long ago now that the only way to get hold of them is through some idiot on Ebay selling them for $100. So is it possible if we could get rereleases or at least similar type figures to these.
Thanks

Go for it. I collect for display not monetary gain.

God no, rereleases don’t work. See Bossman, Taker, Warrior etc...
So many repaints they can give us...

The lost legends sold well here in Australia, Warrior, Taker and HBK all sold out despite being everywhere! Disagree, stacks of the figures u listed at Targets everywhere near me. And I’m pretty sure not one Karmala has sold anywhere (except the one I brought) - even reduced to $24. Furthermore - I think the Australian market is an after thought for WWE Mattel (so even if your statement holds true, the example isn’t indicative of the actual target audience) check RSC (likely not a true indicator either to be fair), during their recent sales, reissued figures where all but given away. Reissues don’t work, such a small market creates the high demand on secondary market. Mattel flooding that market does fill a gap - but it creates a back up of figures that kills the release patterns of future lines. Not to mention killing the secondary market, and while most will say that doesn’t matter, a strong secondary market for WWE Mattel, supports collectablity of the line overall. Increasing collectors and adding to demand means we get more variety of figures. I would rather that, then a small percentage of collectors whom missed out, getting a figure for retail - when a simple repaint would solve the problem (missing a character) and continue to generate more interest.

Near me all I can find is Daniel Bryan, Magnum TA, Nasty Boys, Adam Rose and the odd stragglers from the newer sets. Might not have flown off the shelves but Warrior, Taker and HBK all sold though in my local 3/4 Targets. I bought them all too

Let’s hope those warming now don’t stop us from getting some more in the future

The only one that stayed around a while was the Kamala but the rest went quickly. I have stores around here where legends warm shelves and other stores where today's stars warm shelves, can't judge lines by just your area - wish people would stop doing that.

Can we skip them and get any other elite line please mattel?
