Can't wait for Backlund. I'd rather an NWA Race but I might pull the trigger on this one as it may be unlikely that we get another, though I hope I'm wrong on that. That is if we get them here in Canada. We did get the last FB series. But with the way they're doing the elites now and considering Canada doesn't have Target, I'm assuming we won't be getting too many future series' again. Also, I don't get this thread.OP was clearly upset by the responses in his last thread: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/355607/ringside-considerAnd decided to make another to try and move figures people think won’t sell by buying them all himself or getting others to? I’m not even sure myself lol |

Haha, they don't sell? What fantasy world is that in?
Lately I've been to a bunch of Walmarts all around me several times trying to find Race and at four stores and four times, they just had an Austin or two sitting there. THESE SELL -- it's just that Mattel's distribution process plus the myopic roster that they choose from (or are forced to choose from) isn't always what flashback fans want. Wave 1 was decent but wave 2 of the flashbacks had Alundra Blaze as the only first-time-in-the-line figure plus three "repaints." I didn't buy any of wave 2 -- I collect flashbacks but not repaint/variations or whatever you want to call a character in a different outfit, lol.
But when you throw us a bone like King Harley Race, I think that's absolutely ridiculous to think that that character won't sell IN A FLASHBACK THEMED LINE OF FIGURES. I would love to talk to whomever made that decision to short pack the most wanted figure in the series. That's a terrible decision and shows a lack of understanding of what the flashback fans really desire in a line of figures.

If I took it too seriously I would buy them right now on ebay for a ton of money. So although I have an incredible giant collection I don't take it that seriously that I would pay that much for it. I have been on these boards a LONG time and know I have fellow Legend/Flashback friends and collectors and some usual suspects that always criticize us and tell us how they warm the shelves so I thought I would help all collectors by getting them off the shelves.  |

I don't know what OP is but it doesn't get me mad at all if people would not buy a Mattel ringside collectible of classic Harley Race. I just wanted their opinions and most said no. That's cool. My hope is that the passers of this figure would help me get two so I could customize the other and see if either they really would pass on the figure or if it is warming shelves like some say it would that I could help alleviate that problem ... seems fair to me.

OP means “original poster” as in thread creator, which happens to be you. And if you are serious about this then it should’ve gone in the classifieds board where all buying/selling/trading etc threads are kept. |

Gotcha, Sorry! Thank you. But since people on here normally chime in on legends post that they won't sell and they would pass and that there are too many shelve warmers and Mattel won't do it .... would this not be relevant to that? A chance to help solve the problem in a small way?

Once the collectors, scalpers, and people who want HBK get there’s the rest (if there are any) will sit |
