Meh. Let's get some Flashbacks. Yes, bring on the Flashbacks!

At the time of his death wasn't Rude training for a comeback to WWE? I thought I'd heard that somewhere.

Another Boss Man already? I wouldn't mind a corporate Boss Man down the road, but there are so many other guys that need first time figures. Is there another Flashback rumored for 26 or just Boss Man?

Hoping we at least see 1 first time in the line Flashback from the 85 to 95 time frame. Would pass out if they finally give us a Flashback tag team from that era.

During their first reign as champs, the Hart Foundation's first televised title defense was against a team that included Tito Santana, and their last televised defense was against a team with Santana on it. First was against Tito and Dan Spivey on the March 14th, 1987 SNME. Last was against Tito and Rick Martel on the October 27th 1987 airing of Superstars's.

Argue with me if you want, but Shortly after the 1000th raw or 20th anni, cant remember which, X-pac tweeted that he had signed a legends deal. I remember that. Didn't Brutus Beefcake say he was going to get a figure but someone at WWE vetoed it?

They actually planned to release Anvil in elite series 21, but got replaced last minute with Honky Tonk Man.
Where did you hear this at? Would've been nice if we got both in the wave.

I'm begining to give up on Mattel making anymore old school tag teams. Seems like they don't have any interest in them. I think Demolition was the last team we had at retail. Maybe it was the Bushwhackers? Still, it's been a couple years since we had a team at retail. I know we got Edge and Christian, but they weren't released in the same wave. At least give us a basic RR 88 Anvil to go with the Bret we got. So many great teams we'll probably never see.

Walmart in Warsaw had Elite 21, no Ryback's, this morning. I picked up HTM and left the rest.

14 years already, hard to believe. Just finished watching Owen vs Bulldog for the European title. So many talents gone too soon. R.I.P King of Harts.

Wonder what they'll include with Bruno? I'll gladly buy him but I can see where he would be a rather boring looking figure. Hopefully he sells well and it opens up the door for us to get some other guys that didn't have flashy attires or gimmicks like Muraco, Hercules, etc.

Hope this 4 Flashback wave is successful and they give us a Flashback heavy wave every so often. Hopefully next time we can get some first time in the line guys.

It would be nice if it was a Flashback of someone we haven't had a figure of yet, but it won't be. I'll say Shawn Michaels from SummerSlam 95 with entrance gear, I-C title, and a ladder.

This one may happen. Plans in pencil right now. As long as the TRU Best of PPV sets continue to sell we will want to mix in some Heritage Build-a-Figure selections. Thanks for the response. Hopefully it works out. Don't forget we need some old school tag teams too please.

Bobby Heenan, with Jimmy Hart a close second. I'm begining to think we'll never get any of the old school managers ( besides Liz ) or more tag teams. Mattel seems to have no interest in either, which is a shame.
