I will be buying them all except maybe Booker T. Wish he would've been in his Harlem Heat attire.

Watching Superstars in 92 and finding out Bret Hart won the World Title from Flair. I couldn't believe Flair lost the title so quickly after regaining it. Figured Warrior would eventually beat him for it. Diesel beating Backlund for the Title. I didn't think Backlund would hold the Title long, but his reign was even shorter than I thought it would be. I was surprised at the time that Diesel was the one to dethrone him. Warrior winning the Title cleanly from Hogan. I thought for sure they were going to turn Warrior heel and have Hogan win. I remember jumping out of my chair when Warrior got the pin. The Hart Foundation winning the Tag Titles at SS 90. I didn't think the Harts would get another Title run, especially with L.O.D on the scene. The creation of the MegaPowers. It was the talk of the school the next Monday. Everybody was doing the handshake. Warrior being Honky Tonk's surprise opponent at SS 88.

Targets are bare, most Walmarts are overflowing with Elite 11, found Elite 12 at a couple Kmarts. Will be adding Kane and Papa Shango to my Legends shelf Christmas morning. After watching my classic wrestling videos, my son starting watching WWE during the summer and starting collecting figures of the current roster. By the time he is done with all of the Christmas gatherings we have this year he will have added the TLC set, Walmart Steel Cage set, Basic Usos set,and 9 Elites, including Del Rio and Daniel Bryan, to his collection.

Hopefully the Legends line does well online and we get some awesome Flashback figures in the stores. I hope we get at least one big surprise Legend/Flashback figure or tag team.

I'd buy a Mountie figure. However, I want the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers first. At this point I know we'll see the Mountie first though. Would even eventually like the Quebecers.

Any of the ones Moop mentioned or Royal Rumble 91 version with purple championship belt would be cool.

I appreciate them answering questions and giving honest answers. But being a Legends collector is becoming more and more frustrating. I can't believe they consider King Booker as his career highlight. Nor can I believe I'll have a Papa Shango in my collection but not a camo Sgt. Slaughter. Crazy there is no Elite Legend Shawn Michaels as HBK yet. I am a big Warrior and Savage fan, but hard to get excited by another figure of them already when there are so many others that need a first figure.

Wow! Gotta have that Magnum ! I wish Mattel would've gave the line a little more time, I think it was just starting to hit it's stride.

I never did like it when Savage became the "Macho King". Didn't need it in my opinion. Trying to think who I would have had beat Duggan. "Model King" Rick Martel ? "The Worlds Strongest King" Dino Bravo ? Honky Tonk King ? If Hercules would've been heel at the time King Hercules might not have been too bad.

I'd buy all of them. I'm fairly sure Honky Tonk and the Rougeaus are signed. Hoping "Anvil" and Koko aren't on the "false" list.

Saw them at a Walmart today along with DM 5. Glad to finally have Bret in my collection!

Looks good. Still wish it were elite, but at this point I'll take legends anyway I can get them. Hopefully we get a matching "Anvil" down the road.

The Bulldogs are my favorite team of all time so I picked them. I would buy any team on the list though. Would be cool to finally have figures of the Islanders and Rougeau Brothers. I would also like to see the Nasty Boys, Power and Glory, Hollywood Blondes, Doom, Headbangers, Godwinns, Conquistadors, Young Stallions, Orient Express, Smoking Gunns, Headshrinkers.

Don't like the " if they do Mr. Fuji ", should be WHEN they do Mr. Fuji.

Lets see, already knew about Andre, Rockers, Shango and Kane. Bret with no heart on his attire and Shawn with messed up hair color are basics. Unfortunately, nothing new for this Legends collector to be excited about. Too bad that Bret and Shawn weren't Elite 13 Flashbacks. Darn you, Mattel !

I'm starting to lose interest as well. I never thought I'd buy wrestling figures again, and then I stumbled across legends 1. I was really excited to see where Mattel was going to take the line, especially when I heard things like this was going to be the most complete wrestling line of all time. What a disappointment it's turning out to be, starting to regret I even started. I will say Mattel without a doubt makes the best wrestling figures I've ever seen. Too bad they can't figure out how to run the line. I'm not giving up quite yet, but it looks like Hasbros Star Wars line is going to start getting more of my money again. Here's hoping that DM gives way to another similar series. Maybe they decided the name of the line limited who they could include in it so they're changing it ? Hoping something positive comes out of it.
