I don't really want classics...

Will I collect it? No.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to say they shouldn't make it because others DO want it.

I agree with you, I'd really rather not see a legends line. I think maybe if they put one legend in the basic line every other wave I'd be cool with something like that, I've been buying Mattel's stuff since I spotted them in stores and I'm trying to get everything except the Flex Force stuff so if they made another lineup it would really be a strain on my wallet but one per every other basic line and elite wouldn't be a bad idea I suppose

I think they should release a classic line, simply because there is a market for it, but I do think it may take some focus away from the current roster, as that did seem to happen with Jakks. Can't blame them as it does take more time and effort to hunt down the talent and figure out a scanning method and all that.

Try three single and three 2-packs series' a year.

That would get us through a whole year with around 40 different figures. A decent amount that would still allow them to focus a lot on the current stars. Not to mention, I'm sure 90% of Entrance Greats will be Classics.

Just don't buy them.

You can't be serious. Money is an issue to every company, regardless of how much or how little they have.

Personally, I'd love a Classics line from Mattel. The Jakks Classics stuff was the only reason I got back into figure collecting.

The chance to buy some Andre the Giant, Million Dollar Man, Ultimate Warrior figures (among others) that my parents never allowed me to collect when I was young, was reason enough to start collecting.

I love the new guys just as much, but it'd be nice to have the option to pick up some former stars.

I dont think that a full line of classics is needed. If they sprinkle in a few in that will be enough.

We have Stone Cold from the Heritage line. They could continue that. I think that Steamboat will get a figure with Jericho in a 2-pack. The other big names could come in the entrance greats line.

I cant believe how many figures we already have out and they have only officially been in stores for a little over a month.

My shelf is already full.

Honestly, Jakks Legends line will be enough for me.
I don't think Mattel needs or should bother with a Classic line. If they keep up with the "Wrestlemania" sets...throw in a few random classic guys here and there that'd be better for me.

When I started collecting Mattel WWE figures I told myself I would only focus on the "Modern Day" lines.

Thanks to Jakks, I have all the Classic figures I'll ever want...Hogan, Rock, Stone Cold, Bret Hart, and the list goes on...

When Mattel does come out with their Legends line I may pick one or two up here and there; but I'm defiantly not going all out like I did for the Jakks Classics. IMO there's only so many classic guys that you can have. While with current "modern" guys you can always look forward to having a chance keeping them updated.

I personally have always felt that Jakks took more time on their classic superstars than they did their modern. Which isn't a bad thing, but I personally feel like modern day guys should be the main priority and not the classics. I just hope Mattel is the other way around where they focus on modern guys and just have the Legends as secondary.
