Has anyone heard any update on when they will hit stores?
Series 1 has been out from months now.
Do you think they will go to 2 sets per series now (much like they just down sized the legends line)?
Wheres the guy from the design team to shed some light?

I doubt Series 2 will be only 2 sets- however, it might be like EGs and the 3rd will be released later... just a hunch, no news. But I bet in the future they really ease up on the 2 packs just b/c they obviously arent selling (at least around me) too well considering the pegs are fully stacked and there are several boxes of them on the top.
I hope that the 3rd piece in S2 is the Hart Foundation as most have guessed it'll be.

I'm sure most of the Series 1 2-packs will be gone by the end of the holiday season. When was it confirmed they downsized the Legends? Last I read they were thinking about it in the future, but nothing was final. And I think they only showed us 4 figures at RF because they said it would be a sneak peek. So personally I think they held back 2 Series 5 figures to unveil at a later date.

Also, I assume Mattel is going to release two sets per two-pack series going forward. I do not think the Piper/Orton and Shiek/Volkoff sets are selling well. You can find these sets at every TRU in vast quantities. It was also stated by Mattel in an Internet Q&A (I cannot find the thread) that new two-packs will be released once TRU's stock of Series 1 significantly diminishes. Legends will be 4 figures per wave starting with Wave 5. Wave 5 will indeed be Macho Man Randy Savage The Model Rick Martel Akeem Bam Bam Bigelow Please copy and paste this every time this question arises in future posts. Thanks Bill |

Why won't he post here and clear some of this tag team stuff up? |

The Legends 2 Packs aren't selling here either. There is still 2 pegs worth from the original stocking and a brand new sealed box up top.

Maybe he has a lot of work to do. Maybe he does not know. Maybe he knows and is not allowed to divulge the information. Give the guy a break. We should be grateful Bill posts at all. I am sure Bill will clarify the question in due time. Be patient. |

Thats true. When Jakks introduced their Classic 2 packs the first line included Legion of Doom, Hart Foundation, and the Rockers. All three of those teams are guaranteed sellers. Speaking of the Rockers, I can't wait till they release them. |

I love the 2 packs. Wish they were $25 but you're getting 2 elite style figures. My TRU has a ton of them on the pegs and 2 cases up top It would really be a shame if Mattel did away with them because no one wanted to spend $30 on the Bushwakers. Never mind the fact that the Piper and Shiek are re-releases. |

I hope they get them out soon, either around the holidays or after the new year, cause I want my Von Erichs..... I have been working on a few customs such as Chris Adams and all, and I really can't wait till they come out, just hope one has a claw hand, lol.... I may also get the Rockers, but I hope we find out soon who the 3rd set is?  Time will tell! QUAGMIRE |

Man some people take these boards serious like they are there life or something. Raven37257 I am sorry, for you. It is funny how you perceive my response to be negative. However, if you want to be negative, I can play that game. The board reads the likes of your whining about information too much. I am only pointing out the obvious. You asked an irrational question and you received a rational response. I am sorry for you because you obviously cannot provide any substantive comments/information/direction to the community. I am not an avid poster but I can be when I see ignorant questions/comments posted. Worry less about me and more about yourself. Have a nice day! |

I hope series 2 isn't stuck at just two packs this time out. I'd hope people will buy The Rockers and Von Erichs in high enough quantity to warrant the tag team line continuing.
