Two good things could actually come from this:
1) Modern Smackdown ring (SyFy) at retail in its place. 2) Classic WWF ring skirts, posts, pads, and ropes as online exclusives. At least the skirts & ropes.

Mattel has done a great job so far with the products which they have made.....but one has to question if they were prepared for the financial responsibility it would take to handle the WWE brand.
I mean, we are seeing Legends Series down to 4 figures per Series, Elite Series are seeing waves which are missing certain guys from the 6 man lineup.
Not being able to afford to keep the stands!
Seems to me like Mattel is having trouble right now.....all that is happening is that things are being taken away, taken away, taken away, taken away.....but the prices keep going up!

As long as we still get Andre, I don't mind.

Well that sucks. I just sold my Jakks Classic ring to make room for this one.

Maybe they felt it wouldn't sell enough to justify its inevitable cost (probably significantly higher than the ESR was). That said, they should make some expansion packs for the ESR we already have rather than throw out new rings that have a new ring skirt on them.

i was hoping to get it, but since i have the elite scale ring. The elite scale ring really sell alot. cause is hard to find. When i got mine for xmas, my mom told me tht it was the only one left and i told her to get it. then when i whent like 2 weeks after there where none and no extreme rules, just some figures.

I really just want the Andre anyways.
Seems like an odd thing to cancel. Hoping they aren't planning on canceling Legends altogether. This news kinda worries me in a way.

Hate to hear that news Bill. Was looking forward to that and skipped the Elite version as I mainly collect Legends. Hopefully you all can still release Andre soon.
I've really enjoyed the quality work on the Legends line so far. My only complaint is dropping the number from 6 to 4. Hopefully that means more waves more frequently.

Hope we get Andre in an All Star 2 pack with Big Show (using his Basic scan and with an all black singlet)

I'll admit I'm a Mattel mark, but seriously - what is so hard about recasting the ring posts in blue, and dying two of the three ropes in white and blue to go along with the red one? I know I'm over-simplifying product production, even with my Marketing background but gimme a break...this is so disappointing.

Oh well...I really didn't have room in my collection for a ring anyway, and I'm sure we'll still get that Andre somehow.

@bill -
By the way, thank you for letting us know sooner than later.
