Bill Thanks for the news now rather than waiting until closer to the expected release date to drop the bomb. Looks like I will be picking up the ESR sometime in the near future and pray for the Andre to be released as a legends single or 2-pack sometime down the road. Thanks again for the quick release of this news.

arg this sucks so much I had to post twice in this thread now - I'm just waiting to hear Bill tell us they have to cancel the Rockers and Von Erichs too... That's not cool man. I mean I don't give a about the Von Erichs, I just want the Rockers.

While I wanted the ring, I have no idea where I would of put it anyway. Thanks for telling us but I think Mattel at least deserves to tell us why it was canceled.

I am starting to see a bad chain of events here. -Canceling of things (big things that have collectors excited for- Smackdown ring, Legends Elite Ring) - lack off/odd distribution - increase of prices across the board - getting rid of the stands - sets are decreasing in number of figures - not every figure from a particular set is being shipped.
Mattel started so strong and now I'm starting to see some cracks. It was so easy to find things last year. Now im having a hard time finding a store that carries Elites. And if they do has elites, it's Jericho, Bigshow and Legacy! Get rid of all the BS! Rumblers? FlexForce? Come on. Flex Force Rings?? I love the DM figs but they are legends figs in a nice package that most of us throw away anyway. Stick with Basic/PPV lines and the Elite/Legends line please. Less is more sometimes.

Yeah...this doesn't really bother me as long as we end up with that Andre some other way. Either as a normal singles or in a 2 pack with someone. I wasn't looking forward to spending the $60 or more for an Andre figure.

I'm actually okay with this news. Cause I planned on buying it just for Andre, now I won't have to. I'm sure we'll still get Andre at some point.

At least Mattel told us straight up, and didn't put it off until last minute. I wasn't planning on buying the ring but was interested into seeing what it looked like.

I was really looking forward to this. Please do not cancel the legends line. They are the only mattel figs I spend my hard earned money on. @bill, thanks for telling us now.
I will be buying the esr now. Please, please please do not get rid of the legends line!
Does it seem odd we haven't seen or heard of the legends 6 or legends 2 two packs? I hope its not cancelled after series 5. The Feb. Toy fair is valentine's week. Hope we get good stuff.

Thanks for updating us, i much prefer we have direct contact like this over such issues. When the ring was first shown, it looks great but i had no need for it but i really wanted that Andre. So this may actually work out better in my case cause i want that andre released by itself and i hope it does!

Glad I got my RAW ESR over the holidays for half price instead of waiting for this.

Dang, that was the only ring I was interested in... Maybe some expansions packs for the ESR will happen instead.
As long as we still get Andre I'll be ok, that figure is really nice.

It seems like Legends overall aren't selling too well. Makes sense they would cancel a 70 dollar Legends ring.
