Is this going to carry on all the way to July?? I sure Hope not... i know DM4 and L6 are going to ship soon but there has been a Code of Silence from Mattel and its driving me nuts....
Not just for Legends but there should be lineups for all series soon , no?
If we have to wait till SDCC then that will be feb-july w. no news....
Comic-Con International: San Diego 2011
Thursday-Sunday July 21-24, 2011
I'd Just like to hear what other people think.... Do you think they are holding all News till July or do you think we'll get another pre-order of sets before then?

I'd like to hear some news soon, too.
I wish Mattel's representatives would come back to the forum. It was nice having a dialogue with the company about their product.

I feel like this thread is already going to head in that direction because some members seem to think Mattel "owes" them something. I miss the days when you had no idea who was going to be in what series until you saw the actual figures on the shelves. Now we see everything a year ahead of time it seems like.

Some of you are way too spoiled when it comes to news about action figures.

Mattel doesn't owe any of you 'news.' They are nice enough to reach out at points to ask and or to release information.. but to act as if they OWE it to you is childish. Hell Mattel doesn't even have to reach out to WF for opinions and such but they do. Some toy lines ignore their fans. Be happy for once instead of complaining.... geesh.

Yeah it kinda sucks not knowing what's on the horizon,but its also kind of nice to get a breather to catch up on what's already out there. Things were being shot out of the cannon so fast for a couple of months that it was hard to stay on top of it all and keep an eye on every pre-order and exclusive and so on that was being announced nearly weekly. So for me,I'm just getting caught up and by the time I do I'm sure there will be a dozen new pre-orders/lineups/exclusives etc,to drive me nuts through the Fall.

We could just make up news.
Legends series 7 has been dubbed "They Might Be Figures" and includes; Particle Man, Universe Man, Person Man, and Triangle Man.
There'll be a variant Person Man which actually comes packaged in the garbage can accessory.

I remember walking into Toy Works and seeing BCA for the first. I didn't have a clue about them. Ah, pre-internet days.

well i do like news but there have been some ideas to mattel so they down the prices on the legends line. they are to high on price on puerto rico, right now i paid 12.99 at my local walmart for a triple h WM Heratige Series. I bought it cuase it was the only 1 of 100 left and i didnt have one of those in my whole life. and i have seen videos on youtube.com of figures of tht same kind at walmart for 7.98 dollars tht why i hte buying figs on puerto rico. but for something i found figs at a local store only on PR tht where at 9.99 so they are cheap tht the good stuff but still is to much to pay for legends here. i love mattel news but they should do something about legends and 2 pack and DM here on puerto rico

i also would like to hear some news from mattel regarding the future of the legends line in general. they asked us for our suggestions, the topic went to over 20 pages. would be nice to know if they actually read any of it, and more importantly, what have they actually decided regarding the future of the line.
i understand that the reps got a bit bombarded with messages from some members, which of course isn't right, but the answer isn't to just totally cut off contact with collectors. we need to know whats going on with important issues like this, and our input into future character-selection and design choices for lines needs to be asked for.
communication with the collectors is where Jakks failed in many ways during the WWE line. they often TOLD us what was coming (which would have come whether we knew about it or not). but they barely ever specifically ASKED us stuff that actually affected superstar/design choices. and their occassional "Q&A" sessions were so random, unfair and disorganized.
it's so frustrating as a collector to feel like the only input collectors can give is random/unorganized self-made posts all over the place which mattel probably won't even read.
what we need is regular, organized, and fair opportunities to give input to mattel that will actually be useful and practical for them to take into consideration.
i know i keep banging on about it, but a good start would be to put together a massive official legends survey, filled with hundreds of superstars names accross all eras, promotions and fame-levels. more than anything else, that would give mattel a decent idea as to the demand for certain names in the legends line and how many per case to make. rather than them just guessing who will sell, making them all 2 per case and then complaining that people aren't buying them...

I think Mattel will be at the NY Comic Con and I think that's before the SDCC. but don't quote me on that. I keep getting emails about the NY con but have been deleting them.
