Wrestling fans like me are choosy, so no. Pro wrestling is just one of those things where favoritism plays a big part and most people don't want buy dudes/dudettes you don't like or relate with "just because".
Plus, I don't want to pay to have the right to buy something.

I think guys like HTM, and Earthquake will be Guys they make in flashbacks , But if they only release 1 legend in each series , i dont mean the current flashback, like one true 80s - 90s legend... i wonder if that can hold peoples attention..... But i still dont get how andre wouldn't be better sold at retail? and how are we going to get classic tag teams now if one flashback will be a current legend and the other a throwback legend ? I Really Hope we Still Someday See In Mattel Form, The Natural Disasters, Power and Glory , Red L.O.D , The Hart Foundation and So many more... I hope you are right and we get to see some of these guys in flashbacks. Sadly, with only 1 Legend per wave, its going to take forever to get some of these guys. I too don't get the Andre choice. He would have been a far better figure to include in the line than Papa Shango. Not the best choice to kick start the flashbacks.

I think including Andre and The Rockers as Mattel's first exclusive figs in their online marketplace is pretty smart. They want to attract people to their online store who have never bought online before, or who strongly prefer in-store shopping. If you tell these people that the ONLY way you'll get Andre or the Rockers (very popular gimmicks) is to purchase on mattycollector, then that will be Mattycollector's chance to audition for those customers.
However, this means that those people (like me) better have an enjoyable experience with this process or it will turn us way off. But if we find it easy and surprisingly convenient/stress-free, then we may just come back for more! I think that's their objective.

So far, the only thing I'm getting from MattyCollector is the Rockers. Of those names I voted for (Elizabeth, DDP, Crush, AA, and Tully) I am lukewarm on spending money on any of them. Those are all names of figures I sort of want, but don't need to have and we don't even know what the final 5 will be yet. I can see Andre and the Rockers doing pretty well right out of the gate but I will be interested to see where this goes after that.
I'm patiently waiting for Razor Ramon, Diesel, Big Boss Man, Mick Foley, maybe a Raven? I don't know I just have a lot more faith in the guys they will stick in the Elite line rather than the guys I will have to get off their website at a premium. I thought the idea sounded cool, but the initial list of names just doesn't have me excited about it. I'm sure I will get a figure here and there but that will be about the extent of it.
