Well, guess we can officially...

It's a damn shame as I like Legends even the ones I don't know. I've enjoy collecting them and the more figures of guys from the past the better for me.

.....dammit.....

for a company that says collectors are only 5% of the market, they sure flooded every single store with Legends. My Target & Walmart & TRUS must have sold 2-3 full sets of series 1 & 2, and they just kept on sending em more, then enevtually they ended up on clearance and stores deeded them no good and didnt order more.

Seems like they were being very greedy with what they wanted to sell and make $$ money wise. Legends sold just as good as current figs in stores by me the 1st box or two of each series sent out. Hell, every store has the same current fig shelf warmers all the time.

But its like this. the Line got all F'd up for a variety of reasons. Mattel knows where tha mistakes were made. So, since your a billion $$ company, maybe try it again one more time.

1) release a set you know will sell (gonna have to have some Shawn, Cena debut outfit, Taker, Bret and maybe 1 obscure legend to start with, WWE is gonna have to allow this).

2) make the price 9.99-11.99 (seems low, but better thay all sell at that, then people only buying 1 or 2 or none at 14.99).

3) start with just TRUS, RSC, & Mattel's own website.

4) dont flood the market with them and expect massive profits. if we are 5% of the market, expect to make 5% of what current figs make you.

5) keep the flashbacks going as well, one current star in retro and 1 older legend.

To just give up after knowing the mistakes made (ECSPECIALLY That Wacked out MATTY.com poll for the Legends) is weak minded.

poll sucked = new poll

prices were too high = lower prices

choices werent great to get line off the ground = better selling line-up

flooded the market expecting make bank = release less and expect only that 5% of profits vs current figs

Finally, DO NOT let this horrible decision to do MATTY.COM determione the lines future. NOBODY knows about Matty.com. This had to cut sales down BIG TIME. Between the price w/tax & shipping and hardly nobody knowing about it, it was garaunteed to be a failure.

they should have just went with thier own website and RSC.

I KNOW This line could be revived, but you gotta want it and want to try again ,not just tap out. I know for a fact I could help get this line back to rockin again. And I'd work for Mattel for free to help do it.

I understand people are nervous about the line ending, but this board has really started to suck because its constant negativity. If the line does end, why cant we just enjoy it while its around? Im thinking positive and just happy that we are getting figures still. I just got Andre the Giant (&ministry taker) in the mail today and this figure is top notch. Its the best Andre fig ever released IMO. I cant wait to add Bossman, rr93 Hitman, and Yokozuna to my collection. Lets face it, we were spoiled with the amount of figures and characters JAKKS produced. Lets just enjoy it while we got it, and if we really love the line so much lets just support it.

The line died the second that The Rockers accidentally hit Mattel Shop. It caused such confusion and issues with angering customers that they lost a fair amount of people willing to go pay the higher price.

I recently bought them and the cost is just too high to ever purchase again. $44 after shipping is not something the average person can afford, so it's no surprise that the tag team set would be viewed as a failure, they should've expected that.

I wouldn't have bought the Rocker's off Matty, but I bought them off Mattel Shop. It's possible that mistake actually helped sell more sets.

One thing's for certain either way you look at it, I no longer see the need for rushing to my computer to order these damn things at Noon anymore...I can literally wait until the next week if I want for the rest of the Legends. If The Rockers and Andre don't sell out, the rest sure won't.

It was fun while it lasted.

Hopefully Mattel does a reboot of Legends Line of something in the future and release the figures people want.

So by 'we', you mean 'you'?

the dumbest thing i ever heard anyone say. When Jakks had the line Andre was one of the best selling charectors. If Andre wont sell, then most every other legend from that era wont sell. (with the exeption of Hogan or Flair, both of which arnt possible)
