there really should be a moratorium on cena/orton/rey releases
i mean retail is saturated with them
let the dust settle for the love of god.

It's the crap they decide to distribute. Can't live with Orton, Cena, Mysterio warming the pegs and then the Flex Force crap that warms pegs right next to the others. Flex Force doesn't sell to begin with yet they decide to massively produce the 3 figures of death. The Rumblers are cool and fun (IMO) but they release the new guys with a repaint of one of the 3 peg warmers so no one buys them.
Just because these guys can put butts in seats for a WWE event doesn't mean they will sell when there are a dozen to choose from.
For the record considering my wife and I run around to the stores looking for new figures we don't find much. Elite 15 was just found in my area and Elite 16 has popped up at a couple random Meijers. We go out find no new WWE stuff I find something else and buy it when it catches my eye. Ninja Turtles are on shelves and were huge when I was a kid so I've bought up those and even some WOW Mega Bloks, so in the end it's Mattel's fault for not giving buyers like me enough variety. I would love to buy new WWE figures but if I don't find them then my money is gonna go somewhere else.

When looking at Mattel as a whole they are jumping the shark big time. WWE is a small part of it but like others have said distribution sucks. They'll cater to the whims of big box stores but it seems like RSC is the only place that sells WWE figures.
Their Dark Knight Rises figures are a disgrace and looked rushed. Sure the Movie Masters series is good but again poor distribution. The regular figures aren't even appealing to kids let alone collectors. They know the demand for good 3 3/4" figures is out there but they refuse to listen.
Now MOTUC is in trouble, but is that really a surprise. Prices have gone up and the subscriptions leave very little to be desired NTM Digital River is the worst processing company.
I love Mattel but they do need to get off their high horse before it is too late. Truth be told they were a subpar figure company before DCUC came around. Not that long ago when you really think about it.

i think that instead of 3x of Figure X and only 1 of Figure Y no Matter what even distribution in a case do 2x of all figures it would spread things out just a little more

if their distribution for their other products suck like WWE, then it's no surprise.
does anyone know if WWE is even one of their top sellers? WWE may not be the contributing factor to the decrease.

That's because Kevin Nash, Yokozuna, Booker t, are all short packed, maybe you should make Nash 4 per case, that'll help sales, lol.

probably because we can't find them on the shelves this was my first thought. If there were more on the shelves I would buy more. The only time I can ever get anything is when I visit my family in Chicago and drive to 25+ stores one day to pick up a few figures. |
