Dear Mattel,
We Australian collectors have been very upset ever since Mattel decided to stop distributing Elite WWE figures to Australia, we feel that Mattel has turned its back on their loyal Australian collectors.
We have been hearing numerous excuses that poor sales are the reason Mattel gave up on Australia. Well this is a petty excuse and customers have nothing to do with the sales as we have been getting the same waves of elite 6 over and over again, then a slight wave of Elite 7 and 8 (which sold EXCELLENTLY as many retailers told me they sold out in under a week!) and that was it. So we dont know from where you are getting information that the sales were poor, unless you were talking about Elite series 6 which was about the only wave our retailers were getting for a whole year! What do you expect us to do? Keep buying the same series over and over again?
Anyways we Australian collectors are demanding Mattel gives us a second chance and start distributing Elites back to our country. We have had enough of spending $50.00 plus on one figure from eBay.
Regards, your loyal Australian WWE figure collectors.

Even though I get most of my Mattels online now, it is still a big blow to us Aussie collectors.

ATTENTION Australian collectors. I have been informed that Mattel have decided to drop the basic Heritage line and the only Way to get a hold of your favorite "Legends" figures such as Steve Austin, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels etc is in Elite Flashbacks!
Do you guys know what this means? Mattel are depriving all of their loyal Australian customers and WWE fans from collecting their favorite Legends figures as Mattel? a worldwide leader in toys, have decided to stop Elite distribution to Aistralia.
Come on fellow Australians. Voice your disapproval. Post on this thread!

Canada as well, it's pathetic how they can barely send any of their series here half the time.

At least jakks distributed all of their products to us.
Sure they weren't as good quality but bad quality is better than NOTHING!!

the official German WWE Facebook stated that we (Germans) might get the newest series in retail this fall. I don't really believe it but it's good news nevertheless

I don't really believe it but it's good news nevertheless I am having a hard time believing this as well! Elite 9 has been shelfwarming the TRU's in Germany for more then a year now (well, actually it's Kofi, Orton and MVP that are shelfwarming), and I really do not see Mattel distributing newer series to Germany. Besides this, I also don't see these retailers (like TRU) ordering this new stuff al of a sudden to be honest, as they are still stuck with all these crap like the leftover E9 figures, FF, Cena and Mysterio figures. |

Mattel GIVE UP THE LICENSE.....YOU HAVE FAILED IN AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, CANADA, GERMANY, HOLLAND, THE USA, THE UK AND ANTARCTICA....!!
IT'S POINTLESS TO GREEDILY CONTINUE HOGGING THE WWE LICENSE......GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO MIGHT UNDERSTAND THE VAST POTENTIAL AND BETTER DISTRIBUTE THE PRODUCT WORLDWIDE.....!!!
WHEN I THINK OF Mattel I THINK OF HOW THEY RUINED THE WWE'S REPUTATION OF BEING A GLOBAL LEADER OF ACTION FIGURES.....!!!!
NO EXCUSE CAN NOW CHANGE THE HUNDREDS OF DISGRUNTLED COLLECTORS WHO FEEL LIED TO AND ABANDONED.....!!!!!
PASS THE TORCH, GIVE HASBRO A GO....?

It's not fair, Mattel is just providing WWE figures for the little kids with the rumblers, FlexFarts and basics. Us adult cole Rees are getting shafted with the no Elite disturbution!
I don't get it is Mattel trying to tell us that WWE isn't successful in Australia? Is that why we are getting screwed over? Yet we get shelves clogged with Barbie?
Are you trying to tell me there are more Barbie fans in Australia than Wrestling fans? Is Mattel subliminally saying that Australia is populated with 6 year old girls?

Hasbro figures look horrible, and distribution issues aside, Mattel are creating the best action figures weve seen so no, leave the license with them. |
