I know I'm fairly new to the board, so my apologies If this is already been posted but I noticed in 2012 everybody voted her what figure they wanted to come out through exclusives on Matty collector.com if I'm wrong there again I apologize but are they doing that again for 2013 I dearly hope so I'm not even caught up on legends already out but the chase to me is half te fun, lol, anyone have any news on this at all?

I don't know if its a definite no, but I think that they're just continuing with flashbacks instead of a separate line.

There was no vote for 2013. Legends is all but dead on Matty Collector and that may be a result of what we supposedly voted for. Although, having $30 (after shipping & taxes) figures with one accessory didn't help.

Legends Line is dead. Only way to get Legends is Flashbacks and RSC Exclusives.

You might want to check "Big Lots" if you have 'em in your area. They've had some of the later retail Legends in-stock. Hope it helps!

I'm not even convinced that the voting wasn't rigged. Most of what we got was already in development for later waves, or things that were yanked from other assortments. Shouldn't have had to wait for Andre the Giant after 6 waves when the logical choice would have been wave 1. That's neither here nor there now, and even if the voting wasn't for real it doesn't matter. What they gave us was largely nice stuff, and end of the day the market is so vastly different from even 5 years ago. The market just couldn't sustain these figures anymore. I'm afraid Hasbro is in a similar boat with the Marvel Legends line, and will be learning very quickly that only die-hards are going to pay $14.99 for Klaw. Target is choked with wave 1 while wave 4 is dropping, and all that means is Target is likely to clearance them out and not carry them anymore.

The fact they are doing 4 flashbacks in one series should be very encouraging to those looking for "old timers". I never eeeeeeeever thought they would do more than 1 per wave with the occasional 2nd flashback every other or series or so.

Andre was originally planned to be packed with the Legends ring, though, hence him not being slotted in an early series. |

They should just have two flashbacks every series instead of putting Cena, Rey, Orton, or Big Show in the assortments.

^...I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen Magnum TA anywhere, seeing as how he was actually made and set for release in Legends Series 7.  They should just have two flashbacks every series instead of putting Cena, Rey, Orton, or Big Show in the assortments. Well, they have to keep putting Cena, Rey, Orton etc. in the line as they are proven sellers and popular with kids (and parents). But I agree - I'd like to see EVERY Elite series have 2 Flashbacks... ideally an 80's/90's first time Legends-type guy, and also a retro/earlier version of someone current or more recent: like with Elite 12 (Shango and Kane), 14 (Bossman and Booker), 18 (Lawler and Undertaker), and 19 (Elizabeth and HBK). I was getting a bit worried with Elite 20, 21, 22 as there are only 3 Flashbacks in total (and only 1 Legends-type guy in HTM) - but they seem to be making up for it with the 4 Flashbacks in Elite 23.  |

That voting system took place through 2011 and then we got the legends figures in 2012, it won't happen again the Legends line is dead, the only way we get them is either a Flashback in the Elite line or as a Ringside Collectibles Exclusive.

Like your thinking SteveHulk [still one of my favorite board member names on here].
Little something for everyone and I doubt most of us would complain about numerous Cenas, Reys and Ortons if they were a pre-Thug Life, WCW/ECW cruiserweight and Evolution era variants while we get classic guys like JYD, Studd, The Mountie, Anvil, etc.
