Flashbacks are selling great. the buzz for old school figs is back again.
would you like to see Mattel give it one more try with a Flashbacks only line?
maybe 4-5 figs per set, every 3 months. EASY sales IMO.
1st line of 5 figs:
Cena debut outfit Undertaker (purple gloves) Big John Studd LOD in Red
this line would sell!
What do you say fellow collectors or Mattel design team?

Honestly, no. I enjoy buying all of the Flasbacks and the way they're releasing them we're getting a good mixture of different eras. If they went to a more regular line I know they would fill it with Attitude Era stuff and I dont want a collection full of that nor could I afford to just buy stuff I dont want.

Of course, why wouldn't you want more options as a collector?
But in reality, Mattel has a good formula down for the FBs and I'd rather not see that messed up. We saw the FBs get their own line, it was called Legends. That didn't turn out so well and I'd rather have a little than none at all. If they can get us 2 in a lineup or the 4 that are coming and it works well then great. I'm all for the happy medium.

I used to be a completest and collecting got kinda boring, kind of like a chore.... I think you should never buy any figure you don't want to buy just for the sake of completing a collection.

Sure but it isn't Mattel that stopped legends, it was retail. Same thing for Elite Scale Ring.
I think we will see a smaller Elite Scale Ring first then Legends getting their own line again.

Honestly I feel that now Mattel has gained a crapton of popularity with their WWE line and now that they have everyones attention now its the time to pump more and more items out. Including legends, another esr..
I feel the only reason that the legends line originally failed was because mattel was so new that people didn't think they wanted to start a whole new collection; and mattel didn't have a big enough wrestling fig fanbase yet to sell as much as they would've liked.
Now the flashbacks go for 5x retail in some cases. The Elite scale Ring is going for 200-400 bucks. These things are now IN DEMAND because the WWE product that mattel has been producing is now hitting an all time high in popularity. And they have no reason to not be confident in that a legends line would sell.

I think 2 or 3 waves a year with 4 figures with some variations in attire would be sweet. Maybe some kind of Mattelshop exclusive if retail wont bite.

I don't like the Flashbacks taking up space in the Elite line, but I don't want this line if it takes away from the amount of Elites we get.

I dont care for todays wrestling and would like to buy a good 20 80's/early 90's figs a year!

maybe this set with 4 flashbacks is a trial run.
if they all sell well, maybe Mattel will give them their own line.
we can only hope!

I'd be interested to see how well they'd do with the Elite packaging. A small part of why Legends bombed is probably due to the packaging. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but if you're less inclined to be into 80s and some of 90s wrestling, why would you even bother looking through the pegs? With the similar Elite packaging, that would catch the eye of anyone who likes Elites. And maybe they'd see a guy they'd like that way, instead of ignoring it entirely.
I know when they launched the 2010 MMPR line, they had an entirely different packaging. And now whenever I see something with the MMPR logo, it looks more like the packaging that all the new figures would have. Could be an effective marketing strategy for anyone on the fringe, perhaps.

for me, no, i love the flashbacks as is. the flashbacks are usally the first fig i get in the set. as soon as they come out i order them. i wouldn't want to have to order a whole set.
plus they would probally run out of people to to flashback of after 6 set just like the legends line. and none of us want that to happen.
