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. most popular legends have muliple costumes that would sell so i can't see them running out of figures to make

If they don't do a separate Flashback line, then I'd like them to carry on as they are - but have a guaranteed 2 Flashbacks every Elite series... preferably a first-time 80's/90's guy and a retro version of a more modern or current wrestler. That way, we could have a guaranteed 12 FB figures a year, plus the RSC exclusives. Even better though, would be to increase every Elite series to 8 figures (...the cases always have 8 figures in anyway...) - made up of 2 or 3 Flashbacks per series, maybe a tag-team or 1 or 2 lower card guys, a couple of first-time guys, then 1 or 2 regulars (Cena, Mysterio etc.). I think, failing a separate Flashback series, this would be my favourite option. I can dream...

Ultimate Warrior (SummerSlam 1990) LOD Hawk LOD Animal Doink One Man Gang
Series 3:
Shawn Michaels (1992) Earthquake Hercules Typhoon Rick Rude
Series 4:
Ric Flair The Mountie Roddy Piper (long hair) Tatanka Koko B. Ware
Series 5:
Bret Hart (Hart foundation 1990) Jim Neidhart (Hart Foundation 1990) Brutus The Barber Beefcake Kona Crush Butch Reed

After thinkng about it, I also think they should start the set with just 4 figs. something like: Cena debut Taker (purple gloves) Warrior (any are good) Qauke, or Studd, or Piper, or Doink, (somone along those lines)

Yes! Instead of 5 or 6 per series, have 4 figures BAF:
- 1 current FB (ie Cena, Jericho, Triple H) - Tag Team (maybe every 2 series) - Main Event or mid carder
Have a manager for BAF, Heenan, Slick, Bearer, Hart, etc..

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 agree. Although I love classic figures, I prefer the current formula for Flashback figures over it being its own line. When the Legends line was released, the stores near me didn't carry them. I would have to make trips out of town and hope that they had the figures I was looking for while I was out. Some Legends I only saw once, luckily I was able to find some of the ones I was wanting. But with the Flashback series, not only does the stores near me carry Elites, but being that theres less figures to collect, its easier for me to track them down before the next series comes out. I've been lucky enough to find all of the Flashback figures at retail except for FB Kane and Elizabeth (but my wife bought her for me for Christmas, so I'm not really looking for her). I'm not saying a Legends/Classics/Flashbacks line would be a bad thing, I just prefer it how it is. Its easier on my wallet and easier to find for me.

I think the only real issue I have with FB's being included in regular Elite lines is the 1 per case thing, or like Elizabeth and Diesel/Nash showed us 1 per 0.5 cases.

I would preferably like to have a flashback line of its own. Other than having 1 or 2 every elite series.

I did the same poll except it was bring the legends back I think. anyways great idea and if it was late 80's early 90's guys not a bunch of attitude crap I'm in. I also felt mattel could take a poll see who we wanted out of maybe 10 choices then put them out. yes I know it would be a process and may take some time, but when it was going it could work. I mean when they want to they can produce figures faster so why couldnt they do it in this case. Also the runs would be lighter so I think it could work.

I dont like or collect new wrestling stuff. and getting 1-2 figs every 3-4 months sucks. I WANT TO BUY MORE THAN THAT! there are plenty of legends and repaints to do for quite awhile. Flashbacks are the 1st to put on back order on RS. The sell EVERYTIME by me in all of the stores (meijer,TRUS,walmart,target), and they sell regularly on ebay. look at completed listings for Honkytonk right now. People are collecting figs again, unlike when legends 1st started. and the Mattel line has grown and fans know it now and like the figs that are made. AND Flashbacks are hot. MDT, any input on if this would or could ever happen again?

Yes. So much yes. If not Rikishi, Gangrel. I would need these so bad. However I know some would prefer different flashback elites.

They should release one or two waves of 4 figures a year and sell them on mattelshop or something.
