Would you as a consumer buy another flashback if they produced it like say how tna did in the beginning 5 current guys one legend or flashback like say with the basic line I read on here everyday about how sick they are of seeing Orton, Cena, Rey, Ryder what about making a spot for a elite flashback yes it would cost more then a basic but the gives us a chance to snag 6-8 more classic guys a year. Mattel has contracts that are just going to waste I for one would like to see a Savio Vega or a Magnum T.A. heck even a Lita or Trish flashback I'm not saying take them from the elite Lines, I'm saying take one of the 6 away from basic and replace it with a not so easy to find flashback just an idea. what is the thoughts of fellow wfigs members ?

As long as they're all Elite figures, I'm fine with this idea.

cause basics get exclusives, 2 packs and basics elites get well elites and once in a while a exclusive via RSC or Matty but that is gone

Just as long as it's not Savio Vega.

One of the worst ideas I've seen - sure it'd be great, but it's an unfeasible pipe dream. They're not going to put elite flashbacks in the basic line. The price points and the budgets would not work. Might as well ask for them to make a Defining Moments attitude era 25-pack for $3. I'd buy four!
I'd be fine with the occasional basic flashback and flashback battle pack though. Legion of Doom in particular as we're probably never seeing elite-style singles of them again.

Maybe it's too early in the morning, but I couldn't make heads or tail out of the post. Judging by after the comments after you want and Elite FB in with the basis line. As much as I love FB and want more Legends...that won't happen. But I would love more old school/FB's in basic style.

I've been saying for a while - I'd like to see Elite waves increased to 8 figures per-series (there are always 8 figures in a box anyway)... that way, we could have a guaranteed 2-3 Flashbacks per series, along with the new and regular guys - and also maybe a couple of more obscure guys/tag-teams thrown in every now and then (PTP, Uso's).

That won't happen either. Some choices need to be 2 per case figures while others need to be 1 per 2 case figures.

I wouldnt mind a stand alone Flashback Series of 4 figures or so once or twice a year. Maybe sell them on Mattelshop or something if retail wont carry it.

I would love more Legends in the basic line. If the cut in deco and articulation is what it would take to get more Legends, that would be the best thing in my book. And both basic Eddie Guerrero and both basic Ultimate Warriors are awesome, so nobody should be so quick to assume that a basic Legends line would be a bad thing. Classic Superstars ran for, what, 27 waves or so essentially being a basic line.

I love when Mattel first introduced the concept of the Flashback series all the Mathematicians came out of the wood-work to prove to everyone how this was still good because we'd get 12+ flashbacks a year etc.
E19 - Elizabeth
E20 - Christian
E21 - Honky Tonk Man
only E22 & 23 left - one of them will be the 4xFB wave - so the MOST we'll see this year is 8-9 Flashbacks.
What a waste.
edit - oh wait RSC Exclusive Cactus Jack if you want to include that too.

It didn't start off that way though - for the first year or so, all Elites were packed 1 per-case and everything seemed fine. Then when they started to pack certain guys 2 per-case, we started getting the pegs clogged with Cena's, Orton's, and Mysterio's...

That's the thing... at first it looked pretty good: we'd be getting 12 Flashbacks a year, plus the Defining Moments figures and the Matty-exclusive Legends and RSC exclusives. Fast forward a bit though - and we're just down to 1 (2 if we're lucky) Flashbacks per series and the RSC exclusives (which, while great, are only about 3 a year?). I just wish Mattel would at least release 2 FB's in every series... surely that's not too much to ask?  |

Ok since some of you are just trolling for fun seems like that all anyone does now a days. What about 2 packs like the all stars awhile back 1 current guy one legend all my point is that Legends didnt work to well cause at the time we had those figures I'm saying start up the line all over again I just thinking there has to be ways to maybe put a few more elites out like a said the current production rate is this
Basic Figures
-Basic Series
-Signature Series/Walmart Sets
-Kmart Basics Exclusives
-Kmart 3 Packs Basic figures
Basic Ring with 2 Basic Figures
Battle Packs
Toys R Us Basic Build a Something
Elites
Elite Series
RSC Exclusive
Toys R Us Exclusive Build a set
there saying a 2 pack would be 2 expensive yet the all stars sets sold off stick a elite john cena with a no so popular older guy or stick a new not so popular guy with a huge legend and if they could sell make actual tag teams of the past smoking guns wouldn't work but APA or Godwins that would be interesting

As much as I love FB and want more Legends...that won't happen. But I would love more old school/FB's in basic style. Its amazing what the lack of punctuation does to the human mind. As for the topic, I would love a lot more FBs but sadly I know its not going to happen. On top of that, I realize that it seems over half of the stuff we're going to get is the Attitude Era junk, so Ill never get some of the figures that I truly want. |

Six elite series' a year. 2013 = 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. You forgot Shawn Michaels in 19. So we've already had three flashbacks. Honky and Giant makes five. The 4FB series makes nine. Whether that's elite 23 or 24, the other will probably have at least one flashback as well. So we'll most likely see ten-eleven in the main line as well as Cactus and at least one more RSC exclusive. And if we all loved Legends figures as much as we say we do, and if there were enough of us to matter, the MattyCollector scheme would still be running. We've all voted with our wallets, and the flashback system is clearly what we want more than the Legends at retail or the Legends at MattyCollector. |

2 Elite flashbacks would be great since they stopped the legends line

There was a bunch of legends that need to be made that didn't get put in the Legends line. So increasing the amount of Flashbacks would be great but this would slow down getting the newer guys out in the Elite line. There is still some Legends that need to be made like Ric Flair, Doink, Backlund, Brawler, Sid, and Bruno who are some of the legends that have been on TV over the past year.
