basically it would reduce the number of repeats for modern dudes in each basic wave or 2 packs and keep things a bit fresher yknow...instad of the Flashback/heritage type waves we get?
I mean they have a fair selection of guys signed to legends deals with some fairly popular attires yet to be made.why not insert some of the following into basic single waves at say one per wave...
British Bulldog-any of his 91-94 looks?Id love his attire from RR95 personally.
DX HHH-Royal Rumble 99 & Summerslm 98 are always popular
HBK-DX:IYH,Summerslam 95 or WM14
Undertaker in his grey/black(with less tats)
Bret Hart-plenty to choose from
Ultimate Warrior U.S.A
Hacksaw Jim Duggan in his singlet
Million $$ Man in his white trunks
Barry Windham.....Ill take him in basic.
Nash in one of his many WCW attires
some ideas for 2 packs
New Age Outlaws in their 97/early 98 pre DX attires(use the tshirt torso mold for Roadie
LOD in the red black folks clamor for?
another Rockers set?they had heaps of great attires
maybe vs sets?
it could be a great way to keep things ticking over
thoughts?

Series 29 wasn't really a heritage wave, we got Austin, Warrior and Eddie Guerrero in that set along with modern wrestlers Punk and Big Show.

Joker you know my answer. I'll buy Legends/FB's of wrestlers I like anyway they want to release them. Elite, Basic, 2-Pack I'll take them.

Honestly, I'd prefer Elite versions over Basics. Don't they normally put out a "Flashback" set every year already? I remember the Royal Rumble series and B29 for sure.
An occasional Flashback isn't bad, but I think they'd serve themselves better if they put that creativity towards the next waves of Elites.

They also put out that Wrestlemania Heritage Set late last year/this year with Kane, Macho Man, Mark Henry, Daniel Bryan, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels all from different Wrestlemania's. Mattel did that The year before that as well with the set featuring Eddie Guerrero, Big Show, Undertaker, Triple H, Cena and Jack Swagger. |

Thanks, I totally forgot about B26 & that other Heritage set. |

What a waste I'll be pissed if they make a flashback basic I want and I have to do the elite conversion since basics suck. I mean it's not a horrible idea, but I dont like basics when I can have elites.

Basic/Elite don't make a difference to me with Mattel because they fit in together very nicely on my shelves. Hell I purchased both Jakks CS and CSDA so I would gladly do the same with Mattel figures for more legendary wrestlers. But I don't want a Bryan from a WM event that was two years ago to be considered a FB. Of the figures mentioned above from the WMH lines only the Kane, Eddie, Warrior, Macho and Triple H would I consider FB's. So when I say yes I'm talking guys that would have been in the Legends line or at least attires from 5 years ago for modern guys. Certainly not attires worn since Mattel took over the WWE license.

It wouldn't hurt to try it. Even though they would be packed 1 per case or 1 per every other case

No. I only want Elite legends. They can do all the repaints they want with guys they've already released as Basic but I don't want new guys like Barry Windham to be Basic.

I'd love it,if it gets us more classic/legends guys.we've had several already as Basics:
Ultimate Warrior (twice)
Eddie Guerrero (twice)
Stone Cold Steve Austin (3 times)
Bret Hart
Shawn Michaels (twice)
Kane
Rey Mysterio (in the 6-pack,twice)
Undertaker (twice)
Roddy Piper
Chris Jericho
The Rock ( 3 times)
Million Dollar Man
...so, I'm definitely not opposed to it. put 1 FB-style figure in each series,and 3 in each Heritage series.

Elites in trunks look like they have reverse wedgies going on in the front. As the trunks are cut too high. |

I would like to see 1 or 2 of the basic wave slots filled with flashback ones yes. Maybe 1 of the 3 battlepack each wave as well.

I'm for any flashbacks we could get, basic or elite ill buy them all
i'd love to see a "Flashback" Battle Pack inserted into a series once and awhile
take 2 guys they have signed and put them in a pack commemorating a specific match between the 2, and each in their attire from that match (HBK/Jericho from WM19 as an example)
