I wonder if, at some point, people will stop crying about WWE's biggest and most marketable stars being the ones who get the most figures. Probably not. Rey is not on tv=figure no tv=no figure Mattel said that for a long time. If were are getting a Rey then why cant we get a new elite/basic Tyson Kidd? wfigs.proboards.com/post/5743198/threadREALLY? ANOTHER ING CENA! We have had enough navy blue John Cenas already! If you have enough navy blue John Cenas, just don't buy this one. The only navy blue Cena I have is the elite. I'm not going to buy this basic. I get to save that money for other things, like the next elite series or another basic I want to buy, or GTA V, or food etc etc. Silly thing to cry about.

What if I want to spend my money on WWE figures??? Its not fair that an entire series is a bunch of overly produced figures that no kid would ever want. Why should we have to say "oh that's a set I get to skip" when if they put out a set like: Ricardo, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Tyson Kidd, Jack Swagger, and then they can squeeze in a Cara or Rey (because god forbid they don't repaint a crappy figure that never sold, and put it in the new series every single time) then it would sell like ing hotcakes among kids and collectors. I really don't understand this from a business standpoint. And as collectors this isn't something that we should be happy about. Why are we at the point where we WANT to skip sets?? That's ridiculous!!!

It is weird when people complain about having more money. Collecting sure is different now.

You're telling me that something is silly to cry about? You were crying about your GF breaking your Triple H best of pay-per-view helmet. And I'm just saying there have been too many basic navy blue Cenas , B29,32,34,Rock Battle Pack

You all realize that kids buy these too right? Yep. Which is fine, but IMO, there should be a minimum of two "new figures", per line. Meaning new characters or a new version of someone who hasn't been produced in a while. I'm tired of staring at Cena's, Cara's, and Mysterios clogging all the shelf space. Although what you guys did for E24/25 is simply incredible. The basics just lack any motivation, and not a single one of those figures scream "buy me now"! Maybe the shaved HHH, or Langston should have been in this series. Yes kids buy them, but don't you want to even it out for both kids and adult collectors alike?

Collectors want Ricardo, Kids want their heroes. Your obviously going to get a Big E Langston and Buzz cut HHH soon after this series is in retail. Why does every series need to have a new figure, this set reminds me of the best of 2012 series but hey they sold out of my area quickly and from my personal experience they didn't clog the shelves up. Be great-full for what your getting, Mattel are working hard and they are doing a much much better job than jakks ever did.

I give them a huge amount of credit over what jakks did (minus rings/accessories). Their product and the resemblance to the superstar is fantastic, however, it's sad that after only collecting for 6 months, I'm already burnt out on repeat figures, and apparently so are a bunch of others. Now I'm to a point where I hunt for really old figures or get 1 new figure every other month and it's always a "new guy" or completely redone mold and outfit. It just seems like ideas have run stale, and I'm wanting more out of them, that's all

You all realize that kids buy these too right? So let's say a store just stocked an entire case B34. A kid walks in with his mother, and looks through all the figures. Does he buy another Cena? Another Rey? Sin Cara Miz or Brodus? I don't think there's any kids left who play with wrestlers that don't have one of those 5 guys. They've been so overly produced that unless you JUST started collecting, you'd never buy them. Hell even if you did just start, you could go to any store and see a Cena,Rey,Miz,Brodus, or Cara from series past sitting there on the shelfs because no one wanted them. The kid would buy the Ricardo. But now that he went to only 1 per case, that probably won't even be possible to find. Ill say it again..I truely believe this will be your lowest selling set to date.

It just seems like ideas have run stale, and I'm wanting more out of them, that's all Mattel are great at what they do, they try so hard to make sure everyone has been on the toy scene. Heck, I agree that I would love some updated figures like Tyson Kidd, Swagger etc. But that's the Mattel system. Kids do buy these figures but as someone said, were buying and collecting kids toys aimed at that audience specifically and that they should be played with so when you put the 'heroes' and the 'goodies' in the line, kids would buy the heck out of them as they see them on TV every week and they are role models to them hence babayface but if you had a flashback like E22 gian for example, they are shelf warming in my area as kids have no clue who he is. So Mattel are going to aim more at kids than collectors but we have had E23 full of stuff for us collectors.

You all realize that kids buy these too right? We do realize that but instead of the 10tg different Cena sitting on the shelf, put a basic Kevin Nash or Diesel, Mankind, old school Rock, old school WWF Big Show, one of the other hundred legends that are signed to Legends deals We hardly need more Miz, Cena, Brodus & Mysterios to clog up the shelves. They already have the ones that haven't sold over the last year or more Does mattel not realize it. I can go by a Elite Best of 2011 Randy Orton , Elite Series 12 Orton, Elite 16 Orton & Elite 21 Orton at the same time at the same stores. That is a problem. Substitute Mysterio, Cena, Miz instead of Orton Brodus & Cara are getting there but they are not in the same category yet Great job making the figures and I am not complaining about the figs, just the selection sucks a lot of times (yes certain series are wonderful) but a lot of the selections leave a lot to be desired
