How about if they were put on pre order on matty collector. So if a certain amount were not sold we wouldn't get them. there would be no risk for mattel they don't make them if they don't sell a certain amount. It would be a good way to gauge the interest level and maybe re launch the legends line. Anyone else like the idea? |

It'd be all up for it. Flashbacks are the only figures that interest me anymore.

Id like it and hate it at the same time. I mean, Imagine if they put up Jim Neidhart...knowing we need him to complete the Hart Foundation, then he doesnt sell enough and they cancel it...we'd never...ever get it....that would suck.

The board reaction for someone failing to get enough orders would give us many great posts. |

They already gauged the interest level when they put those other Legends on MattyCollector and nobody bought them.

Someone here said that they have to sell a certain amount in a set number of days and if they don't then it's a failure. Like if they have a week to sell 3,000 but it takes them two weeks to sell 3,000 it's still considered a failure because they didn't sell enough in that first week period. |

That could work but you would have to wait a long time to get yout fig, considering they wouldnt start working on it until they sold the preorders.

WWE on Matty did not work. Not a strategy I can see us ever doing again

This is what Matty is doing for the new 1:12 scale Ecto 1. If they don't sell enough preorders, it won't be made. And they don't charge your card until it's produced and shipped.

If not Matty, then how about this:
4 RSC exclusives per year
1 TRU.com Flashback/Legend online exclusive a year
1 Walmart.com Flashback/Legend online exclusive per year
1 WWE.com Flashback/Legend online exclusive per year
1 Target.com Flashback/Legend online exclusive per year
Spread the 4 online ones out throughout the year.

legends seem to be like Taboo for Mattel. They dont want to try anything new. Even though everyone knows the original legends had many problems (oversaturation, HOF re-releases, Economy was MUCH worse when it comes to fig buying, people werent into the line yet, people burnt out from jakks, etc, etc, etc) and yet MATTEL, one of the largest toy co. in the world cant try something new and get it done. A Flashback only line with 4 figs per set and 4 sets a year is perfect! Instead us legend collectors get the run around and have to maybe wait 7 yrs or NEVER for a Luger or Big John Studd or JYD or Sid or Earthqauke or any tag teams or SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Many others a legends a set needs to have. its all attitude era or re-paints lately for flashbacks. I've never seen such a negative attitude toward a product a company makes. everytime MDT chimes in, its no we arent doing that, or no they arent signed or no we have no plans for them or no wwe wont let us or no they are not on a legends deal or no we thought about putting him in the line but decided against it. its no no no no no over and over and over. what do we have to do to get a Crush, JYD, Neidhart, Beefcake, Tatanka, Studd, etc, etc, etc?

I just don't think the online only figures deal (especially with the pricey and slow shipping) is going to ever work as well as Mattel hoped it would. I bought all the online Legends figures but am kind of glad they did die off - they are much cheaper to get as Flashbacks at retail. |
