Oh look, they found those six notorious peg-warmers from every local store, opened them, and put them in a box together. Great way to get those crappy figures off the hooks and onto the shelves to make room for great, totally not retread figures like Cena, Mysterio, Cara, Clay, and Miz from B34, and Orton, Mysterio, Undertaker, Tensai, and the six pack's twin brother red/black Brock from Bo2013. Good looking out Mattel. You couldn't put one desired figure in the six pack? Would it be so bad to throw an Ambrose in there, or any diva, or any manager? How is the six pack not a great way to get those "undesirable" figures out to the collectors?

Found one. It'll go great with the plethora of the old 6packs behind it. Wow 6 of the biggest shelf warming figures together in one convenient package... f'n pathetic.

It'll move during the holidays. It's really not that bad of a set I would only replace Brock and Cara for a Punk and either Dolph or Sandow.

They won't make ESR's or a Legends line but this crap still gets put out.. An ESR would be a re-release just like these are.

I actually need 4 of those 6 but I just don't feel like paying $60. At least this set isn't as bad as the last one though.

Unfortuately they aren't asking for Legends or ESR's. And during the holidays sets like this will fly from the shelves. And honestly other than the Rey set and first Basic set of Series 1 at TRU and the Chsmpions sets at Target..I've never seen any of these boxed sets at retail. Hell as I've stated in the past my two closest WalMarts suck. They never carry and DC lines, Marvel Legends lines or WWE Elites. The only time they carry Elites are in Sept/Oct when they start their holiday resets. But once January hits Elites pegs are removed again and there's nothing until the holiday season again. If I want an Elite, DCUC or ML from WalMart I need to drive down into NJ or drive 40 min - an hour north to find a WalMart that carries these lines yearly.

I've seen so many of these go on huge sales because no one buys them. I can imagine maybe one a year for the holidays, but there's a few of these released it seems. Strange how Jakks made the RSR so many times but now "no one wants" an ESR. Times have moved on I guess!

This set is better than the last set, but at $60 I won't even bother looking at one of these at retail.

I really don't understand why they don't just repaint these and release these as exclusives. Even though there isn't much you can do with Cena, Lesnar, or Orton, Barrett could be blue, Del Rio could be red, Sin Cara could be any color. They would definitely sell better.

I really hope these 6 packs go away for good before they decide to put a CM Punk in one of them

Why cant they make a diva 6 pack? or a manager 6 pack? I'm starting to think Mattel is run by the obama administration, they are some of the only people who can look cold hard facts in the eye and go with something different. They need to take all the rumbler money, and all those stuffed teddy bear crap money, and all that power slammer money and put it into the elite line so we can get 2 of each figure in a case and not have this crap of Joe Schmoe making more money off their product on ebay than they do. Tired of Store being filled with all the crap that dont sell, then having 2 year old basics, no elites and no battlepacks because the store thinks they are full on wwe inventory. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Good set but not gonna move well at full price. Knock $20 off and it's a great deal. The last six-pack that is now at Smyths is actually decent since they eventually took a third off the price then do a 15% or 20% off sale. At one point it was as cheap as £32 which is a great price for six basics in the UK. This set is better but I think having to reduce the last one so much will put Smyths off importing this one. I really don't understand why they don't just repaint these and release these as exclusives. Even though there isn't much you can do with Cena, Lesnar, or Orton, Barrett could be blue, Del Rio could be red, Sin Cara could be any color. They would definitely sell better. Repaints would cost more to produce than straight rereleases. And I don't know that they'd make much of a difference to sales. Essentially, these things are aimed at birthday/Christmas present buyers and (to a far lesser extent) 100% MOC completists, neither of which would care about one or two repaints. Personally, I'm glad they don't change them up. I'd resent having to buy a boxset like this just for a blue Barrett. I really wanted the Nation Rock from the big IC title pack, and The Rock (and two of the belts) from the champions four-pack, but I wasn't gonna spend the money on boxsets for 'em.

Who knows if any of the Walmart's around me will even get this one in (not that I plan on buying it), since they're still fully stocked with the one that came out last year.
I'd rather see another 'Ringside Battle' playset come out again this year like the one that came out last year with ADR & Cena. The weapons were pretty good and getting a rolling stretcher was pretty cool as well.

Its not like these are rare figures, so a six pack of shelfwarmers with no changes will more than likely scientifically sell worse than something different. They aren't supposed to care if you resent buying a 6 pack for a blue Barrett. That's exactly why they should release sets like this. It worked for Jakks, I don't see why it would be any different for a real company.
