I'm fine with the way things are because I can't afford a new line of flashbacks/legends. I think the most important wrestlers that haven't been blacklisted by WWE will eventually get made and hopefully with varient basics, with the odd obsure, older older wrestler thrown in.

I think they've got to give it serious thought. If this doesn't prompt them to revive the line, nothing will.

I'm with those that can't afford another line, though I would do my best to try. I'd definitely love to see a Flair and a Hogan. If we get Sting I'd much rather have him with a more classic 80s look. I still want a new Bret Hart mold with thicker legs, and I'd be ok with a new Elite of the b37 Perfect. It seems unfeasible, but I'd love an Elite series to only be Flashbacks... If they wanted, I bet they could pull it off. You could even throw 2-3 current Superstars in there with flashback attires if they want to try and justify it.

Yes.
Why?
WWE Network! At $9.99 a month, parents will buy it. Looking at it as a financial standpoint, $9.99 with PPV's is better than $45-$60 a month for a PPV. With that being said, curiosity kills the cat. Kids will browse all the content. Obviously with Parental Controls, ECW is obviously out ( although I hope it either censors or chops out bad material) as well as some of the Attitude Era. However, kids will get their hands on past WWF and WCW content, thus blossoming their intrest in Flashbacks/Legends. Increasing the demand for Legends figures, I think 1 or 2 Flashbacks each series won't be enough. But, to further the promotion of not only Legends/Flashbacks figures, but to further the WWe Network, Mattel and WWE need to introduce.....,
A promo code inside each figure from the new WWE Network Legends line. Collect each figure from the series and all 4 or 6 promo codes to redeem one month's free o WWE Network. One promo per houshold!
This puts over both products. Gets more Legends out there, AND.... Makes WWE and Mattel money! And us the fans happy.
Do this Mattel. Take a chance.

I'm content with 2 flashbacks a series, I would be broke if I were buying sets of 6 every few months.

The quarterly we want Legends line back post!
Legends Line is not coming back. Mass Retailers, our direct customers, do not want it. Elite Flashbacks will continue going forward for the forseeable future, 1-3 per each Elite Wave. Elite sales way up last year. I am working on some cool stuff right now. Can't get too specific without getting in trouble and no one wants that. MDT

Problem is once retailers see it as a failing line, then they are extremely hesitant to pick it back up ever. I know from working at Target for so long, they see it as they only have so much space, so if something doesn't sell its out of there in 10 weeks. they could re name it like they did with the flexforce/super strikers same thing diffrent name

They don't want Legends because the first attempt was botched, zero accountability.

if the Matty Collector thing worked out. We'd be getting the 3rd wave by now. And this summer we'd be voting for another 6 wrestlers for a Wave 4 in 2015.
We'd likely have Doink, JYD, One Man Gang, Anvil by now
That was our chance to get more Legends right there. They tried.
Despite DDPs odd hair curl and orange beard.......despite Bundys ill fitting singlet and odd looking legs. Despite the poor customer service and high shipping prices from Digital River/Matty.
I did my part.
I bought all of them.

Another reason why the legends series can be successful this time is, there's new collectors supporting Mattels wrestling products.

It would be pretty cool if they could at 2 more series of elites per year and do 50% Current 50% Flashback it would make more room for new flashbacks and still have the current figures

I had to register here because I need to know, as an Elite collector who loves classic tag teams, I pretty much have nothing to look forward to then@matteldesignteam? With the current Flashback line it seems like more obscure guys and tag teams will just never be given a spot. Even modern tag teams are shunned, no Elite Usos, Prime Time Players or Los Matadores yet. And no, New Age Outlaws are not a classic tag team. I mean real classic teams like The Steiner Brothers, Natural Disasters, Nasty Boys, Legion of Doom in Red and the Fabulous Rougeaus. I just want to know if I should even bother continuing my collection or just sell it and move on.
