There are those that due collect in hopes of the collectibles appreciating in value. It would be unfair to them. They used to actually inform collectors of the number of units produced. Not sure why they stopped doing that. Maybe that was jakks' idea in the first place. See during the Jakks days exclusives were basically limited editions which were special but with Mattel exclusives are just like ordinary Elite flashbacks that RSC requests to get made. Ever RSC Mattel exclusive is like something you would see in the ordinary Elite line were Jakks ones stood out completely from the regular line.
I also believe every Jakks exclusive was limited edition of 3'000.

Am I the only one that thinks the old RSC Exclusives should return? I never had the chance to pick up any of them. At least Brock is seeing a rerelease. Not the only one, but I'd hope the minority They definitely should NOT bring back old exclusives

Oh god yes, but to appease the forum, they should be tweaked slightly, whether it be attire, face, or accessories, whatever! I just want my Masked Kane!

Nope.
Brock was up on RSC for over a year. I understand people are late to the game to collecting (I didn't start collecting until around elite 28), but it would make no sense for RSC to have old stock re-made.

How do you figure? How is a cs goldust, taz, or edge something that stands out from any other cs fig?

The sense would be for people that didnt buy them to be able to purchase them now, without being gouged on a secondary market. (and enough people would buy them) RSC would then make the $$ instead of scalpers / shops....and whomever else trying to sell them. So in those terms..it IS smart for them to do it.

I am someone who missed Macho, Cactus and a few other ones and i even say no. Nothing is worse than when a figure is devalued because its re released.

I agree about the tributes to stone cold and hbk exclusives as well as the csda two packs because the exclusives were the only csda two packs they ever made, but all the other exclusives were on par with Mattel exclusives imo

It took them like two years to sell all the Brocks after even having him on back-to-back Black Friday sales for two years in which he was cheap as well. Same goes with the Hardcore Kane. I'm sure the guys in the RSC warehouse were happy to see them go. I'm sure people will complain when the Ringside Rocky Maivia sells out too...even though he's been collecting dust at RSC for well over a year. If they re-ordered old RSC exclusives, people wouldn't buy them as fast, because they would know they could always get one later when RSC re-ordered them. If RSC has all this money tied up in old RSC exclusives, they won't want to put out new ones as often.

Yea, that would be the case if they rehashed those figures..I wasn't thinking or talking about those. I never was thinking to release all of them, just certain ones, the better selling ones.
Re-release Macho King....NWA Macho man..Punk..cactus jack. and Maybe hitman.

People saying they'll buy something and them actually putting up the money when it comes time to buy are two entirely separate things.
A not great example would be how people clamored for years for Mattel to re-release Arn and Tully and here we are watching Target have to slash the price of a four-figure Elite set down to $30 because those puppies have warmed hard almost everywhere.

I'd like an nwo Macho too, but honestly I wish they'd get a whole new head on Savage.

Well, i guess for some of those who owns the exclusives, they'd prefer to keep them as their "trophies" of the toy hunting/acquisition game. Owning that something special that not many other latecomers can possess makes them feel happy. Re-releasing those figures will "de-value" their "toy of glory" if their intention was also to resell these in the future. So that makes some sense. As for me, i do own a couple (scsa, bret, hbk, cactus jack, edge, etc.). But do i care if they make more? I seriously don't. On the contrary, i hope they remake more and i may still buy to collect both loose & mint condition. I see your point but at the end of the day they are just mass produced action figures and to have to pay £100 to buy an elite 6 Batista is ridiculous. Totally agree with you. I always set a budget and limit cap for my expense on any plastic figurine toy. If its beyond reasonable pricing, I will just move on. Nowadays, anything more than USD$30, no matter the rarity of the figure, usually wont catch my attention.

I missed out on getting the ones I wanted so I understand it's my fault. At least Brock is being re-released so that's one that I don't have too worry a lot about. At least the ECW title will be re released and hopefully the Hardcore will.

It doesn't matter. I can see it from both sides. Personally, my joy is in the figures themselves, not in owning something that's "rare". But, I can understand some collectors buying things for that reason and feeling a little ripped off when it turns out they weren't actually exclusive.

I hope they don't rerelease them. I missed a lot of them but I want them to keep moving forward with new figures.

He wore his hair in a ponytail a couple times as Diesel Lesnar - already coming Bret Hart - can do any number of different attires, and have the jacket black with pink and silver highlights The Rock - different color tights, and add an Attitude Era / Big Eagle Belt Stone Cold - already coming Edge - camo attire Macho Man - can do any number of attires with the same accessories,either the nWo or Kink versions.
