I'm okay with re-releases. There's a few I wouldn't mind seeing get put out again so I can get them without paying ridiculous secondary market prices.

We did a packaging treatment on Magnum to acknowledge that he was originally supposed to be in Legends though... As an older fan and a massive fan of Magnum T.A. since I was a kid, I want to thank you for any part you had in getting a figure of him released. Especially I only really collect Legends from the NWA Crockett era. Now about that NWA era Dusty Rhodes.... |

I'm so tired of these reissues and rereleaes. I know it's the cool Thing around here to say then don't buy them but that's exactly how lines fail and don't keep going. Also kills the secondary market. Not saying I want to buy a car when I sell my figures but it's nice knowing you have something a little harder to find I'm all for more Legends, but there definitely seems to be a difference between what people say they want and what people actually pay money for. The failure of the HoF 4-packs, the Defining Moments Undertaker, and the Spotlight Boss Man seem to back that up. |

Agreed but we're getting reissues of guys who aren't hard to find for decent prices on the secondary market. I'm thinking of George Steele, Kamala, and even more recently, that Elite 23 Undertaker. |

So, does that mean the HBK is one of the old HBK ones that have already been released? HBK is rumoured to be a repaint of Elite 19 so it could be any attire from around that era I'm guessing. Warrior is rumoured as a rerelease of legends 6 Taker is a rumoured release or repaint of elite 23 |

Hard to say since ringside is offering the protective cases with them that already exist for the current packaging. he means the art, not the packageing as a whole. |

The failure of the HoF 4-packs, the Defining Moments Undertaker, and the Spotlight Boss Man seem to back that up. I mean people wanted the taker and bossman. It sold for good money on eBay. Which is fine. There was a mass release of them and the people who got it should have the first time. I missed out on RSC hall and just paid 46$ for one. Am I complaining? No I was a jackass and didn't get it when I had numerous attempts to. They couldn't give those takers away after SDCC. Just because a few people pay for them on eBay and secondary market doesn't mean there is a big enough market for it to sell well again at retail |

I have the HBK and Warrior, but since they're two of the most popular attires for HBK and Warrior, I'd buy them again. I missed out on E23 Taker, so I'd buy that one, too. |

Wow lol. I pay hardly any attention to the current value |

they haven't rereleased anything prior to elite 14 yet. Which is when i started collecting.
that'll be fun when they re-release all the really old figures i spent the last couple years trying to track down.
re-release elite 37 Seth Rollins, TRU Seth Rollins and DM Bret Hart. Because im at the point where i utterly refuse to pay the prices that people are asking for them

i wish they weren't straight up re-releases.
like literally, all u have to do to get me to buy them again is:
- make Takers gloves & boot cover more purple (than the blueish they looked)
- give HBK kneepads and chest hair
- a different pattern on Kamalas skirt and a yellow star to the side of his belly like the hasbro
- different head on Warrior and the correct yellow belt

Nice to see the return of Legends, but no need for duplicates, and no elite preorder for me since their is no Koko.

Very disappointing that the Elite Legends is a bunch of repaints. I missed out on Kamala so I'm actually excited about that one but the figures could of easily been modified. I would have loved an HBK in red, but even if he was in black I agree just add some chest hair or kneepads and I would of bought the figure. Taker could of been modified in some way as well and Warrior could of at least been released with his paint wearing or something of that sort. I just canceled my complete set order and placed another order for the ones I wanted which are Kamala, Magnum TA, and Jericho.
