He was one of my main wants too - that's why I bought him off Amazon when it was released. And you can still get a loose one for about $30 on a well known auction site... I think if you can consistently find a complete figure within $10 or $15 of retail, a reissue probably isn't really warranted. In the grand scheme of things, that's not a huge amount of money in a cash-guzzling hobby like action figure collecting. In my experiences, people who balk at prices like that for "out-of-production" figures are likely to be the ones who get wishy-washy about spending $21 at retail if and when a figure finally gets reissued. I've bought quite a few of your figures for a lot more than that and now I'm poor.

Well, I've barely sold any figures since last fall, so might be time for Old Baby to find a better job. ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif)

Release elite Dusty Rhodes as a flashback for those fans outside the States that could not get him. Those are the sorts of figures Mattel should be rereleasing. I agree. And also for those of us who collect Moc but don't wanna buy the ring just to get that particular Dusty figure. I'd much rather have that one as a flashback elite.

For every figure mentioned here there's an alternate attire that can be made

I like the suggestions about having some basic looks or other alterations replace Lost Legends & RSC exclusives etc.
For instance, If they made reissue Hacksaw Jim Duggan with the American Flag face in Elite style that would be way cooler. Adding the 2 x 4 wood accessory is a must but the American Flag is not needed as that is annoying accessory that goes in the drawer.

People are acting like RSC exclusives couldn't happen but WM32 Brock already was that with a different scan.

No.
No.

Re-issues sell like horse poo at retail.
Keep releasing FRESH and NEW, Mattel!

No. No. No. Re-issues sell like horse poo at retail. Keep releasing FRESH and NEW, Mattel! They can do both & the new are part of the waves. You can't escape Flashback, elite legends, WM, TNAF, Walmart & Walgreens exclusives & Hall Of Fame figures (sometimes the exact same, minor changes or with different looks most of the time).

While there are so many characters and attires to do there should be ZERO rereleases.

I have brought the re released ones that I didn't get originally
But to be honest I don't like it I'd rather hunt for the original at a good price as that's more fun for me and what "collecting" is about IMO
For example I purchased network spotlight bossman, lost legends Shawn, taker and kamala which was great and was happy to have them but it doesn't beat finding that eBay seller doing a 99p auction hoping it doesn't go over your max bid or going to a car boot sale (uk) and finding someone selling their collection and trying to get their price down, coming across awesome steals like that is what gives me the buzz when I'm collecting and now I'm not that arsed about finding those original figures even though I still want them and has sort of ruined it

WM32 was a different attire By different attire I'm assuming you mean the tiny design on the back of his trunks? Regardless, if people are gonna get upset over RSC exclusives with minuscule changes in attire potentially being re-released, they should already have been over that Lesnar. It pretty much rendered the RSC one obsolete

It pretty much rendered the RSC one obsolete Considering how few sets of gear Brock has worn it's a big enough difference
