I feel like the choices of figures were bad also. Yeah older collectors bought the Horseman set but after that there was no appeal. The 3 packs seemed to have moved pretty good around me. But look At who was in them. The Shield is a very solid group and all sell well with Kids. If a kid saw Macho man and sting they think colorful and they pop out regardless if they know who they are or not

My local Targets just started to put the Heenan Family four pack on the shelves. I've never seen those in the wild, but the moment I do, they're on clearance.

I think the selections were fine. We finally got a Windham, Heenan, & Studd out of them. But I think it was the price point that scared people away. It's not easy for most people to plot down 50 dollars for action figures.
I do think it might have been wise to not pigeon-hole themselves with everyone having to be in the HOF. That being said, in a perfect world, some sets I would love to have seen...
Mega Powers vs Mega Bucks WM3 set (Hogan, Andre, Savage, Steamboat) British Bulldogs vs Hart Foundation Demolition (all 3) & Mr Fuji Undertaker, Kane, Mankind, Paul Bearer Sting, Dusty, Road Warriors Terry Funk, Cactus Jack, Paul Heyman, Bam Bam Bigelow Savage, Warrior, Elizabeth, Sheri (from WM7)

It doesn't seem like they have a lot of wrestlers signed to a Legends deal. They might have to change the 4 packs to modern or mix generations.
I think the WWF, ECW or WCW 4 packs would sell and get more attention then just having it limited to HOF members.

The 4 packs were/are doomed regardless of who was in it. 4 elites @ $50 is a steal but parents dont see it like that. They're just gonna get little Timmy a $10-$20 figure and shut him up. It's less about Lil Timmy's parents not wanting to pony up for the 4 packs and more of the adult collectors not wanting to pay full price. Look at the HOF WCW ring w/NWA Dusty Rhodes. Not something catering to kids. Most peeps here said they were waiting for it to go deep discount before buying one. And it did about 5 months later because it was being discontinued.

That is true to a point but remember the adult collector is still a minority in the collecting community.

I've only found the Heenan 4 pack once. That's an awesome price.

We may want more but Mattel wants to make profits.

We may want more but Mattel wants to make profits. The single figures seem to sell fine. Like I said in a previous thread in the past couple years the only Flashback type figures that have really hung around were E33 JYD and HOF Tito. They're not rotting nearly as bad as Mutants/Zombies or the Retros are though yet those lines seem to keep getting renewed & new releases. Flashback basics, IMO are just a bad idea. Ive never seen anyone say "I only collect Basic Flashback" in the 7yrs Mattel has had the contract. Everyone seems to collect Elites and then end up buying basics to convert to elites.

I still see more Sid currently than any other Flashback. Some Walmarts still are filled with Sid. Only Damien Mizdow and Daniel Bryan matches his numbers. Tito is stuck in Target for the duro. Only HOF figure that cannot sale. Flashback basics was something people said they wanted but really wanted an elite version. Red Kane, though is a hot seller.

I just got back from target where they had 8 Heenan family sets, priced at $14.98 Every Mr Perfect had horrible blotches on their chests. It looked like the skin paint was rubbed off somehow

The numbers on that kane will hopefully show them how much money they're wasting by not re releasing the elite version. Seriously that would sell agin quite well.

My thoughts on the 4 packs are this. The 4 horseman 3 of those figures were all made within the last few years and the only new 1 is Windham. So even though I bought all individual figures and 2 of the 4 packs I could see where another collector might not spend $50.00 for a Barry Windham figure. The same is true for the Hennan Family. Hennan is great, John Studd is new. GREAT! Andre was made and so was Mr. Perfect so again $50.00 for 2 figures. So what would have happened if they had Hercules and Haku in the Hennan family along with Studd? To me that is the only real way to gage 4 packs. Not that flashback figures don't sell.

Celebrity Personalities Drew Carey Mr. T Arnold Schwarzenegger Snoop DoggPresident Donald Trump should be a Ring Side Collectibles Exclusive

Literally just was at Target and the whole Heenan family was $14.98.... wow how the mighty have fallen it would have been a really good concept if you would have done it with some current wrestlers first instead of doing the four horsemen in the Heenan family they should have done the faces of Sting or four members of the NWO My stores won't discount the heenan and that's the one I want Use the price scanner. Sometimes stuff gets marked down with no indication. I'be gotten tons of stuff on sale or on clearance with no sticker indicating so.
