God I only hope there is a king Mabel. I’ve lost a lot of faith in Mattel over the last two years but this could at least win me over for this show. Add that to the rumored figures and maybe there will be about 5 that I would buy which will be good to see, but then I still can’t trust when they will ever be available for me to buy Mabel and Sherri are both on the way. We’ll almost certainly see Mabel at SDCC. As long as nothing happens to that Walmart Flashbacks line, you’re getting them both. So you can turn your attention to demanding Zeus.

I've heard about King Mabel, but that was a while ago, I haven't heard anything about Sherri. Plus, I would also like a Zeus and a New Generation Jeff Jarrett.

Mabel has a link on Walmart.com. He's in the next wave of Elite Flashbacks in the Walmart series after the Heartbreak Hotel set. Sherri has a upc on Brickseek and she's presumably in the Walmart wave after the Mabel set.

Just rumored still but they are now both a part of those pretty reliable leaked retailer lists. The listing just says Mabel though. In a q&a video Bill spoke of a “hypothetical king Mabel” figure so we are doing some assuming on that one.

Sherri has a upc on Brickseek and she's presumably in the Walmart wave after the Mabel set. So King Mabel is the 4th figure in the '96 Jake, 96' Stonecold, and Harley Race set that comes out later this year/early next year? That's cool. For some reason I would rather have a King Mabel (and Sir Moe) more than a Men on a Mission set. Did they say what the build-a-set was going to be with that set? I also heard they may not have a build-a-set with this group but instead have a build-a-figure instead. Any news on that? Sherri would be cool, I kind-of hope she comes with a Zeus, Macho Man Randy Savage (summer slam 89 attire) and Brother Love - get the four figures and you can build the Brother Love interview set.

No. So I messed up the order because Jake, Steamboat, Austin and Harley are coming after the Shawn HBH Set. So Mabel will be in the next set and he's penciled in along with RVD, Piper and Vader, which I'm hoping is a Piper's Pit set. No clue on the BAF sets though, as these are all just text listings. I would looooove a Brother Love, pun intended. I have no idea what’s going on with the build-a-sets. Sherri seems to be paired on the list with Bob Backlund, and two other guys I never heard of. Pete Dunne and Alexander Wolfe are both NXT talent. Well Wolfe just got called up with Sanity onto Smackdown but my guess is that those two are/were penciled in for the Target line and Backlund and Sherri are penciled in for the Walmart line, which would be the second wave of 2019 I believe. That's 100% a guess, though.

This line has gotten a bit stale IMO, Mattel needs to inject some new blood (aka new faces) into it in order to keep people interested, specifically legends collectors like myself. There are many guys that they can release figs of but for some reason refuse to. I am not sure if this is Mattel's doing or if WWE is not allowing them to release a figure of guys like Valentine, Backlund, Graham, Haku, etc.
I don't expect to see much of anything, as someone else pointed out keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed. The past couple Comic Cons have been duds IMO as far as releases of Legends goes and I have a feeling this year's edition will be pretty similar. We may see 1 or 2 new figures but probably stuff that has already been announced (i.e. Harley Race). Also, I think the shut down of TRU in the USA is going to have a significant effect not only because they were a major retailer BUT because they were a TOY retailer.
Keeping with my low expectations theme, I will leave my wish list at 3 (probably unlikely releases):
Greg Valentine Hercules Rick Martel (Strike Force Martel or Model re-paint in blue)

I would looooove a Brother Love, pun intended. Seems odd that Mabel isn't with the first set since it revolves around King of the Ring. But still cool who we are getting. Is that Steamboat supposed to be the rumored WM3 attire? I'm with you in hoping the next set is build-a piper's pit, that would be awesome. Kind-of torn on which piper attire I would prefer. Either the white shirt w/ panther on it(shorter hair from when he was a villain), the red shirt he was wearing when he broke the coconut over Snuka's head, or the black shirt he wore during his IC title reign (also had a blue and red kilt).
also, really want that Savage.

Wow, I knew about Sherri but did not know about Backlund. It seems like there is a lot of confusion surrounding the lineups for Walmart right now.

I think when we look back overall at what Mattel has done, they've done an incredible job from an overall standpoint with this line -- but the lack of "fresh faces" has made it awfully stale as of late. I know the concussion lawsuit has something to do with it but now that we're deep into the line it's time to really get creative as far as flashbacks go and give us different names and not repaints. It would really energize the line from a collector standpoint and not have people like me who have collected from the start focusing more on other brands like Star Wars, etc.

If series 3 is a KOTR themed set than Mabel is a better fit with that series then series 4. Also, the supposed lineup for series 4 doesn't fit if its a Piper's Pit build-a-set. What do Mabel, Vader & RVD have to do with Pipers Pit?! Series 1 figs fit together with the Summerslam theme (except for Syxx who is WCW), series 2 is heart break hotel theme or New Gen and all 4 figs fit with that theme. If they are thinking about a Piper's Pit then the other 3 figures (aside from Piper) should be either from the Golden Era or have appeared on Pipers Pit.

The concussion lawsuit is a factor but Not a major factor IMO. We have gotten figures from several of the guys in the lawsuit and the only key guys on there that would most likely get figs made are Demolition (secondary figures), King Kong Bundy (secondary figure), Barbarian, Repo Man, Adam Bomb, Slick & Mr. Fuji. Jannetty is another but even if he was not part of the lawsuit they still wouldn't make another figure of him due to his recent behaviour/comments.

Series 3 is supposed to come with a BAF of a previously-released name. Awesome day at axxess this morning. Red Rooster and Shark are getting new homes, since TRU is gone. JJ Dillon will have sunglasses. The BAF for the Harley Race/Austin/Jake/TBA set is a suited figure, not a background display like the previous set with Heartbreak Hotel. Billy Graham is still under contract and is up for consideration for a figure but nothing concrete. Not sure how much else I can say but the line has a great future, and is in great hands. Steve, Bill, and everyone else at Mattel, are truly doing the best possible work for the line. Awesome stuff still to come this year. Keep using #wweelitesquad to push for the stage and crowd on display at axxess to be released! Unfortunately it's not a new character Also, there's no guarantee that Series 4 will include a Piper's Pit, or Piper even. Those are months-old placeholder names that will likely change.
