Well, since I‘m an 80s kid that loved to play with Legos and would have loved to see Wrestling Legos in the early 90s, why do you think was the Stackdown line not successful an is there a complete List of figures/playsets created?

Wrestling toys are something I always bashed around, LEGO not so much. If I bashed LEGO stuff together, it was a guarantee I was gonna break a clip or bend a rod, so wrestling and LEGO don't mix well in my mind.

I think between these two links it covers everything: jandjtoys.blogspot.com/2015/03/updated-wwe-stackdown-checklist.htmljandjtoys.blogspot.com/2015/09/wwe-stackdown-series-4-checklist.htmlThere was also some stuff shown that was never released, like an NXT three-pack (I think it was Owens, Balor and Zayn). I liked the idea of StackDown and bought a bunch of the sets, but never built many of them. I wish it continued. I'd really like WWE to get a full line from Mega Construx, though.

I think lego’s are geared more towards smaller kids that aren’t into wrestling.

They released a TON of product all at once, and it felt like it almost immediately went on cleareance. I think the other problem is that wrestling doesn't really lend itself very well with Lego. They're small, barely articulated, and the appeal just isn't as strong as it is with more adventurous properties. It was a cool idea for sure, and they did some creative stuff with it.

It was a cool idea for sure, and they did some creative stuff with it. the stackdown figures look like crap but are far more articulated than lego Lego figs look way better, but as you say far less articulated However look at the star wars etc where there is a massive older collectors base and the figs are posed great. My thoughts on stackdown are shouldve gone for a closer representation. Like the kane/bearer.taker set shoulve been a lego like reproduction of the old original funeral parlour not a make believe graveyard type thing. Likewise they could've done piper pit or more recent variations. Why do silly stuff like dolph on a morotcycle? when did he ever ride a bike?

I still have the ring and a bunch of figures on a shelf. Bought it all on clearance.

Thanks for the links- and very good shout out regarding the Mega Construx brand- I think with detailed head scans and different body types, it could be a huge success also for collectors- and the figure size would even fit better than the Stackdown. And since Mattel owns the Company, it should be even „easier“. We should start a petition
