Awesome. I have the other 5, cant wait to add Sheik and Perfect. People need to remember if you buy them only on clearance the line will not be around long. I purchased all when they first came out at 25$then doubles at 7$ and then more at 5$. Got to support the lines you like if you want more in the future. If they were first time in the line figure or stuff that actually sells I’d be more inclined to buy at full price. Why would I waste Money on something I know will go down? Everyone can do as they please. But when the line is Discontinued because people are holding out for the Sale/Clearance prices, that will suck. They are not going to continue making a line that is not making Money. It's not much of a waste of money, I think 25$ on 1 figure every few months isn't that bad, when we are getting the cool packaging to go along with the legend releases. I see it from others point of view too. Not everyone cares about the packaging or collecting legends.

Does this one come out before Mr. Perfect? Should be after Perfect, although it could be a package deal like Duggan and Flair. Wasn't Perfect supposed to be released with Flair in the last series? I wonder why it got pushed back. Hopefully it will be released this time.

I think the idea is cool, but it takes so much away from the figure itself. For those of us who keep our figures in the box, you can only see the top half. And even then, the box is screaming with color and design, which i also feel takes away from the actual figure. But again, it's a cool idea. Maybe make the window bigger somehow.

But the point remains: we had an actual legends line that had some problems, but most saw it hitting clearance and waited to buy them once they discounted. Now it’s gone, and legends are scarce. Do what you want, including complaining when they stop getting made.

They are regular elites that should have a 18$ price tag but because of packaging I don’t care about they are an extra 7$. That’s why I hold Off

I do wish I could see more of Honkytonk and Flair. I'll probably think the same about Sheik.

That’s why I hold Off Is the price tag because of the packaging or because it is being sold at GameStop? I purchased the Elite 43 Jim Neidhart figure from GameStop and it was $24.99, seems like their figures are always listed higher than Walmart, Target, and Toysrus.

That’s why I hold Off While I wasn’t trying to justify a price with my comment, I bought Macho and Duggan because I wanted them. I’ll get Perfect because that’s a unique attire and I like the scan. If this line doesn’t continue because people wanted to save a couple bucks and waited until clearance and Mattel decides to go back to 1 flashback every one or two waves, I’ll be sad, but you won’t hear me crying like so many do around here. So I’ll repeat: you do you. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Complain on here if the shoe fits, lots of others do, without respect or tact for that matter. But sometimes actions have consequences, and I think that’s the point elitecollector89 was trying to make.

Do what you want, including complaining when they stop getting made. This is entirely my point. Buy at full price, wait and hope for clearance sale, whatever. But dont be surprised if 2 years from now some of these are selling at $100+ a pop like some legends are now.

So much so you've deciated your life to being a wrestling figure forum website moderator and you want the company that makes the dolls you buy to do well so they can make more and your passion can go on. Not rocket surgery bro bro.

Not rocket surgery bro bro. what a drama queen. This line will die, like the dozens of other failed lines Mattel has put out there. You buying these figures at $25+ isn't going to save it. Mattel is a 100+ year toy company; they have enough slush funding and stronger brands like Barbie to compensate for the loss, so at the end of the day they know more about toy manufacturing than any of us, and probably could care less if this line succeeds or not. You're not some holier-than-thou doll collector so cut the judgmental comments. what ~*Young $ Money*~ should do is give you a warning for your inappropriate name on a forum frequented by kids.

I'm the drama queen and you recommend someone gives me warning for a user name?

Dumb question ... what are those fat club-like things he's holding? He looks great -- I just don't know the reference for those ...

Everyone just relax. No one needs to get banned.
Plain and simple I don't think mods here should be boasting and bragging about getting figs on the cheap before they're even released.
It's not a good look and someone else called it out too.

Not sure where you got that idea from
