Didn’t have a home? So it couldn’t go to WWEShop, Ringside, or Amazon like the others have been?

It would have sat forever. Sets like that are a hard sell for Mattel. They need to do accessory packs and make them cheaper and stores might be more willing to stock it. Jakks had the PERFECT business model with the hardcore ring. Release a ring. Sell a cheap cage separate, sell ring posts and aprons separate as a pack. Mattel could have released an ultimate deletion pack and included everything but the figures and knocked it down a few bucks Did Jakks make any money off it though? The hardcore ring barely lasted a year

The hardcore ring barely lasted a year I’m not sure. They did a fair amount of accessories for it so I’m Sure it sold decent enough.

They should make a better set. Ultimate deletion was not epic

Yeah me neither. Can't wait to see how many figs that will end up in MattelDesignTeam's collection. And no one else's.

The packaging looks really cool but I think I’ll pass on this one. Just saw a video stating this line would be cancelled. Welp, that sucks. Had no idea this was apart of the epic moments line. I was able to get the FOF set fairly cheap recently and passed up on the MOM set although it was the same price. I thought I was getting a deal. Didn’t know it had to do with the fact that this line totally bombed. Also saw a headline on Yahoo business stating “Mattel is going the way of TRU.” Hopefully that part isn’t true but from what I read the company seems to be “unsalvageable.”

This is getting rather silly now. How can we be excited/enthusiastic for SDCC this year when half of the stuff shown might end up cancelled because “it doesn’t have a home”.
Grade A bull**** from Mattel.

Mattel should have just let MGAE buy them out.

It will be standard generic answers as always. I do thank Mattel for the amount of WWE figures they make. We may not always get the ones we want or the attire we want, but they do try sometimes. *My positive Mattel comment for the day.*

Before set DELETED thread be like: "Nobody wants this. Hard pass"
After set DELETED thread be like: "DAMN YOU MATTEL I WANT THIS BAD"

Canceled like the Nitro Notables set canceled or canceled like the Paul Bearer BAF set canceled? Could be Ross, Marshall's ,T.J. Max, Big Lots canceled... but my money is on Hall of Fall Cactus Jack canceled ;p

People like to complain about exclusives like Dunne, Sherri, etc inserted into the main line but at least they’re a way to guarantee these figures get released. I’d much rather have a Pat Patterson be hard to find than a Wendi Richter impossible to find because she was in a set that got canceled.

Part of me thinks Bill made this set so he could cancel it and say "The Set Was DELETED"
