As I was making my Wal Mart and Target runs today I noticed one thing admist the mass amount of Seth Rollins, Scarlett and Mace figures...no legends. I think Mattel should should increase the amount of legends in the elite lines from one to two. One of my local Wal Marts got in like eight or nine series 93 for some reason but every single Ricky Steamboat sold, can't say that for the rest of the talent. I think it makes sense to put newer talent in the basic line since kids prefer that line while adults with money focus on the upscale lines prefer the big name legends. Also, I think it would benefit the top pick elite line if at least one legend was included in each set.

Funny the WalMarts I hit haven’t had an elite figure since I picked up the Farooq figure a few months ago. And every Target seems to have a few Styles and a Warrior or two from the last set of Legends. As well as a few Hogans and Headshrinkers. As well as Bella or Mysterio from the Build a Dok set. And a top picks Lashley. But as a Legends guy I would like a few more released.

Main-line Elite figures are pretty scarce at retail in my area - doesn't seem to matter if they are legends or current stars, the stores simply don't get the main-line Elite sets in - EVER.
I've yet to see any Elite 100's at any retail store.

I'd love more Legends in the main line... the UK doesn't get the (Target exclusive) Legends line, so we have to pay about double (or more!) for them. I used to buy all Legends/Flashback figures, but have to be more picky these days.

I've yet to see any Elite 100's at any retail store. It's pretty much the same way where I'm at too. I saw this happen years ago when the exclusive lines started. Stores would get multiple cases of an elite set in and that's how they filled the pegs. But once every store got exclusives they basically get one case and on to the next (and a lot of times they skip one or two sets). |

Legends rule. They don’t have their own elite and ultimate line while still being in other lines for naught.

You’ll never see me arguing against more Legends!
I even think a “Top Picks” series of Hogan, Savage, and Warrior would sell like gangbusters.
