Mattel hurry up. DIESEL is in all black, make him quick. I know! There's now this paranoia in me where I have this bucket list for them to do STAT lol Same here. I have heard so much negative stuff from collectors that I'm getting worried this line might crash fast.

All my facts just prove that they are being aimed foe adults to buy. Am i Right or wrong, does matel not come on here to question all the adults at what figures they want? The majority of buyers are serious collectors, with accounts and instagram pages to show off there huge toy rooms in there homes.
Look at ebay, look at the price of ljn,Hasbro and hard to find elite prices are sky high and no Dad or mom is buying those for there kids to play with.
Oh and yes the figures are put in toy stores because that is where they sell them. Every time I go to a toy store it's adults in there buying figures. Kids are after video games, ipods,ipads. There not playing with dolls anymore.
And yes they would not be having these huge conventions for kids. They are for adults.

Let's go to conventions and show our line of wrestling figures off to kids. Have you ever gone to conventions and comiccons these things are aimed at and are filled with adults. No little kids cam afford or get themselves to these places.
I'm tired of hearing this stuff is for kids. The toys and lines being made today are for adult collectors I don't cate what anyone says. There's barely any kids on here a forum for toys talking about collecting. These companys know, adults and the one buying these up.

Agreed. When I heard retro I expected legends from the Hasbro era, and earlier. I don't care if we get some new guys or from another era, but the whole idea of this line, was in my thoughts to fill some gaps and bring back the greatest line of wrestling figures. I should of know by the packing of series 1 this line was going to fall apart. And why are they 10$ elites go for 17.99$ 19.99$ and they sell us a flimsy card and figures in black clothing only with no detail to them for 10$. I will pay no problem, but let's get figurea we want to pay 10$ for and not ones that are going to sit the clearance section. This company is taking advantage. Mattel WWE was #1 for a reason selling toys. Because we THE COLLECTORS made that happen. And we request just figures from the early 90s and you give us everything but them. You want to make Mattel #1 again how about you give us some of these guys we request. You won't ever see a retro sitting on a shelf. But nope just keep feeding us cena, reigns, sami, Enzo. Wcw figures. Its the WWE RETRO LINE so make us some WWE RETRO WRESTLERS FROM WWE the ones that you got this idea from, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Then you misunderstood the point. I dont see that being mattels fault or problem. The point was to find a new way to make money. They are never, let me say it again, NEVER, going to make an all flashback line. It would alienate 75% of its target customer base...KIDS. Like I said in my post I don't care if they use a few new guys, but don't make a line called retro and alienate the retro wrestlers from that era. There target customer is kids, but I don't know any KIDS that can go and buy a set of 6 wresting figures for 60$ or any kids that can go out and buy a set of elites for 120$. If they were aimed for kids then why do they make an elite line of figures with such detail ? Kids don't care, they just hear there favorite wrestlers name and want.

Warrior Taker Scsa Kane Mankind Hhh Rock Ko Reigns Cena Lesnar Thats under 40% of released figures being current. So we're ignoring Series 3 then? Also, when the line is sold as 'Hasbro style', for me, any guy that was around post Hasbro era isn't Retro. Retro would be pre 1994, surely? Do you class the mid 90s as 'retro'? I certainly don't. Again, this is only my interpretation and I'm not expecting everyone to agree with it. For me, Warrior and Undertaker would be the only Retro figures so far. 2 out of 16 figures officially released so far, which is 12.5% so, apologies. Agreed. When I heard retro I expected legends from the Hasbro era, and earlier. I don't care if we get some new guys or from another era, but the whole idea of this line, was in my thoughts to fill some gaps and bring back the greatest line of wrestling figures.

Extremely dissapointed in these. I don't think I'll be collecting anymore. I'll only being picking up figures that would go with the Hasbro Era timeline.
Had so much hope for this line to grow but im all set at this point.

So we know the series ringside is releasing has ambrose and seth.
So rumors were that theres a Bret hart, ric flair, Shawn Michaels and big show coming. Do you think there will be 2 other releases or will that be the next 4 to be released?

I can't find them anywhere. Hopefully by October when I get a break in bills they hit, and I can buy and share with you guys on here who are having trouble finding them.

Oh, I know. I bought 2 of each figure the night RSC made them available and now we're roughly 2 weeks away from "early October" TECHNICALLY...if we're holding them to October 1st. But yeah, it is weird. Then again, everything about this line has been screwed up since day one so... Agreed, why does this line seem to screwed up. Series 1 they release 4 of the 6 in stores. Months latee they release warrior and taker with Brock or Cena but then a shortage of Owens and reigns. Series 2 been available widely, just not in the usa. Series 3 almost ready for release, still no pictures and only 4 of the 6 are available. The last 2 months have really frustrated me to where I don't care as much about collecting them. My excitement has died.

I might get a couple owens, but I'm passing on the rest. Not a bad set just not happy with the quality of likeness.

So I've been saving all of my Mattel empty boxes for about 2 years now. I thought it'd be cool to maybe put them back in the box and display them. But it's become too messy looking and I'm not sure if I'll really ever display them back in the packages. Does anyone else save the packaging? If you don't want them I'd love to display them or make a collage out of them. I'd love to have them. Lmk

Yes, finally they have something that is decent enough to continue. I loved the Rumblers. They lasted a while. If it wasn't for nostalgia, though, would anyone like these figures? They are pretty plain. They are extremely plain, and the carding is not the greatest. I wish they would add more of a Hasbro look to the cards, and just some brighter figures. Too much dark clothing.
