My opinion only, but it's a mystery to me why anyone under the age of 40/50 would want either of these anyway. Same goes for all these other "in-demand", 60's/70's/80's legends... I mean, how many people here are actually old enough to remember seeing people like Blassie, Graham, Sammartino, Muraco and Harley Race, wrestle/appear either in person, or on TV? Not a hell of a lot, I'm guessing. I'm 40 myself, didn't start watching 'till the mid-80's - so don't remember seeing any of them, and thus, have not had any inclination whatsoever to buy any of them. Valentine, I do remember, but he's so plain and bland, I won't be buying him either. The only time I've seen Harley Race on tv, is when they brought him in to be "killed" by Orton. Like I said it's just my view, but I've never understood - even going back to the JAKKS CS days, why people have a desire to own figures of talent, they're not old enough to remember - or in some cases, hadn't even been born. 36 here and first even I watched was summerslam 88 and Superstar was in commentary. Keep in mind at that point there was 1-4 PPV a year so most of us went and got VHS releases of the past ppvs. To catch up at that time meant I only had to get mania 1-4, and a single survivor series tape. Once that was done I’d seen Blassie plenty and a bunch of other guys. I’ll buy pretty much anyone from the 80’s onwards.

They were on RSC for a couple of days which was plenty of time to put an order in. Hey, just to point out something. Some of us are very poor and only get, say, 70 bucks a week to play with. If I want to make an order from RSC, I have to plan two weeks in advance. So to say that something being on the site for three days is plenty of time? That's really making a huge assumption against people who live week to week, paycheck to paycheck. Not everyone who collects figures has money. Some of us have quite meager funds and have to choose weekly between "Well, do I buy milk this week, or do I treat myself to a used basic." There's a huge reason I can't bear to pay over retail for figures. It's because, if I put out 45 dollars for a single store exclusive, that's half my weekly allotment (which is supposed to pay for things like food and gas, with maybe about 20 bucks pocket money at most for me). I'm not trying to be mean here just... try not to assume, OK? I sympathize with this but as an international collector on a budget I planned for the drop and set money aside. AFA and rsc told us both we’re gonna be on rsc. Why not just put some of that budget aside and be ready? If you don’t have the budget spare to get them it won’t matter when or where they drop.

I got superstar, was not risking it even at 34.99.
That said if they somehow stick around and drop I may get a second for 80’s commentator display.

I'd like Kane as Undertaker to go with Undertaker as Kane. ![](https://uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kane-as-undertaker.jpg) I’d buy this for the coat alone. I like some of the ideas. DX as Vince and Shane is another one some may like.

I hope we get them, too many incomplete stables and decent customs cost too much. I’ve got a custom Owen for my Foundation, but incomplete corporation, ministry, brood and nation does frustrate me. Thankfully Chyna is on the way for dx at least. Incomplete Too Cool as well😢 Oh man forgot that one.

Don’t know what will be where but realistic legends I’d like to see included are :
Suited Regal from commissioner days. Acolytes. Lawler from mid 90’s. War zone Vince. Faarooq with blue helmet. 96 warrior. Hollywood blonde Austin. Mabel from MoM. Kama Mustafa. Nation Kama.
Then any of these less realistic ones would make me happy:
Tazz. Sabu. Test. Val. Smoking Gunn’s. Mo. Konnan. Buff Bagwell. Slick. Fuji. LoD blue or gold. Earl Hebner. Holly’s. RVD.

I ordered the first one that went up that never specified if it was chase or not. Won’t get another until after that arrives to be safe. If it means I miss the chase I’ll live, but had they both gone up at the same time or it specifically said I wouldn’t get the chase I would have bought both.

I went mania 20 but would buy the e and c as well. Only went 20 as I have matching e and c and brood edge and Christian so a spare Christian from that era doesn’t line up with an edge.

Always gonna be an issue, more so for international collectors like me. Difference in price is minimum 2x normally 3x if it’s a store exclusive. Main line flashbacks are always purchases for me. Ask your country's retailers to stock them then. I'm also an international customer and it doesn't bother me but I do realize everyone had a budget and not everyone travels to the US for work/recreation. Sadly I’m not on that level with target here in oz haha. RSC is my best bet. Blassie pre ordered and I will continue to get everyone they do.

Just ordered Blassie and cheaper than I got Gorilla, Patterson, Brisco or Sherri.
Legit thanks to RSC for getting this. I’m so pumped!

I contacted Mattel Aus customer service about Legends and was informed : "Unfortunately we won't be ranging the legends series" That’s so annoying. I can find multiple aj, Finn and Seth Rollins figures every week yet every flashback sells out instantly. It’s like this company doesn’t want out money sometimes.
