What do you all think about the Legends Two packs?
Option 1 - No longer make them exclusive to Toys R Us. That way everyone all over the world will be able to buy them at retail prices. Only way currently for international collectors to buy is on eBay as TRU doesn't ship outside of the US.
Option 2 - Drop the line now. They haven't appeared to have sold well at all so maybe drop it now. They can release the Rockers and Von Erichs in the single legends much like the Road Warriors were. I am sure collectors would prefer it was dropped after one series rather than after 2,3 or 4.
Option 3 - Open to your own thoughts....
EDIT: Apologies everyone I forgot to add an Option 4 - Leave them as is. If thats your wish please select Option 3 but make a comment stating that.
Thanks

The future isn't looking too good for these Legends 2-packs. I've done my share of buying, but they are still clogging the shelves in my area. All I really want is those Rockers and Von Erichs in series 2!!!
With Mattel dropping Legends singles from 6 to 4 figures, I don't think we'll ever see that mysterious 3rd set in the 2-pack series 2 =(
And it's a shame because you know an almost guaranteed 2-pack would be WM3 Macho/Steamboat.

The price definitely hurts them but so does the selection of superstars for the first sets of 2-packs. I don't know, if they could have chosen a weaker line-up to kick off this line.

I also think series 1's line-up hurt alot - the Bushwackers?! seriously?! On the other hand it did give us an elite style Piper, an Orton, and a Volkoff. But the 'wackers and a 2nd paultry Iron Shiek killed it. Wish they had replaced one set with the Rockers at least. |

If they were released EVERYWHERE, they would warm shelves EVERYWHERE. It's the price. Even though it makes sense to me... 2 Legends... 2 x 15.00 = 30.00... a $30 price tag LOOKS expensive... for 2 figures. It's not proper pricing for a 2-pack considering the history of wrestling figure 2-packs.
I think they should be 2 sets per series and make them WWE.com exclusives.
Let's face it, not many kids want the characters in series 1 enough to convince their parents to spend that much money for 2 action figures their dad watched 20-25 years ago.

It's the price. It's always the price.
Bulk packs are supposed to be value priced. It's always been that way.
It also doesn't help that Shiek isn't in good gear, Volkoff's head sculpt looks nothing like him, Piper has Bugs Bunny's teeth, etc.
Only the Bushwackers look decent and even then, it's almost like buying two of the same figure.
