I can't say its not fathomable. Alot of people bought two. I was one do them. The tag belts pushed arn out the door hard.

If Mattel released a classic belt with every figure, even if the belt has nothing to do with the actual Legend, it would have sold better. I wouldn't say that

I didn't realize Andre and The Rockers were sold out. I had been planning to get them. Went ahead and ordered Arn and Bundy. Guess I'll get the others off Ebay/trades.

Bought 2 Arn's solely for the tag belts, may keep one, will have to look at him, but 1 is definitely being sold, without belt obviously.

I hope they put the Rockers back up because I still never got round to getting them.

I had an order that included the Rockers. It is on backorder - - holding up my entire freakin' order. They said that the Rockers MIGHT be back in stock in 90 days or so. Or they might be sold out for good.

as stated the reason he sold was because of the tag belt. people either just couldnt wait to get tully or they got afraid that matty was gonna cancel tully leaving them with one tag belt.

...yeah, Arn Anderson isn't going to outsell Andre the Giant in under a month, tag belt or not. He'll probably wind up miraculously returning in Liz's spot by the end of the year. However, if they pull him in the coming days, it'll be a long stretch before he goes back up.

It's my understanding Tully will definitely be released. In fact, I should have mine in about two weeks. I'll keep you posted.

I would not be surprised if any leftover stock shows up during the post Thanksgiving sales. I know they save back a percentage in case of broken figure / replacement figures. They do this with He Man figures, too.
OFF TOPIC: If you like He Man, you should buy the 2013 Subscription from Matty Collector . com so they don't go away! Ram Man, Jitsu, Fang Man, etc! The He Man line is in jeopardy!

The Legends always seem to restock on MC.com when a new one is released, so I wouldn't be too worried. Arn will be available again down the road, just like DDP and Andre and The Rockers. I can remember when I collected the Ghostbusters line, and the 1st Ray Stantz was trading at over $200 on the secondary market. Guess what? He's back on MC.com for standard price now.

While it might be close to being out of stock for the amount of Arn's they put up, Matty has been known to put some aside and put them up in the future when other figures go on sale. Also they know that this board gets worried and is impatient so they will buy them, including extras because they think they will later sell for more on Ebay. It's a way to move the stock, make the figure look more popular and have a demand for it later on. Its smart business.

The tag belt is probably a factor, but I'm willing to bet that they actually produced less pieces of Arn than the other Legends, since the line has been selling so slowly.
