While I would like more Legends figures in basic waves or more Heritage sets. No I don't think there's too many and no they shouldn't combine all the various lines into one line.
And what do you think would be gained if they did your idea? If it is to get more Elites it wouldn't happen. Different budgets. So the one wouldn't effect the other. Plus even if Mattel was to make more Elites retailers still wouldn't order more. They want the cheaper basic line so they would just order a higher volume of basics or Strikers.

Im so tired of this topic every week....if you don't like the basics don't buy then. I personally will spend $20 on a Bray Wyatt or CM Punk but im not interested in spending $20 on say Justin Gabriel or a Del Rio. I like the cheaper option because I don't like those guys. The elites exsist because of the basics...plain and simple...you take away the basics and kid friendly toys and I bet you will find that the line either dies or the amount released in a year will slip dramatically, and you won't see lower tier guys at all.

Mattel have another five years ,so you want the next five years to be boring ,
Let's see who thay have left to make rusev,adam rose,bo Dallas ,and xavier woods so that's 4
The divas ,emma ,summer Rae ,paige, so that's 3
They have already done legends ,so they can make them in basics not every one was collecting in 2010
Maybe they will cut the number of series ,but a mix up is better
Another 5 years is a long time

Too many basics? Oh sure, let's cut down so that retailers will order more Super Strikers and such.

I get the basics for gifts, body part swaps, and replacements. Sometimes if they are legends.

The Elite line, if anything, would suffer if the basic line were cancelled. Seperate budgets and all, but the money comes from the same revenue stream. Retailers order more basics because of the lower retail price. They sell well also, which is another good reason to order them. Then Mattel makes lots of money and can afford to make peg warning elites. They warm around here. Then I travel to other places and see with my own eyes that they warm elsewhere. It's seems to be a consensus from most places that Elites sell far slower. That's not an insult to the product but a testament to what is naturally known to most: expensive figures don't sell as well. Not when they've had an uneven rise. National Minimum wage went up less than three dollars in ten years, but action figures have risen as much as 15 dollars. It's a bitter pill. The basics have to exist.
Also, they are awesome.

So there is 11 basic series in a year and signature series plus best of so 78 in basics a year so the first question is there too many basic series? my idea is for 2015 in every series put one of each 1. Superstar t shirt figure 2. Legends basic 3. Regular figure from roster 4. A to Z figure starting with first superstar 5. Regular figure from roster 6. Legend /regular / A to Z figure or first in line what do you think? This is how Mattel has read your request. Cena Mysterio Orton Current Roster guy Flavor of the month guy Flashback..... Possibly Cena from 2 months ago.

Did I say superstrikers ,slam city rumblers or any others No no no No but you cut down on the basics what do you think the retailers (WM/Target/KMarts/supermarkets/etc) are going to order? Not Elites they are going to order more of the cheaper figures. because toy sales are so small a portion of their numbers they are going to stock the cheapest figures they can.
