Can you guys stop spewing crap and hate, so people like Steve don't stop posting here? Jesus Christ.

They already ran Bill off and sent him death threats

Per AFA, no pre-sale for Legends 11. Arrive in stores late July/Early August. Presale for Legends 12

Lmao of course the legends wave I actually want the majority of gets this treatment.

[mrh]

For all you saying I am too "positive" and "nice" to Mattel, I also do share the concerns about single cases per figure. I could see it being a disaster - I wonder why they think it won't be, unless Target would open the cases and distribute evenly to the stores, but it doesn't sound like that...

[theman]

I think legends 11 and 12 are both awesome!! Don't understand so much of the hate.

oh it's absolutely going to be a disaster. Currently trying to pick up the clone wars black series from target but they did the same case style and I've seen nothing but 6 of the same figure over and over again for weeks.

I'm gonna ask Steve in the QA thread -- maybe we'll get an answer. I agree w/ you

[razorrock]

He also said it's a possibility that Legends 11 will be available online, just no pre orders.

I'm still a little worried too cause the set is so awesome, I want all 4 of them. Fingers crossed it doesn't turn out like some people think it might.

[Jackass Pacific]

in regards to the concerns about figures shelfwarming based on cena and vader...remember, those are the only 2 figures from that wave hitting shelves(apparently). so those 2 were probably sent out in higher numbers to make up for the "missing" figures of that wave.

long story short, numbers will probably be adjusted for a full 4 figure wave in store.


i don't know if this has already been said, but i haven't read back through this or the ask afa threads

[LA Knight Yeah!]

I hope it’s this xpac attire

You’re kidding me? Great, now I’ll have to pay scalper prices if I want any of them. Thanks Mattel.

Hopefully I can find someone nice who will pick them up for me for cost + shipping.

so far in my area, only Weasel Suited Bobby Heenan seems to be the peg warmer. i barely see any legends on shelves at Targets

[Deep Figure Value]

My DDP has switched to backordered, with the same delivery window. I'm not too worried yet, since this happened with my Vader too, which ultimately got delivered.

I still haven’t seen anything where somebody was hating on Steve. I mean obviously if you do something as in directing a movie, sculpting items, make toys, manufacturer cars etc. you’re gonna have criticism , if you can’t handle criticism , then you’re in the wrong profession. People here voice their opinions based on the product they pay money for, and as collectors they spend ALOT of money. And those people don’t want half baked stuff. bill has stated plenty of times how much of a big wrestling fan he is, so there is no excuse to why every legend figure which he grew up watching, is wrong. I mean, obviously you’re not going to have something do without looking at a photo and drawing up a rough draft to make sure it’s right. So, when you get figures that’s wrong or half assed, you know before it’s even released you’re going to get back lash for it. Let’s go to the UE Hogan for example, Steve mentioned it’s going to have unpainted stubble because they didn’t have time to make it right, but who’s got the gun to their head making them push this figure out now instead of pushing the release date back to make sure it’s right? And I’m not hating, I’m voicing my opinion like everybody else , we all want these figures, but when you get something that’s not right or it’s got something wrong, you ain’t excited nor want it. People voicing their opinions do it so they’ll see it and hopefully get better in time. If we get in here and never complain , bevsyse most of all complaints are deleted or never seen, then this is why we keep getting half assed product. And again, I’m not hating on Mattel or whatever, I just want something worth buying, and majority of the same posts I see are the same. And of course you have a very few who take it to far, I haven’t seen any of that yet.

My last few legends showed pre ordered and right as that date got close they went back ordered and I saw people getting theirs, I ended up getting mine about 2-3 weeks later. Now my Brutus is doing the same now showing back ordered but with the same date. But the date will get closer and probably.l move back to end of July like the last set did, but if that happens again from past experience I did get it.

Same, I’m not to worried. They did this with my Vader but it still arrived by the given date.

[Deleted]

They ruined Macho’s shirt and I was super looking forward to that accessory. It doesn’t look right. Odd decision …

Right. I don’t agree with death threats but I do agree with being able to voice your complaints and issues you have with something you are paying for. I’m sure Bill has his limits, but for example I don’t feel like that means he has to make a figure attire that’s a mashup of multiple attires.
