How can anyone be mad at the seller? These buyers are paying a lot of cash and you will be stupid to not sell it now for $75, wait 2 months and buy 3 in store for that price. True, but people live in the now, sometimes ridiculously so. Think of the people that paid $500-600 for the Punk shirt.

Is it possible RSC could order more product for their initial shipment? The scalper type is preying on anyone who missed the first round of preorders. If you don't want to wait 1-3 months, where else can you go?

If you don't want to wait 1-3 months, where else can you go? i dont think rsc would want order more 1st shipments since they wouldnt want to pay the extra high price of overseas airmail. if you miss out on the preorders, dont want to wait, and dont have the money to pay a scalper prices then your s.o.l

But usually the preorder turns into a backorder. Could RSC keep the preorder going and order more for the first shipment. For example, if you look at elite 12, Randy and Alberto they are on pre-order while the other figures are on back order. If money is still coming in, why not order more? Right now, in regards to Elite 11, it seems RSC is losing customers to ebay. I didn't preorder 11 but if RSC had extras, I would pay a reasonable markup or I could just wait until MattelShop gets them in like I did with E10.

Or, people can actually work together and help each other rather than trying to make all the extra money.
Cmon people...this is a shared community..shouldn't we maybe try to help each other, rather than try and rip each other off?

If you chose not to order, thats on you. If you did choose to order and you ordered more than 1....why would you do that to "help" another member? That member can order one himself.

Economy is bad n if ppl are willing to pay u for it might as well capitalize. It's sucks but scalpers are in every market.

I don't know if I worded that correctly but because I didn't preorder E11, RSC may eventually lose my money like they did with E10 plus a Von Erich. Now if RSC had some extra, I along with many others, would have gladly given RSC the extra money to pay for the early shipments. Instead money appears to be going to ebay scalpers. Maybe it's not feasible for RSC to do that? and of course I don't want RSC to get stuck with overstock. Right now with e11 that doesn't seem likely, except for Rey, lol.

If prices continue to go up RS could potentially loose customers b/c not every1 is willing to pay more. I mean a lot of us complain about the prices now. They can't always predict how well the series will sell so they order what they can to keep prices down at a reasonable cost and where they can still make a profit. Look at E9 Miz and Ryder, when they hit the $30+ mark we all rightfully complained. If you have to preorder figs at that price less ppl will. And don't forget all the prices in each series would have to go up. So while Punk would sell at the higher price figs like Rey with a rubber shirt wouldn't sell for $30.

I'll just wait until my backorder comes in, no sweat... and If people want to sell and people are willing to pay those prices, so be it, I'll just go with the 25 I paid (which is sky high itself lol)

You guys are looking at a handful of single pieces on ebay. You are making a whole lot of noise about nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if the original poster or someone ib this thread posted the auction and is trying to get attention for it. There are only one or two auctions for Punk. If we put 5 of each figure on eBay right now, the price would drop in the blink of an eye. Does it really surprise anyone after the Punk t-shirt insanity there might be 2-3 people crazy enough to bid up a figure like that. And unlike the t-shirt, the figure can be easily purchased for less from many places.

If u put the other E11 figs up yea I agree they would drop but not drastically.

Well, MattelShop had E10 while RSC was still in backorder. So I gave Mattel my money instead of RSC. I bet others did too. Hi Brian, I didn't know that was you until I saw an earlier post to you from PJ. Thank you for the offer but right now I'm holding off on E11. There's too much stuff out, I feel like I'm bleeding money and I plan on losing more blood. Right now my current obsession is finding Batman Legacy 2 figures at K-mart and I want to see the Thundercats at retail before jumping into that line. So far I have Classic Lion-O and he is too cool.
