Just wanted to know if it was better to order the elite 11 CM Punk from RSC or just wait to buy it upfront?
Plus, what's the usual wait time from RSC?

If it is something I really want I'd preorder it. (Legends Sets, DM or the occassional HHH & Orton) Sure you have to pay at the time of the order, but normally it's cheaper the earlier you order it. I didn't order the Punk because the DM Hitman was the only figure shown at SDCC that I felt I needed/wanted enough to preorder, but now the price for Punk is higher than what it was at first. As for wait time I usually get my orders the day after they ship it...which is normally the day it was received.

Well, if you're patient and want to save $20, wait until it hits shelves. But if you have $35 to waste and want it late September, go with RSC.
I could never justify paying that price but I guess some folks gotta have their figures before everyone else.

That's why I really only preordered complete sets of Legends or DM. (or the occassional HHH & Orton) But for the most part it would be complete sets + an extra of the figure I liked best as soon as they list them, because with the WFIGS discount a complete set of Legends would cost me the same or $5 more than mass retail, but I'd get them about 1-2 months before my local stores would. But for a single figure it has to be a figure that I really wanted before I'd preorder it and then it has to be the first shipment so at least I'm getting it early. But if I was going to wait for their second shipment before I preordered it I'd just wait to pick it up locally.

I have found every figure in the stores so i rarely pre order. I think it is a waste of money for one figure to be honest. Like PJ said if you get whole sets its worth it.

By the time RSC gets their backorders in stock and starts mailing them out in late September, Elite 11 will probably be hitting store shelves. So I think the initial craze period of people dropping $30 on this figure is over, because now for that price you're not going to get it soon enough to justify the price.

Remember to factor tax (if applicable) and SHIPPING costs. Shipping for one figure is incredibly inneficient money-wise.
