My wife is absolutely going to flip her lid if she finds out I spent $35 on Vickie Guerrero, but that's how bad I want that figure. Instantly pre-ordered!

If Zeke isn't amazing this set is a total pass for me.

i can not justify $35 for Vickie but I don't feel like taking my chances at retail, also I wish there were pics of Jackson so I could buy that and Vickie together, damn it!

Why does Mattel always short pack the figures that are going to be in the most demand, yet they over pack the figures that are going to be shelf warmers?
To me, this makes no sense. It only creates demand and profit for those selling WWE figures on the secondary market, i.e online stores such as Ringside. Mattel never gets any of this profit.
Zack Ryder, Vickie, Slater/Christian....all in demand, all short packed. Yet the non-short packed figures warm the shelves and make retailers think Mattel's don't sell and then they don't order as much.
So now all the people who want Vickie are either going to have to try really hard to find her in stores, or pay 4 times as much online from a seller Mattel gets none of the profit for, while Undertaker, Mysterio, Jackson, R-Truth and Morrison warm shelves in stores.
Seems like ass backwards business to me.

Different reasons for justification on my part, as I am a big fan for one, there are a couple other users in my area that search retail like I do that could beat me to her, and there is a scalper or 2 in my area that sells on eBay. Plus I have a small amount of expendable income, so I was willing to drop that much for my favorite Cougar...

USD 30,- for Vicky and USD 25,- for Zeke? No thanks, as I won't be getting them for these outrageous prices!

Ordered the entire series, was cheaper that way sadly instead of just ordering zeke and Vickie alone for $55.

Wow...I just did something I never thought I would do and that was blind buy the entire set. I REALLY want Vickie and don't want to risk not finding her at retail since a lot of the harder to find basics like Ryder, Del Rio, Barrett and others are pretty scarce around here. But I didn't feel like spending $35 on just her so I bought the whole set knowing I'll probably keep Zeke as well. The rest, unless they are way better than versions I already have, will go on eBay and hopefully when it's all said and done I'll make out a bit better this way. Guess we'll see come the end of October.

The whole series is an easy pass for me. I wish it was Layla getting a figure instead of Vickie.

Hoping Vickie is still in stock by Friday as that will be when I order her. Just spent $70 at RSC earlier this week and need to wait.

FYI - Vickie is very limited. She is short packed in this series. She is zero per case in one mix and 1 per case in the other. We have a very limited amount. Some need to be reserved for sets and a few were put up for singles if people just want to purchase that one figure which is obviously highly in demand. If you buy the set its $90 - 10% (WFIGS coupon code) which is $13.50 per figure plus shipping (no tax except in NY). And remember this is at least a month before they will be in any stores.

Seems like ass backwards business to me. They always seem to do this. Most collectors will buy the first time releases but Mattel will put only one of them in the case and several Cena, Mysterio, Orton, & Undertaker figures in a case which will warm the shelves and cause the next Series to take forever to come out. Mattel has got to realize that these wrestlers don't sell well on their own and won't sell in 2 packs unless they have somebody that has yet to be released. They are only doing it because we are willing to pay it.

Sure. Mix 1 Rey - 3 Vickie - 1 Morrison - 2 R-Truth - 2 Zeek - 1 Undertaker - 3 Mix 2 Rey - 3 Morrison - 2 R-Truth - 3 Zeek - 2 Undertaker - 2 The problem with this is most of the stores already have several different Undertakers warming the shelves and now they are going to put out cases with several more in them. He should be 1 per case. He hasn't even been on TV for the majority of the past year. Vickie should be atleast 2 per case since the Divas are usually the first ones gone when they are put out and usually the only first time release in the sets.

I would love to order these, but postage to UK is $60, on top of the $90 for the figs - not paying that for Basics.
Will take my chances another way to pick up Vickie Guerrero.
