I regret to inform you that we are currently sold out of Cody Elite 13. I think it would help to make a few points here: 1) The majority of our Cody Rhodes figures were sold at $17.99 - $24.99. Either as a pre-order or with the complete set. 2) The Cody price was only in the $30-40 range when we had very few pieces left 3) If you Pre-Order the complete set of Elite 14 right now and use the WF discount, you pay $17.99 per figure. If you want to cherry pick The Rock, it would cost $39.99. That is the only way we can deal with poor case packs and still stay in business. 4) The figure is short packed & very popular. Why would Mattel short pack this figure, why would the make Vickie Guerrero 1 per case, why would they make Zack Ryder 1 per case, why is Daniel Bryan 1 per case? We don't control Mattel's poor case packs and we have to pay the price by getting stuck with dead items that won't move at any price such as Elite 12 Orton. We do not control the fact that popular characters are being short packed in the cases. That is the real problem here. 5) If anyone has a use for a very large quantity of Elite 12 Orton at a very low price, please PM me!

It makes total sense. Basically, what everyone else is saying: supply and demand. And you can't fault "scalpers", it's a free market. If you can get money, get it. I too dream of holding a E13 Rhodes and singing his theme song, but I can wait. If you can't, then you pay the price for impatience and scarcity.
Also: Rhodes is shortpacked? *Darth Vader voice* NOOOOOOOOOO! It's only smoke and mirrors...it's only smoke and mirrors...I need to drink some fruit punch. I'm freaking out.

After seeing what happened with Cody I just broke down, and pre-ordered Basic 17 Ryder. I know I'll never see the figure in my area, and I'd rather pay a little more to be guaranteed one.

Anyway, I don't think the figure is even worth paying so much for. Yeah, its cool with the mask and the paper bag mask, but I'm not liking the head scan of this Cody Rhodes figure which is the reason why I haven't gotten it yet... Plenty of room for improvement I think... Great figure, but the head scan on its own minus the mask, not so great. I still prefer the head scan on the Legacy Cody Rhodes.. Seeing the photos of the figure with the mask on, it looks good, but unmasked and it doesn't look like Cody.... Check out the photos of the figure up close.. >>> princeomega.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/cody-rhodes-elite-13/

I paid $30 for my Cody. It's a steep price, but with the VERY limited amount of time I have to actually go out and look for figures, I'm willing to pay the extra bucks. Now, I have to sacrifice alot of figures because of this, and I only buy what I really want. But, I get it before it hits retail, and if I didn't spend the money on a figure that I will truly enjoy, I'd waste it on something else.
Just my take on it.

They're a business, they want to make money, but I find it funny they rule this board with an iron fist. Don't be shocked to get a "warning" from them due to your post and what not. They're a business, sure, but as "fans and collectors" themselves they sure are crapheads.

Wow, why would anyone pay 100 for each? I might sell mines and then pre-order another set, lol.
