My fiancé recently ordered me 3 figures from RSC for Christmas: Cody Rhodes, Brodus Clay, and Justin Gabriel. She told me about the figures so I wouldn't buy the figures in the store. Of course, I saw Justin Gabriel several times and told myself not to buy it since I would receive it in a few weeks. I get my package from RSC on Saturday with just Brodus and Cody and a letter saying that Justin Gabriel was sold out! Now I cannot find Gabriel ANYWHERE. I've tried several different KMarts, Walmarts, and Targets. And I know, I could order the figure online somewhere else or ebay, but isn't it just frustrating to find out a figure was sold out and now you can't seem find it? Sorry for the rant, just venting  Anyone else have similar experiences? |

I remember I really wanted basic 7 Sheamus but couldn't find it anywhere. I didn't want to pay out the butt for it online, so I finally found it at this hobby shop at the mall for $35. I bought it just because I was looking for it for a while and didn't want to pass it up. The next freaking day I found it at Walmart! Just my luck lol. Not quite the same situation as you, but still every bit as frustrating haha.

How could that happen? With RSC you pay for the figures as soon as you place the order. Did you get credited the cost of Gabriel? Or is it just backordered? But to answer your question no that has never happened to me.

They did credit our account, but it was odd that the figure was sold out after she had ordered it and we didn't receive an email regarding the status of the figure being unavailable, which would have been very helpful.

Perhaps RSC did send you an email and it went to junk mail?
I see Gabriel all the time, let me know if you want to pay for it plus shipping or trade.

I have never had that problem with RSC or for wrestling figures in general. But my wife collects Monster High dolls and I was going to buy her the hard to find Abbey doll. Could not find it in stores for the first 6 months it was out. decided since her birthday was close I went ahead and bought one on ebay for $50 shipped. The next night we find 2 at Toys'R'Us for $19.99 each. Could not believe that. Oh well.

I understand your pain. That's just like when I pass on a figure at the store then eventually want it and can't find it anywhere... :/

I'm having an incredibly hard time finding any E11 around my area. It seems like the one wal mart that stocks the best near me went from e6,e7,e9,e10, then straight to BO'11.

I had this happen with one of Jakks early UFC figures. I got a letter in the box that it was backordered. But I received it a week later. It was actually nice of RSC to break up the shipping and send the instock items without delay.

I personally refuse to pay 5 dollars more then retail for a figure. I saw elite 12 daniel bryan which I was looking for for a while at a mall kiosk selling for 40 bucks and let it sit there to hopefully collect dust and I'm glad I did cause I found it a few days later at target

Ugh its happened to me before where I order a figure to find it at retail the next day. Unfortunately not this time  I've been looking for Flashback Kane for like a month or so and have found everyone but him, it's so annoying! I've wasted so much money on transportation and don't want to pay outrageous Ebay prices either and it's bad enough Elites come out to about $24 here... |
