Best of 2010 or 2011----
Are they exactly the same as their Elite series counterpart?
Why is there a price difference between them?
ie; The Elite Series figure being more/less expensive than the Best Of version? Not at retail, obviously. But online
Like i see on one site Best of Cena is cheaper than the Elite 3 Cena.
On the same site Best of HHH costs more than the Elite 2 HHH

Pricing isn't an exact science. But wasn't Best Of HHH an improvement over the elite 2. I can't remember why.
---was HHH's hair piece improved?

Also, it really just matters what exactly that site has in stock. If they have less of the Best Of series, then the Best Of figure will cost more than the normal Elite figure. |

Quite Frankly, I think the Best Of Series Figures are usually a waste of time. For the most part these series consist of figures that were pegwarmers to begin with, those pegwarmers... after finally clearing out... get a second shot at warming some more pegs. Truth be told what Mattel should do is put the figures that were short packed, or sold well. Like BO2011 Elite IMHO should have consisted of E8 Drew Mcintyre, E9 Miz, E10 Big Show, E11 CM Punk, E11 Christian, and E8 Sheamus (he was already in the set and probably a wise choice, and again it sold well)
It was bad enough having E9 Randy Ortons all over the place, then we get more of the Same figure in different packaging... wow.

I'd guess because they are a rerelease of an original figure and not the original figure.
Also with the Triple H the original head was the one wit hthe gap between the hair and the scalp making itlook like a toupe (sp?) but the Best of had the corrected HHH head without the gap

So the Best of 2010 version of HHH would b the only instance of the "Best Of" figure being more $$ than its Elite 2 counter part.
Im just asking cuz I bought a couple Best of 2010 figs. I just want the Cena and i might just sell the others. Was wondering how I should price them if I did. Like would HHH be worth more than the Orton?
While Im asking questions, For anyone that sells MOC Mattel Elites on this Forum.......How much do u pay on average for shipping? Amazon has them listed as weighing anywhere from 10.5 to 11.5 ounces. So I should just put 11 ounces in the USPS shipping calculator w/ the zipcode i'm shipping to?
I've only sold loose items, and used flat rate boxes.

I couldn't say about prices as I don't believe in/buy from the secondary market. But I would think the value of something differs greatly between people. example - Brodus Clay I won't even spend retail price for him yet there are others who would spend 3X retail for him.
But I will say for you shipping question I'd box whatever you are shipping up exactly with everything you'll be using (box/figures/packing materials) then put that on your scale to get the weight. This way you know exactly what you need to pay in shipping costs
