I'd love to see what the full set of Elite Series 13 and/or 14 were going for on Ringside. Since I'm pretty sure one of those two were the Elite series up for Christmas delivery. Bet it wasn't $180-200. It was Elite 13 which wasn't anywhere near as anticipated as this set. Come on you know Elite 13 wasn't anywhere near as popular as Elite 19. Elite 13 was a pretty weak set where Elite 19 has the first ever Flashback HBK, the first Brock Lesnar we have had since the Jakks days(yeah there is the basic but most prefer Elite), an awesome Dolph Ziggler, the first Elite Resurrected Kane, Daniel Bryan with Yes Yes Yes T-Shirt and new scan & the highly anticipated Miss Elizabeth. I think most people would say this is the best Elite set of all time and if it wasn't a lot of people wouldn't be so upset with the price. It's also gonna be in stock before Christmas. We all know after Christmas stores usually don't stock until early March if we are lucky. I didn't get Elite 13 until June. Personally I'm not willing to wait that long for a set this good so I went ahead and ordered it. Obviously if it wasn't for my student refund I wouldn't of been able to drop the money on the set but I can't fault Ringside for charging what they are charging. It also doesn't help that this board had a thread everyday about pre orders. Anyone who didn't think the set would be the price it is really shocks me. Figures are always more expensive before the holidays and Elite 19 being as popular as it is of course Ringside is gonna charge what they are charging. They are selling aren't they? While I'm sure Ringside would like to have you buy Elite 19 if you don't someone else will.

Also for the people complaining that it's $200 while it isn't much cheaper if you order them all separately by ordering Daniel Bryan & Kane as a package deal it's actually 3 dollars cheaper. I'm not sure why or if Ringside caught this but it is.

I'm not sure why or if Ringside caught this but it is. Yeah, that's pretty funny. If you add the four figures and then the Hell No set, and use the UPS Ground shipping and Hell20, it's only $190.45 (at least shipping to me). Which is still less than $32 a figure. If you just add the entire set to your cart it's $192.49. If you don't want the entire set, I can see the frustration. However, if you're getting the whole set, I don't think the prices are bad at all. Considering you're paying for the convenience of getting them early and then not having to drive anywhere to find them. Maybe that's just me.

That's why I'm going to wait for the Back-Order and hope its reasonably priced. These aren't a gift, like they will be for some. These are just figures I want. Not need by Christmas. I'll gladly receive them in January, as long as the price is fair.

I also understand the business they are running. I also understand, like you said... if I don't buy it, someone else will. Which is all that does/should matter to RSC. I'm not saying I won't order from them anymore, as I do still love the service they provide for the most part. It's that if these price inflations continue, I won't be able to do business with Ringside anymore. $200 for 6 figures isn't a deal, it's all business and that high to make as much profit as possible. Which again, makes sense from the business standpoint.
My statement is that I started ordering from Ringside because it was a fair deal. Now that these Mattels have popped around, the inflation prices every few months is literally insane.

Now that these Mattels have popped around, the inflation prices every few months is literally insane. I know what you mean ever since Mattel started making figures collecting has become a lot more expensive. Unlike in the past I can't get every figure I want just because it's a cool figure I have to stick to the ones I really want. If it wasn't for my Student Refund I'd probably be upset too. Not about the prices Ringside is charging just that I know these will be a bitch to find in stores, I will waste a lot of gas and WWEShop & Ebay prices for these figures will be ridiculous. Hopefully the price lowers a little for the back orders but I wouldn't expect it to lower too much. I can't see it going under $160-$170. Hopefully everyone that wants Elite 19 can get it. This set is coming out at both a perfect and terrible time. Perfect because what a set it is to have for the holidays but terrible because stores won't get it in most likely until months later and most who want the set might get stock paying Ebay or WWEShop prices which are even more than Ringside prices.

They should be able to add it to your existing order and send you an invoice for the difference with the extra figure.

Pre-ordered Hawkins/Brodus. $40 wasn't a bad deal to me as I'd rather have them sooner than later. If they end up all over the place before Christmas, then I'll feel stupid. Being 26, I can't go out hunting for figures all the time like I used to. I didn't buy Otunga/Hennig months ago and this week I stumbled upon them in retail. The only problem is that things like that don't always happen so even though prices may be high, you pay to be assured that you're going to get the figures you want from RSC.
