$50?! Trent and Henry weren't even that much when the first came out. I see Trent/Henry 2pack everywhere now.

Aside from his beard, literally any "modern" Orton figure could be based on any point in the past 5 years. That's why despite his popularity his figures aren't that popular. His tribal logos are insignificant to his character, so a slight color change doesn't mean squat. He's not like Cena, where you can tell how updated he is because his new shirt matches his attire. He's not like Kofi, who changes his attire style and color on a regular basis. You can tell when those two are updated. With Orton, who cares? His whole persona is based on his mannerisms, not his look. There's no point in releasing him again and again for this reason - once in awhile? Sure, there's always new fans who would want one of the main guys like Orton. But he doesn't sell that well (especially in 2-pack or Elite form) because of the aforementioned reasons.

Honestly wait till retail the PTP will most likely die down and the 2 pack will warm the shelves. I could see the $50 price tag but what kills me is they say that its because the RKO and Sheamus won't sell. Did you ever think its because you want 23.99 which is more than retail for two basic no one wants...

I don't like PTP that much anyway. Certainly not that much!

Orton and Sheamus? What a boring pair. They obviously just made too many molds of these guys and have to keep releasing them since they obviously don't sell.
Bryan and Kane would be cool...if they weren't in a recent set.
PTP...I might pick them up in stores, but I don't really like basics. Maybe I'll wait for Elite versions.

I bought them. After a long debate in my brain though. Thing was, they're in my budget for the month, I'm not buying a set with the others in it just to "save" when I can probably only get 20 each at ebay for them, meaning I'm ending up paying 55(after tax and shipping) for them anyway.
It's not about being rich, because I'm far from it, especially at the moment, but those daily trips to walmart, kmart, and TRU only to find nothing put a whoopin' to my gas tank and car mileage, not to mention time, and also, one of the main reasons is after Christmas, t hings with Mattel tend to end up in a slow crawl. Think you're going to find these at retail late Feb/early March? Good luck. Mattel does not churn out product that fast from Jan-June, yet meanwhile you'lll be like "This series shouldve hit by now" it's going to take longer. Call me spoiled because I buy online. But believe me, when something hits like the BAF Johnny figure set, I bust my a$$ to find it daily. And that's one trip to one store every day(or sometimes multiple stores on one day, which murders my gas tank.)
SO that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Now on to the wait for B28, which will be another set tthat will take forever to hit retail. Plus you have to figure out which exact store will have it when it hits to find what you want.

Please keep in mind the following facts: 1) If you buy the complete set and use the 10% off WFIGS discount, you pay $26.99 each. 2) PTP are 1 per case3) Sheamus/Orton are 3 per case of 6 2-Packs 4) We are FedEx'ing these figures from the factory so you will have them first 5) We wish the PTP were 3 per case so we could charge less for them and not lose money Shango was .5 per case but the prices on his figure didnt start at $45 - $50

They could evenly distribute the pricing because a lot of the figs would sell in that set but BP 21 is going to be nothing but shelfwarmers, other than PTP (to collectors, at least)

Wow crazy price for PTPs..
Not that I wanted to buy them I just feel bad for their big fans who might have to pay a ton to get their favorite wrestlers.
The other two sets are weak imo so overall bad series..

Come ON Mattel... PTP one per case?! I'll try my luck at retail, I guess. It's beyond ridiculous for them to be short packed like that, it's not mark Henry & Trent beretta, it's the prime time f'n players

Will Randy Have A New Headscan? Because His Current One Is The Worst Thing To Be Released By Mattel Besides Flexorce.

When I actually sit down and consider how much money I use on gas to go to all of these stores, it really hurts. Living 20 miles from the nearest WalMart and 1 hour away from my nearest TRU and Target. The only difference I have with Terra here is that I bought the whole set. The Kendo Stick that Bryan and Kane come with is worth $10 alone to me. Even if I can sell each 2Pack for $20 and $25, I'll be happy.

Just wait a month or 2 till they hit retail and get the for a Normal price not a jacked up price, look how quick we have been getting figures in retail these days is sometimes quicker than some online stores.

I understand where people are coming form with saying, wait for retail, but my retail stores are not that great. Since Basic 18 hitting WalMart, I have only ever seen Basic 20 one time and Basic 22 one time, in separate stores. Tru got E18 in but had not had an elite set in since Elite 13. Latest 2Packs I saw were Series 18, but before that I only ever saw Series 15.
My stores never have the best selection, so when I see a total of $91 for 2Packs 21 Shipped, I am going to take it, whether I will be selling some figures or not.

Forget the price, I'm surprised anyone would want them that bad to actually pay that much for some jobbers. These will be peg warmers.
