I'm debating buying a replica belt. I've wanted one ever since I was a child, and now that I have a job...if I save my paychecks and balance my finances I should have enough left over money in a couple of weeks to afford one. I've thought of buying one from a number of places...but I wanted to get it from the right place. I also wanted to make sure I get the right kind of belt.
I've seen people complain about WWE.com for either slow shipping or poor packaging. Ringside seems to have decent deals as well, and they carry the belt I want (The Rounded Attitude WWF TItle).
I want whichever belt is closest to the actual thing but I don't want to spend more than $400. I can't justify spending that much. Does anyone have any hi-res photo comparisons of the different types of belts? Obviously I'm a bit of a noob to this...so any sort of advice is appreciated.

It's worth it to use WWE's sale promo codes to get a significant discount. I once bought a replica from WWEShop with a 30% off code, which saved me over $100.

The Ultra Deluxe is closest to the real thing (besides the handmade ones which are thousands of dollars).

Do not get the Ultra Deluxe unless you want thicker plates which applies for the WHC and various other titles except for the new WWE Championship since the new WWE title already have the same plate thickness on both the adult replica and the ultra deluxe. They are all basically the same except for the real leather strap which isn't really up to standard compared to a professionally tooled leather strap. You are better of getting the normal adult replica. They come with a faux leather strap. Then if you want, you can always have it releathered. Private message me if you have any questions with regards to replicas. I'm a replica belt mark, so yeah, I know my stuff ;-)

Also, keep in mind that all these replicas are the same. As in they are all from the same manufacturer which is Figures Inc / Wrestling Superstore. It just depends on which website you decide to get them from since some places you can get it cheaper and also have different shipping prices. Its best to look around first. The cheapest I've found so far to buy these replicas is at WWE Shop. But their customer service is somewhat slow and their packaging method isn't really up to standard, something to keep in mind for shipping fragile items like a replica belt from them. Ringside collectibles offer great prices too for their replicas. And I have confidence in the way they pack their packages, but I've yet to order a replica belt from them. I haven't tried highspots.com, but I've heard good reviews from them. And lastly, you can't go wrong purchasing direct from the manufacturer which is Wrestling Superstore. Packaging is just superb and their service is pretty good too. But they do charge more for shipping I believe.

I really want the new WWE Championship but I can't find a "can't pass up" deal. Man, I long for the days when I got my ECW adult replicas from spam for $150 each. Now, you can't even find an adult replica for under $300. I really don't get why they are so expensive. It's just stamped metal on fake leather. The plates are not hand crafted like a real belt. These replicas are made like the way license plates are made.

These replicas are made like the way license plates are made. Agreed. They are very overpriced now. Right now, the best they have are the cast replicas. The best cast replica so far is the white WWE IC title and the new WWE Championship. The cast Big Eagle isn't bad too. I'm waiting for them to release a cast WHC, which they say will be released in the summer...

Yes... Do not buy from A&J belts! Avoid them at all cost!

Just order it off WWESHOP since they still have the Mother's Day 20% off discount code! I would have ordered either the Tag belt or the new IC if I had the money

I'm sure they'll have tons of them soon! They always have new discount codes so you don't need to worry.

You may want to wait and see it they're going to release a casted WHC. They just came out with a casted Attitude Big Eagle, and I think the other replicas are in the works to get casts, too.

Well the one I really want is the Big Eagle. The other one I want is the Winged Eagle. So I'll probably end up getting the Big Eagle and later on hope they make a casted Winged Eagle.

A casted WHC and Winged Eagle is due anytime this year... Most likely as early as this summer...

Ebay is the best imo. as long as its in mint condition theres no difference from buying it on wwe.com or whatever, and you'll save yourself money.

Keep in mind that the Big Eagle belt has the WWE logo. It's I guess a small detail, but enough for me not to want one, which is why I got the Winged Eagle.
