Correct me if I'm wrong but last year didn't we get B26 before B25. Or something very similar?? I think I remember that as well. It was something like either they switched or they can in stock like the very same day.

]I love posts like this. Nobody is forcing you to buy her. And you could buy the whole set and use the WFIGS discount and it's retail per figure. But people like to cherry pick and she is probably the only figure in the set collectors will want to order. So should they just give her away? Every other figure in the set will be sold for under $10 during one of their future PPV sales. If you don't want to pay the price for the one figure just do what I do wait for it to hit retail. Personally the whole set is an easy pass. But they need to mark her up to make their money back on the set along with the overnight air shipping they pay Mattel to get their first shipments so much earlier than retailers. Not to mention the rest of their operation costs and payroll. Well, I know they pay more to have the figures first, but $90 for the set minus the WFIGS discount plus shipping is still way more than retail, plus you need to buy the full set. With how good distribution has been at retail the past year, I don't understand why anybody is so impatient as to pay more for any of these figures - but if avoiding the hunt and getting figs first means that much to them, well, it's their money. I just wish there was a online wrestling figure store that I felt good about buying figures from - RSC just charges way too much way too often for me to have warm feelings for them. I know they are a business and want to make money - they just aren't making my money if I can help it.

$90 isn't way more than retail. Basics are $11.99 or $12.99 before tax around here. And after WFIGS discount it's like shipping is free. At least it was whenever I ordered a set of Legends the discount was always a dollar or two more than the shipping cost. So in theory it's about $12 more than if you waited and found the set at retail. so for people who want complete sets $12 extra's not bad to have the delivered to your house a month or so before they hit retail.

I know they are a business and want to make money - they just aren't making my money if I can help it. Serious question: How would you expect a business like this to survive? I've never bought from RSC, but assuming Basics in stores are at least $11 each, that's $66 for the set without even considering sales tax. So that's like a difference of $24, and apparently the WFIGS discount almost all but negates shipping costs. Then consider that RSC is likely paying a pretty penny to get first rights to these figures and then passing that "first" status onto its buyers. I dunno, I understand the gripe with some "scalper" prices, but I get just as annoyed seeing people on the other side of the coin complain that a business is daring to make a small profit. An online figure store that comes about and charges the same as TRU, WalMart, etc., probably isn't going to last, and if it does, the bottom line won't be enough to provide its proprietor(s) with a living wage. You want the convenience of getting your figures delivered to your door (and in RSC's case, before retail stores have those figures), then you have to expect paying a small premium. You can't have it all.

There was never a case breakdown that went to stores with only three figures, was there?

BCizzle, Please remember we are Overnighting the figures from China to get them to you first! It's mind boggling that you act like we are out to screw you over when we are a small business charging just a couple of dollars more than your local Wal-Mart and overnighting the figures from the factory to boot!
For Series 38, if you buy the complete set of 6 with the WFIGS discount code, you pay $13.50 each plus shipping which is what UPS and the post office charge us. This set includes the Vickie figure which is 1 per case! We have to eat an extra Sheamus, Miz, Kofi, etc just to give you this set! Look for some of those in the Cyber Monday sale in November for $2.99 each!
If you don't need Vickie, after the WFIGS discount code the other figures alone are $12.60 or $11.70 plus ship.
Toys R Us charges $9.99. If you think $1.70 to $3.50 is a large premium for the service we are providing, then simply don't purchase from us. Wal-Mart, TRU, etc sell way more figures than we do for a reason. That reason is we are providing a specialized premium service and catering to a small group of collectors who want the convenience that we provide.
BCizzle, also if you wait for our second shipment, it is generally cheaper. For example, have you seen our current prices for Elite 26? If you buy the complete set of 6, you pay $19.50 per figure after WFIGS discount code. Almost what you'd pay at TRU after tax. For the Factory Case of 8 figures for Elite 26, you pay $18 per figure!

Also, TRU and Walmart both charge $10.99 for Basics now, so the price difference between them and RSC is even less!

Owned... Can u answer the worthwhile questions though, like when B37 will be in and if you're going to sell cases of 12 of B38?

We have distribution issues with Mattel just like any other store. Do you really want a case of B38 with all those duplicates? We usually put them up with our 2nd shipment.

Such as getting B38 before B37. -We didn't want Austin in shorts because we preferred him in trunks and so did the collectors we surveyed. -RSC is but they didn't show any new figures last year and MDT wasn't there. Not sure if they will be there this year -We were happy with Hardcore Kane and it is selling well. -Jerry is Bam Bam Bigelows illegitimate child. We are trying to convince him to get the head tattoo.
