E16 Ezekiel Jackson, E19 Dolph Ziggler and E23 Cesaro always seem to go for big bucks on eBay UK. Really? I have a zeke for sale...i might have to list it there You're selling Zeke? Is he done in ICWA?

I end up buying multiples sometimes of certain figures in case I decide later that I want them moc as well..... Costs me a lot but would cost a lot more trying to get them moc later I do this too I've even bought figs on eBay that had a good price and I wasn't sure if I might want later on and I've been glad for every one. I've sold 3 off after deciding I didn't want them and I ended up selling them for two or three times what I paid.

Here is my own opinion and views.
I have resisted collecting mattel since 2010 because i already have plenty of jakks and dreaded the thought of spending again to repeat a collection.
This lasted all the way till 2014 when hbk in WM14 attire was released. I finally cave in and bought my very first mattel wwe figure. At that time i told myself that i would only collect a few versions of my favourite oldschool wrestlers ie. Hbk & bret hart.
Then it spin off to even more old school figures. When DM ric flair came along, as well as elite 30 (luger, lod) ... it causes a mad rush to buy even more. Fueled by the good news fr sdcc that ramon hogan sting will be made ... there was no longer any reason for me not to support the cause of completing a mattel set and totally replacing my old jakks.
I went on a hunt thru ebay(US), ebay(international), taobao, amazon, rsc and multiple platforms just buying n buying. My most expensive figure so far was bam bam bigelow misb. Usd$57 include shipping.
The release of oldschool big names definitely spurred new interest in the toyline like my case. And with great demand, supply will dwindle, price will rise as opportunist steps in to exploit the situation.

In general I do a fairly good job of keeping up-to-date and grabbing figures before they get pricey. Which isn't usually too hard as I only collect Monday Night Wars era talent, and only buy Mattels if I feel they are better than the Jakks RA versions (or if Jakks didn't make that superstar). But I must admit I am playing catchup with some of the earlier legends/flashbacks, which I either passed on at the time and have since changed my mind, or simply put off buying for too long. Like the OP I am often shocked by how high some of the older Flashbacks/Legends go for.
Still there's a few on my wantlist, such as Hacksaw Jim Duggan, which I'm still kinda holding off on getting (even for a good price) because I'm not entirely happy with the headscan. With guys like that I'm kinda hoping we might see a new, better headscan in the Hall Of Fame series or on a new flashback version. Similar to what happened with Yokozuna.

It is crazy how much some of these figures sell for now. I can tell you guys this much right now too that the E34 Paige, RSC HBK, RSC Hulk Hogan, and the Amazon Mankind are all going to be in this category a year from now as well. If you are on the fence about them, buy them while you can.

It's to the point now where I hate to pass on anything. I'm buying things just in case I may want em later. I still need a Flashback Booker and Edge, but I'm screwed trying to find them for a reasonable price. I'm the same way. If I have the slightest interest in it, especially if its a Flashback, then I go on and get it. That way I don't regret skipping it down the road.

I think most of these figures have found happy homes by now so there are a lot less willing sellers unless you wanna pay big bucks. I still don't have Nash or Bossman or rsc SCSA because of this. I've waited for better prices since day one for me because I started collecting late but now I come to the realization that I will not have these figures in my collection ever never say never my friend. I got one of my "most wanted" E17 Mankind for $20. I just kept checking and waiting and checking and waiting and some sucker put him on there without looking at other fig prices.

I won the Nash/Diesel auction, pretty happy with the price considering they go for well over $100 each.

bigbabe12 said:Why is a moc e6 Batista going for 200??? No there isn't. Only boxed one sold recently was 49 gbp. (75 dollars) Just looked on eBay 2 of them moc going for 200 plus NO THERE ISN'T!!! They aren't "Going" anywhere. They are firmly sitting in the sellers premises, until they change their ridiculous price, to one nearer the current market price. Which....as the sold button tells you clearly, is £49. Learn how to use ebay, and count.

The attitude era belt will get another release down the line eventually. Maybe even the smoking skull belt if Mattel do another flashback Stone Cold at mass retail. Anyone paying those prices need their head examined.

All those figures are great figures and were kinda hard to find. I only saw Booker and Boss Man in the wild one time and never saw Nash. A kind Ebay person sold me one or close to retail though.
