I just scored the RSC Edge MOC for $40. I think that was a steal as I've seen auctions for the same figure go for $90+. Why is this figure going for so much?

Ringside exclusives are only sold for a limited time while quantities last so they are hard to find now that they've been sold out.
Generally the sellers have the buyers by the balls on these

Bunch of factors
Edge hasn't had an elite in a while
Unique headsculpt
Unique Rated R belt
Ringside Exclusives are low quantity

That and he sold out super quick. Not sure if there were less produced, but he was only available for a couple months, Id say 4 tops. I got one, but was on the fence at first. Ive got several others at full or almost full price and they still sit there. Rock has been on there forever. HBK and Hogan close behind. They will raise the price to $30-50 when the quantities get low. Wouldve liked to grab another Scott Hall. Hopefully we get a red/black version...

He was released in the elite 30-31 style packaging which were the only ones with the taller blue boxes and Network logo. e25-29 had the tall blue box and scratch logo. Edge is the only one In that taller box with network logo I think. They did go back to the e32-38 box for Nash and Sting after doing Jericho in the e39-45 style. Idk |

Edge went fast because there weren't any Cheap Elite Edge figures to buy. His Elite 13 one and older ones we're going for a decent chunk of change on the aftermarket and this figure came with the rated R belt as well. RSC HBK probably could of easily been reordered several times due to not having accessories like belts and stuff I'm sure.

$40?  Seiously? Where the hell did you find a deal like that? I've been trying to track that thing down for a reasonable price forever. To answer your question, Edge is one of those guys who only gets a figure once in a blue moon no matter how well he sells. The last one he had in a non-exclusive line was elite 13 I think. Edge had some of the coolest attires so it sucks we don't get more of him. |

I've never seen that Edge or Honky Tonk Man at such a low price before. I guess you're just luckier than I am. |
