This thing is gonna be $90-$100. No thanks. I'd rather wait a year for a singles release then shell out all that money for a ring I don't want and a figure that isn't that great.

Well I don't have a ring yet, I guess this would be a great time to buy one.

I think it's a decent idea if it's $80 msrp, last time they got burned on the ESR, so Goldberg's there to prop it up. I've got a bad feeling it'll be $100 though, I hope it sells well enough to make a Smackdown set with 2000 HHH or Wrestlemania 12 w/ Warrior, or something along those lines.

Welp, I was on the fence about getting Oldberg, but now knowing that it will be a jacked up with a Ring ... I'm def passing on this.
They need to stop this crap with putting NEW figures with rings ... they did it with Dusty, now Oldberg ... just give me a damn figure MOC and stop with all the gimmicks.

It would be funny if Bill said, this is the only Goldberg you are getting. Your not even getting a zombie one.

There's no way it can be as cheap as $80, over here the scale ring by WCT originally was like £90! So one made by an actual decent toy maker is going to be more, throw in a 1st time Elite Goldberg and I'm sure you'll be talking $100. Expect to see this clogging the bottom shelf for a while

I still can't believe I can buy a plastic lawn chair for $10, which uses 4 times more plastic and way more shelf space, but a wrestling ring costs HOW much? 80 to 100 bucks? What even is this

I'm at a true loss for words. Mattel finally gets a shot to produce arguably WCWs biggest star, GOLDBERG, and he's being released packaged with play accessory? ..........
I'm dumbfounded. The first sting figure got the DM treatment and rightfully so. Hogan, got the DM treatment and three elites released almost back to back to back.
But Goldberg is an accessory? An incentive to buy a you ring? I don't in any way condone stealing or repacking but folks are right, this will be the most stolen/repacked figure in history.
If this was released at any other time, fine. But for seemingly the FIRST Bill Goldberg figure...... I'm speechless. Please for the love of God Bill or someone from Mattel comment on this.

I put the number of forum members who does this scam while feeling totally justified and selling the Goldberg figure for over 40 dollars on the Bay at 20.

I only want the ring. No use for a modern Goldberg.

Everyone says this is a bad idea only because it'll be easy to re pack. Mattel aren't gonna make a product with this in mind obviously. It's a good idea but I honestly think WCT would do a much better version. I'll buy it for sure. I think people are over reacting and I'm pretty sure stores won't be too stupid as they would with Elites as this is likely gonna be a £100 set.

Normally wouldn't like this call but fortunately as soon as I saw the pics of Goldberg and the ring, I wanted to get both anyway

People aren't mad because it'll be an easy repack. People are mad because, while it disgusts me to have to say this, there are some that will have to go the theft/retail market just to get the figure for themselves. Or they will get there hands on multiple and sell the rest on evil bay.
I'd never in my life consider doing such a thing. Meaning yes, people like me won't be getting this figure unless we drop X amount of dollars on The ring. Im also a MOC collector so this particularly irritates me.

I do both.....which does make it kinda inconvenient. Probably just gonna keep this whole set loose and down the line get another version of Goldberg to keep MOC.
