So, recently we have gotten Wolfpac Kevin Nash and Wolfpac Sting. One thing I remember is that one thing people were really hoping for after the sting was a Wolfpac Macho Man. Personally, I do not consider the Balor Club figure as a good exclusive at all. To me, it is just an elite that should have already been made. It is a very simple figure, and it only comes with a jacket. This would have been an easy elite. I think a ringside exclusive should be more than this. We have gotten elites that bring a lot more to the table then Balor Club Finn. I really hope that sometime soon we will get a wolfpac macho man with glasses, bandana, shirt, and belt. This is what a ringside exclusive should be. I really want this soon because I want to buy the nash and sting before the prices rise, but i strictly won't buy them unless we get a wolfpac macho man with them.

I'm disappointed that the RSC exclusive isn't a Flashback... first time it hasn't been one in ages.  |

Ringside Exclusives have not always been fully packed Elites with accessories and crazy deco. If you really look at the following list, these could have been regular Elites. This is said with when you think about some Elites that we've received they are not far off in terms of quality or accessories included and a few comparable examples shown to the side.
Rey Mysterio - A specific attire, could have been an Elite. (Any Elite Rey Mysterio)
Kane w/chains - A different attire. (E4 Kane)
Scott Hall - Not far off from a regular Elite, just a specific attire.
Hulk Hogan - A specific attire, could have been an Elite.
Brock Lesnar - A specific attire, could have been an Elite. (WM32 Brock Lesnar)
Shawn Michaels - A specific attire, could have been an Elite. (E48 Dolph Ziggler)
Chris Jericho - A specific attire, could have been an Elite. (E20 Jericho)
nWo Macho Man - A specific attire, could have been an Elite.
The Rock - Specific colored accessories, could have been an Elite. (BoPPV Randy Orton)
Bret Hart - A specific attire, could have been an Elite. (E20 Jericho)

Wolfpac macho is basically a Nwo macho repaint which already was a ringside exclusive.
I'd like a Syxx exclusive.

It's a pretty crappy deal to me. On one hand, there's really nothing wrong with this Balor figure. It looks nice, has good parts, the accessories look great despite being rubber, etc. But at the end of the day, it's just a casual Balor figure. Even if he NEVER wrestles again for the company outside of his demon character, there's far more cheaper options available for them to release this thing. Flashback, Network Spotlight, TNF, etc.
At the end of the day though, this is nothing new for us collectors. These odd decisions happen quite often across numerous lines, where exclusives are either not too special, or a popular character deserving of a mass release that will cost you a staggering amount down the road if you missed it. So you're put in a spot where you can risk being patient to grab this for a price closer to retail during a summer/holiday sale, or buy it immediately to avoid the unlikely, yet still possible, event that it's randomly sold out in a few months.
I'm still on the fence about it. I definitely want to own this figure, but unless I make a bulk order, I can't justify paying $32-35 shipped for it alone.

We've got Sting & Nash, I'd really like to see not only a Wolfpac Savage but also a Luger & (if possible) Konnan to complete the Pac.

RSC Finn's sort of like Shrek 2, not exactly groundbreaking, but it's gonna make them a lot of money. This way Mattel serves the people who want a plain Balor(I've seen a looot of Cody swaps) and then they get to save the demon elites for the masses.
I'm sure Macho's coming somehow before 2019, I mean, we got the TNF2, BatB 3 pack, and DM elites already this year, and I would guess by SDCC or RSF there'll probably be something Savage we haven't seen before, they like him as much as we do.

If the Ringside exclusive Bullet Club Balor was $19.99 we wouldn't be having this discussion. I bought one, yes, but the price is a little steep for a plain ole ring gear Balor.

Why not wait till the figure goes on sale like the rest of their exclusives? I mean wolfpac sting and Nash are currently 22.99 on sale, I'm sure Balor will get there eventually

Ya I am not happy with this choice. The basic of him is fine with me and with 4 different cool versions of his Demon gear in E41,E46, TRU and SS Elite it is hard to buy another Balor, at least for me.

I was glad to finally get a Balor not in paint. I don't want any of the demon figures and I had to make my own custom since it took them ages to come out with a normal Finn with the proper torso.
I only bought his first demon elite to destroy it for parts to use on a normal attire.
Buuut it shouldn't have been a RSC exclusive by any means. Way too plain to be that expensive.

Mattel's smart for making unpainted Finn an RSC exclusive, and believe me I'd love one, but I'll get one loose. The jacket looks nice but I'm not a rubber fan and the shirt is that terrible sleeved mold. The figure itself is fantastic but not $30-35 fantastic.

I have been lobbying for a while for a regular Finn elite. Was really happy to see one was getting made but mildly disappointed that it was a RSC exclusive. I'll buy it eventually but it's lower on my must buy list because of that move. Doubt the after market will leap on buying a normal Balor in droves to flip like the other RSC exclusives or Demon Finns. Excluding the Rock one.

Yeh honestly I was expecting a flashback, NWO Syxx or Wolfpac Lex Luger would have been my guess and both would've been welcomed into my collection. Well as long as Syxx didn't have a tongue-out headscan...

The Ringside Exclusive Balor is a waste of money. He will be around for years so lots of non Demon Elites will follow.
