All I’m saying is the 2018 summerslam elites are $105 for 4 figures (not shipped) sooooo $20 more for a set of 4 new figures (shipped) some of us will never see isn’t too crazy, and let’s not forget 12 days ago they were $75 -$120 per figure. I don’t enjoy scalper prices but this time it’s valid.

No but what time and effort does one put out when they are going to the store and aisle to begin with? I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t just go to a store to buy something for someone else. I go because I’m looking for something for myself. And while I am in the aisle in front of the section I went to the store for to begin with Is there really time and effort being spent if I pick up an extra for someone else? No there’s not that is someone being greedy. Next you are going to say if you bought something for someone on sale or part of a BOGO sale you charge your them the full price. I deal with a few MOC collector that trust my judgment to purchase items for them. Not just here in the states, but overseas too. There is alot of time put into the examining of carding, figure, and care in shipping. So while you are looking the small picture (FC acquisition for a,quick flip) I'm looking at the big picture (toy collecting acquisition for a collectors collection). MOC collectors, no offense to you guys, but you are notorious for needing perfection. With store shipping, they take what they get, dings and dents in boxes, flawed paint apps. With me, they know I'll put the time and effort in. So the effort I put fourth allows me to continue collecting and helping fellow collector aquire items for their collection. All people that has done business with me, negotiated the terms they thought were fair at the time. And no PJ, if there is a sale going on, I inform the people that directly work with me and not on eBay. Your time is your greatest currency. How you spend it is worth something to someone. Be it youself, your family, your employer, someone. I know you and Nivaro are close friends, but you and him see things a bit too personal and a bit too one-dimensionally. I have and still help out many people on this board both MIB and loose collectors. Both overseas and domestically and it has always been cost paid plus shipping or sometimes I give them for free. And MIB collector’s always get Mint packages and best paint applications. And loose collectors always get the best painted ones I can find. The only time I sent a scuffed figure was the new FB Syxx figure. Because it was for an overseas member and I knew he really wanted it so I grabbed the only one I found (had a couple scuffs on his kickers) I held it until I found all the other figures he wanted. If I found a better painted one before then I would have bought that and returned the first, but I never saw another one.

Completely irrelevant but i hate people that charge "for their time" what are we craigslist escorts? Time is our most invaluable currency. That's why jobs pay you for your time... so essentially, you hate working. Dont know where you work but my job doesnt pay me for my time. My job pays me to make the company money. I can show up and give them all my time but if Im not making them money my ass is getting fired.

I saw about four sets worth up at the Middletown NY TRU. Unfortunately all Bobby Heenan figures had poorly painted hair and one had a razor through the front of the plastic face of the box. And of course that was the best painted hairline of all the Heenan figures. I picked up two Triple H figures and a Bobby Heenan for myself and an overseas friend.

Just curious what part of southern Georgia, as that’s where I’m from too. Valdosta, Georgia is closest TRU for us and they’ve had zero new figures in within the last two weeks. I found a triple h and big show at the Valdosta Tru but no Heenan or mark Henry. They only had one each I can’t believe I missed them! Glad a fellow collector found them, though!

I Found mine about two weeks ago. Surprising since Southern Georgia never gets anything.. I have a spare HHH I might be willing to trade. Just curious what part of southern Georgia, as that’s where I’m from too. Valdosta, Georgia is closest TRU for us and they’ve had zero new figures in within the last two weeks. Savannah TRU's had them about 2 weeks ago.

I didnt think i would find this set, but I finally made it to one of my local stores 45 mins away in Binghamton NY yesterday and the store was loaded. I was able to get a full set of these. The only section of the store that had any missing pegs was the aisle of high end, specialty figures/neca. I was happy to find the set and the extra 10% off was a bonus.
also grabbed the new dana brook basic

Anyone need a set of these? I found one in the Toys "R" Us near Boynton Beach Florida. I'd be happy to pick it up for somebody for a cost plus tax plus crap however you want to ship it. The carding is beat up though.
Would have to go back to get it tomorrow, because I didn't want to pick it up and not have a buyer for it.
