If you're talking purely the crotch with ball hips, why not just use the Sid one? Otherwise other crotches with the same skintone amd ball hips are Bobby Roode, Damien Sandow... I'm assuming you're saying that the ball hips and barbell are needing to be in the same skintone, and not talking about the legs/torso? If so, it's barely noticeable when you swap different hips on there. I do have an extra Sandow, thanks. I’m using a Summerslam Sid with red ball joints. As to why, I have legit OCD, so it bugs me to death if something COULD be correct and it isn’t. It’s aggravating most of the time, but working in a creative field, it’s also a blessing in disguise sometimes. I’m doing a Royal Rumble ‘92 version as detailed as I can get, FWIW. Ahh gotcha

Quick question, what’s an affordable figure that has a ball-joint crotch in the HHH skintone that I can use for UE Sid? I’m saving the UE HHH trunks to fix up with a Flair torso, so I hate to use those. Amazon takeover Triple H. Easy peasy.

Something weird is going on at Mattel I feel. I don't know if they're trying to put too much out at once or something but I feel like the quality is dipping. Ultimates felt SPECIAL. They were super high quality and they all felt worth it. I remember when I saw Ultimate Undertaker and I was like holy cow that may be one of the best 1998 Undertaker's I have ever seen. Now it's just like...oh alright, cool. It has a bit more deco? I'm not impressed anymore. Same with the Elite line. It just feels like it's coasting? Like maybe they're overworked or something? Slow down! You say that, but it really depends on the talent. Amazon taker is a lot better than takers 1st ultimate. Remember takers 1st ultimate has a special Michael Jackson head scan? New rock is better than ultimate 7 Rock. Brocks 2nd ultimate is better than his first. Target bret is worse than Brets 1st ultimate, however Brets GH ultimate is better than both. Randy Orton is a dud due to the lack of deco on tights, but that's macho man's fault 😂 Of course most of this is opinion but I think majority shares the same view.

This is actually the only version of Terry I was willing to purchase to complete my tag team with Mick. I have the coliseum version, but only purchased it for Hogan lol

I feel collectively, we would like to get the best deal we can. Nobody is forcing anyone to shop anywhere. Afaik, this is the only wrestling figure forum that I'm aware of. As someone who works in a competitive pharmacy, I tell people all the time "oh this or that is cheaper if you go here or there" Guess who wins at the end of the day? The customer/consumer. No one said stop shopping from rsc because they are more expensive. People are free to do as they wish, but, guess what I get messages all the time, "where this place you speak of?" "Or where that deal from"... Well.. Ringside was/is great and they have exclusives so they still get my money. Competition is great for all of us. Im not talking about a pharmacy, it would be more like going into a local comic book shop and walking around picking up items going “this is cheaper at my other comic store.” They would say cool, go there. But I don’t think they’d appreciate doing it around a bunch of customers. There’s Facebook groups and instagram pages for other places. This is RS forum and I try and respect that at least. Yeah if I worked in a retail pharmacy chain. But I don't it's a locally owned pharmacy, like a comic shop compared to Walmart pharmacy.

How much is GH warrior new on ringside? $31.99 $2.71 more than the one you posted the screenshot of. They're also selling GH Undertaker for $18.99 Elite 104 Drew for $19.99 Top Picks 3 Roman for $20.99 DDP is sold out, but I remember the last time seeing it, it was less than retail ($19.99) If you bought all 4 of those figures in stock you get free shipping too. Total cost from the ebay you pictured- $89.25 Total cost from RSC- $91.96 and that same page listed costs is way higher, but they are running a "sale"...no different than what RSC does Top Picks 3 Roman will be $10 on Black Friday this year Since when is shipping free at ringside? Warrior isn't 31.99 shipped from them..

The other place has been doing it for 21 years. Only been noticed last couple years to the masses. This site? LOL. LMAO even… Those are 5.99 and 7.99 on RS. So it’s jacked to up charge for demand, but not to discount garbage and pass it off as full price? Look, you made a statement and I provided a response. Nobody ever said anything about old stock without reduced prices. Nobody is talking about that itt. Since you want to move goalposts, here's their ebay page. How much is GH warrior new on ringside?

It’s useless. People never learn. Why don’t you open your own Ringside Collectibles if you’re such great business people. See if you can last almost 30 years giving stuff away and not understanding supply and demand…. The other place has been doing it for 21 years. Only been noticed last couple years to the masses.

We need ultimate punk from ss2012 if he comes back STAT He'll be signed, have a 3 month program, and leave within 5 months by either getting fired or quitting. No chance for a mattel figure. They move too slow.

Missing none of those.
I have Nash, LOD, and only Shawn Michaels of the Rockers.
Don't care for the rest.

I'm in agreement, yeah a stage is nice, but most of us just want the figures.
A crowd fund box set could potentially include accessories normal ultimates couldn't due to budgeting.

Did it ever occur to anyone that the price possibly due to him being short packed in the series? Doesn't ringside typically charge more for the short packed of the set?
I don't know the case breakdown so could be wrong.

MSRP is the exact same for every figure produced from mattel. Rare or not rare. Ringside is not paying mattel 22.99 per figure they receive, they get a bulk discount. Ringside is just cashing in on their "overnight shipping" surcharge that mostly nobody cares for. Then don’t buy it from them. You guys get so worked up about nothing. It’s business. It’s capitalism. Go be disgusted about something that matters. More specifically RS is a niche hobby store. That’s how they make money is knowing the market on figures. First time in the line more expensive than others. Figure that was sought after gets rereleased, more expensive. Best Buy could sell cds cheaper than other stores because they made money on appliances. RS isn’t selling fridges… I did, from a smaller company on the west coast. They deleted those posts. Edit: and to be fair, I wasn't complaining about the prices. I was sharing facts.
