Chances of a WrestleMania 19 HBK Elite?
How come we haven’t gotten an early 1990s WWF era Jerry “The King” Lawler?
When Matt Riddle gets an Elite figure will he have removable flip flops?

Looks like people used and abused brickseek for finding figures at walmart. I kept saying don't mention them in store or they will disable it, and now it looks like they did. That's a very valid point and I'm with you 100%. But sometimes you get that little fire started in you when you know a store employee is BSing you and you want to let them know they are lying and maybe help you after you call them out on the BS line of "oh all we have is what's in the aisle". My favorite is to tell them another location said they had “x amount” and usually that will work to have them check. It doesn’t always work but it’s better than mentioning brickseek. Unfortunately now it’s too late anyway. Brickseek is done.

I’ve been saying the same thing. I remember being in line for the SNES mini when it was released and some guy in line kept telling everyone about brickseek and that it said they had 30 available. He was telling anyone after number 30 in line (I was 18) that they didn’t have enough and to not better standing in line. Turned out they had more than 30 and people who got in line nearly last minute got one. Collectors ruined it for themselves mentioning brickseek to employees. It’s one thing to ask if they have anymore in the back. If they say no then just go back later or early the next day.

I pre-ordered Shredder, Splinter, and The Foot Clan at GameStop in store the day they went up for pre-order. However, they aren't showing on my online account as being pre-ordered but I do have the physical receipt. Does anyone else have this issue? i'm trying not to look too much into it, and it's probably because it wasn't on the website when I originally pre-ordered.

Just wait another year when shes not featured on TV and you can buy this on Amazon for 11 bucks shipped. That's if you haven't forgotten about her. She’s on TV now? Lol

No offense to her but I wouldn’t listen to anything a Walmart manager has to say. I’ve had them tell me things were discounted for years, and they never are. I really mean no disrespect by this but it’s not like Walmart manager’s are very knowledgeable with this kind of thing. I would take what they say with a grain of salt. It’s never accurate. If she had a handheld scanner, she was telling the truth. Those things are accurate as anything. It even gives you an arrival date for the next shipment. Not really. I’ve had a Walmart employee use a scanner a few weeks ago for Elite 68 and told me they had none and it was discounted, meanwhile they were in the back. Same for some of the early Flashback series figures. You can choose to believe them if you want, but I would never put much into what a Walmart employer says. In all my years of figure collecting I’ve never encountered one that was helpful.

So I had the Dept Manager at my regular store scan a E68 Brie Bella to see if they had anymore Elites in stock. She said no and that SKU was discontinued and the system wouldn’t let her order more. I then asked her if it came up under new sku (589043017) and she said no. She then tried the new SKU from the reset and it is also coming up as discontinued in their system now. Although she said that the new one while discontinued is still listed as shipping, but nothing is scheduled for her store. She did say she didn’t think the $7 e69 was the problem or she would see it on her hand held. No offense to her but I wouldn’t listen to anything a Walmart manager has to say. I’ve had them tell me things were discounted for years, and they never are. I really mean no disrespect by this but it’s not like Walmart manager’s are very knowledgeable with this kind of thing. I would take what they say with a grain of salt. It’s never accurate.

Still no Rock figures in Michigan. I’m so curious what happened exactly.

You could just use a credit card and pay it back on Friday. Maybe earn some cash back rewards along the way. Yes I know everyone doesn’t have a credit card, but that isn’t Ringside’s fault. True. I just hate putting things on credit. Understandable. It is a good feeling to just pay for it with cash, even if it’s being paid back in a few days. Friday’s do seem like it would work best for most but I assume Ringside just puts them up as soon as they get the info from Mattel.

one of these days RSC should IDK release preorders on Fridays as that's payday for most. I'm going to wait till then You could just use a credit card and pay it back on Friday. Maybe earn some cash back rewards along the way. Yes I know everyone doesn’t have a credit card, but that isn’t Ringside’s fault.

I'm looking for King Mabel variant if anyone see one and don't want it. What do you have to trade?

I’ve had two issues with damaged boxes, but I’m not sure that either of them was the fault of RSC. The first one definitely wasn’t. The shipping box was clearly damaged at some point in transit, and one of the figure boxes was significantly damaged. They kindly replaced it for me free of charge. The second, I don’t really know what may have happened because it was a Christmas gift, and when I opened it the plastic on the top of the box was cracked (an E52 Kofi). Easily could’ve happened while in transit packed with other figures, and I still have the figure since Ringside was sold out of it when I checked the site in hopes of ordering another. But a $5 Xmas sale item isn’t a big deal. Point is, Ringside does great business and this hobby would be much more difficult to keep up with without them. I agree that collecting would be a lot more difficult if it wasn’t for Ringside. Mattel’s distribution is just too inconsistent for me to not order from Ringside. Like Elite 67 never hit stores. I know it’s on amazon but if we are talking damaged boxes, amazon is the king of damaged boxes. Elite 61 was the last set I ordered from amazon and the boxes were destroyed. Never again!

Very fitting his YouTube name is “unstable” because that’s exactly what he appears to be. The Rock is selling for $65 because he’s a SECONDARY market item! What is there not to get? Ringside isn’t forcing anyone to buy it, but it’s there for those who do. I see people on Facebook selling him for around that price, and most don’t say a thing about it. Clearly he previously worked for the competition and turned Ringside down before so why be so upset now? As great as some made that other company seem, just like the others before them, they went out of business. There is a reason Ringside has been doing this for years. Yes the competition was offering the figures slightly cheaper and adding bubble wrap, but look what happened. They are out of business! Also I’ve been ordering from Ringside for years, never pay the extra for the defender cases or bubble wrap and have never had a smashed box come. I really believe this is a myth, but if you are a MOC collector I have no idea why you wouldn’t pay the extra for the defender case or bubble wrap. It is offered and is no different than other online figure retailers.
Ringside offers figures for a slightly higher cost and you get the figure anywhere from a month to possibly 3 or 4 months early. If you prefer to pay less then sure wait for retail, but why anyone would expect Ringside to charge retail when they pay more to get it early is beyond me. It’s a proven concept that works and has worked for years. The guy in the video comes across as bitter, uneducated, and annoying. Lastly, nothing in that video “exposed” Ringside.

Troy Walmart had a Ricochet & Rey left from Elite 69. I’d imagine someone bought a set. I’m only looking for The Rock (already got the rest from Ringside) but it appears no Walmarts in Michigan are getting him, for now anyway.
