I hit the bid and bought 6 at tenners!!! Great figures but why can't we get other such gems so abundently? Because other such gems don't sell as poorly in the US and as such, don't have to be shunted off to UK clearance bargain stores. Just the patronising answer the rhetorical question was begging for !!

Hard enough getting one that shines.
This is wishful thinking.

In Las Vegas on holiday at the minute and just picked up all of Hall of Fame series 3 (macho, Ted and Jimmy hart) from Target also ordered an RSC exclusive Nash from Ringside to my hotel and then found the Ring Master Network Spotlight at Toys R Us Hall of Fames cost around £15.73 each Nash cost me around £23 including postage And Ring Master around £16.26 Oh I love going on holiday to America Bet your partner is like "Where here on holiday and all you wanna do is go Toy hunting" haha . Enjoy Hahha. I bought a 34 inch Rock figure in target. My mate brought a bird back to the Encore. It was pre planned, I knew about it, so I left The Rock in the hallway of the suite. She walked in, screaming "what the is that!?!?" I woke from my slumber and just said....."its the peoples champ..."

Picked up the NOD 2 pack for 27 quid from Amazon USA :)
Whilt it's another failed Ron simmons scan, that is a bargain.
I would buy 3 more to make the nation, but I fear he is a bit on the skinny side for Mark Henry and Kama!!!

MalarGurunathan is just as bad, wouldn't give me a fiver off the TRU 21-1 Lesnar he had up for £40 but wanted my 20 figs including legends Jake Roberts moc, e18 taker, e23 Savage, JR, E17 mankind, rsc edge, day of the dead Rey Mysterio, e10 JoMo and the other 12 figs for £100. From eBay. So I get about £80 all in lol. On a different planet some of these ebayers. He use to offer on every listing I did. So I barred him. Otherwise you always see that an item has had offers, even if the offer is unrealisted.

Yep, he was probably intrigued by you specifically. Now that's solved, nothing should be discussed ever again...... So its fair that someone can ask an opinion question, but I ask one in rebuttal and I get a sarcastic reply? Sir, have some couth. My question wasn't geared towards the QC issue directly, it has just been something I see on occasion and was curious. It was meant to be nothing more than a harmless question looking for a real answer. For shame, sir, for shame. Gotta get the sarcasm in early mate, or it descends into people moaning about the thread, rather than discussing the obvious issue.
LOTS of people wants to discuss this. They pay their money, they have the right.
For those that find polls, QC issues, etc a waste of time, there is a choice to both read and participate in it. The thread title as clear enough.
For now, the issue is not going away, so it will be brought up again and again.
My favourite one at the moment, whilst building my display. the feet on my Kalisto and Sin Cara are so wobbly, I can't put them on the high flying accessory. Every time I look round, they look like Sid Viscious on the top rope in WCW!!

I'm curious as to why there are often posts & polls that are interested in the way I collect & spend my money? I'm not influenced by the way others collect, and I hope no one would be influenced by my habits and make their own decisions. My philosophy is don't like it, don't buy it. I get the figures I like, if there's a QC issue I'll just exchange the figure for a better one. Yep, he was probably intrigued by you specifically. Now that's solved, nothing should be discussed ever again......
It's worth while knowing what the general consensus is, because if everyone feels the same way, they might realise that at some point in time we pulled the wool away from our eyes.
What Bill said last year was embarrassing for a billion dollar company.
I use to have very few isolated incidents, now I struggle to find a good quality figure.
The price is mute, they use to consistently get it right, and now they don't.
I'm aware that labour costs went up a lot in China, but was that an excuse to hire blind inspectors?!??

Ive got some real bargains buying stuff that is original (opened) on ebay.
Its much more common with old boxed figures like transformers.
Just need to distinguish MIB and MISB

when will elite 43 will be in stock ? do argos got new figures in or there still got old ones in? They've never got figures consistently, and you can't see what's in stock without asking for a viewing. Not worth your time and effort unless they have a sale, but the figures are usually very old. Smyths dates are always guidelines. Checking here and checking Smyths regularly really is the only way and even then the first batch often sells in minutes.

Yes, but what did they put on the slip? That is the crucial element. Ringside are not in the habit of lying on customs forms. Not everything gets picked out and charged. It's hit and miss. You have literally seen 1 page ago them putting 30 dollars on a customs form for an item that didnt cost 30 dollars. Yep, our government just throw away money.

NO....Ringside put a lower price on the slip, like 17.99 dollars (14quid) ......hence it was picked up as under 18 quid after postage.
If they put 30 bucks on it, you are going to get a charge
Also, you have to remember that the Pound dollar rate is absolute turd and items around this price are RIGHT on the cusp and can slip either side on a daily basis.
I got the barricade set from ringside which cost a lot more than $18 and had no customs charge. I also ordered a complete Elite set for over $100 and got that with no customs charge. Yet i've had single RSE and been stung. Hit and miss in my personal experience, although it shouldn't be. Yes, but what did they put on the slip? That is the crucial element. Last week I got stung. Usual customs fee on a shipment of stuff i get from a guy costs me 38 customs charge, because he always puts the units at 2 cny per unit. (Which is about 20 pence) Customs rang me, even though the slip was filled out, and he asked me to email proof of value!!! New bill....138 quid. ALWAYS assume you will pay if its 18 quid total cost. Otherwise....you got VERY lucky. Or ask how about we all message Jacks Specific and tell him how the difference between 18 bucks and 20 adds 15 more bucks in charges?!
