so considering there are 1000 of each of the 10 new basic figures out, there are 10,000 of them hitting the shelves, and from the looks of this board, almost everyone has atleast one, if not twenty lol..
i myself have amassed 6 of them in the last 2 weeks....(and passed on 2 more because I was with other collectors who wanted them)
meanwhile it took me over 3 years to find 6 jakks 1/500 in the wild..
however, the prospect of a much much better chance of finding a chase figure makes the thrill of the hunt of collecting mattels figures that much MORE FUN!!!
thoughts?

i don't think they're too common - now scalping, that's something that's a little too common. i'd love to find one, preferably a Kofi since he's one of the only basics i actually want - but with everyone breaking out the credit cards to snatch up every 1/1000 within a 50mile radius of their homes, it leaves me (and the rest of us) very little to actually look for. since i imagine about 75 - 90% of all 1/1000's found will go on ebay, maybe the flooding of the markert will drive the prices down - since that's the only way i'll probobly ever see one. ah well, i guess i can't hate the players, only the game.
the sour grapes tell me the belt's ugly anyways.

No, and I think that is the reason why they are numbered. If we find 2 same figures with the same number, then we'll know if they aren't honest and are more common than 1/1000

You'd get the impression that's true after hearing all the stories of people finding them, but like someone said they're all numbered.

No, i dont think so, you really have a 1/1000 chance for each fig No, you have a 1,000 out of how many were made of each figure chance for each one... But that's neither here nor there. There are 10,000 of these figures available right now, and more to come in the future. WF has 11,000 members. I know that's not ALL the wrestling fans, but... it's probably a good percentage of collectors, so I'd say given the number of them, your odds are pretty good to find one. They're a lot more common than Jakks' belts because they had 500 in each set. Series 1 of these had 6,000. |

They're popping up everywhere right now because all of the product is hitting the shelves, so they're all out there at once. In a couple of weeks, the supply at retail will be dried up, and people won't be finding them so often, if at all.

12,000.
There are 12 figures with belts. 6 Basic, 6 WM Heritage. That equals 12,000 belts.

It's 10,000. The WM Heritage Batista and Cena don't have chase versions, only their figures in the basic line do.

In a couple of weeks, the supply at retail will be dried up, and people won't be finding them so often, if at all. you are absolutely right. we've been thinking about these and looking forward to these forever but they only hit the shelves a few days ago. they will disappear. hardcore collectors like myself had a jump on most because not many people are out looking for figures on new years eve or day. i planned my new years eve around going to walmart and snatching up some figures. i only found the heritage line at midnight so i stayed up all night and went to target, tru, and k-mart the next morning so i wouldn't by chance miss out. it worked. |

Here i am laughing at the people getting the 1/1000s cos they may be worth US$60 right now on Ebay.
But wait a few weeks and that price will be US$30 or less soon.
Cos there are so many of them around.
Did anyone mention that the belt is hideous like a gold chocolate coin?
What ugly things they are.
It's just the novelty of a new toy line that's all the hype right now.

Haha, those belts are pretty ugly. Still glad to have one, though.

I love how "rare" these 1 in 1000's are. In total I found only one 1 in 500 belt figure in stores. In one day, I found three 1 in 1000's (1 Big Show and 2 Heritage Edge's). I just think they're crap. The 1 in 500's were nicely painted metal on leather replicas of REAL wrestling championships. These are cheap metal on faux leather generic belts with the belt number and wrestler's name printed on the damn thing! I have no use for the belt, it doesn't look cool, and with over 7000 of the damn things in circulation (counting basics and the Edge I saw and assuming there are more in Heritage series 1) they are worthless!

because of the name and numbering they are acutely fairly uncommon. the only reason they seem so common now is that ever "debut singles figure" comes with one. were in the first few waves of figures so the belt it being released at a rapid rate. Past wave 5 the number of new release will halt a bit and the belt will feel like it is more on the rare side.
