@ballparkb0b Sure, that was exclusive to BJ's Wholesale Club in October '99. It once retailed for $9.99. There was another 3-Pack of Deadly Games Series re-releases featuring HHH/Edge/Road Dogg Jesse James. All of the figures are identical to the singles releases, with one exception - the 3-Packs don't include weapons. Ahh, interesting. I've never heard of BJ's Wholesale Club. Pretty sure we don't have those here in Arizona. Thanks! It's an east coast thing. At the time these things were coming out, they were probably relegated primarily to the northeast. If you've got a Costco or a Sam's Club out that way, it's basically the same idea (less the general Wal-Mart creepiness of Sam's Club). The shipping will cost more than the figs themselves haha  Shipping costs always get me. I've seen figures listed at totally fair prices, even steals, that just get killed by the shipping costs. |

Does anyone else make something of a habit of low-balling eBay listers who drastically overvalue the market price of their items?
Just me?
It's possible I'm a bad person.

I've been trolling some guy who has bca gigs listed for THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, on eBay. I offered him $20 for the '96 survivor series 4 pack and he has it listed for $6,500. It's hilarious |

It's hilarious I just had the guy who has his Championship Title Series pack that's been sitting for forever at $75 come back at my $20 offer talking me down hard, saying "this is my original I purchased when it was released" and insisting upon its listed value because "two of the four in this pack are dead" (after which, he felt it necessary to tell me which two as if I was just browsing casual).  Amateurs are adorable. |

I had to get it because of that old commercial where stone cold puts that figure in the ring with Vince, "Hows it going, Vince. You little punk!" The other 2 I just wanted for completist reasons. The guy said they are unopened but he thinks because of the wear and tear they qualify as used. Ill have to see what is up when I get them. He did combined shipping at $10.99 which is ok I guess. $2.50 per additional. |

See also: "experts" who, to this day, try and make (more than) a buck unloading "rare" or "vintage" copies of X-Men #1 (Vol.2) or...god, love them...The Death/Return of Superman. There's a Championship Title Series set up there completely torn to shreds and yellowed to the point that you'd think someone had been using it as a smoking room filter. Guy wants $60. I went lowball...he came back at $59. Enjoy your "vintage" figures, pal. |

I went lowball...he came back at $59. Enjoy your "vintage" figures, pal. I told you when that title series was up for like $30. Once and a while you'll see it. The Survivor Series set is IMPOSSIBLE to find at a good price. The 3 I see now are $4,999 (seriously), $179, and I'm high bidder at $26. But he was trying to sell it for $60 and no one bit so he went to auction. It's a bit beat up so I'm not going above $26 |

I might be wrong on this but Im pretty sure that was the first Bret Hart without sunglasses sculpted on Yep. It was a repaint that could only be found in that set and the Special Edition Raw Is War 4-Pack. |
