You get the figures early and shipped to your house. That extra money spent will just be spent on gas looking for the figures if you look at retail. That's how I look at it anyways. exactly, not to mention the frustration of actually finding the person you want, especially with this set. Its just a lot easier and makes me feel better to know I have the set already as for the people asking why order something without seeing it, i'm willing to give Mattel the benefit of the doubt that when I see pictures of these figures they will be worth the pre-order. I've ordered plenty of things from Ringside without pics and I can't really recall being disappointed by any of the products (maybe the recently released Jinder but i'm okay with that because its a first run figure) |

Hopefully Diesel will come with the Winged Eagle belt.

Mattel doesn't make RSC prices. RSC does. RSC has to charge a little extra in order to make a profit on the figures. And for more sought after figs, like Diesel, RSC has to charge higher prices. Supply and demand. Simple economics. And no, I don't enjoy it any more than you do. haha. But, it's worth it to me. ;D |

Holy crap....I want the Kevin Nash so bad. I want to pre-order it so bad but I want to see pics first. I know it'll be at least $50 in a few days, but I just want to see pics first. I'll end up having to wait and get it in stores I'm sure....

an Elite Zeke with a new torso might bode well for getting Brock a little faster. Sure, he isn't as big as he used to be, but I imagine I would be ok with them using whatever torso they use for Zeke. Especially for a Flashback Brock, which I would actually want more.
I wonder how Mattel will handle Brock's sponsors on his shorts?

Ringside - It would be so much easier if you put 'Flashback" beside the names of the guys who are Flashbacks.......=

Yeah I missed the chance to order the set like everyone else... But at the same time, I wouldn't have because I can't justify ordering anything without pics. Not to mention, the prices are insane. Glad to see Nash and Diesel in the same set though.

I really wish I knew if Nash was a Flashback. If it was, I'd go back and cancel my Diesel order and get Nash.

I think Nash will be the other flashback, Cus his TLC look is to similar to his Diesel look, plus at .5 a case it has to be a flashback, but who knows

Guess my other post didn't go through. Managed to get the second set of Pre-Orders. SO excited. Punk and 2 Kevin Nash figures. Too bad I don't give a damn about Slater, Zeke and Orton. Oh well, totally worth it. I'm confident I'd never see Punk, or either Nash figure in my area. Evident by my long and painful hunt for King Booker.
Any idea why the price went down though? Could it be they charge a premium for the first set because you'll be the first to get 'em?

Decided to just get Diesel and NWO Macho Man for Late July shipping.
Was going to get the whole set but I feel like Zeke and Slater won't be too difficult in retail and I might not want the others...
Maybe I will get Punk if it is cool.

I hope the Orton is the Flashback honestly... even though I didn't order it.

the cheaper price for backorders makes no sense. They normally raise the price. like w/ Yoko in Elite 15. I take my statement back that Ezekiel Jackson will be lame. His figure is probably going to look good. I just think Zeke's lame as a wrestler. Everyone was buying up Nexus shirts a couple months ago.....with Zeke and Slater.....Now ppl are going to want to buy up Corre shirts  |
