I like to thank you for buying those four figures. I believe my wife just bought the Christian & a BOPPV Cena from you as an Xmas gift for me.
You know as much as people complain about figures on ebay, what they save you on time & gas I think makes up for the prize. It is no different than buying at RSC or any other wrestling toys website.

Man I wish stuff like this wasn't so valuable at the time of release. That way everyone can get a fair shake in picking them up. I was finally able to get mine today, they hit Long Island this morning in mass, 5-6 cases worth, and with BOGO 50% off it came out to about $72 for the whole set.
Wish everyone wasn't out trying to make a buck or two off these figures. It really is a plague for the hobby, a shame. But I guess if you got the money, and TRU has no problem with you buying them, then more power to you. I just personally think it's a jerk move. That's just my opinion, and opinions are like a-holes, everyone's got one.

Another way to look at it is if people didn't list them on eBay some peeps won't have the chance AT ALL to get him before Xmas.
So there is that....and in some cases (not TRU exclusives) some waves never hit certain retailers.

Any one else Notice That with this brand new set, the most sought after BAF Johnny L isn't even in WWE anymore (on TV) and neither is the most sought after figure, poor christian.

Got my Christian today!!! Was so surprised to see him, he was the last and only Captain Charisma to be had! Such a nice looking figure. Perfect in person. They had 2 each of everyone else in the set.

if i went to my TRU and saw somebody had cleaned out the entire christian's from this set, i'd be pretty pissed.
yes - you have stories you're doing with them all, and if you didn't get them most likely some other scalper would have but still, give somebody else a chance to get at least one.

I found one sitting at my closest toys r us (an Hour away). I could care less for the figure, got the belt and the pieces and thats all I wanted from it. It looks like I will never see Elite 17 or Nash ever at retail. I am willing to pay $25 at most for a loose nash with the belt, but on ebay I see at least 50 listed and nobody is even touching them. so your theory on ebay giving every one a shot is true and then again not. they are not selling at $40 shipped give up..... move on to the next new new figure and sell me a damn nash at $25 or less!

those Laurinaitis legs would be a good base for an Elite Khali ...

Man, that white IC belt sure is expensive. I notice everyone mainly brings up that belt or Johnny. I personally like the whole set except Sheamus' diarrhea face.

I think everyone in the set should have been 2 per case. It makes NO SENSE to have 3 Cena, 2 Cara, 2 Sheamus and only 1 Christian.
Mattel has made it so that you can only complete ONE John Laurinaitis figure per case. That's not a very effective use of 8 figures in a BAF set.
I thought after they made everyone 2 per case in the Ricardo Set that Mattel had finally decided to do the right thing, but now they are back to their old tricks.
