yeah I looked and its at about $250 -$300 which is still a large amount for a retail product..I think its safe to say that is the fastest riasing worth on a ring.

Well it's the only 22x22 ring... making it the largest. It's truly the most beautiful crafted ring to date. Sorry to all you Jakks lover! It was a project that was made too quickly. Mattel had just taken over the WWE line and I think they made the ring too soon.... When Mattel took over, it took collectors some time to warm to. That being said, many sat on shelves. Now, or hey recently (2012), people have finally came around. I'm not advocating the price that people are willing to pay for it, but I have boughten 2. (1) $125 and (2) $160, both NEW on eBay. What people will pay today mostly because of the first part of this message.... plus bragging rights!! Anyone who says they wouldn't pay $300 have never seen one in person or doesn't have disposable cash like that. If you are a serious collector and have never seen the ring before, I can say that this is a collector trophy. Something like a MOC Series 1 Elite CM Punk or TRU Vince McMahon. Summer is coming up and from all the research I've done, eBay finds should be slightly cheaper. It's the slow periods for the retail business.... especially toys and video games.

I don't get the obsession with this thing. I had two. Sold one locally and traded one to RSC. And for about retail cost. The quality wasnt that great, and it was/is too big. RSC had them forever for 50-60 and they sat for quite some time. Amazon had them, which is where I got my first one.
Now that they're gone, now that they are no longer readily available, NOW you want one. Not when they were at retail, not when RSC and amazon had them for fair prices, not when big lots had them, but Now that that they are gone you do. Sellers have all the leverage.

Im glad to have this ring and do find it to be overall the best released this far because the posts finally dont bend and the removable buckle pads really put it over the edge for me.
With that said the only reason it sells for so much is because collectors have no remotely current options for a decently sized ring. This thing is over two years old and we have had no big sized ring for awhile even tho I'm sure most of us assumed there would be sequels to the ESR.
With jakks you always knew a new rsr would be out in another 6 to 8 months so it wasn't urgent but right now we know the ESR is the last scale Wwe ring for at least a very long time since retailers won't go for it. Maaaaaaybe eventually Mattel may dig out the molds and release an updated one as an online excl. But I don't see it happening anytime soon.
