Try eBay. Mattel hasn't made it in two years now so they won't be able to help you.

Still trying to get used to this new board and it won't let me edit my posts via my phone. Bit if it is hollow may you could find a screw or wooded dowl(?) that is about the same size as the inside. And then just slide it into to broken post as a support and glue the post back together.

I don't know about replacements, but I usually put spring ring posts in mine even though they don't exactly fit because they're easier to take out and put away.
Isn't it funny how the "best ring ever" is actually sort of flimsy? I know I've lost a few mat clips and pegs, also two of the aprons came loose from the stitching on the elastic from regular use. I hope they just mimic the LJN ring in the next one.

I was surprised to find out the posts weren't metal like the Jakks ring.

First explain how you broke it and take a picture to show the damage

Was cleaning my table that its displayed on and put it on my floor. Daughter came in and tried to step over it and got her foot stuck on the ropes and there ya have it! Not to happy at the moment but it happens! Already rigged it up alittle with a wooden stick and duct tape! It looks rough but just waiting till I can find one or fix it better.

Time to start looking into plastic epoxy's man. unless you make a replacement part (or have one made), you're gonna have to repair it with epoxy, nothing else will hold the rope tension. A new ring is gonna run you $300-$600 today, and I've never seen just the posts or 1 post floating around.

THey are not perfect but better than nothing. I havent been able to do the same for the ESR since I cant get my posts to pop off. But if you poped your off i would suggest getting a wooden dowel. |

Didn't realize the elite rings went for so much. |
