Let me explain from the beginning. I've been collecting since Mattel got the license from jakks 09 -10. From the beginning my intention wasnt to collect every figure made only a few of the superstars I enjoyed. That way of thinking changed too fast . When my collection started to build I knew I needed to go back and get some the figures that I reluctantly frowned on like examples elites 6 jtg finally etc. When your going online ebay wants a fortune for the older series. Ringside stop selling the older series and since Mattel don't make anymore vendors raise the prices of these figures. Mattel came a long way from making there figs. The early line of figures were like beta compared to what is out today. Mattel Mastered The Wrestling Figure craft but over price the older figures us collectors need for our collections. Even ringside don't have these figs. From 1 thru 17 figures from these series cost a lot of money. From 18 thru now they go from reasonable prices online. So my question is true older things are more rarer then current update ?

I'm sure some of them are marginally more rare than others, but for the most part they were all released in similar production numbers. Obviously, all of the older series are more scarce because they are out of production.

Do you think they have been increasing the quantities of each figure made now compared to the earlier Mattels? I mean there are surely more collectors now as opposed to then. Remember seeing a huge late wave of E20 when 21 had been at retail for some time and B27 & 28 from spring through fall. (saw plenty of Ryback, Cesaro, Tensai and Sandow first figs as late as october) Plus, we're seeing battlepacks go from 6 per to 8 per case...

The older ones of wrestlers who arent going to get anymore Elites made (or only have 1 Elite) and arent likely to get another one are the figures that really spike in value and yes I think the product is easier to find now than it has been at any point in the line. I only saw Elite 9 and 11 once in my area and 14 and 15 I only saw at my Walmart. I didnt see alot of 7 or 8 as well. Alot of my stores werent getting new series in very regularly back then. My only struggle now is finding some of the revision cases for the waves.

It's true it's way more easier to find the new elites in stores then how it was with older elites |
