So take the die cast belt away, and they should cost anymore the DF would they, as that is what they would be.. False. The exclusives that we get currently are elites that are more expensive than in-store elites. Any RSC exclusives (prior to sale prices/reductions etc if they don't sell out) will be more expensive than the retail equivalent because they are exclusives. They have a much smaller production run and thus need to sell at a higher cost per unit. This. DM was already $25 as a mass retail item. Making it an online store exclusive at a much lower production run means Mattel has to charge RSC (or whatever store that wanted them) a higher cost. So once tax and shipping is added to the mix you are taking at least $45 if not more.

I'm with you I'd pay 45-50 bucks two times a year if it's legends not rey or cena.

I was a big fan of the DM line. I have 8 out of the 10 MOC, the only ones I dont have are Austin and Rock but thats only because I thought RSC's Austin was better and I had 2 Legends Series 3 Rock figures.

I was a fan of them too. I have at least 2 of everyone. (4 of Triple H & Bret) but only 1 Bret and 1 Triple H are still MIB. Same with EG besides the Rey (passed on) I have at least 2 of everyone and 5 Piper. (1 MIB, 1 Legends shelves, 1 Basic shelves, 1 Computer table & 1 head swap with 2-Pack) But most people weren't or aren't willing to pay those prices.
