$80 for a moc e16 kevin nash. because he was only shipped in half the cases mattel sent out(split with diesel) and a month after him hitting retail i still hadnt found him and he is my favorite nwo guy so i had to have him. but this is how i learned patience as i saw him at retail a month later course then i payed $30-40 each for e17's mankind, ryder, and kelly kelly cause i never saw them at retail so after that i started pre-ordering cases of elite waves til e26. didnt have any real problems finding e27 tho. only elites i ever bought loose were koslov and finlay and i think they were around $10-20

It depends. I have not and refuse to pay retail or more prices for a figure that is loose and/or missing accessories. In all honesty I haven't paid more than retail for any figure. Granted my collection is pretty small still but it's growing and I've found some great grabs so far.

The most I paid for a figure was $30 for Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior off of Amazon. I bought E16 Nash from RSC for $25 during a Black Friday sale. I've only ordered loose figures under $20 off of RSC.

Outside exclusives or mail aways, I dont go above 30 for a figure unless it is really really rare or a special Kane.

Ah, don't feel bad. Not qualifying for Medicare and not qualifying for any aid through the Affordable Health Care Act (what a joke that mess is) does suck, but I don't take pills anyway and that seems to be the major basis of the American health care system these days, so... I do kinda worry about a catastrophy, but having social anxiety means I don't go many places, so my chances of getting injured badly enough to require medical attention are a lot lower than they could be. And as far as the Maryse figure... Well, there's way worse things in the world than having paid too much for an action figure. Does suck to get screwed out of one and I was kinda miffed about that for a while, but the one that got lost... Well, that just happens sometimes, especially when dealing internationally. Dude was really apologetic about it, so it's all good. Besides, even with paying a little more than double fair market on Maryse, my Diva collection is still worth more than I've spent, so tis no worries. Divas basic and elite are the exact same thing I think. What is your divas roster include? Yeah, they pretty much are. I think the only real difference articulation wise was with Miss Elizabeth, who had the double jointed knees. Other than that, the few Divas that have gotten elites were the same articulation as basic divas. My Diva collection includes ever Mattel Diva already officially released except for The Funkadaktyles (waiting on new attires for them as I don't have Brodus Clay and really hate the fringe on their arms), Vickie Guerrero (do want to get her new one sometimes relatively soon), the first Natalya (just too expensive and I already have the second one), the blue Eve (already have her in white), Miss Elizabeth (didn't have the Legends Macho Man until I ordered him along with the Ric Flair DM figure pre-order, so I'll try and track her down after he arrives if she's not to costly), and AJ Lee in yellow (already have her elite and in the jean shorts).

Basics MOC: $15 (one time i paid $30 for B27 Cesaro and B27 Ryback, wouldn't do it again though) Basics Loose: $15 Elites MOC: $30 (won't go higher) Elites Loose: I refuse to buy loose Elites. Why do you refuse to buy loose Elites? I like to have the boxes for all my Elites, even though i unbox them and play with them i like to keep them. ever since i started buying Elites in 2012 i've kept each box.

Nice! I wish I could find even just 1 basic diva in store. I saw Trish at Tru but she cheaper on RSC. I want to find the Bella battlepack but no luck. It just so odd that I do not see basic divas in store, they must be really rare.

I almost never see Divas in stores either. In fact, I've only ever seen Kaitlyn. Aside from her, I've bought all of them online or got them in trades.

LOL... Well, I'm pretty sure I have at least one scalper in my area who swipes all the rare figures right away. But, mostly I think it's just that Divas tend to be short packed (ie one per case) so they disappear a lot quicker.
BTW: If that Trish you saw is still there and someone hasn't swiped her Women's Championship from the box, I'd recommend picking her up. After shipping, you'd pay about the same or more on RSC and she's a quality figure for sure.

Plus I don't have to pay any tax on RSC. Yes that Trish still has her women championship. OH and I don't think there any scalper in my area as I have been to many stores and not seen one where there is a wrong head or missing items. I do see missing items from other toys though.

MOC - $120 for SDCC Undertaker. Loose - $70 for E7 Shawn Michaels. It came with four other Basic figures but I had zero interest in them.

I probably wouldn't go over $30 for loose, and that's depending on rarity.
$80 is the most I've spent on MOC and that's a little too steep for me.

OH and I don't think there any scalper in my area as I have been to many stores and not seen one where there is a wrong head or missing items. I do see missing items from other toys though. Yeah, I do the same thing. Always order at least two or three figures when buying from RSC, usually a handful or so. Well, at least I did before I got mostly caught up with my wishlist. Color yourself lucky then (or maybe my area just sucks - lol). I see figure switches (ie someone putting the wrong figure, usually a basic, in an elite box and returning it) and stolen accessories all the time. There's at least one every single time I go to my local Toys R Us (speaking of which - was surprised to see their Best Of Pay Per View elite are now $21.99) and I've seen a few at Target and Walmarts too. Always hate to see that as I imagine some parent who doesn't know any better buying that swapped figure for their kid. I also imagine that there's some lost revenue in play there too. Stores who mistakenly take in those swapped figures probably lose some money on them, which snowballs into them being leary to order more figures from Mattel, which in turn means that MSRP go up and sometimes quality goes down (like rubber shirts instead of cloth) so they can make about the same profit from shipping less figures. It's all part of the cycle.

I only buy Elites.
I only get MOC figures from Ringside and I wouldn't go over $40 for the figures I REALLY want (BOPPV, EXCLUSIVES, older series)
As for loose, I spend $10 to $30 max dépending on how much I want the figure.

The most I ever paid was for $50 for an Ultimate Warrior Legends 6 Loose figure with the belt included. I also paid that same price for the Daniel Bryan BAF Paul Heyman figure when it first came out. These are the most that I have ever paid; I try to keep the price low, but there has been plenty of times that I'll pay around $30 for an older figure that isn't readily available anymore or a new figure that is under pre-order, including the shipping cost.

Retail. Unless it Was a on-line exclusive or a figure I preordered. Then I paid whatever the original price was for the exclusive or preorder.
Don't buy loose figures.

I've spent some money on harder to acquire figures and exclusives, but I generally wont go over $40-50 MOMC unless it's in prestine condition and I don't collect loose (too risky), so I don't have to even bother with that.
I truely don't want to pay the outrageous prices that the E12 Kane go for, but I'm afraid that this will be one of those times that I'll have to just make an exception lol.
