Today I ordered ground just to keep it under $150. When I get paid next week I'll upgrade the Shipping lol

I pre-ordered Batista and Cesaro. I'm not very interested in the Flashbacks which is extremely rare.

My wallet is burning! Great to see the pre-orders up finally. Damn really wish I didn't just buy new sneakers an hour before the pre-orders went up, just my luck.

Just JYD and X-Pac. I kinda want Rusev, but I'll try to hold out for the elite. It's not as close as I thought, but at first glance, I got a separated at birth vibe from Batista and fuzz head Joe.

Cesaro needs the pads, the painted pads looks bad. Highly upset with that move. They shouldn't have done with an elite.

I'm surprised pre-orders aren't usually priced like this or higher. For one, we're usually getting these things MONTHS before the masses. I mean, the average person walking into a WalMart MIGHT see Elite 30 for the first time, while a lot of us are over here receiving figures from Elite 32. That luxury should carry a premium of more than a couple of bucks over retail. Moreover, I think the higher pre-order prices would do more to deter people from buying up these pre-orders with the intention of flipping them right away on dummy eBay buyers.

Only got Rusev & Reigns. I was very tempted to buy so much more but (regretfully) I have to be patient. I'll get JYD, Pac, Triple H/Bryan, & NAO down the road.

Please keep in mind that we are OVERNIGHTING these figures from the factory to get them to you first! If you use the 10% WFIGS discount code and purchase the complete set, you pay only $22.50 per figure. My local Target charges $18.99 plus tax for Elites. So there is around a $2.50/$3 difference and you get them overnighted from the factory delivered to your door!

Waiting to get paid Friday before I preorder X Pac, Outlaws, and Junkyard Dog. I think I'm gonna grab Steamboat, Lawler, and Mankind too depending on how my check comes out.

Total for the set is $146.94 to have it shipped to me. That's $24.49 a figure and I don't want JYD and I only want Cesaro for the trophy. Figures at Target are $18.99 and roughly $20.20 with sales tax. So I'm essentially spending an extra $4.29 per figure, which isn't bad on an individual basis but over the set it's an extra $25.74, which is more than a whole other Elite figure. Factor in the fact I actually don't want a figure from the set, and I'm really over paying close to $46.
However, if the set was say $130 out of the gate, that's $13 off and $12 for shipping, and roughly $129 shipped. So I'm looking more at $21.50 per figure. Over paying by $7.80 total is a lot easier to justify than over paying by $25.74.
To be clear, this isn't any kind of attack on Ringside or their prices. I love their customer service, I understand they pay to get them early (more often than not anyway), and they are a business trying to make money. This is the thought process I went through to decide I didn't want the whole set though. Plus, I just placed a $100 order like 3 days ago for LOD, the Usos, and the new Steamboat. So we're talking about $250 worth of figures in a matter of 5 days that won't actually ship to me yet. So I have to look at spreading out purchases until these hit retail or Ringside gets them in stock, wherein they usually accompany lower prices.

Plus you have the figures 2 to sometimes 3 months before anyone else.
