So here is the story. I used to purchase WWE figures up until 2011. I remember that at the time, Elite figures cost ever so slightly over £10. Recently I decided to consider purchasing a wrestling figure for my little brothers. However now that I've seen what they cost nowadays, my jaw dropped. £22 per figure?! What the hell is going on?! I understand that the toy industry is a lot less profitable then it used to be, but still...damn. Not only that, but they seem to be scarce online, Ultimate Warrior figures at least. I just can't believe what shops are charging. Whatever state the toys industry is in is irrelevant. £22 minimum for a single figure is too damn much.

They used to be £12.99... In 2012 they went to £15.49... I think the Fandango series was where they went up to £17.99... And then the last series or 2 went to £19.99. They're only £22 in rip-off places. Decent places they're still £19.99 or less, although that's still a crazy increase from 2010.

Wow, I had no idea it was that much. That's crazy!

Hey fellow Warrior! lol! I know what you mean, near me, Elites are £19.99 Basics still £9.99. As for Warrior figs, you have to be cautious round these parts, but apparently, a Walmart has a few E26 Warriors, yeah, the one that was shipped in single figure cases, and a few Warrior/Cena BPs, I think it's the Walmart on the corner of East 52nd & 12th street, you know the one, in South West mid Chestertonville

Warrior figures aren't scarce at all. Yes they are in the UK. On the UK Ebay, the only Warrior figures to be found MOC for under £40 are the two pack with Cena, and the Elite 26 figure. Both of which are at ridiculous prices for an action figure.

I'm sorry, but I don't see any reason to be grateful for the extortionate increase in price over the past 4 years.

it is ridiculous. I don't know about other toy lines' prices, but the prices of figures is getting insane.
I remember I was picking up a Target exclusive Red Hulk DCUC figure back in about 2010 and the price was $14.99. I remember being astonished by the deliberate extortion. Lol

I feel you man. In my first stint collecting (early millennium, TTL days), they were £6.99, and Woolworths often had a 3 for 2 deal on. The figures may be better now but they're certainly not THAT much better

FFS please don't make this into another warrior availability argument. Sh*t is getting really old. That's what the thread is about
