Hey Guys. New member here. Just wanted to introduce myself. Just started collecting about a 6 months ago and have been following this site for months. Decided that I should definitely join, as I am getting obsessed and compulsive. I want to buy everything on EBay. So pretty much I've realized that I entered the game about 6 years too late. I have noticed that the only figures I really want are the figures from the Elite Series 12-24. And it is endless the amount of figures I need from those Series. If Ebay is any indication, I would say that most collectors are very interested in the Elite Series 12-24. But I could be wrong.
I just purchased the Elite Series 20 Chris Jericho on Ebay for $45 including shipping. Any thoughts on if that is a good deal or not?
When I get paid next week, def gonna get the Elite Series 23 Undertaker. Looks like I'll probably be paying about $50. Trying to buy the Elite Series 17 Mankind, but I'm not liking the prices for those. Lowest I see is $75. But I think I'll have to be patient to find the right price on the Elite Series 16 Kevin Nash and Diesel figures. And I def have to get the Elite Series Hawk and Animal and Vader.
I'll tell you guys. I'm quickly learning how expensive this hobby can be. I honestly don't mind paying $50 for a figure, but I most definitely get apprehensive when the price goes to like $75-$125. I guess my magic number is $50.
Any specific rules I should know about, that are commonly broken by newbies? Or just anything you think a newbie should know about this site. Anything would help.
Anyways, thanks for your time guys. Look forward to chatting in the future.
AJay

Good to hear that I got a good price on the Jericho.
I'm collecting sealed.
Oh yeah, and I pretty much started collecting when I saw that Sting Defining Moment figure for the first time. Sting was always my guy. And that figure is amazing to me. Then I decided to start collecting.

I have a similar story and am new here too. I've been lurking here for a few months, I started collecting mattel WWE seriously since like last august. and I only started because I loved the toys from mattel, and just got into watching WWE because of the toys. I feel really dumb for not even knowing about these until now…I got a (matty collector release?) Kamala a few years ago off ebay just because it looked cool and really perfectly articulated for like $15, and just assumed it was a Jakks release. I was always really into action figures and felt like it was because the stuff kept developing into more adult/mature territories (spawn stuff specifically). i lost interest in that stuff, plus it wasn't sold in the target/walmart type stores and I was embarrassed to look in the toy department for a while so…yeah…though I wonder if I would have discovered this stuff before now anyways?!? I just got a lot of what I thought was a must have, though I am basing it off what the thing looks like and how it fits with some kind of aesthetic taste, but as i learn more of the characters(?) I want more of the ones that I don't notice as much, etc.
its hard t say whats a good deal considering a new unopened figure can have some kind of defect if you want to open it and is less able to get customer type service for the thing, so sometimes its better to look for loose items that are listed as being like new, etc. and things can happen to make them way more available later on…..I really loved the elite Big Boss Man, and almost could have paid 50 for a new in box one, right before the recent toys'r'us exclusive was announced. someone had one listed for 100 with make an offer and i got declined, so i happily got two (which got cancelled but was able to get but that was a thing for a while)

Welcome!
I started three years ago and also didn't register here until 6 months after, but I didn't know about this place at all. Getting caught up has been a long process but I finally am 100% complete now that I've got big Bossman. 50 shipped was my limit except when I had to break that rule for legends vader, TRU Vince McMahon, sdcc undertaker, and L6 ultimate warrior. Everything else I got for under 50 shipped.
Good luck to you
I've got that e17 mankind....I wouldn't sell for less than a benj. I had that e16 diesel but I sold for 110

Welcome...
I'm sure u will like this place. I have been here longer then most - almost all on here are pretty awesome, and every now and again we get the lead designer from Mattel on here for a random comment, which is pretty cool.

Welcome, I still remember joining this forum and not understanding why I was getting negative karma.

The most I spent on 1 figure was $54.00 for E16 Kevin Nash loose with belt.
