I don't care what some say, it's obvious some figs are worth more than others, making them more valued, resulting in them being rare. Top 5 figs IMO are: RSC NWO Macho Man Elite 16 diesel or Nash TRU Exclusive McMahon RSC SES Punk RSC Cactus Jack Happy to say I own them all But that doesn't make them rare, it makes them more sought after. Yes it makes it more rare to see the figure for sale, a good price ect. But it doesn't make the figure itself rare. Honestly, I still consider it rare. If it's worth more, it's more rare than a fig that is cheaper imo.

Seemed like everyone agrees cactus jack and "outsiders" Kevin Nash are the most RARE or sought after figures.

Worth is only determined by what someone will pay for it... ask 100 people from this site about what they would pay for different figures, we will get a ton of different answers. It's like the warrior figures. I love the 2k one, but I'd never pay what the guys did to get one.

Here's the thing. When a mass produced item is no longer mass produced, and as the years go by it does become more and more rare to purchase.
If the only place I can buy a said figure is eBay, that figure is rare. Why? Because I will never be able to buy said figure in a store.
Now when you say figures such as elite balor are rare because it's not out much, that's NOT rare. It just never made it to your area yet if at all.
However, a figure such as hbk elite 7 is rare because the only place to get it is eBay for $65 plus.
Right or wrong that's my view/opinion weather you agree or not, it's not going to chance my stance on it.

I love when people get mad at others because they dont know the difference between rare and hard to find. Just like people dont understand the difference between MOC and MISB/MOSC

Elite 26 warrior. Elite 32 Daniel Bryan. Elite 38 Daniel Bryan. Any basic cm punk. And any del Rio or Cena or Sheamus basic.
Those things are so hard to get.

The Elite 12 Kane has been on ebay as much as, or more than any other popular figure recently, and always selling for around £100.
Popular is the word you are looking for.

The price is always irrelevant to the discussion in my opinion. Rare, does not always equate to valuable. There are some older Jakks exclusives, that are rarely for sale, and worth less than retail.

Yeah... a lot of the time (especially on eBay) "rare" basically just means "very sought after"... if it's a great figure (like the E12 Kane) that a LOT of people want, then people are going to ask (or bid) a lot more for it. It doesn't mean the figure is rare though... there are are still plenty of them about.
