The way I see it is if you haven't been in this WWE Mattel game since 2010, and you want to get figures you missed out on, you should have to pay the price. That's what happens in every other line. You get in late and if it's worth it to you, then go back and pick up older figures at a premium
Do I want the original Diesel and Nash? Yes. Am I going to pay the price for them? No. I settled for RSC Nash and will get the upcoming Diesel (I don't consider them re-releases). Only ones I call re-releases are SDCC Taker, new Warrior, Taker, HBK and Bossman
I know a lot on here want to act like their collections value doesn't mean anything, but it's nice to know you have a gem mixed in with all the other Elites that you'd be lucky to get $10 back out of. And I don't know what the original MOC versions of those last 4 are worth now, but loose, that's 4 gems gone
There are very few figures that if you look around and are patient enough, that you can't get for $25-$30 (loose). That's a $5-$10 penalty for missing them at retail. Not bad really
Keep up the repaints, stop with the re-releases

@heroesandmartyrs my reason for hating rereleases is simple. As you know, I collect Warrior figs, the Legends 6 Warrior cost me around treble retail price, as I was collecting when it was released. Not a big deal, I love the figure. I'm not even bothered too much that it's rereleased as such, my problem is, with Warrior and it does apply to many others too, is that he had so many cool attires, so many different looks that to bring out the same version is, to me a waste, there are so many Warriors to make this one has taken a chance of me getting one of those other attires, so I have to wait longer, selfish? Yes but hey it's my collection and I want to see as many different Warriors in it as possible. And I'm sure that goes for others too, like Bossman, most wanted a corporate Bossman, they'll have to wait, Jericho, most wanted a different version, Shawn Michaels the same. So there's my reasoning, and a little ocd too, maybe lol Well, this Warrior is different than the L6 so it is another new Warrior for your collection. His wrist bands are painted in the reverse sequence than his L6 figure. Also, L6's boots are cast in orange and painted green and E44b's are cast in green and painted orange, chest and tight decos are a little different too. Also E23 Taker has 7 silver dots on his boots and E44b has 6. I'm actually glad they revised HBK, still no kneepads, but the heart deco looks bolder and they added more of them. One redo I'd like to see is DM Razor, in dark purple this time, doesn't even need the belt.

So many of you complaining about the value of your figures going down are the same that bitch when someone asks how much something is worth or the rarity of it and tell them its not about value but the fun of it.
This isnt exactly a collectors line, so expect rereleases.
you're making the decision to pay $80 for diesel, no one else.
"Dont have it, too bad" is such a crapty mentality.
If it gets rereleased, oh well.. it happens in a lot of line and collecting other things as well.
But, if you paid 2k for one of those warriors and it was rerelease...thats reason to get pissed.

I've been at this since day one, and i really ever totally missed out on two retail figures. Of those two one has got the re-release treatment of sorts. But generally those releases do not affect me as I've already got most of the collection from 2010- now. It doesn't bother me that newer collectors get a bit of a reprieve on older stuff. Plus not everything can be re-released anyway. There's always gonna be some figures that newer collectors will have no choice but to fork over some dough for.

I've been hoping for them to re-release E12 Kane. Only figure I don't have. Started at around E18. I'm afraid is dropping $80 and then it being re-released would kill me haha.

Yea you're right all the sellers out there just sell them at reasonable prices and don't set high reserves...are you even for real? Also I don't recall Mattel saying the only release a certain number of figures per year....so other attires and wrestlers can still come out and do. You honestly can't be this naive can you? Oh right I see, so you want people who own sought after figures to sell them below market value. Great one. Never start a business will you. I am not sure how old you are or if you even were taught this is high school...who knows. There is no such thing as market value aside from what people decide it's worth. Also whatever you are hanging on to with a death grip is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I refuse to pay what you call your market value and now many others won't have to! Also I wouldn't open up a business selling figures because I have a career...which I am guessing you might not?

So there's my reasoning, and a little ocd too, maybe lol I think by treble you mean triple. Could be wrong. And that's stupid you would pay that much when that figure warmed pretty hard and was at a lot of big lots back in the day. I can see now why you are butt hurt

Ive always been good with re releases. Im pulling the trigger on e16 Nash and if it gets re released so be it, I want the figure. Buy what you want unless you are looking to flip it for a profit.

I can see now why you are butt hurt Treble means consisting of three parts or three times as many or as much, and @speaktomewarriors is English...so no Big Lots and shitty distribution compared to us here in the Colonies.

Oh I'm glad it was on shelves years ago, before I started collecting, thanks for that, I'll hop in my time machine and grab 2, while I'm there I'll advise your mum to feign a headache

I'm glad most here don't collect Transformers because y'all would be extremely pissed or sucidial due to their rereleases of rare figures. It happens in every toy line and will continue to do so. If Jakks still had the line, they would done the same. Of course half assed but still did rereleases of popular figures.
