It's worth it if you haven't yet picked up Elite 43 Samoa Joe because you prefer his yellow gear. Or if you're a Joe completionist. Otherwise, it's an easy pass until something better comes along. Yep, hate to say it but Joe is one of those guys where one figure is enough for me because so little changes from one figure to the next. E43 with the shirt and towel suits me just fine.

It's exactly like the E43, only the attire is different. it comes with the NXT title so I think I'll buy it.

Wonder if Gamestop backed out after having to sell Brocks on clearance. I was expecting to pick this up for $14 or less. I guess we'll see Yeah, I don't know why anyone thought that a $25 Brock Lesnar figure that looks exactly like a Brock that was already released 3 times would sell well.

Exclusive Samoa Joe in his worst attire with accessories we've received already! And without the t-shirt his last elite had.

I missed out on Sami Zayn with the NXT title so I will gladly take this one. Also, I'm personally of the opinion that Joe looks great in anything besides red. This looks way more interesting.
Oh, and considering there is no fanfare for this figure, it is most definitely not a Ringside exclusive. Stop freaking out.

Hope RSC gets the Walgreens exclusive Triple H also. It would save me from buying from scalpers.

Good for people who missed out i guess. New head would have made it more desirable though. So, when might the new RSE be announced? Come on Wolfpac Machooooo.

If the E43 wrist pin debacle has been fixed on this one, i might bite on it. I don't mind the attire and my son would love to have an NXT belt, so it wouldn't hurt to grab it. But only if the wrist issue has been addressed.

I imagine Gamestop have the exclusive rights for there stores, so we won't see these physically in other stores, but online is fair game
if I'm wrong correct me, but i imagine thats how it works
Just like HOF is Target store exclusive but RSC sell them online

Ringside buys them from Target.

And I didn't say they weren't target exclusives I was pointing out that online is fair game Just like Ebay is fair game. Anytime RSC sells an exclusive that isnt their own (HOF, TNF, Network Spotlight) they bought them from the retailers they were exclusive to and are reselling them.

The demographic they are targeting in doing so are international customers who don't have Targets and are used to paying ridiculously high shipping prices anyway. How do I know? Ringside has everything they get directly from Mattel available for preorder except other stores exclusives, because the word 'exclusive' means exactly that.

Am I the only one excited for this release? I've loved Joe since ROH!

That's not an RSC exclusive Basically you're "assuming" that this is how it's done... let's stick to facts shall we

If that was the case, Amazon would be all over everything. I don't have all of the answers, and it has been theorized in this thread that perhaps Gamestop backed out of carrying this figure (like Wal Mart backed out of the Mean Gene BAF series and thats why we havent got it yet) and the exclusivity of this figure is up in the air right now, but assuming RSC can buy any retailer's exclusives because online sales are somehow different than brick and mortar sales is f***ing ret*rded. That's a fact.
