I’ve wasted hours upon hours scouring the internet trying to score a Goldberg. I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on Goldberg and that ring on Amazon at its current price for $65, but just cannot do it. My girlfriend would kill me if she sees me spending $65 on toys on her amazon account when we have our first baby due in less than a month. I was in a similar boat on Black Friday when the ring and Goldberg were $60. But ultimately the next question is, what will I do with this ring with low ropes and all it’s accessories?
Could I sell the ring effortlessly for $20? I don’t really want to bother to give myself another chore of getting rid of an outdated ring with low ropes, or meeting someone sketchy on Craigslist or something just to get a measly $20 for that crappy ring. Is Goldberg worth dying for? Can’t I just find Goldberg without the ring for a reasonable price? Maybe not after all. Mattel has created the perfect entrapment to buying that terrible ring.
Anyhow, I’m just kind of fed up with Mattel not releasing a Goldberg figure for a reasonable price. Why does Mattel make so many useless Ultimate Warriors, Sids, Lana’s that nobody wants and that ultimately put toys r us out of business, but cannot give us a single release of Goldberg? I keep trying to tell myself the figure isn’t worth it because he has a jet white beard, big head, skinny legs and skinny waist.

Patience. There will be more Goldberg figures. There’s only 4 wrestling attires they can do. It makes sense for them to want to space out his releases and use his first figure to try to sell rings. I guarantee you that we will see a new Goldberg at SDCC.

honestly 65 for a exclusive figure and an updated ring with lights etc...isn't bad at all , considering some spent upwards of 100 for it.

What about the ring? Is it smaller than the Mattel Elite Ring or the same size?

$65 isn't bad for it. Frankly if you just wait, keep checking eBay, facebook groups you will find one. Don't give up.

The ultimate first world problem
but no, we will get Goldberg at some point (well, I hope so anyway!), you'll just have to wait until the dust has settled a bit longer on these rings. They're not gonna announce another while they've still got a pile of the rings to sell. I know people hate the whole ring and figure concept but at the end of the day I can guarantee a hell of a lot of people have bought a ring they had no interest in just to get their hands on the first Goldberg, and that's on top of everyone who would have bought the ring anyway...

Congrats on the baby. My kid likes his Jakks Goldberg. I also like my Jakks Goldberg and don't feel too let down by Mattel not making another Goldberg (yet ...).

I’m waiting. Luckily I don’t care tremendously about Goldberg so I don’t mind but it is stupid that single release isnt already being sold. It bothers me more that we don’t have a non-USA elite blonde surfer sting yet or Sherri or Billy Graham.

I didn’t realize that WWE and Mattel put Toys R Us out of business. Someone should tell on them.
It’s also not Mattel’s fault that your are having a kid or your girlfriend will be mad or that you don’t want to make the effort to sell the ring. I paid $100 for the whole package and I love the ring. Chill

I got the Goldberg figure from a member for essentially $10. Keep your eyes open and you will find one eventually

If you spend a bunch of money for the goldberg ring set just to get the goldberg figure weather its $65 or $100 your telling Mattel yes this kind of crap is ok. I love overpaying for 1 wrestling figure i want to get a ring i don't want. I honestly don't feel bad about all those that just stole the goldberg figure at all the toysrus stores around the country. I said it was going to happen and it did in spades. We need to let Mattel know that this is not acceptable and the only way to do it is with your wallets.
So I say don't buy it until its on massive clearance or don't buy it at all. I don't begrudge those selling the goldberg figure on ebay either because they are just taking advantage of supply and demand. If mattel would have just done the right thing and released goldberg in a regular single elite a lot more people would probably have bought his figure. They could have also released goldberg as a ringside exclusive and i would have been more ok with that then this current situation.

Pretty sure you could sell the ring separately for close to what you paid. Some people will buy anything
