As I was surfing RSC, I noticed they still have a ton of those old elites series (39-47) heavily discounted, less than $10. This can't be good for the warehouses, as they take up plenty of valuable space for new products coming in. Do you think that at black friday they'll end up less than $5? Some of them (Zayn E51) are already 4.99. It'll be interesting to see how low the prices go next month on these old elite figures. I'm definitely planning on stocking up on BF for fodder parts and custom bodies. Let me know what you all think.

RSC is very smart, they’ll discount them even more & have great Black Friday & cyber Monday deals that last all week. They’ll make a killing & move a ton of those older elites plus the new stuff. Already looking forward to getting the smack down Jinder ring for about $70-80.

I think those deep discount prices are awesome! I remember last year somebody here bought lots of figures to donate which was a great idea i never thought of! I also remember somebody buying like 5 austin aries and apollo crews basics for the kneepads lol

There's a good chance they'll get marked down further, but how much is anyone's guess. Those series were nearly sold out on RSC and then got restocked around late 2017 when Mattel was selling backstock cases at big discounts. This was around the same time the figures started appearing at secondary retailers as well. So RSC probably has very little invested in the figures. Maybe they'll be motivated to clear out the space, but it really depends on how large their facility is and if the space is needed for other product.

Yes they most likely will. They don't wanna hold them forever

They had some great sales at the end of last year, and each one seemed better than the last one...Will be interesting to see if they do it like that again this year...I could have saved a lot of money last year if I didn't buy anything all year and then waited till the end of year holiday sale...I thought about holding off this year and waiting but I didn't want to take the chance of missing out on something, although most of what I bought this year were store exclusives that aren't really on RSC anyway...
