The problem is that people are forced to pay 60$ for them when some people just want to pick up a couple at a time. Not everyone can afford that price point. If we could buy them as single figures for 15$ a pop )60/4=15 then I believe they would move better. They also never should have been sold for 3.99 like mr.t. that just caused everyone to wait for cyber Monday which is exactly what is happening now. Best way to sell these out is to slowly lower the price as quantity dwindles like Ringside does. When you go from full price to 30-40% off people will just wait for the 2nd markdown when they are about 7€ a figure. It's a mess that creations created for themselves. They should also tell us production numbers. These should be limited to 3000 pieces based on how the smaller companies are doing on their sales. If that isn't enough for the factory to make them than r.i.p. there aren't 10,000 people collecting them so I believe overproduction is a big part of the problem with this line. I have a strong feeling they are producing under 3,000 figures a wave. I can't believe this is selling more than 1-2,000 absolute max Yeah Idk I think you may be underselling them. My brother sells the retro's broken down into single figures for the last 2 years. Has done most of his sales with the Orange card set and the Lawler/Paul Bearer New Gen set with all the figures selling from $20-30. Idk what the exact number is but I would imagine its more than 3000. Regardless I can't wait for the No Holds Barred set in early 25 |

I have a strong feeling they are producing under 3,000 figures a wave. I can't believe this is selling more than 1-2,000 absolute max I believe Steve has said in the past that most figures have production runs of 5K-20K depending on the line and popularity. Obviously, that can vary and change, but i highly doubt they are producing less than the minimum of 5K. The NWO initial shipment was 5K (which sold out) and then there was an additional backorder run (I would imagine that was probably an additional 1-3K, which hasn't sold out yet unless RSC ordered more as stock got low). These are the only numbers that we can back into since RSC posted a pic of their initial NWO shipment. Everything else related to sales for this line is just speculation and strong feelings. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/358385/wwe-retro-general-discussion?page=204 |

And we know for sure it was 10 figures a box? Pretty sure it was 10 sets per box (so 4x10). Not trying to split hairs; just trying to make sure the math sounds correct across the board. But individually, that would be 10 of each figure per box, yes. |
