I enjoy Walmart's pricing of Elite 69 at $7.00. That's very fair.

I think anything under $20 is reasonable.

In Australia they are $29 in most places. Of course I’d love for the price to be lower so that maybe more will sell and the stores near me could get more series in more frequently. I do think the price can be worth it depending on the figure. I think the price of the basics harm the elite figure sales here because I see so many parents buying for their kids and they tend to go for the cheap option which means the elites look like don’t sell well.

I’m really liking this new $15.88 price at Wal Mart. They’ve always been $19.97. I think reg elites were more than $20 at Toys R Us at some point.

Then trying to buy online for us... Figure - $40 AUD Shipping - $35 AUD Import Charges - $10 AUD Figure Arrives - Botchy paint job and/or broken part  |

Around $12 to $15 is good. Anything over $20 for an action figure, I expect NECA quality.

It just depends on where you are. Walmart has $15-$18, target has $20, but then GameStop and other specialty shops charge $22-$35 but they are usually harder to find guys. I feel like $15-$20 is decent. And there's no tax in my state

I slut shame myself when I buy action figures but $15 is fair.

I feel bad for y’all that pay $30+ for elites. Anything over $20 is too much.

Yeah between Walmart, Amazon, RS and GameStop sales we have it pretty good. Canada seems to get screwed on MSRP a lot. At least you have healthcare...(I know, toy board, but I have to...) This comment. |

Ya I refuse to go over 19.99 unless I want the figure really bad, which is pretty rare for that to happen.

I bought an elite edge last week and it came with discoloured paint on the legs and a busted torso 😂 |

You guys really do not want to know how hard and expensive is it to get an Elite figure in Israel.
Because there is no great demand here for WWE merchandise, we have individual quantity of figures here, so what we have to do is invite from Ringside/ebay/amazon etc. 20-25$ is minimum for Elite figure plus another something like 15-20$ for shipping.

Around $12 to $15 is good. Anything over $20 for an action figure, I expect NECA quality. This is pretty much the way I feel about it. It’s amazing whenever there’s sales or stores that sell elites for $10 or less (E69 @ Walmart, when Ollie’s and Big Lots surprise you with some good stuff). Also really pleased with Walmart doing the elites for $15.88 lately too. It’s actually made hunting figures somewhat worthwhile again. Generally speaking I’m happy with the $19.99 retail or under. Even when I go above that for a new figure (Entrance Greats, Ultimate Edition, etc) I’m usually disappointed with the price even if I like the figure. Especially because I’ve started exercising patience with those and getting them much cheaper eventually. Another one that has made me happy has been the Retrofest Figures. Although I don’t like the $24.99 retail price on them, I’ve been able to get every single one in the series for significantly cheaper than that, so that’s cool. Basically, if you can hold out on buying things, you can get almost anything at a fraction of the price. |

It happened with the Aliens Hicks to me were his leg snapped right out of the package. And while mine was fine many of the Reeve Superman figures had hips break right out of package. I have no issue with the $15-$20 range for a mass retail figure purchase. |

I break up cost by hours worked. 1 figure is worth 2 hours of work for many of us....is it worth it?
