That or there are those who see dollar signs in their eyes and think Muraco is a license to print money like Harley was, seeing as they're both 80s legends in a Walmart exclusive line.
Thing is I believe the Survivor Series set is 2 of everyone per case while Race was only 1 in an already hard to obtain set.

Mattel has made 800 plus Elites and one of them turns out to be super rare. So the odds are Muraco won't be the next Race. Also Race was a damn near perfect release where as Muraco has flaws.

Any reason why Nakamura is so dang inaccurate? The pants are the wrong color, it's shocking. I expect more from Mattel, he looks like a 2009 Jakks release.

Oh, and this was a 2009 Jakks release: Any reason why Nakamura is so dang inaccurate? The pants are the wrong color, it's shocking. I expect more from Mattel, he looks like a 2009 Jakks release. because that’s the attire he wore at last years survivor series. It's from 2017.

Wow! I didn't see that Survivor Series, I genuinely believed that was a botched attempt at last year's match vs Rollins. Sorry!

They’re all 2 per case ... I seriously hate scalpers.
Like, do these people literally get off on getting something before someone else does, so that they can price gouge it to someone that simply just wants to have it for the sake of having one in their collection ?
They’re pathetic.
You can call it a “I got there first” or whatever lame ass attempt at sugar coaring it that you’d want ... but it’s pathetic af.
I mean if I find anything current in stores and anyone needs it, then it’s whatever it costs me plus however you’d want it shipped... THATS how this hobby should be !
Instead, there are losers that see these as money making opportunities to gullible and impatient people.
Makes me sick ... it’s a plastic painted action figure ... grow the hell up 🤦🏼♂️

If people do not pay the scalper, then they are out of buisness. I went to one Walmart they were loaded with Elite 69. The scalper purchased all 4 sets. At the time no Rock Collectors edition and out of the 4 cases no chase Ali. This guy actually was complaining people must go in late at night to buy them. 2 days later I went back they had 2 Rock and the Red Ali, plus rest of the set. This same guy walked up to me and actually asked me if i really needed both Rocks? I looked at him and asked him where the 4 sets he picked up the days before went. He shook his head. Laughed and walked away. Most of the scalpers seem to have nothing going for them, besides being up first thing in the morning, standing at the store doors waiting for them to open to hustle down to an aisle. ALL FOR ACTION FIGURES.

I found a 3rd Patterson after getting my loose and MOC ones and only sold it for cost and shipping which I think rounded up to $25 shipped which to me is totally reasonable. Hell even $30 isn't that godawful once you factor gas and time in the equation. We are in a society where instant gratification is a requirement. It's like kids who brag about having a toy first and pay a premium for the bragging rights which will eventually expire as the figure becomes widely available. Every store exclusive I've found has been an exercise in patience which pays off. There's no greater feeling than walking into Walmart or Target and finding an exclusive no matter how soon or late you find it.
In the end, they're toys. Not trying to discount the work Mattel does since they've done a fantastic job as of late, but they're pieces of plastic fashioned in the shape of wrestlers, worth the MSRP.

The instant gratification thing is too real. That’s why these scalpers make money. Some collectors will buysomething for a ridiculous cost, just to say they have it first or so they don’t have to search for it themselves. The scalpers are pathetic, because they kind of ruin the whole hobby for a lot of people
