Scalpers are only as powerful as you let them be. I paid $50 for a Bret hart that was out of production but at the same time I wouldn't have paid $70 or $100 for the same figure.

Wolfpack Sting sure has shot up in price. That always happens when Ringside sells through their stock. They just haven’t sold through one besides DX: IYH Shawn Michaels in such a long time people kinda forgot until the 2015-2017 ones finally started selling out. Personally I don’t see a problem with old RSC figures having high prices, as the one exception to my hatred of upcharging. Although it’s annoying because there’s six I don’t have and some of those are too expensive for me to bother tracking down now (Edge, Nash, DX Shawn)

Honestly people moaning about scalpers is a bit annoying because if people didn't pay the scalpers prices and were patient that route wouldn't even exist

Retailers don’t jack up the prices kid. It’s secondary markets or specialty retailers.

Collecting is my hobby but I have never paid ridiculous amount of money for a piece of plastic. If I missed in a figure I just chill and move forward.

If everyone did this the scalpers would soon move on

Personally I have never not found a figure in my area that has been released and I don’t pay scalper prices for anything. If I didn’t want it enough to preorder from RSC/Amazon/Walmart/Target I will wait to find it on the pegs of Target/Walmart. And I have seen everything at least once, but it is annoying dealing with the people from T0y w!z hitting my local stores for all the popular high demand figures from DC, ML, SW and the WWE lines.

You mean like ringside collectibles🤣🤣🤣. No offense its cool yo charge a few dollars above retail cause its straight from the source but like 8$ and more extra is not the way to go. Especially if a regular basic type of elite is the same price as an ultimate edition. Especially if debut wrestler makes wave like aleister,pete,otis,huricane,buddy,etc. Why charge tons more ?

Ringside is the only site with the business model that they have, selling wrestling figures and getting them months before retail stores. The extra is to cover the expedited shipping and to make up for the deep discounts they have to sell the shelfwarmers at later on.
