Haha this actually reminds me of the time I met The Rock at a restaurant once, we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the bunghole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere The Rock shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a huge Rock fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” He was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, The Rock and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.

i ordered one from Amazon when they went up, mine came with 2 of the same head, so i initiated a "Return" and ordered a replacement. The replacement came in November and then it sold out and the value doubled. So instead of returning it, I just sold my extra one at the time with the double-head for $60, never would I have imagined it going this high....and honestly I'm mad at myself for pulling the trigger so soon. RSC listing it for $100 was a STEAL. People complaining about that are ridiculous. This is the same company that sold you the AEW Jericho chase figure for $100. They could have charged $150 for these Rock figures and it would have been at market value. You could have still bought it from ringside and made a profit selling it if it was that important to you. just curious because mine came from Amazon with two of the same head, do you remember which was the double? Mine was the eyebrow and no straight face. Just curious if they’re the same hah!...im pretty sure my double was the straight face

It's a highly sought-after new figure - that was a (third party) online exclusive and has been sold-out for a while. You might call it scalping, but Ringside are a business... if you ran a business selling wrestling figures, would you really sell the UE Rock at the original $30 Amazon price, knowing they are fetching SEVEN times as much?

Wow, reading this thread makes me happy I scooped him up right the away. Really the only UE figure that’s been a complete sell out.

I loved the UE Rock more for the head scans. I hope they release them again in the future.

This thread is giving me a brain tumor. People should know by now that when these things go up for pre-order or sale, do NOT hesitate.
Even so, the ultimate Rock went up for pre-order on JULY 23! It was up on Amazon for ALL of August and MOST of September before it started shipping in waves in late October into early November.
Even after that, it went up multiple more times for order. It was NOT hard to get at the time we were in the window of when the figure was current. Its time has passed.
We are TWO series removed from this figure. Hogan/Fiend has been out for a while, and Edge/Macho are out now as well.
Anyone still trying to get The Rock or not understanding the price.....you’re trying to get a figure 9 months after you should have bought it. This is what happens.
While I do NOT agree with the insane secondary mark up for this figure or any figure.....I am also not surprised and nobody else should be, because this is what happens to collectibles that are passed their production window. No one should be shocked.

Lol If you need a loan for $30 perhaps figure shopping shouldn’t be your priority lol. Also hate to break the news but Takeover 2 already was up for order. I’m sure they’ll be back in stock just like series 1 is currently but yeah you missed out on Rd 1 of that one too.

So I went to Target today and kindly asked an employee about WWE figures...why I only got out “Excuse me my good lady, but do you happen to have any more WWE-“ When she gave me this look of utter rage, turned a shade of beet red and BELLOWED “ I’M TIRED OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND BUGGING ME ABOUT THE WWE ULTIMATE EDITION FIGURE OF THE ROCK!!!” She then let out a primal scream and just started swinging her arms in a rage sending toys CAREENING through the air and crashing to the ground in the aisle. Then stormed off with a terrifying shriek tearing her way to the stock room leaving mothers clutching their frightened and crying children close and comforting them. I don’t get it...what did I do? Has it ever happened to you?

guys I just saw something crazy. I was at the brahama bull bookstore and I saw an ultimate edition rock on the shelf for 100 I was gonna buy it when the a guy next to me offered 120 then I offered 140 and then he offered 160 then Rock “The Dwayne” Johnson came running through the door and gave us both a rock bottom through the bookstore table. Haha this actually reminds me of the time I met The Rock at a restaurant once, we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the bunghole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere The Rock shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a huge Rock fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” He was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, The Rock and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

So I preordered this one in July and got it in October or whatever. One of the eyes was misprinted (like the Rock was blind in one eye) so I sold it and figured I would buy another when Amazon put more up for sale.
Oops.
But last week Amazon must have added a couple of warehouse finds to the listing - I was able to grab one from Amazon Warehouse Deals for $23! Just got it today, and the box is a bit beat up, but everything is included.

Nice find -- you had an alert set, or you kept checking? I really want the Star Wars 50th Obi Wan but it's sold out on Amazon and going for $75 -- is it worth doing an alert or constant checking?
