I saw some dude had a box of 20 zelina vega figures on ebay. So there is some fishy crap going on. Here is the thing, Mattel does not care. So unless ringside gets some of these exclusives I am sol. Toysrus canada stores where getting whole cases of e69 exclusives. Ebay sellers where getting tons of e82 Bulldogs. The world is upside down. International retailers have the option of ordering US store exclusives. It still does not make it right for people who get new cases at target and walmart without exclusives in them. I whole system is crap. |

One guy cut his losses and sold his entire lot while the other guy put them on eBay and in raffles. No one wanted it in raffles and the eBay listings fell from $100 to $60. I'm sure the one person has already lined up Kama. Thats a b!tch move if you ask me. UK collectors finally have an easier way of obtaining these exclusives and now they are getting screwed again. |

Is this the new thing here? Why even go to ebay searching for a new figure unless you are either planning on feeding the scalpers or you’re trying to get people to view/bid on them? It was the Race figure a few days ago. Kross yesterday or the day before. Now Kama. Who cares what the scalpers are doing? And why constantly bring attention to them? If I didn’t want a figure enough to preorder it or I can’t find it on the pegs then I just won’t add it to my collection. But I am not going to feed a scalpers or even draw attention to them. 100% If I was a conspiracy theorist I’d wonder if these threads are started to bring attention to them being sold. The only thing worse than scalpers is people moaning yet buying figures from them. Supply and demand. If people Stopped feeding the scalpers they’d go hunt elsewhere for food. thats the biggest problem is people coukoo bananas enough to pay such high prices for a figure just so they can have it a little early. |

You know, if there was any justice in the world, these store exclusives would ALL rot. The whole lot of them. Every time they put out an exclusive, it rots. And when the scalpers buy them to put online, they find that they can't move them for more than 30 bucks a pop.
I know it's just a fantasy, but seriously, it's the dream. A world where I could get these figures for cheap without having to hound RSC. It was nice when they rotted on *Ringside*, that was the best. I didn't need to hound, they sat there waiting until I could afford them. But I'm seriously salty about Zelina right now and, if it were up to me, she'd be the next IIconics figure.

The person with Vega got them from Smyths. He and another person ordered enough to make it worth using a forwarding service to get it to America. One guy cut his losses and sold his entire lot while the other guy put them on eBay and in raffles. No one wanted it in raffles and the eBay listings fell from $100 to $60. I'm sure the one person has already lined up Kama. Thats a b!tch move if you ask me. UK collectors finally have an easier way of obtaining these exclusives and now they are getting screwed again. Got my Kama from Smyths, at the weekend. |

Got mine today from the dude on eBay who has sold like 20. Fair price too.
Beautiful figure. New mold rocks. He is huge. VERY tempted to paint the white t-shirt on as that's how I remember Kama most.
