These are my guesses: Diesel 150 to 200 Doink 200 to 250 Macho 250 to 300 I feel like realistically, this is what people putting them up will probably try and sell them for. And obviously some will sell for that. But going so high out of the gate, a lot will sit until prices are brought down. The SDCC Slaughter is a good example. 100% They will probably start out lower when the market is flooded but after that I think this is where the prices are gonna settle long term. |

The only real winners selling wise are going to be the ones that donβt care about one or more of the figures. Because in that case even with all the fees youβll still have a good chance to clear at least half or even a little more of the buying price. Not a bad deal if you werenβt going to do anything else with the figure but let it rot.
But the whole thing about selling entire sets for 1000 or more. Never mind significantly less profit than it seemsβ¦ thereβs another major factor working against that. As far as wrestling figures go, thereβs very little record of people paying those kind of prices for anything except maybe like massive massive collections and even then those were sold at huge losses.
I mean there are a select few exceptions like some of those Waaiors I guess. The granite lightning one. And honestly did that even sell 1000? I donβt remember. And I know thereβs some really rare Hasbro ones but again weβre talking like less than five examples in 30 years.
Good luck thinking thereβs an entire market of people that are going to buy hundreds of these at 1000+. Because thatβs exactly how many are going to be listed when this thing does ship.
If there are actually people out there who want to keep everything but Macho theyβre going to make a decent amount back. But who the hell would not want to keep Macho?

Well itβs a forum, aka a discussion area, so I can discuss the New Gen Arena in this thread so long as Iβm not violating any TOS. And for the record, I followed this thread when I was just a viewer and not a member and there were plenty of people against the campaign who were constantly repeating the same points over and over about why it wasnβt worth 250, and conversely there were a bunch of people who were repeating the same points over and over why it was worth 250. And if memory serves, one of those groups tried to have the other policed. Didnβt end well. As far as today goes, price got brought up again and I made a new point about how people who donβt want some figures in the set will probably be the only ones who get something out of selling. You can always just block my posts you know? |

When I pop on here and see new pages Iβm wondering if people are getting shipping notifications but nah itβs the same people bickering about the value of these things. π

real winners are people who just wanted the ring and entrance
they might even be able to get Macho for free by selling just the other two and they donβt have to pay shipping for the ring/entrance
The ring and entrance look great to me but I have no room and itβs not an era I care about
either way Iβm hyped for yβall with whatever you do. If youβre reselling it, hopefully you hit big. If youβre keeping it, hopefully it ships soon

There was a UK site I was on the other day. Cant remember what it was called, but it had Doink and Diesel listed for sale at Β£120 (pound sterling) each. They were still available, though, so I assume not many are rushing to buy them even now, at that price.
I can't recall the site (I think i found it by looking for Legends 15 Kane images) but if anyone's bothered rooting around I'm sure it can be found easily enough.

You can always just block my posts you know? Already have bud. For those go bought multiple sets - are you displaying only one set? One set MOC and the other loose? Iβve got 4 and will open one and display one set MOC. The other two stored away. |

I'd love to see a list of all the elites/UEs that fit in to this arena. I wonder how big it would be.

*Narrator Voice* He hasn't. Selectively editing my post and attempting a clever quip. Try harder dude. Also, this is like your third time trying to mock me. Seems like youβre pretty offended. I guess youβre really banking on that thousand dollar sale lol. Youβll get it man! Tons of wrestling fans out there who missed the crowdund, but are totally ready to drop a G on this set for sure. 300 dollarssss richer amirite?? |

Iβve got 4 and will open one and display one set MOC. The other two stored away. I only bought 2, one to open and one to store. I'm mainly a MOC collector but New Gen stuff is a special case where I collect loose. Honestly it's so tempting just to keep the second for my self anyway but I only would want the ring and the Diesel to get signed. I don't need duplicates of Doink, Macho or the entrance way. |

Tons of wrestling fans out there who missed the crowdund, but are totally ready to drop a G on this set for sure. 300 dollarssss richer amirite?? You've mentioned that before, but a free $300-$400 - for very little effort/work - is nothing to be sneezed at(!). As I said, most people will probably be putting it right back into their hobby - and you can get a lot of Elite and/or Ultimate Edition figures for that amount. |

I just donβt see it selling for that much money. If there was like 10 of them in the world maybe. But again wrestling collectors are not known for spending big dollar amounts very often. And thereβs no record of anyone paying 1000+ for a wrestling collectible. I mean maybe that rare Hasbro, but again weβre probably talking like less than five instances ever. Thereβs going to be tons of these available on eBay and also broken up into parts. Are there really that many wrestling collectors that dedicated to drop that kind of money on a set that they somehow missed out on last year? I just canβt imagine thereβs that many people that love wrestling figures that much to pay that kind of money and somehow didnβt know about the crowd fund. Yeah I mean maybe there were some people who were broke or they were late into collecting. But in the first case they go from broke to being able to dispose 1000 off the bat for a toy? And in the case of new collectorsβ¦ II see new collectors on here all the time lamenting how they missed out on previous elite series, legends, etc and they donβt want to pay eBay prices. |

Well this thread went from anticipation to devaluing the product. Only took about 8 or so months.

I can only give my perspective on this, so I will. I bought 2 sets fully anticipating selling 1 off. Did I do it to turn a massive profit? No, I did it to contribute and get the numbers up on a crowdfunded project I wanted (before anyone says 'but it's only 1 extra purchase!' I hope you don't have that same perspective on voting). Will I sell the pieces at what the market is going at? Sure, I'd be foolish not to. But the money is long gone from my account so getting anything back, even if it's only a little more than what I paid, will be nice. Not sure why people are going back and forth about it.
