Was 26$ on ringside for a while, u can't wait for these which is almost 40 dollars including shipping which is almost double the price of what it should be "but wait if you order 60 dollars of figures its free shipping." Hate to break it to everyone most don't have 60 a month to spend on dolls those people shouldn’t be buying action figures if they can’t afford to. if they’re paying $40 after shipping, they might as well add a couple sale items to hit the $60 minimum for free shipping and get more bang for their buck. and don’t come back saying that $20 may be a big deal for them. if they’re buying action figures and stressing about money, that’s their problem |

Like most people I never saw the original Flashback Harley Race (or any of that set) in stores, so I was excited about Harley being released again in the Greatest Hits line. I didn't preorder him from Ringside but assumed I could get one later, and sure enough it sold out before I grabbed one. I was worried it would not come back in stock, so I preordered from another site and was content to wait a little longer for it to arrive. I saw it briefly come back in stock twice on Ringside but didn't order because I had one coming and thought I was set. Wrong! Just got this notice from the site I ordered from: "Unfortunately, we're sorry to report that the manufacturer has notified us that we will not be receiving any additional shipments of the WWE Elite Collection Greatest Hits 2023 King Harley Race Fig you ordered, because they have discontinued production of this item." So my Harley was cancelled and now Ringside no longer has him up. Guess I will have to take my chances at retail, although I have never seen a Greatest Hits figure (series 1 or 2) in stores. Serves me right for not preordering from Ringside! After not being able to get Harely the first time I didn't waste any time getting him ordered at Ringside. I knew I would never see him in stores. I've never seen any Greatest Hits at retail. |

Elites are $23 in most places now and tax in Chicago is just over 10%. RSC initially charges more because they pay more to have them shipped faster. You're counting shipping costs (that Ringside has to pay) as scalping? I'm also not sure where you are getting $40 from - I just put E103 Cody in my cart since he was $26 and it came out to $31.04 with the cheapest shipping option and the promo. That's about $5-$6 more than if I found it in Chicago (and that doesn't include gas or transit costs or time spent looking for it) - not almost double. And you can add figures that they are selling for way less than retail to bring your average price per figure down.  |

I learned years ago that if you’re ever on the fence or over confident, just buy it. Can always return or sell it.
First few years I missed out on some big figures for very cheap prices because I left them and many of them I’m either still missing or have had to pay 10x the amount to get.

He's 35 shipped on multiple listings on the Bay. You had your chance on Ringside for a long time. It's at other places for retail, plus shipping. If you miss out, it's on you dude. Please direct me to this places because I can’t seem to find them, nor do I see these listings on the bay you speak of Ah, my bad. See, I got my Harley when he went up for Preorder. So I really didn’t need to track his price. You’re right, he’s up to 45-55 in hand. Oh well, shoulda ordered sooner, thems the breaks. |

Hate to break it to everyone most don't have 60 a month to spend on dolls …and now you’re paying $50 dollars for that figure because you refused to pay $40 (it wasn’t 40…I guarantee you…if you’re in the CONUS) how bout that. |

I’m really happy I grabbed one immediately when they went on sale but in all honesty, I just want an NWA Harley with dark blue trunks and the mutton chops mustache. The king Harley doesn’t look right with the NWA title on his waist 🤷♂️.

I just checked eBay, and the re-release really killed the price on the original Harley. On the whole, very glad for people who wanted the figure, but a feel a little for the people who lost all that value

I see it on the shelf and it puts a smile on my face because I still have the same memories of watching wrestling with my dad. That’s the only “value” I care about. |
