I wonder how much, if any, the $99.99 price has to do with the packaging change?

Steve was on a pod a few minutes ago and said this isn’t happening now. Bruno is being moved to the main Elite line somewhere in mid 2024. Damn. I really liked him in the legends packaging. The new elite packaging sucks. 👆 |

Wasn't the Foley set always going to have an outer box? I thought it was 3 individually packed figures in a larger display box (kind of like the new Defining Moments set)...

I presume it was going to have an outer box like the DM set, whereas Mick requested (as per MWFP) that he wanted something similar to the old Jakks set for signing purposes. I assume that’s the change being made. |

What if you don't want the packaging? Can I get a cheaper option? Still scratching my head why I purchased this overly expensive 3 pack for 100 while Hogan multipack was 60 and change, and the 4 pack TNF is 80 and both have more accessories. I don't care about the packaging if that's what boosted the price up. It's gonna be opened anyway.
Personal opinions aside, are we trying to say Foley is over Hogan? Twice?

You’re paying more because RSC is paying more. This isn’t going to have the production run of the Target Exclusives. So It’ll cost more to produce. Plus once it’s finished ready to ship RSC will have their first shipment sent overnight air to them. They aren’t going to eat that cost so it’s factored into the price. |

Since it's exclusive to RS, does it really need to be air shipped? I don't think so. It's already delayed and not gonna be shipped before Christmas so there's that too, obviously can't fault them for that but.. |

If you don’t like it then you can cancel your order for a refund. No one forced you to buy it. All of their exclusives are overpriced. Their AEW exclusives are $35+ for single figures too. You can always wait it out and wait for a sale to see the price go down. I’m not disagreeing that they are expensive, but like someone else explained, it’s a lower run and not sold at a department store. Also, the price was $100 even before Foley complained and they decided to make the box set for the three pack. The box set didn’t raise the price. It’s just how RSC prices their exclusives. |

But we are not 😂 we getting it when preorder 2 supposed to ship. I mean I don't care for the delay, I just wished the gave mankind a cloth shirt for the price. You got 3 figures and 2 of the 3 come with cloth goods. |

I'm going back and forth, I already have the 3 ogs. But if my post bothers you, there's 4 corners in a room that you can cry in! No but seriously going off your argument the 4 pack RSE defining moments is cheaper and was more appropriately priced at 27.99 per fig, instead of this 3 pack at 33.99 per Foley. They both are limited runs. |

You yourself said it was 33.99 for them individually which is still cheaper than a regular single release RSC Exclusive. |

You yourself said it was 33.99 for them individually which is still cheaper than a regular single release RSC Exclusive. So explain the DM box set. It's 4 figures vs 3 figures. On initial release it was 115 dollars for the 4 pack, I know because I bought the first wave. That's ~29 dollars per figure for 4 figures. The Foley is ~33 which is 5 dollars difference per figure, however is 2 dollars down vs a regular single release. It costs more for the 3 pack because it cost more to put 3 figures into limited production than putting 4 in. These factories have minimums and the overall price per item goes down the more you purchase. Therefore a set of 3 figures is going to cost more to put in to production than the set that is 4, it's also why the single releases cost more than the multi packs do on average. This is basic business sense, I'm as anti-ringside as it gets and they do a lot of things I don't like, but this is ridiculous. |
