SOMETIMES smaller orders don't get charged but its NOT guaranteed. Both ASRs are the same, just based on preference. I think RSC also has post/ringskirt accessories you can buy. Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. My luck doesn't go far unfortunately. I contacted WCT again as I noticed the Classic Cage play set is no longer listed on their website. They told me that it has been discontinued due to lack of interest from retailers. Now I am not sure what to do as the only place to get this set is eBay and everyone on there (there are only a few listing from what I saw) are selling them for insane amounts ($100 and up). I contacted Ringside but the person they got doing the online chat is not very helpful as he didn't know when anything is going to be in stock again. Apparently they don't sell classic style turnbuckles or ring posts so the only accessory I could get from them is the red, white & blue ring ropes (which are currently out of stock ). Ha Ha! How can you have a wrestling figure collection without a wrestling ring?! Granted these ASR's are huge suckers from what I have seen (watched some un-boxing vids on YouTube) but they make for a great display piece (which is what I intend to use the ring for, not to play with them. ) I have a ring from when I was a kid stored away somewhere.. I guess that counts lol

That's why I don't make big orders from ringside. If your orders stay under 40$ you can avoid duties. I know that's not always ideal but that's what I do. Id rather pay 13$ shipping twice and spread my order out over a few orders and avoid duties! Just a thought. Thanks for the comments. Are you saying that duties only apply to orders that are for larger amounts?! Interesting, I was thinking of placing one big order due to all these fees but now it looks like its better to split things up and place 2 smaller orders. Does the shipping method make any difference, I noticed RSC gives you options for shipping- Postal service or FedEx. I assume the duties apply regardless of which method you choose?! I am debating whether to go with the RAW ASR ($56.99) OR NXT ASR ($31.99)?! Why is there such a price discrepancy between the two- is it because RAW is a more well known and mainstream brand while NXT is not as popular?! I believe USPS is a cheaper option than Fed Ex on RSC, but neither will guarantee no duties. For my money it makes no sense to place a big order to save a few bucks on shipping, then get hit wit 40-60$ of duties when it arrives... better to places small orders and pay for shipping each time. If you keep in under 40-5o should be fine. No idea about the ring as I'm not a huge fan of rings sorry lol. Good luck!

Can anyone put ringside exclusive HBKs glasses (the first one, early HBK with the red and black zebra striped hearts) on the Christian from the edge and Christian BP? Those holes in the head are driving me crazy and i need to find some glasses to fill them that kinda could pass as Christians big sunglasses... Thanks if possible!

Damn that cloth shirt makes this one hard to resist... However i'm disappointed that this is replacing DM, coming at a higher price point and with less accessories... sign of the times I suppose...

Hey all, Has anyone one here ordered anything from Ringside? Aside from the shipping, which I noticed is kinda high ($25), are there any other fees I might get charged?! I have read something about a duty fee- how much is this or does it vary and do they always charge this fee?! I am contemplating placing my first order, looking at picking up an ASR ring and the classic cage play set, which I am waiting for them to re-stock. I contacted Wicked Cool Toys recently and they told me that the play set is not sold by any retailer in Canada nor any of their Authentic scale rings- were these rings ever available here?! I noticed that TRU carries those huge 30" figures that WCT makes yet for some reason they don't sell any of the rings?! I would think that since they sell action figures that selling the rings alongside them would be a no brainer?! Thanks. Yep. Got hit pretty hard by FedEx after my delivery was made. I got a call from Fedex a day after RSC shipped my package, then literally weeks after I received my figures I got a bill in the mail from FedEx saying I owed $42. Made the entire purchase not worth it at all. It's not really RSC's fault but I won't be ordering from them again. Importing stuff into Canada freaking sucks now. That's why I don't make big orders from ringside. If your orders stay under 40$ you can avoid duties. I know that's not always ideal but that's what I do. Id rather pay 13$ shipping twice and spread my order out over a few orders and avoid duties! Just a thought.

Got these in the mail through a trade. Really happy with them. I’m hoping Virgil comes back to Toronto soon so he can try to price gouge me when I ask him to sign it. I need that Piper sooooo bad! Can't manage to find it at non gouge prices though... And of course, right after I posted this I found him for 55 canadian shipped on ebay! Can't wait!

Random updates from TRU Canada's twitter feed. The Shinsuke Nakamura Pop will be available in december, we won't be getting HOF Series 5 Elites and a Bayley figure (possibly her network spotlight figure) will hit in the spring. That was my tweet they responded too! (HOF 5) lol. Total bummer. Want that Pipper bad... scalpers is it I guess :/

That sucks for those who wanted the Virgil figure. It was an easy pass for me though. It still doesn't make any sense as to why Canada gets some figures and others we don't. When you look at the figures we get vs the ones we don't it really seems like we get figures when there is a lot of stock still that they want to get rid of. The only network spotlight we didn't get was the Baily, which I believe was hard to find even in the states, therefore we didn't get any. Same with TNF wave 1. Seemed to be a very hot seller state side... so none left for us. That's why we get figs 2 or so months after they are released in the US... We get the extra stock they are having trouble selling. Just a theory of course lol.

Has anyone see zombies series 2 pop up in Canada yet? Need the Stone Cold. They didn't seem to sell well last time and they have been out in the US for a while so I'm not so sure we will get them. Any thoughts or insights appreciated!

TRU will be filing chapter 11 which means they will likely still be around for a while. Think SEARS.

Mattel keeps giving figures two accessories and one open hand... they did the same thing with 'the list' Y2J and it makes them both easy passes for me...
Really can't wrap my mind around why they would do that...

Went hunting for Marvel legends but came out of Walmart with these!!! Nice find! Unfortunately I guess that confirms we won't be seeing 'part 2' of the first wave that we missed with undertaker and warrior.... bummer...

Which one are you looking for? I was at Yonge and Eglinton. I can look at some locations near my house, if you'd like - I can report back with what I find. The son of a plumber Dusty Rhodes! Thanks man that would be amazing! If there is anything you are looking for I can keep an eye out too just let me know!

Wait.... he comes with 2 accessories but one open hand, so he can't hold both the list AND the pen at the same time....
Well thanks for making this an easy pass for me lol

Went to Toys R Us today and picked up a Dusty Rhodes SummerSlam basic. They had about three or four Seth Rollins' left, quite a few of The Rock, one Nikki Bella and one Dusty Rhodes (which is the one that I picked up). They also had a Mankind Elite as well. I've been to 3-4 TRU's int he GTA with no luck! Where did you find him?
