I was told by multiple managers that not all stores would be getting them. Something about basing if they get them and the number they get off of the toy sales of each store. The stores that will received them got an email from corporate telling them how to display them. Well that just sucks. While that may be true, I find it hard to believe that the company gets an exclusive figure and won't put it at all stores.

But that doesn't make them rare, it makes them more sought after. Yes it makes it more rare to see the figure for sale, a good price ect. But it doesn't make the figure itself rare. Honestly, I still consider it rare. If it's worth more, it's more rare than a fig that is cheaper imo. Worth is only determined by what someone will pay for it... ask 100 people from this site about what they would pay for different figures, we will get a ton of different answers. It's like the warrior figures. I love the 2k one, but I'd never pay what the guys did to get one.

I don't care what some say, it's obvious some figs are worth more than others, making them more valued, resulting in them being rare. Top 5 figs IMO are: RSC NWO Macho Man Elite 16 diesel or Nash TRU Exclusive McMahon RSC SES Punk RSC Cactus Jack Happy to say I own them all But that doesn't make them rare, it makes them more sought after. Yes it makes it more rare to see the figure for sale, a good price ect. But it doesn't make the figure itself rare.

Aside from op.. Id love to see pics from everyone else that will be crawling out claiming issues with the figure Just opened mine. Figure is fine. Paint is great, no paint issues and all joints are solid.

18 figure haul from RSC came in today. All 3 of the new battle packs All of elite 43 DM surfer sting 5 basics Only complaint I have with all these figures are, barons chest tattoo needs to be bigger and bubbas arms being so long . I got the corrected sting boots, so looks like I gotta hit tru for the laced one. And my samoa joe has no looseness issues. Only issue out of all these figures is a small blue smudge on kofis right knee.

Matty has done it with all their subs that went passed the first line. They needed to get enough people to do it to make sure it wasn't a flop.
Castle greyskull Last 2-3 years for motu was rough.

Here is the difference with that idea. Batman, need his cape and logo. They are very much a part of him. Shawn Michaels isn't known for his knee pads. Bret hart isn't know for his elbow pads. While I'd love it if things that they did wear were always included with the figures. Sometimes it's just not going to happen. Be it due to other more important accessories coming with the figure. Budget for the line being ste up by another figure. Or the budget for that figure was used up by making sure it had specific paint apps or correct parts I'll gladly sacrifice smaller things for the figure to be as close to accurate as possible. By the same token - Shawn Michaels isn't "known" for an orange ladder. But he ALWAYS wears kneepads! Just like Batman and his cape. Your comparison sucks! He's not "known" for his little shoulder thingy at Badd Blood, that was a one time deal. He's not "known" for his Euro-title run. It's a tiny part of his legacy. Yet they included those. Where are the kneepads!? He may not be "known" for them but he wore them every time he performed! Bret Hart may not be "known" for wearing elbow pads, but he's "known" to have worn them every freakin' time we ever saw him! Including the photo on the box! Nice try man, but, NAH. "Little shoulder thingy" his entrance gear is well known and sets him apart from many. While his euro run isn't amazing. I'd personally rather get a nice belt . Orange ladder... big deal in a historic match he had... I'd much rather all those things than knee pads... While it would be so easy to say something like NAH your opinion sucks. I'm going to skip that and let you continue on your rant. I'll sit over here and continue to enjoy my hobby and not let it aggrivate me and become a chore.

It's been brought up multiple times, they can't include it in the budget. Obviously you weren't aware that a budget is in place. I just said why it's been brought up plenty of times. People have an issue with it. Stop repeating yourself. I personally would rather pay an extra dollar or two to have all of the stuff included. It's cheaper than buying a basic fig just for pads + acrylic paint, decals, brushes, etc. The bottom line is they are raising prices and taking things away. Increasing the profit margin obviously. Don't do egregious things like put a picture of Bret Hart on the front of the box with elbow pads on and not include them. That is highly annoying as a consumer. Someone mentioned this earlier - what if a Batman figure came without the bat logo on his chest even though it was pictured on the box? Wouldn't that be irritating? Would that raise some questions in your mind as a loyal customer? The whole Elite line was based around "authentic ring attire". And as time has gone on, the figures have become more expensive and less authentic. Maybe you are fine with that. I just brought it up for discussion. I don't expect anything to change or for you to jump on board with me. I really don't care what you think at all. I'm sharing my opinion about these figures that I love. I want to see the product improve, like I've said. Clearly many others feel the same way. Here is the difference with that idea. Batman, need his cape and logo. They are very much a part of him. Shawn Michaels isn't known for his knee pads. Bret hart isn't know for his elbow pads. While I'd love it if things that they did wear were always included with the figures.

It's military time.......and if you're being sarcastic,...... it's military time. Subtract 12 from 18... 6:40pm That's technically a misnomer. The 24-hour time system was in use way before there was a "military". True, it's just what it's become known as.

Nash wasn't any rarer than Diesel seeing they were a fifty fifty split in e16. The problem was some areas only received the Diesel case while others only received the Nash case. I saw at least 18 of Diesel, but only 2 Nash. Meanwhile I had a friend in Buffalo who only saw Nash cases. Yeah, it simply mattered where you were. I saw one of each case. But I did get my Nash that way, and it was the only time I saw it.
