That's probably the only one they have in stock. Go look at E9 Ryder or L3 Rock or E7 Swoggle. Its supply and demand, those figures are highly sought after, RSC gets them from secondary markets, including these very boards, just so they can have them in stock for their customers. Trust me I wouldn't pay a penny over retail for most figures but somebody has and will.

Why don't you just wait for E16? You can buy 3 of those...

The next elite Punk looks nicer in my opinion.

This is why I don't buy from Ringside... Figures aren't worth that. I'd rather take my chances in retail.

Older popular figures are expensive on every site, not just Ringside. If you are looking for those ones ebay is your best option.

Seriously Ringside... WTF?!.. I have been an advid collector for years and have purchased almost all my figures from Ringside and tonight I went to pick up a second Elite 11 punk for a custom and BAM!! $89.99.. Ringside, you may have lost a long time customer.. Sorry for the rant folks.. that is a nuts price. look at the E9 Ryder and is worst. They dnt care about the people or collectors only the money. Remember they must pay their reviews that most of them instead of showing the figure reviews no they must have tom talking something not important. The only thing good is the price on the loose figures.

This is the only figure I've never found. At the time Elite 11 was showing up in stores, all the stores around here had an endless supply of Elite 9 and 10, then immediately skipped over to Elite 12.

1) Elite 11 was released 1 Year Ago and has been out of production for a very long time! 2) The majority of our original inventory for this figure sold for $19.99 - $24.99 3) We are still getting calls from customers asking for this item 4) The only choice we have is to either not carry it at all or buy it on the secondary market for the current value of $60-70.
This item is over one year old and the only way we can stock it is to buy them from the secondary market. If Mattel put the set back into production and allowed us to buy more cases of this set, we would gladly do so and charge $24.99 for this figure. You are blaming us for simply providing a rare item at the current market value. If we are buying it for $60-70 and selling it for $80, it's our only option to carry the item.

It's Mattel's fault really. If they didn't have to purchase a million John Cena, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio figures that they could never sell in a million years they wouldn't have to absolutely rape our wallets for harder to find figures to keep their business afloat.
That being said, $90 for a figure is ridiculous... $50 for a figure is ridiculous. Even $30 for a figure is ridiculous. Especially a basic figure with no accessories (like divas). Hopefully if Mattel starts making smarter case packing decisions the online prices will become more reasonable.

As critical as I can be of Ringside sometimes... I totally get this and why they do it. Makes perfect sense to me.

The fact that Ringside provide a no-longer produced figure should be deemed as a privilege and also the fact that they go out of their way, yes to make a profit but what business doesn't, risk spending a lot of money in order to supply for the public. I don't think it's something you should complain about, I think it's a fact of either taking it or leaving it, you don't like it, don't buy it.

^ Agree with most, but what about influencing scalpers to hit hard on newer series? THIS CM Punk is going for $80, what makes them think they couldnt get that on newer ones? I guess it goes back to distribution, case break downs. I personally wouldnt pay that, but it does suck when your area doesnt stock well.

The fact that flashbacks are being shorted in cases of elite 14 and elite 15 and 16 means this trend will probably continue unfortunately. And im not sure I buy the whole "out of production" bologna because that doesnt really explain the new cases of Elite 10 figures popping up around the country. It would be nice if Mattel would let companies choose which figures they want in the cases instead of just getting whatever they feel like putting in there.
