When I saw who was in this case I felt sorry for Ringside. They are going to be stuck with those Sheamus/Orton packs for a while. Not that many collectors are going to buy those, and collectors make up a lot of their clients.
The primary people who would want that set is kids or parents just starting to buy figures, and those people aren't ordering from Ringside. 3 per case for those is crap and all on Mattel.
Also, all they sell is Wrestling figures, which is a limited market anyway compared to other toy stores, and even other Action figure stores online (spamS, AFE, EE) I don't see how they stay in business as it is.
Not saying RSC is perfect in this, and I don't order much from them especially basic figures due to price, but I understand where they are coming from.

With the bundle they are 29.99 each. Still a lot when you have to eat a Orton and a sheamus.

I'm not bothered about the charge, what gets me is paying for them before we even see a proto. You could be spending $50 and they could be garbage.

50 for PTP doesn't surprise me considering they are 1 per case & everybody wants them. what i find funny is trying to charger 23.99 for Orton/Sheamus that is 3 per case & nobody wants. Plus like 10 shipping?
i always wait for stuff to hit retail or ebay/amazon & try my luck there, was thinking "maybe i'll get PTP from RSC & save myself some gas" ...well, this would be the perfect time for that dean ambrose "NOPE"

I have the Darren Young Shelfwarmer that I picked up after the PTP took off. Lol they were still at my Kmart! And I got a E16 Rock which I can pretend is a Titus so until PTP hit retail it's good enough for me!
By the way Ringside, This set is going to make you $0!!!!!!! Well maybe $100 for those PTP lovers!

Plus, Orton's figure sold when he had a new head scan for the first time. For all we know, it may be a new scan and maybe Sheamus will be in a very cool attire and people may want it. Plus, Kane/Bryan are so hot right now, a lot of people would prefer to buy these two together.

I want the PTP badly, but the other two sets are iffy depending on the protos. I can assume what Kane will look like but Sheamus, Orton, & Bryan are all up in the air. If any of them have a new scan then I'd be interested. But I hate to commit without knowing for sure.

Mattel needs to make a battle pack with Christian and Cody Rhodes with the basic white IC title...instead of Sheamus and Orton..why are these two paired?

I just wanna know, who here actually buys a 2-pack for $50. Who is that impatient and rich? I understand why Ringside charges more for them - but not that much more. Their prices have grown progressively worse this year. (And I'm still mad Stone Cold got his price jacked up for the Xmas season.) I will get PTP at retail and maybe Kane/Daniel Bryan. I can wait. With the bundle they are 29.99 each. Still a lot when you have to eat a Orton and a sheamus. Very true. It's a lot cheaper to just wait and pick them up at retail for $40 total, rather than pay $90 and get a 2-pack you don't want.

Oh boy. Just what we need. More Orton/Sheamus. I can't wait to see six of those warming the pegs at a time.
I want Titus, but not that much.

cut them a break guys. If you don't want to spend $50 then don't and wait for retail.
It's easy to blame ringside, but it's out of their hands. Plus, they are providing the service of getting them to you way before retail and without the hassle of trying to find them. If they mean enough to you, and you want them, then buy them. If not then save your money and have some patience.
There's been plenty of times that I've bought an elite for $30 bucks that I could get for 16 but I like having them early and without having to fight scalpers at the store, let alone if my local store even gets them right away.
on a side note, I'm HOPING Kane has a new headscan with the updated mask, or atleast a different expression to swap over onto my elite 19

Orton / Sheamus is an awful pairing. They're both 'top' guys, but Orton's battle packs notoriously rot until they're clearanced or a sale comes around to clear them up. Hell, the last one that came with the first Christian figure in a LONG time + a WHC championship is the bane of my existence at may stores around here.
I'm not a huge PTP fan nor am I a huge basic collector so it's an easy pass for me. More power to Ringside though, it isn't their fault that Mattel did the case pack this way nor is it their fault they have to sell it at that much to make a profit.

ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO! $50 Dollars for basics is WAY too much. I think I'll wait this one out.

Remember when Jakks would make BCA's in the late 90s during the attitude era, and they were like $5.99 each and so easy to find?? I miss those days.... But hey, $50 for a tag set is good too....
