Hmm... Figures are already expensive here in NYC, I can't even imagine after a price hike... That's why I only rely on Ebay now, but even so the prices are outrageous.

They went up to £17 here, from the 12.99 in 2011. It's pathetic.

Wrestling is like the 2nd major sport in Canada. Why does your county's retail selection suck so bad when it comes to figures? One reason is because of the need for bilingual packaging. Something about having to slap a sticker with French on it apparently means we can't get much up here. Also, I think most retailers up here don't want to take chances on "expensive" toys like Elites because they may not sell well. Toys are for kids in their eyes, not for adult collectors which is why you see crap like Flex Force, Rumblers and stuff on the pegs. Retailers are so out of touch with WWE stuff.

Once again, basics is STILL the way to go in my eyes. No matter how expensive basics get, they will always be at least $4 cheaper per figure than Elites.

Oooh they've gone up a dollar, what a crime :L. At least Americans get Elite Figures at retail unlike us in Wales.

Not that it really matters, because distribution is so unreliable that most Elite figures are practically exclusive to third-party sellers and online retailers at this point. QFT!

Here in Canada they're $24.99 and we rarely ever get them. Stop complaining.

I noticed 2 pack rumblers in my area are 9.96 now. That is just insane I remember when they were barely 7 dollars.

If your kmart has any elites you are interested in, get in there. Sale ends Saturday I think. Elites are still 11.94, basics are on sale as well. I have hit all around me and picked up quite a bit. Especially if you are into customs and fixups.
