Elite 21 Ryback... overpriced?

[Deleted]

Seeing how popular Ryback has become, this figure will definitely sell. But will it? The price for an Elite 21 Ryback is $39.99. This may be understandable at first, but when you look at the full cases, there is a different story. One full case has 2 Rybacks and the other case has 3 Rybacks. That is 5 Rybacks within two cases. The probabilities are that this figure will not be hard to find at retail. You will have to wait a few months for it to hit retail, but the price online is just not reasonable. Your thoughts?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I believe it is over priced due to the case break-downs. It is not like it is in short supply but if you want him, what is your alternative besides waiting longer? I would look for his price to drop once they are in stock

Yeah, you are paying for speed of delivery. You would get Ryback sooner than the general public.
That is worth $ to a lot of collectors.

Me. Plus, the convenience of not having to drive anywhere to get it, but mostly because I get it early.

Yes, it's over priced. No one is making people buy it. Either you want it early at an exuberent price or you wait until it hits retail. If it's anything like E18 then there are going to be a million Rybacks to go around.

I just sold my basic one for 3 times the amount I paid for it and no I didnt price him high I priced him fair with two other basics and he just sky rocketed I was surprised how much he goes for

[RybackV1]

I'm just sayin this has got to be the most expensive 3 per case elite that RSC has ever had. Ill wait til retail for E21 its not a huge deal, I'm just worried that I won't be able to find B27 in stores anywhere!

[AlexWestCollects]

I've been waiting for it to go on backorder so I can preorder that but not a lot of ppl seem to be biting on this one.

[peghound]

there will be plenty to go around. Only current fig I'd over pay for is the Jericho

[qdogg]

Yeah I expect to see these on the shelves similar to all the Brodus Clay elites I see on my stores pegs.

[Scott!]

I think it's a smart move buying online, the whole not having to drive around looking for it puts people off. Of course is gonna be dearer, but as mentioned its convenience.

[elbowdrops]

It's worth it. the figure is gonna be gobbled up by scalpers trying to turn a quick buck at first then die off and peg warm when they flood the market. If you want it day 1 this is the only way.

[Chewdeezy]

Just wait for retail, you can buy two at that price.

Best sig.

Anyway, I will just wait for retail. I will not pay that much for a fig I have yet to see a picture of.

As with anything, it depends on the individual. I eventually would like a Ryback to have a somewhat complete roster ,but he's not one of my favorites and I am in no rush to get him. If it was a Shawn Michaels figure in Summerslam 95 attire I'd shell out 40 bucks, but it's not. I think he'll be tricky to find at retail, but if you'e lucky and get to your stores at a decent time I don't think he'll be impossible to get by any means.

[lifeofmathiew]

its overpriced imo, including aj. maybe due to overhyped reaction when their basic figures were released.

As others have said, you are paying for the convenience of having it shipped directly to your home weeks and weeks earlier than it will hit stores on the West Coast, and probably a good 2-3 months before it hits stores on the East Coast.

People have had Elite 19 for like 3 months that ordered them from RSC. People on the West Coast have had them for about 3 weeks. I just found them in NY today. $16.97 per figure from Walmart.

It all depends on if you have to have them first, or if you are willing to wait. Personally, I need to wait for retail because that way I can get more figures. Wouldn't have been able to afford Brock, Kane AND Dolph from RSC, I would have had to choose 2, maybe only 1.

If I ever win the lottery I will definitely start ordering all my figures from RSC because that way I won't have to go to the stores and deal with rude people and the stores are dirty and everyone has super-flu. lol

[ClassicCollector]

A lot of items that have the name "Ryback" on it are currently overpriced, but that's what you can expect when a wrestler is popular!

[xsailor]

I'm probably going to wait for retail or until the price drops, I don't think he will be hard to find.

[Goon.]

I'm going to wait for it to be released at retail should be quite easy to find!
