All of the Elites? It wouldn't take you long, but it would easily cost you over $1000.
Some of the Elites from Series 1-4 are going for massive amounts. E4 Jerichos are going for $50 a pop. Plus, people like Elite Batistas are going for a lot as well as some earlier Punks.

Probably very hard. Or, should I say expensive. If you have the money to afford ebay/t****z/ringside prices, then it shouldn't be that hard.
EDIT: Why can't we say t o y w i z?

Very Very Very Very Very Very hard. Be willing to spend about 40-50 dollars if not more for MOC figures between series 1-12. Series 13-20 you can get pretty easily for under $35 a figure. Hope you have a open checkbook though becuase you will need a LOT of cash. Personally I would just collect my favorites if I was just starting out, but you can find all the figures in the elites either on the classifieds (which you can access once you have 50 posts) or on ringside collectibles or ebay.

Ebay has most, if not all of them. For the newer series, you should check Ringside too.

Are you wanting them loose or packaged? Are you wanting ALL of them or just most? Just curious.

I am in the same boat as you. I just need 17 more to be caught up.

EDIT: Why can't we say t o y w i z? Because they are RSC competition. Why would they or anyone else want to promote them? They are the biggest scalpers out there...and on a personal note it sucks that I have to see them (TW) rape the pegs of my local TRU/Targets/WalMarts daily. |

You've actually seen their employees taking figures from retail stores? I thought they were only an online store. Yes. Their store is across the street from the Spring Valley and within a mile of the Nanuet TRU and Palisades Center Target. The Targets are where they go to dump their pegwarmers. And their warehouse is located in the industrial park behind the Airmont NY WalMart. They hit stores within a 50 mile radius. So you have to pic what stores you hit first hoping they've gone to one of the others first. If it's the owners mom she will rum you over to get into the aisle first. Their office manager is pretty cool as he'll let me look for what I am looking for first. And then there's another person who buys for them and he'll let me look first unless it's something for his collection. But yes they try to monopolize the area forcing parents to have to shop there. When my daughter and her friends were younger every birthday or Christmas I'd here one of the parents say they'd have to go to TW and pay 2-3 time the price because none of the local stores would have what their kids wanted. |

I HATE TW! They always have stuff for preorder, example b27 Ryback...preorder January....January comes and goes and it still says preorder January. Then half way through Febuary the preorder date changes to April! I swear they do it to suck people in to PO them, then they go try to scalp them, & if they can't find them, push the date back

So TW buys their stock from retail?? Don't they have an account with Mattel? Or are they just buying extras?

Yes they have accounts with the toy companies, but they also send their people to the area stores. One time the office manager told me after he was done at our TRU they were sending him down to the Franklin Hill Mall (?) The outlet mall in or near Philly, because they saw they had ZuZu pets when they were the hot item.

That's pretty shady, I always thought all their merchandise was directly from the manufacturer. But then I always wondered why they had all the TRU exclusives. |

yea I've run into the TW guys too. Only time I clash with them is when there is a Toys-r-us Elite style exclusive, trying to get it first. I know how to beat them thou. you basically figure out which day the toysrus stocks and hit them that morning. the farther away from Naunet the better, because the dude starts up there and works his way down 17-4-46-3-10-rockway and so on.
they also know about the figure finding board and monitor it quite frequently

F that. I have purchased from them before. Didn't know this was going on. I won't ever buy from them again.
I would hope Mattel resigns. I feel like they are doing a great job with the lines.

If you got the money, you should be able to do it. Ebay is the way to go. I have been collecting less than a year and for the older figures, I buy the Elites in MOC lots from ebay. I've gotten some great deals on there. From when I started collecting, I was able to keep up (mostly) with the current releases, be it online or retail. I am in no way close to a complete collection, far from it, but I've amassed a collection I am happy with. When I started, I wanted to get at least one of each wrestler before getting the other versions so I could have a good roster. For example, I wanted a Del Rio so I got the E12 version. Getting the E14 Del Rio wasn't as much a priority but I picked it up when I found it. Welcome to the WFigs forum and good luck with your collection.
