Unless/until Mattel makes another one, I don't think the price will go down.
I can't afford those prices, but if I could, I would. It is completely worth it, in my opinion.

I got mine for $19 and love it. Keep looking till you find one at a reasonable price. It is pretty great.

I got one only about a month back used just for display for 100 bucks. It is possible to find them for less than 200 on eBay, but its not common and you have to really stalk the sh-t out of the auction. otherwise, the only option is the 400-500 price range most people are selling it for.

It is only that price because of it's rare, they don't sell them anymore. If you like it or want it it is completely worth the money

I built my own, far better. The elite scale ring is just too big, the figures are lost inside it.

It's worth the $30 I spent for mine when AMZ had them on sale. I wouldn't pay more than $50 for it though.

You can get it for $30 at Big Lots if you're lucky enough to track it down. I personally would love to own it but I feel like it'll take up way too much space. From pictures/videos I've seen online it looks HUGE. Paying $500 would be just plain stupid, and it's ridiculous that someone is asking for that.

I have three Big Lots within 30 miles of me. None of them had any left. There is not a single one in the state of California I've had them do a product search closest place to me is Bullhead City, Arizona which is about 3 hours from here. So I broke down and paid $180 shipped which all things considered My car is a V6 and takes about $70 to fill up So $70 there $70 back that's $130 plus the $30 for the ring, plus about $20 for food. I figure I paid for the trip to go buy it myself lol

If you've got the tools, making your own ring isn't that hard. The most expensive material would be buying custom ring aprons from Naparo.

They're harder to find than you think.

It's for sure. They aren't making it anymore. Retailers won't order it. And retailer are where Mattel makes their sales. So they won't make it because stores won't order it. Stores want the small basic rings which is what Mattel is giving them. It won't be an internet exclusive because because that would mean a smaller production run...which translates to a higher priced item. People bitched about the $60-$70 retail price when stores did carry it. So they know it would be a failure on Matty $120-$140 which is what it probably cost to put it on Matty. So it's done. Look on the secondary market as that's the only place you are going to find it now.

Sigh.

Just because they're listed at 500 doesn't mean they sell for that much.

I bought three from an ebay seller I met. Funny thing, I was suppose to just buy one, and after he popped them out the trunk, I still debated whether to buy all three. At the time $25 each seemed expensive, definitely not regretting it now.
