whats your stopping point

[thepeepman]

so guys in terms of elites and basics what your stopping point with the prices also do tru baf.for tru baf mine is 30 for elites 21 for basics 16.

[RybackV1]

It really depends I never thought id spend more than 30 then HBK E19 first came out. Then I said id never spend more than 35 and Ryback came out. LOL.

[Last Trent Barreta Fan]

Ill buy 2 elites and 4 basics (depending on the set at retail) and that's the max ill do per month.

$30 is about the max I'll spend on any figure. Basic, Elite, whatever. I was happy to get RSC Cactus and Austin for $24and $26. I did spend $35 on MOC E12 Kane but imo that was the deal of the century.

[gelatinoustapeworm]

I'm getting pretty close to my breaking point now. I just can't see myself spending more than $25 for an Elite and $15 for a Basic, regardless of who it is.

Since I only buy a case of each Elite set, sell the 2 extras and only buy the BAF Elites and Basics of people who don't have Elites, limiting myself to around $100-$125 a month seems to work out pretty well.

I agree $30 is my max unless I can find a real version of a certain figure I dare not speak about or my warning level may go up! I'd pay $150 for a legit version of that

So far the most I've paid for a single figure is $27 for RSC Kane. I won't set a limit because that might prevent me from getting a figure I really want. That being said, I am picky about which ones I get because I don't have an unlimited income.

I try to hold out and pay retail as much as possible, I will go 25-30 for older ones or the rare elite I cant find like a Nash that I know i wont be able to find in stores and for exclusives you just have to pay what they cost if you want them. I did pay 46 for a Vince in January because the quantities of that one are low but I dont see myself paying that much other than maybe one figure a year.

[AlexWestCollects]

I think I'm at it now. I only really buy FBs and Rock figs so I don't buy too many, but $30 for a regular elite is a lot.

[LA Times]

I spent almost $30 on an Elite PPV Cena at Toys R Us

[Mr. #1derful 🇵🇸]

At retail $17.99 is pretty much my tipping point. No way am I spending more than $20 for an Elite. TRU can go *£#! themselves with those BAF prices.

I think Mattel is full of S to be honest, working at Target I get to browse the toy section almost everyday. I noticed that Mattel has giant Batman playsets, barbies and other toys that have to have just as much if not more material that go into them an they all cost less or as much as the $20 they want for Elites. Im guessing its the licensing or royalties they have to pay to WWE

[JC Motors]

$30 for basics and elites. Special exception goes to TRU Vince and B23 Alicia fox which i paid $50 and $40 for

[Straightedge413]

30 is my limit

Go for broke.

Well, £29.99 for a Rock elite was the most I've spent. I've just brought Eve Torres which was £16.99 which is the most for a basic figure but I normally stick to elites. Would like to say £30 would be a limit, it would have to be an exceptional figure of a personal fave to get me over that. Not that I'm a big Nash fan but wouldn't mind getting his outsiders figure cos it looks great but I just see it for £60+ and that for me is outrageous!

[Halloween King]

I've had no interest in getting the Build A Figures. I think BAF is a nice accessory to get with your elite figures. And I would love to collect a wave a figures and be able to complete those BAFs but they always stick some lousy peg warmer in the Mix.

The first BAF forced you to buy a Cena if you wanted the BAF.

Then the second one forced you to buy Big Show and Miz. And Hbk, I know lots of people like Hbk but I despise the man so would never buy a figure of his.

Then the third one Forced you to buy ANOTHER John Cena.

And now the basic one forces you to buy Randy Orton and Dolph.

I just HATE having to buy a peg warmer if I want a BAF.


Anywho, I wont spend more than 16.99 for an elite figure, which is near impossible to find. And I wont spend more then 9.99 for a basic figure. There's only a handfull of stores I know of that still do these prices so I rarely buy wwe figures anymore.

I think it's borderline insane to think im going to spend 23.99 for an elite and 12.99 for a basic. Those are the prices at target buy my house. Especially considering how Mattel rarely makes figures I want. And when im slightly tempted to buy I usually am discouraged to purchase a figure when I see it comes with no accessories.

[Nivro™]

Seeing as how I only collect Legends/Flashbacks and we dont really get a lot of them....money is really no object for me. I can drop $30-$40 bucks on a figure as I know I wont have to buy anything for a month or two or more.

[The Dazzler]

Depends on what the figure is. Most of the time my max is $30. But very rarely do I go around that price.
