Total for the set is $146.94 to have it shipped to me. That's $24.49 a figure and I don't want JYD and I only want Cesaro for the trophy. Figures at Target are $18.99 and roughly $20.20 with sales tax. So I'm essentially spending an extra $4.29 per figure, which isn't bad on an individual basis but over the set it's an extra $25.74, which is more than a whole other Elite figure. Factor in the fact I actually don't want a figure from the set, and I'm really over paying close to $46. u don't want JYD? I can see not wanting Cesaro, but JYD is the best fig in the set I'm only 30, so he was before my time. I started watching consistently in January of 94 and before that I really only saw the occasional Saturday and then PPVs on VHS, which started with Mania 6. So I wasn't familiar with anything prior to 1990 until I was much older. It's a great figure, no doubt, but he's just not a guy that interests me because I never really watched any of his stuff. The only two matches that I can think of that I've even seen of his, at least that I remember, are from Mania 1 because it was the IC match and Mania 3 because he lost to Harley Race, who I enjoy and have made an effort to go back and watch. I'm sure he was great but I'm just not familiar enough with him to want his figure.

Was planning on ordering JYD, X-pac, Rusev, and the Outlaws because those are the must haves from these sets. However, I just spent a grip on new basketball jerseys for my basketball team that I manage and I can't bring myself to spend $100 on 5 figures at the moment. It's not a terrible price as that is about what it will cost retail several months later, but I just don't have the extra cash at the moment. Hoping these are still available come Friday, but I have my doubts.

Its not an age thing though.....because i just turned 31 and JYD was one of my faves growing up

Man, besides the bald spot they ain't even gonna attempt to paint some texture into Batista's hair. Just Sharpie everywhere.

Just pulled the trigger on JYD and Pac for pre-order. Came to $26.49 per figure shipped, which isn't bad because now I don't have to hunt for them and I will get them (Hopefully) quite some time before everyone else. Now, time to eat Ramen noodles for the next 3-4 weeks.

these dang elbow pads are not easy to come by...when u only release them on 2 figures in the last 4 years. Hopefully the finished X-Pac has them. Did Mattel lose the mold....or is it really that expensive to make those

I was going to get the basic Rusev, but I am going to have to wait because I cant justify at this time paying $22 for it.

Grabbed Cesaro and Bluetista. Each figure pains me; as Cesaro looks well, really bad. But I need that trophy. As far as batista, I havenr gotten a batista figure since elite 2 so it was time. That damn head though, the bad spot it good but I cant say enough how bad the paint looks. Looks like a sharpie drawn on. But I got them, probably gonna get JYD sometime down the line. Hate reigns, not updated Rollins, not a fan of x pac. So it was a semi-succesive wave for me. Waiting on hogan pre order.

So tempted but I hate having figures with imperfections such as paint marks, etc. so I'll have to wait til retail.

This is definitely one of those sets that tips your hand as to what era you came up on. Attitude Era folks are drooling over X-Pac. Modern era people are all about that Bluetista. And stick in the muds such as myself are ready to "grab them cakes" with that JYD.

Same price as the elite 29 case was... I think I'll hold off on these for now since I've picked up so much figures this month and just got elite 32 a few days ago.

That Cesaro sucks. What happened to the bigger torso MDT said they were gonna use?

I'm loving the Elite Bluetista, Cesaro, JYD and X-Pac... although X-Pac's tongue looks a bit too red(?).
I'm a bit disappointed with the "new" Alicia Fox... I don't know whether she's different enough from her first figure to pick her up. And Rusev looks great, although I'll probably wait until his Elite figure (which should be awesome!).

Wow, that Rusev is AMAZEBALLS!!!! On the other hand, that Cesaro is so disappointing. It looks like Terrance Stamp. 'Kneel before Cesaro'!!!!!
JYD is all mine, as is Bluetista (although I might buy E30 and switch out the arms). I am dying to see that Andre/Show set. I'm sure 'dre will be blue strapped. I don't think there has ever been an Andre with the burns
Actually, I just remembered. That weird Jakks Legends series of statues Andre had them.
