I just got a Michael Cole from Ebay for 29.99, is that a good deal considering you'd have to spend at least 80 retail to build him? How many build a figures have their been? I have legs for Johnny and Ricardo. Are there more expensive ones than others, I think one of them was included in a basic series? Anyone have more clarity on this subject and will the BAF this year have two sets elite and basic or one?

I would say that's a good deal. Usually BaF in my eyes are only worth the extra you pay for them, which adds up to about $20-$30.
So far there have been 4 BaF by Mattel:
BoPPV Elite Series 1 - Build Micheal Cole:
John Cena from WM27 - Arms
Triple H from WM27 - Torso
Bret Hart from Summerlsam 2010 - Legs
Daniel Bryan from Summerslam 2010 - Head and Jacket
BoPPV Elite Series 2 (Wrestlemania 28) - Build Ricardo Rodriguez:
CM Punk - Arms
Big Show - Had, Jacket and Mic
Shawn Micheals - Torso
The Miz - Legs
BoPPV Elite Series 3 - Build John Laurnitis:
John Cena from Extreme Rules 2012 - Arms
Christian from No Way Out 2012 - Legs
Sin Cara from No Way Out 2012 - Head & Jacket
Sheamus from Money in the Bank 2012 - Torso
BoPPV Basics Series 3 - Build Teddy Long:
Dolph Ziggler from No Way Out 2012 - Torso
Alberto Del Rio from Money in the Bank 2012 - Jacket, Head and Glasses
Brock Lesnar from Extreme Rules 2012 - Arms
Randy Orton from Over the Limit 2012 - Legs

The cool news about Ricardo and Cole is they use the exact same parts, minus the torso and head. If you track down the legs, arms or jacket, they are the same for both.

I paid about $80 for the full set including Cole for Johnny Ace, about $75 for Ricardo w/three of the figures, and $40 straight up for Teddy. I remember when Michael was going for like $100 by himself on eBay.

Right now the John laurinitis goes for at least 50-60, maybe more. Ricardo and teddy long go around 40-50. You got cole at a pretty fair price. Prices vary a lot but these are my ballpark numbers I've noticed while searching the bay for loose figs on the regular.

I've only built Ricardo, too god damn expensive over here.
We didn't get Michael Cole BAF and have just recieved Jonny BAF about a month ago, only go Christian.

I remember when Michael was going for like $100 by himself on eBay. Glad I got a decent deal then. It would cost around 100-120 for the full set of BAF Cole from ebay, I have never seen them in stores. So you have all 4 baf, do you have the build a table wrestlemania one? I wish theyd do that again. |

Buy 2 Get One Free deals on these are the best times to buy the BOPPV but with the recent price increases of these they are becoming less and less attractive to me. 30 bucks doesnt seem like a bad price for Cole no.

I went to a random TRU and they had BOPPV for 25.99!!!! WHATTTT, my store I go to they are still 22.99 but I can imagine when the next BOPPV comes out with Heyman, plus Punk in taker attire etc Mattel and TRU know they have us all and will increase the prices everywhere. Its really sad that they figures are 25$ and they still leave out things due to "cost cutting" and their quality control is lackluster. Plus I bought a BOPPV figure once and wanted to return it. When I got there TRU checked for the BAF piece it wasnt there and wouldnt let me return it. Obviously someone stole it. I am 26 years old with a full time job, I dont need to steal BAF pieces and they made me look like a criminal, but I called them right out on it. I wont ever let a TRU employee try to make me seem like a thief. I am a law student and made this "kid" look real stupid. |

I think my stores are 22.99 but I could be wrong. I really just go to my TRU to browse action figures and toys in general, not just WWE because I really never find anything there good really. They do have good sales but its hard for me to even find a 2nd or 3rd one that I really want to buy when they have their Buy 1 get one 40 percent or Buy 2 get 1 free sales. They dont stock regular elites usually and if they do 1 case. They are usually far behind on the Basics as well.

Ive been thinking about getting it. I use it to take pictures. When I sell individual figures on eBay, I also use it as a background sometimes. I think it makes the photos look really great.  |

Ive been thinking about getting it. It looks cool for display and it's not too big. I recommended it if you can get all the pieces without paying too much. |

Where did you get the steel platform. Came from an Unmatched Fury Mr. Kennedy. It's probably the only thing Jakks wise I have left, but it looked cool with the curtain, so I hung on to it. |

I wish I kept all my figures from my childhood. |
