Are Mattel wrestling figures....the only toyline that make u pre-order before seeing them? Mattel isn't "making u" do anything. they're not? oh! I'm sorry. So its not Mattel that allows these pre-orders of their WWE figures, sight unseen? I guess RSC is just going rogue and releasing pre-orders without consent?

They aren't coming to your house, holding a gun to your head, and saying, "order these before you see pictures or we'll kill you." If you don't want to order them until you see pics, you don't have to. No one is making "u" do anything without your explicit consent.

Just voicing my opinion on the matter. But tbanks for the un-needed lesson in things I'm already aware of. My point is why spend an amount of money that is substantially more than you would pay for the same product elsewhere, without even knowing what the product looks like? I've been a defender of Ringside, so their prices are nothing new to me. In fact, I've actually pre-ordered numerous of the exclusives through Ringside, but after the proto has been released. Also, because there stands a chance that those exclusive figures won't be found anywhere else near me. The Elite and Basic series on the other hand, are almost always found in my area at one of the stores. Not to mention, with a little patience, I get to view various pictures of the product before making the purchase. It's not a matter of "not having the money", but more of "not wanting to waste money on something when I don't know what I'm getting." You don't understand the logic, then, because you can't see beyond your own situation. Just think of why you DON'T preorder and simply ask yourself, "Does everyone 'almost always' find things in their area?" A lot of people don't. A lot people live nowhere near a well-stocked toy store. They go through weeks or months of frustration, saying, "I never saw Kevin Nash in my stores" or whatever. Even those who do live near toy stores, there is no assurance that the figures they want will be available. Even if you wait for proto images, there is no assurance you'll get a chance to order it online unless you just so happen to catch it in time. If it is available, I take the small risk that it will turn out to be a figure I don't want.If it's available, and you know you want the character, you take the $30 risk. It's not any worse than a bad first date, or going to see a bad movie in the theater, which can cost a lot more than that, including time. But the great thing is, if you don't like the figure, there is always someone on eBay who buy it for a discount. You can sell back a bad movie ticket. Which brings me to my second point: to a lot of collectors, getting it delivered through the mail (before others get it mind you) is worth the extra $10 or so because (to some people) their time is worth more than that. I collect to collect, not to spend my Saturdays running from this store to that store. To those who enjoy that, more power to you! It is exciting seeing new toys in the toystore; it feels like being a kid again. But I make more working in one hour than the cost of a ringside preorder. So if I waste just ONE HOUR driving up to my K-Mart, look around, and see nothing, then I've lost $30 of my time. You'll never get your time back. But you can always make more money. I hope that clarifies the logic. I feel really bad that you typed all that out because I genuinely do not give a ****. I don't suppose it dawned on you that the reason I'm not looking beyond my own situation is because it's my opinion? You know what, it doesn't matter at this point. Major apologies for apparently raining on the pre order parade. I'll just be over here sad about the time I'm never going to get back from typing this. What a waste, right?

Well you did post your opinion in a public forum. Were you not expecting a response? Or do you just expect people to read it and contemplate the eminence of your statement? If you don't want people commenting on your opinion, then don't share it on a public message board. If you feel that reading my opinion is a waste of time, then maybe some third party feels the same about you. I'm sorry you can't handle it.

I pre-ordered Harper. I can see where East Coast is coming from, it's frustrating not seeing what you're buying when you are pre-ordering these guys, but at the same time it's Mattel. There hasn't been a debut figure that I have ever regretted pre-ordering. They put extra attention into the elite line, so things come out usually exceeding everyone's expectations. We pretty much saw the work Mattel can do with Andre, Punk, Sandow and Goldust before so I have full faith that they will make the most of Harper and Rowan.
