Yep seen the fiend on FB marketplace for 80 bucks. Not sure if it's still up but I don't see this guy selling it for that honestly. Damn it's not up anymore. I seriously hope someone didnt pay 80 ing dollars for this fiend elite. That's the thing right? If people continue to buy figures at these ridiculous, inflated secondary market prices they're only perpetuating this culture. Show a little restraint people! I'm going to continue to get raincheques at TRU and enjoy my $20-$25 figures in the meantime.

Show a little restraint people!I'm going to continue to get raincheques at TRU and enjoy my $20-$25 figures in the meantime. I could understand if it was an older figure, ringside exclusive, etc. But lets be honest. This is Elite 47 AJ styles all over again. People panic buying. It was the first time in the line. Next thing you know we got 10 freakin elites to follow it and he's a shelf warmer. I will guarantee that Fiend will have several figures in the future. One with an actual Cape and Title belt. Heck I'll double down and say he will get an epic moments Firefly Funhouse playset with all those critters. SDCC is right around the corner people. I want Fiend as much as the next person but this is classic BS Mattel at it's finest. Don't fall for it.

Totally fair if its something that has been out of production from an older set or if it was an exclusive. But these are figures being bought at retail and being scalped right away. I guess I'm in the minority here but I won't cave in and feed into peoples selfishness. I don't care if you started collecting late and want to scalp figures to help acquire older ones, don't be a douche lol.

If you can't find it in stores just wait a little bit and the price will fall.

Jokes on anyone paying over retail on Fiend. They've all but confirmed he's getting an ultimate edition that will come with everything he's missing now. And it's only going to be 10 bucks more but they are paying at least double.

Did TRU here ever receive UE4 with Brock and HBK? I never saw it but I still wouldn't rule it out yet. I'm glad I ordered UE HBK but I used for a specific custom I wanted. I didn't order 2 because I'm hoping I'll find another eventually at retail. I'm still hoping because the chaps on the one I got had the paint apps messed up on one of the legs.

Is the HBK head as bad in person as people say it is? There was a topic on the main Mattel board where people here were just absolutely crapping on it.
