Interesting they mentioned Mideon on Viscera's bio. Maybe we're going get one in the future? AFA was asked about this before and someone being mentioned on packaging isn't indicative of a deal and they don't need rights to mention their names. Hogan's mentioned on the back of the first Boss Man Elite's box and that came out while Hulk was in TNA. |

Had to double check what I paid 'cause I knew it more than I normally would, but yeah, even after shipping, I paid a smidge less than his pre-shipped cost is now. Glad I did it. I think he started at $27.99 I missed the first pre-order so I’m not sure what it started at, but when the 2nd pre-order went up it was $29.99 for me. |

Supply and demand. They knew they’d be able to make money on the fiend so they had to charge more because I’m sure AJ won’t be bringing them as much. It all balances They don’t have to charge anything above MSRP. They choose to. They also choose to get them flown in early. This entire hobby is getting overrun with insane prices and now RSC is joining in. Hate to see it. if they want to make a profit and get quick shipping, yes they do need to charge more |

I never understood the whole “I gotta be first” thing.
I can wait a week or 2 and pay retail or less ... there are no prizes for being the first to post “in hand” pictures of a figure that everyone will be able to buy.
Not knocking anyone that choses to pay $12 or more to get 1 figure maybe a few weeks earlier than someone else, but I have the patience on stuff like this.

It saves trips to stores not knowing what may or may not be there, especially for figures like The Fiend that will go fast. So to me the extra cost is usually worth it between the early shipment and saving the hassle of going to stores. |

So is it safe to assume that the next SummerSlam wave will include Big Daddy V or the World's Largest Love Machine? His only other figure was part of the SummerSlam wave.

I don't want to be first. I just want both Rick Rude figures.

Has nothing to do with first for me. I've dialed back my figure hunting almost entirely in the current state of things. Getting out to find a specific figure this summer isn't going to happen. Now I don't have to worry about it.
