Im just gonna be honest, everyone has complained that its been too hard to find these in stores and wanted them online. If they sell out (days/weeks) after they are posted and you dont get one....You lose your right to complain. Mattel did their part. Do yours. Dude i never even got a chance to preorder either blasie or graham before they where gone. So for everyone like me your argument is invalid. |

They were on RSC for a couple of days which was plenty of time to put an order in.

Blassie was up for like a week, Graham was up for like 4-5 days. Should’ve had plenty of time. |

I don't know why people are blaming Mattel for this... They made these available on RSC and they have limited to 2 per customer so that everyone should get a chance. More over paying 30$ for a figure u will never get again is a fair deal. I am an international collector I paid shipping also but happy to order one on RSC. They had Graham for a quiet a long time blassie was gone in a flash but still they put a back order. I thank RSC as it was easy to order one for me bcs at my place Target do not deliver and evil bay is just a disaster.

Its not like they were some SDCC funkos and gone within an hour. |

There will be more grahams than gorillas so I agree Graham being a 2-in-1 is pretty great tho ...If he came with a belt then different story Got mine ordered along w a custom version of the wwwf belt he actually wore & Sleeveless Tshirt cant wait for this to arrive |

Love how people still complain about getting these exclusives especially when they are on RSC for days. It can’t get much easier.

If they sell out (days/weeks) after they are posted and you dont get one....You lose your right to complain. Mattel did their part. Do yours. But but $30 is just way too much "for a figure like this"! They'll just wait for it to hit clearance  Ah yes, just like how all those Harley Race cases hit Five Below and TJ Maxx, right? "They were going to, but Corona spoiled that!" Sure they were. Even if you order nothing else to get free shipping, $35 shipped is a great deal for a store exclusive that's going to be a pain to find under the best of circumstances. I may have lucked out with Gorilla, But apart from him, the only main like Elite I saw more than once was that Rock (I still say Walmart got cases of just him) and Brisco and Anvil once a piece. I sympathize with our international humanoids (I kid, I kid!) but they're not the ones complaining.I'm pretty sure more will go up as the series come in stock (so good news for people who still want it) although probably not for that price. But that happens with non-exclusives, too. Hell, good luck even finding certain widely released vanilla Elites, like Otis, Brood Christian, Rick Rude and the Fiend for $35 shipped on that place of evil. I'd get it and be on your side if this was Marvel Legends level of insanity where entire lines will sell out in less than an hour (still need that Strong Guy series, dagnabbit) let alone minutes for Walgreens exclusives. Or Masters of the Universe Classics in the Matty days. But I'm sure most of us that wanted one or both of these guys jumped on em as soon as they went up. Eh, people gotta complain. I give RSC a big thumbs up, and like I've said before: when it comes to Legends, keep offering them, I'll keep buying them. I wish they had been allowed to sell Legends 7 too, and am not a fan of Target's pre-order hold authorizations, but better that than no pre-order, too. Very happy Legends in general are creating a buzz and selling well. Hope to be surprised at SDCC! |

They were on RSC for a couple of days which was plenty of time to put an order in. Hey, just to point out something. Some of us are very poor and only get, say, 70 bucks a week to play with. If I want to make an order from RSC, I have to plan two weeks in advance. So to say that something being on the site for three days is plenty of time? That's really making a huge assumption against people who live week to week, paycheck to paycheck. Not everyone who collects figures has money. Some of us have quite meager funds and have to choose weekly between "Well, do I buy milk this week, or do I treat myself to a used basic." There's a huge reason I can't bear to pay over retail for figures. It's because, if I put out 45 dollars for a single store exclusive, that's half my weekly allotment (which is supposed to pay for things like food and gas, with maybe about 20 bucks pocket money at most for me). I'm not trying to be mean here just... try not to assume, OK? |

All I can say is there's a good chance these will pop up, although probably in more limited numbers, when the waves are actually in-stock. Before the Blassie pre-order went away, they were listing mid-July as the ETA so you have a bit of time. |

Wow the hype on this is very exciting. I'm so thankful I pulled the trigger on it. I'm sure they'll get more but the cost will probably be $40-50.

They were up for 4-5 days lol you’re telling me you couldn’t pre order it on your lunch break or anything. You always find something to complain about |

AFA and rsc told us both we’re gonna be on rsc. Why not just put some of that budget aside and be ready? If you don’t have the budget spare to get them it won’t matter when or where they drop. |

I've been to the point where I was paid per day and figures were the very last thing on my list to buy. |

To be fair , i jumped on Blassie and the Rude variant preorders pretty fast when i heard they were going up. Never knew Superstar went up at all myself. Not that I'm complaining, it goes that way sometimes. Hopefully he gets a second batch listed before release and i get a heads up. Lmao. Its worth paying RSC a few extra bucks to save me the headaches and frustrations at retail.
