Rule of thumb is if there’s a figure you want then don’t sleep on it. Grab it as soon as you see it. If it’s on backorder, you have to have the expectations that they may not get any restock so if it’s in stock elsewhere then get it. Worse case scenario you have an extra that you can easily sell to someone else at cost or profit. Can’t blame Mattel on this one. There was plenty opportunity to get it.

All over the Bay. If you can't afford $10-$20 more than retail for this figure that you obviously want, maybe collecting isn't for you. Or, just don't get beer or cigarettes this week. Don't go to the movies this week. That thing you usually do/buy each week? Don't. It's VERY easy to make up the extra cash you need to get a figure you want.

I definitely don't blame Mattel. It is my own fault for missing the first Ringside preorder, but then I immediately preordered it from another site thinking that they would get it in stock as promised. That was months ago. It was never on backorder, so either that site never stocked the figure or they oversold preorders. But you make a good point about ordering from multiple places and worst case scenario you have an extra to sell. I think the lesson I learned here is not to trust sites other than Ringside. |

A $300-$400 figure gets rereleased (a figure related miracle) and you can't preorder from Ringside for a slight premium price of $30 ish to save a bit of money buying it in store? I have no sympathy for that.
You can get it on eBay right now for around $60ish. Either get it now or never. Playing the waiting game for retail in 2023 is absolutely absurd.

I don’t think I would have made that assumption. Hope you’re able to get him eventually though.

You should read the Jazwares board. It's like the late 90s over there. |

No I can slightly blame Mattel on this one. What the hell is the point of the Greatest Hits line if the Greatest Hits figures are also going to be limited? I fail to see how this doesn't defeat the purpose of the entire line. "Hey we're sorry this item was really hard to find at the time, here's another version that will be really hard to find!" Say what you want about it being available on Ringside, figures not getting legitimate retail runs is for the birds. Stuff like this makes the hobby infinitely less enjoyable.

Some of you are realllllllly going to hate life in 10 years when almost all toy aisles will be reduced to nothing. Target and Wal-mart barely cling to life now. And I'm 48. I used to go to TRU religiously. Now I only check the Target toys when I'm at Target to get something else. Some of you need to catch up with the times lol. It's cute to read though. Like ... random guy from like, North Platte Nebraska gets peeved at the toy game because his one Wal-mart doesn't have a massive stock of WWE figures on the shelves.  |

Greatest Hits 2 weren't packed in the Summerslam shippers as far as I know. I never saw any and I never heard about anyone else finding any in the shipper. I have found GH 2 twice in stores, both times they were on the regular elite pegs, and both times Harley Race was the only one gone. I have 2 preordered from EE, so hopefully they don't get canceled and will arrive later this month as scheduled. Same place I ordered from. Good luck - let us know if you get them! Mine just got cancelled. Hopefully you have better luck! |

I grabbed him off RSC early on but I actually did see him at Walmart in that frankly comedically large endcap they got in a bit back. I was just there again yesterday, they have an utterly absurd number of figures left from the shipper plus a dozen pegs of basics a full shelf of Seth/Andre and eddie/Rey UEs and them a couple mismatched elites in the aisle itself. I have no idea who is going to buy all these figures but someone could probably make a killing on secondary with the RA Exclusives alone.

He's 35 shipped on multiple listings on the Bay. You had your chance on Ringside for a long time. It's at other places for retail, plus shipping. If you miss out, it's on you dude.

More people started finding them. |

Please direct me to this places because I can’t seem to find them, nor do I see these listings on the bay you speak of |

I got one from another site a month or two back, so I'm good. Just moments ago I saw the Summerslam sidecap at my nearest Walmart, stocked with GH 2. I could see one of each fig besides Race just looking at it, but decided to poke through. Wouldn't you know it, there was indeed a lone Harley behind a DDP. I almost grabbed it, but left it for someone who needs it.

Was 26$ on ringside for a while, u can't wait for these which is almost 40 dollars including shipping which is almost double the price of what it should be "but wait if you order 60 dollars of figures its free shipping." Hate to break it to everyone most don't have 60 a month to spend on dolls |
