It's not about the 2-3 dollars itself, but the principle. Someone died, and RSC chose to make some extra money from it. I think it's low class. My opinion. Well it’s all “extra money”. Considering they inflate every price of every item they order, to make a profit. This also depends on the case breakdown. Since it’s about the principle, for the sake of discussion, what should the cost of it been?
They should have priced Bray the same as the other highest-price figure.

Should be the exact title his Legends 10 figure came with. Going by the pictures, it looks shiny. The original release had dull plates, not that that means anything because they fixed the belt with WrestleMania 31 Rollins They made a dull silver plated tag belt? |

So the unreleased figure should’ve been the same price as the re-release figures? Hmm. Okie dokie. |

Ringside is not paying mattel 22.99 per figure they receive, they get a bulk discount. Ringside is just cashing in on their "overnight shipping" surcharge that mostly nobody cares for. |

Correct, Bray being the highest price of the set is a bad look regarding of case breakdown, released not released etc. It makes me not want to give them my money and take my money elsewhere. They lose a customer because of this. |

No. It’s a figure that was (until now) unreleased, making it more sought after in the set. Hence why Harley was more sought after in Series 1. Many collectors own the others and don’t need the re-releases. Even everyone’s precious “other option” has it listed as *gasp* $2 more than all of the other figures in the set. Actually increasing it $1 since it was originally listed, if I’m not mistaken. No problem ordering from them though. 🤣 Never change, WFigs. Haha |

However, the "other option" offers 25% off all preoders for the first 48 hours every month, plus they have a rewards system giving back to the customers. If you jumped on Bray when he went up, he came to $20.99 before shipping. |

That pardons them from charging more for a Bray Wyatt figure than the others in the set, yet chastise RSC for it? 🤣🤣 Never. Change. WFigs. |

Then don’t buy it from them. You guys get so worked up about nothing. It’s business. It’s capitalism. Go be disgusted about something that matters. More specifically RS is a niche hobby store. That’s how they make money is knowing the market on figures. First time in the line more expensive than others. Figure that was sought after gets rereleased, more expensive. Best Buy could sell cds cheaper than other stores because they made money on appliances. RS isn’t selling fridges… |

Edit: and to be fair, I wasn't complaining about the prices. I was sharing facts. |

If the referee Muhammad Ali was released as a Basic first, people will be crying that it shouldve been an Ultimate or Elite. And the thing is, not everyone can afford an Ultimate 2-pack. Or maybe they just don’t have a need for two Ali figures, or a boxer Ali figure. The Basic line offering worthy alternatives to the more expensive lines is something I never thought we’d get again. It’s a win for everyone. Looking forward to Basic versions of Rip and Zeus as well. |

Is it also disgusting when someone gets fired and their figures sell for Pennie’s? It goes both ways. Some plastic is more sought after than other plastic.

Did it ever occur to anyone that the price possibly due to him being short packed in the series? Doesn't ringside typically charge more for the short packed of the set?
I don't know the case breakdown so could be wrong.
