Are Tapu Leles worth it to buy right now? Or should we be waiting for the prices to drop?
The price will only drop if they get a reprint or outright replaced (which is completely unknown but probably not going to happen just look at Shaymin EX). The price is going to jump when GRI goes out of print as well.Are Tapu Leles worth it to buy right now? Or should we be waiting for the prices to drop?

I only really play at my local league and destroy my friends but other than that i dont play super competitiveWhat are you plans for playing?
If you're rarely attending anything more demanding than Pokémon League and you don't fancy yourself a very competitive play, then it isn't worth it. If you're trying to win at least some medium level events (or consistantly win smaller events), it is worth it.
If you are a competitive player but you're still mostly using it with Pokémon League and/or when playing with friends, consider how often you'd use it. Barring a surprise reprint or replacement for it, the investment will likely pay for itself within a year or two at most.

This is the deck list i was going to useThen you might be okay taking your chances.
Yeah I created a Trade thread on the trades forum for a leleFor casual matches, you could use a proxy card. Pick a card that you wouldn't use in your deck (when I proxied Leles I chose a fairy energy, because Pink...even though Lele-GX is Psychic) and have the card printed off on the sidelines. Local non-POP people may accept it as well, but you should run that by whoever is running the event. Anything following POP rules won't allow proxies. as they're considered fake cards.
That being said, if you have a few money cards that you don't plan on using and don't particularly want, it's very worthwhile to trade up to a legit Lele.

I don't care to buy 1 Lele and 1 Shaymin for a deck but when a Deck calls for 2-4 Tapu Leles its where I have to draw the line lolIn all honesty if people are concerned about the price they shouldn't buy them. There are decks you can run without a Lele that still achieve success.
It's the same with Shaymin back in the day. If everyone who reluctantly bought a couple of Lele/Shaymin for a deck decided to build decks that didn't need them instead the prices wouldn't be so high.
The whole price spike thing is caused by people being greedy and other people buying into it. And TPCi realises this and won't give anything resembling a reprint until it rotates out because they know they'll make more off people buying boosters/boxes as opposed to a "collection".
