New Pickups! :D

[cocacolabottle]

Elite Series 1 Edge, Series 8 Edge, Series 5 Chavo, Series 5 Kozlov, Series 13 Dolph. Plus my British imports store finally managed to get a case of Kinder Sticks pasts customs and I bought the entire thing for $85. Well worth it. Who knows when they might get in more so I saw my chance and took it.

I hit up TRU and K-Mart and this is what I managed to get thus far. I am also hitting up Wal-Mart and Walgreens later tonight and I hope to get lucky.

Best pick up was the Kozlov. I miss him. I just love the powerful Russian gimmick and he had that star factor. No idea why the WWE let him go.

To be honest I don't care for Chavo but after hearing that he was hard to replace last night and knowing that he was shelf warming at my TRU for forever I figured he might make decent trading fodder. Dolph Ziggler is warming up on me and he is starting a programme with Jericho who is an all-time favorite and the figure has a title belt so I figured it couldn't hurt to pick up the last one my TRU had. Edge is a great superstar but not a must have for me and yet I have managed to get three different Elite versions of him.

Went to Wal-Mart and picked up Zack Ryder. They also had Miz, Mark Henry and Mysterio which I passed on.

Really? I got the last Chavo collecting dust in my part of the woods and Ziggler was a borderline shelfwarmer. Ziggler has been sitting at TRU for a few months now. Have your stores just not restocked yet? I had my TRU check the back for Series 15 & 16 but they don't even have 14 yet and no way of knowing what they will be shipped or when. I was just told that shipments come in on wednesdays and fridays so I will be stalking my TRU for new shipments because so help me that Kevin Nash and or Diesel will be mine. Yoko too if I can find him. Since the lone cashier was busy helping over seven people and doing the job of everyone who should have been helping customers I got to take a look at the inventory list in the TRU computer when her back was turned for a few minutes and I saw the most discouraging thing ever. They have 17 legends figures, none of which are Mr. Perfect, and over 34 more Flex Force figures.

No more Elites of any kind and what is on my shelves are all that they honestly have because they called a guy from the back who knew what he was doing and he looked for a solid twenty minutes and came back with nothing for me but I shall not lose heart. The joy of collecting is in the hunt after all.

I did notice that all of the Elite John Cena figures at my TRU were marked down to $15 each so they are trying to push them out at least.

Are Defining Moments Rock & Stone Cold HTF at all? What about Entrance Greats Shawn Michaels? My TRU still has several of them and I think they may go on clearance.

My TRU has one more left if you get desperate. Happy to pick it up and ship it out for shelf price ( Maybe cheaper if they have a sale. ) + shipping.

Nice pickups. That Ziggler is pretty sweet.

I found a micheals at Ross. At a store called Burlington I found rocky and stone cold.
My tru always has the millions of cenas, ortons, and Rey's. Thats why they never restock.
Also do you live in England or another country because I've read you saying that.
I'm surprised England gets better figures than me

My would have been ex-stepfather is from England and is the father of my youngest half siblings. I have no full blooded siblings but we were raised together and we always considered each other whole siblings. Anywho my Mom, eldest brother and his wife, and my youngest two siblings have been to England. I have never had the chance but the country is slowly growing on me although Japan will always be the one that owns my heart.
