Today's New Old Pickups

[crush]

I've stated before how I've struck gold at the Toyzam at the Staten Island mall several times (RRH HBK, E16 Punk and Diesel) so I always stop in there on my break at work even though they've had nothing but Cena Rumblrs lately. Walked in today and found a fresh case of Battle Packs 18 on the floor. Not the rarest figures in the world, but I'd only ever seen them at retail once before, and didn't see Punk/HHH that time.





I was a bit hesitant to pick up the Punk/Hunter pack, but I gave in and I'm happy I did. While the Punk isn't amazing, I like the red. Besides, I'm all about getting as many Punks as I can, so I wasn't going to pass one up at retail. I had zero interest in a buying a Mattel Triple H (except a DX 97-99 Flashback) until I bought the WM26 HBK a few weeks ago, and started wanting a modern Hunter to go with him on the shelf. Granted, there are better ones, but this one will fill that role fine.


I had seen the Ziggler/Ryder 2-pack at retail previously and regretted not buying it. At the time, I wasn't impressed with the purple Ryder attire and would rather an elite Ziggler. I've warmed up to the Ryder a bit, and I wanted to add a colorful attire of him to my shel to offset the black basic 24 figure.


I've totally fallen in love with this Ziggler figure. I know it's a bit outdated, but I love the black and white attire, and how the pink "Show Off" pops off the tights. While I still want an Elite DZ for sure, this one is definitely a good first Dolph to have.

Thanks for checking out the thread, and I leave you guys with this:

Nice pickups. I like the cm punk/triple h pack.

Actually had to expand my collection from one shelf to two with these additions:


Divided the shelves into active and legends (give or take a couple of exceptions)


The Legends shelf is a bit sparse.


The current shelf fills out a bit better.

Wow! Your fig collection looks great man! You have some cool stuff in there that caught my eye like the Jericho and the mini championship! Good stuff boss!

Battle packs 18 is my favourite set so far, all 6 figures were brilliant. I especially loved that dolph Ziggler, the attire and headscan are great.

I actually forgot to include the best part. The store was having a massive sale, got both BP's for less than $40.00.

Who is the third pack in this set? Barrett and Orton?
