Greetings, it's so great to be posting from RIGHT HERE! in West Midlands, UK!!!!!

4/2/16

Found Then Now Forever Undertaker today, all on his own so I picked him up and nipped over to TRU when I got home to get another wm31 Taker so I could create this via a head & arms swap. With the hat on it reminds me of an updated version of the old Hasbro classic.

So my month off from collecting didn't go as planned. Lots of pick ups and today I received flashback Christian, wmh Taker & the Giant.









Now, I'm fairly sure dean is quite a bit bigger than Bo IRL so either Mattel have made dean too small or Bo too big. Some Jakks esque scale issues going on here.


Superstar Entrance Piper with the legends kilt.

Added a few more legends as Warrior was getting lonely




HOF Austin. Not much else needs to be said. Awesome figure, all I did was bulk out his goatee. Amazing figure.




E35 Orton & trips.




Really like this Lana fig, they have got her likeness absolutely spot on.




For some reason I adore these Uso figures, the detail, likeness and colours are all great.

Doh! Haha, your absolutely right growing up in rednal has confused me, I've only been in Oldbury about a year so it being in sandwell still isn't ingrained into my brain.

[qdogg]

Awesome setup there with some of the great recent additions to the line

[Deleted]

Awesome collection!

[Deleted]

Cheers guys!

Kind words for such a make shift set up and low quality photos but it still means a lot and makes it all very much worth it, especially with being a UK'er getting hold of some of them at decent prices.

I've just worked out that with the 3 I've got on the way that I've spent about £650 so far on 30 figures, that gives me about £21.66 on average per figure. I'm quite chuffed with that.

I freaking love this hobby though. So rewarding and gratifying.

Where do you buy from in the UK?

Smyths or eBay usually.

[Deleted]

Smyth's, TRU, eBay & blocked mainly.

a1 are ok on eBay but their website is rubbish, avoid amerchandise and wrestling world, they are pretty much scalpers.

Cool and neat collection

[poindizzle]

Very good looking collection. You will be amazed when you count the number you have in three more months, then three more. Before long you'll be in the almost 500 or more club like me.

Based on all the photos I keep seeing, I get the feeling I should have gotten the Rated R Edge when I had the chance. Hopefully they get another shipment.

Thanks for the nice comment! You should definitely get edge if you can, he is my second favourite figure in my collection
, he was first but......

1/5/15: e23 Taker added, plus a rearrangement.

[Deleted]

Very nice collection. I love the Warrior and I really want that COO HHH.

I too only started collecting in December last year - I only wanted the Elite Warrior and Trish... now I have way too many. I might try and post a picture later. Do you do most of your hunting at TRU Oldbury? I've had some decent luck in there although it can be a bit random.

[Deleted]

Cheers!

Pretty much split between Smyth's and TRU in Oldbury for new releases. I'm in the fortunate position of living about a five minute walk between the two.

You local too?

[Deleted]

Lukcky you! I'm not too far, I'm in Quinton. How far a walk is the Smyths from the TRU? I've never been there. I normally order from Smyths online. By the way do you mind me asking how much did the COO HHH cost you?

[Deleted]

£15.99 in the battle pack with D Bry at Smyths. Think most people assume it's a basic so pass on it.

I can nearly see Smyth's from my bedroom, it's in the retail park opposite the Sainsbury's.

[Deleted]

Wow, I really didnt think that was the one out of that battlepack. I might have to pick that up... although I already have 3 Bryans.

[Deleted]

New updates added as of yesterday, just awaiting HOF stone cold to arrive now.

The missus is getting more worried the closer I get to 50

[SteveHulk]

Cool collection - I go to the Oldbury Smyths sometimes... a couple of the guys who work there are big wrestling fans too. I'd love to have a Smyths or TRU right next to me (...so jealous, lol!).
