Hurray! I'll check Crossroads at lunch time. Are you looking for anything specific? Did you get any of the E20 stuff yet?

I got E20 Christian (2 of them actually lol) from Mattelshop. If you want my extra one, he's just chilling on my desk right now. I only got a second one because I needed to reach $25 for free shipping, and he was the best bang for the buck.
I kind of want Jericho or Cody Rhodes but I'm trying to curb my spending since I just bought an Elite Scale Ring off of eBay last week as well as a ton of figures in the last month. My fiance is already giving me the evil eye, the more time I spend on the forum... lol
Are there any Elite 20's you want?

ESR is dope...you set it up? And for E20 I got Cody and Santino, just need Jericho. Cody is great, Santino is kind of a let down, but worth it for the cobra sleeve.
I might go for more of the Flashbacks eventually. I mean if I could put the Hardys and Dudleys next to Edge and Christian I'd be sold.
To me, the Cody is one of the best in recent memory. I just hope they do another Jericho or at least a basic with an updated tattoo arm and a more serious face....
As for the E21 pics I'm torn. Ryback looks kinda weak. I'll get the adr for sure and probably Ry, but I'm on the fence as of now with current pics for Rey, Aj, and Honky. Definite no for Orton.
Really wanting that E14 hooded Taker though...

I haven't yet... will probably set it up tomorrow, or sometime this weekend.
I'll definitely get the Ryback, probably AJ too. I'll grab a HTM just because it's 1 per pack, likely use it to trade for something I really want. lol
I agree with the Hardys/Dudleys thing. That would be pretty sweet. Someone posted a sweet customs job of the Dudleys in the Customs board. You should check it out.
I passed on that Taker and Booker T so many times in the past. Wish I bought one when I found them, 'cause now I want the Booker T from that series pretty bad.

Nothing going on in Norman. They got some Rumblers in, maybe? Really small case of stuff, so I assume it's Rumblers.

Crossroads got a box of power slammers. They said there might be more on back. I'll check both again after work. So lame.

I saw it, but figured you didn't care about it since you got Sheamus. Those 3 figures are the remnants of the case that they got in when I got my Christian.

Oh right on. I think they were moved around from the end cap.
They did restock quite a bit of basics, but nothing special. I ended up getting Otunga, he's actually pretty cool for a basic. I decided that I'm going to get the basics that probably won't have any elites for a while or that aren't on the block...
Prime Time Players, Sandow, Cesaro, Ryback, etc.
Walmarts in Norman have nothing new...lots of old basics.
I am really annoyed with TRU right now. Right before a big sale they get NO stock. WTF?
Have you checked Quail at all? Thinking about maybe calling them before a trip at some point this weekend.

Quail Springs & Crossroads I consider Scalper Central, and it's a haul for me from Norman so I kind of avoid it (Quail, anyway) unless my friend wants to do a figure run, then I let him burn his gas (lol) and I just ride along.
Almost caved and bought Otunga myself at $8.99, but I'm more of an Elite guy. It's going to be hard for me to say no to the Sandow and Tensai basics when they hit retail locally. Really like the look of those figures.
I also almost caved and grabbed Sin Cara and Sheamus, but kept my wallet in my pocket. Really had to curb my figure spending lately, I was going crazy with the Kmart price matching and my tax return was dwindling way too fast for my liking. lol

I hear ya. Between comics, vinyl, and toys I probably spend too much. And don't get me started on how much I spoil my kids. My 4 year old son calls it "Toys For Us". Which is about right lol. But you know I'm blessed with a good job and everything gets paid and I always have extra so I figure why not enjoy it. But I too did go through a big splurge which will tone down over the next few months until E21 and such. Then I'm sure it will be all hectic again!

Got the Christian on TRU.com!!! Thanks HydroX!!!
Funny thing about it is I got my email alert for availability AFTER I completed the order.
They added E20 too but it's out of stock at the moment...set those alerts! I gotta get that Y2J!!!

No problem man! Next week is Buy 1, get 1 50% off ... hope these local stores restock, or the website gets more stock posted more than once. If they can secure stock, they pretty much have my money... which I'm not sure is a good thing right now. lol

I missed out on Jericho on TRU.com .. Checked Norman and Crossroads this morning, absolutely ghost town USA outside of the teddy series. Those three stray Johnny series are still at Norman if you want Cena or Sin Cara. I did pick up a Ninja Turtle figure for $6.99 though. Lol

My kids apparently lost two Ninja Turtles on Vaca last week so I need to replenish them.
I'm all caught up on the TRU Teddy Set and E20, and I even picked up the hooded E14 Taker on ebay for a cool $10.
KMart in Shawmpton has all of E17 in stock, thinking about getting Kelly Kelly but then I'd have to pull the trigger on all the divas...not sure I'm ready to take that on too lol. I did get the Brock/HHH Battlepack on sale for 16 at Kmart, did a quick headswap with Michael Cole series Elite HHH and have the ultimate HHH now.
Picked up basic Ryback and Cesaro at Target in Nompton...pulled the trigger on getting basics on 3 conditions: 1, if I need parts for a swap, 2, if they will never have an elite(like Otunga or PTP), or 3 if they do have an Elite on tap but I can't wait. (Ryback, Sandow).
Re-displayed my current-era collection this weekend, I'll have to take pics soon.
Basically all I'm looking for now is E21 and some basics (Sandow, Tensai, Prime Time Players).
And the following flashbacks: Diesel, Nash, King Booker
Might be interested in some of the older basics that never got an Elite(Knox, Dreamer, Benjamin) if anyone has any for sell or trade.
No more hounding the stores until the next BOPPV series or E21 hits! Hurray!!!

Wow, very nice on the Taker find. I saw those Rybacks and Cesaros and wanted to buy them but man, like I said, basics don't really tickle my fancy. Just can't get into them. More power to ya, lol.
I'm also chasing a King Booker, and flashback Edge.
I'm very tempted to pick up at least a set of TMNT figs. My son is too young for them but he likes watching the Nick cartoon with me so I'm wondering if he'll still have interest in a year or two .. plus the $7 price point (this week) is easier to digest than my apparent thirst of spending $18-$22 on Elites... lol

The TMNT stuff is fun. I've got my kids pretty much an entire set. My son and daughter both like turtles so it's a win. The Sewer playset is something I've been thinking about...it's so huge!
