^Thanks for that, as well as the Bret Hart signing. I'm probably going to pass on both events. Orillia is too far for Jarrett, Duggan and DH Smith. I've already met the three, so no big loss. Same thing with Bret Hart. I've met him twice already. The first time I met him, I only had to pay $5 which would go to the March of Dimes. The second time I met him, it was at a film taping (like yeetman13 mentioned before) I got a few autographs for free that day.

Went to tru in Pickering and grabbed an extra Bruno. Lunchbox- I saw what you were talking about. There were at least 50 elite 25 figures on the shelf. Unfortunately I also saw this. I don't understand why people do this. To make it worse it's not even close! Stone cold in a Daniel Bryan pack?? Yeah that was such a simultaneously funny and upsetting sight. Stone Cold in a D-Bryan Elite box. Horrible. Anyway, as for Elite 25, after looking at it again and doing some mental math, honestly I estimate about 80+ Elite 25 figures. Why would ONE Toys R Us location have over 80 of one series all at once?! (JHTB - I looked again: they're ALL Elite 25. 100% for sure.)

Man, there are tons of signing and conventions coming up over the next few months. Going to be busy and expensive.

Orillia is way too far to travel for that one. I already met Duggan before and Jarrett and D.H. ain't worth it to go that far to meet them. If it were closer, I'd go but it's not, so I'll pass. Thanks for the heads-up anyway.

I looked pretty closely and I'm pretty sure they are all elite 25.

its crazy that i can look at all of these figures that Mattel puts how, and actually not really like any of them. I just dont think they make that accurate or good quality figure.

Have you ever held one? Thr quality is incomparable to Jakks! The details are spot on! The only thing you can really complain about their figures are their head scans. And most of them are amazing too! Just look at E24 Miz scan!

^ ya ive had them... quality based on what? quality compared to jakks? yes its obviously better than jakks... but the sizes between muscular vs. non-muscular guys are going... head scans arent too good, and why do you need to be able to move every darn part of a figure? i dont need to bend his wrists and ankles and such.. seems stupid...

Warden and Eglinton wal mart has all of basic 36 and all of the new 12 inch line if anyone needs them. Also here are pics of what I got in the mail yesterday. Got the taker exclusive and display stands from rsc. I can't stress how awesome this taker figure is. Also got the Wyatt mask from wweshop. Ugh.. I was there two days ago and they only had a Swagger. Went to the STC Wal-Mart where they had all of them except for Kaitlyn. I found Fandango, price checked it, then for some reason I decided to go into a different aisle to go back to the wrestling section. To my surprise, they had a secret stash of B36 with Big E. They were back at $15.92, but I figured that I'd buy them and then get a price adjustment at a different Wal-Mart that still has them at $10. After, I went to the Cedarbrae Wal-Mart where the tags were still $10. Tried to get a price adjustment, but the customer service lady was telling me that the UPCs don't match the $10 price tag. I had explained that they only take a random wrestler and use the barcode on that one, even though each wrestler has a different UPC. The customer service lady understood and knew what I meant, but since the UPCs don't match, she had to speak to the manager. I had told the manager the same thing and he told me that he can't do a price adjustment because the UPCs are different. I then told him that "they only used one UPC for all six of the wrestlers, so does that mean only one of the wrestlers applies to that price?" he then responded that they were put in a different spot. Probably gonna try another Wal-Mart sometime. If I can't get them at $10, I'm returning them.. I don't want to spend $18 for one figure. Oh, and on a side note... The Physics exam was brutal

^^^^^^^^^ Champ- I was at cedarbrae today. We could have met up for the card. lol. Warden has all of basic 36 but I noticed they raised the price as well. JHTB , Yeetman- sorry yeetman I have to side with JHTB on this one. lol. . I think mattel does an awesome job. Especially on the flashbacks. Only criticism towards mattel from me is that they don't have as large as a selection as jakks did. I'm surprised you don't collect more flashbacks as I know you are into the oldschool stuff. If anyone needs them, there are two wwe rings (raw and smack down) at the value village at golf club road. In pretty sure these are the jakks versions.

I was actually thinking about you, but I didn't have it with me as I went straight from school.
