Had some luck today down over the border. Found Elite 30 Batista, Battle Pack Los Matadores and SWB Boba Fett. Also picked up some figs I'd ordered online/won off ebay (filled some holes in my TNA Toybiz and TNA Jakks collections). Felt like a fruitful day of hunting.

This dry spell has been lame. Honestly Targets around me still have old ass Battle Packs like Dolph/Vickie clogging the shelves and TRU's are stocked with HHH's, and endless, endless amounts of Basic BaF's. I noticed some rings and flex force stuff finally made it to clearance, so hopefully that means they're prepping to clear shelf space for newer WWE stuff and not reducing the amount of what WWE stuff they carry... My brain melted when I was walking through my local Target had all of B39 sitting in an overstock cart (none of which actually got put out btw despite empty shelves) So I grabbed Bray, RVD and Heath Slater... The card on Justin Gabriel was super ed up too or I would've grabbed it too.

There's a couple places I use...Ship Happens and Pick It Up. Both charge $3 per package. Love shipping and receiving companies, saves me a LOT on shipping and importing fees. It is always funny explaining to the customs officer about figure trading though...they look at you like you're from some other planet.

Hey scotty, what other Elite's did you see down in the states besides E31 Batista?

Both Fred Meyers had a good selection of Elite 29, Target had all of Elite 30 except LOD, and Walmart and K-Mart were a mixed bag of older Elites (not a great selection).

Careful. This can backfire on you. If found hiding stuff it can cause you a world of nightmares in the future.

^ i dont hide anything i purchase from stores or things like that.. but stuff i got off ebay, there is no way they can prove i got it from there or anything.. and its mostly old wrestling stuff (i dont buy the current stuff) so i just say its from garage sale, thrift store, pawn shop, etc.. if they were to ask.. never had them ask before...
if i were buying new current packaging items, then id tell them.

I broke down and ordered Elite 29 Punk, Harper, and Rowan off the american amazon.com. With Shipping and export fees, the total was less than what i would've paid if they showed up in Canadian TRUs

The bottom of the picture got cut off but the bottom just repeated the address and mentioned that it was $15 for autographs/photos. It's actually Smith Hart that's bringing wrestlers to Woodbridge Heroes. I am so going to this signing since Hurricane was one of my favorites back a decade ago. I remember i was so happy when I got his 1st figure when it came out. thanks for posting champ!

I already met The Hurricane years ago when he appeared at The Future Shop on Mavis Road in Mississauga, so I doubt I will be going to this one.

So I went back to my Target because I was considering caving if they had put anymore of the B39 that I saw earlier and they had. They had put out 2 Cena's, a Christian, a RVD and a Heath Slater. If they had put Gabriel out I would have probably picked up Christian and Cena but I didn't really want to drop the ridiculous $15.99 for them -_-
So instead I splurged elsewhere. While still at Target I picked up Bayonetta 2 and Fantasia and it turned out they were having a 10% off promotion almost anything in store... that made me think about going and picking those figs up but I still passed.
Then I went to HMV and picked up The Purge: Anarchy and Ozzy Osbourne's Memoirs of a Madman. I also ordered a bunch of stuff from RSC because I'm getting mighty sick of how hard it is to get back into collecting with the poor selection in Edmonton. I'll post that when I get it which will be a while because one of the items was backordered til Early-Mid November

It's the only way our wrestling collections can survive these long droughts of empty pegs!!

AJ is coming in the second wave. Macho Man was the second wave in the last set, so if its like last time, we probably won't be seeing AJ

Thanks JHTB and Champ. I got macho recently from another a member in the states. But I wouldn't mind another one to open up. Also I want Aj as well. The four that I saw today were ok. Nothing special. I may grab Ziggler at some point. I also met Morrison and demar derozan today. Will post pics ASAP.
