^champ/ Yeetman. 15 bucks is very reasonable for HTM. I've met him so many times and have several items already signed so I'm going to pass.

Grandview Walmart in Vancouver is completely out of Elites.....so this could be a good sign.

Thanks! =) I hate to break it to you man but Vancouver is dry as hell if you're looking for newer stuff like Elite 34, Battlepacks and Basics. Most TRU's around have DM Razor now for $29.99 though. As for ML's, are you looking for newer ones or the older Toybiz ones?

Metrotown TRU and Lansdowne Mall TRU are both pretty good sources for newer ML figures at retail price. There are comic shops all around Vancouver that may carry a lot more, but obviously you'll be paying a premium for the figures. For comic shops that are actually in Vancouver, check out: RX Comics Golden Age Collectibles Comic Land Comics and Toys And if you're willing to take the seabus to get to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver, Big Pete's Collectibles is definitely worth checking out too.

I know it's not in Vancouver, but Toy Traders in Langley is worth the drive if you can get out. They are hands down the most amazing toy store I've ever seen. They're a little light on WWE stuff right now, but they have a whole aisle dedicated to Marvel jargon. Yo, Biff Slamkovich™...you been out to their new store yet? It's just unreal!!

scottydub, not yet bud. I only make the trip out there when I get a call for new Elite figures. Have they added any new displays since moving?

I feel like there's less intricate displays (ie Marvel Universe Skyscraper Battle) and more "Big Stuff" (life size Groot and Treebeard meet you at the door). They've combined Traders and Game Stars into one giant store of awesomeness!!

Okay, I'm about ready to file a complaint towards an employee at Metrotown TRU.
I went into Metro TRU a couple days ago looking for Elite 34 only to find two E34 Cena's. I was upset that I didn't find what I was looking for because of the long trip I had made to get there, but was relieved that E34 had at least hit. So I decided to talk to customer service in order to find out if there were more cases in the back, or at the very least find out when they would be expecting more. What happened next literally ****** me off.
The only person working customer service was a short skinny caucasian girl with brown hair. I didn't catch her name though which is why I'm not properly equipped to file a complaint. I politely asked if she was able to check for more E34 in the computer and this is how the conversation went:
Employee: "Yeah I'm the one who puts those wrestling figures out there, so I don't need to check. We don't have anymore." Me: "Oh.....okay....um well is there any chance you can check in the system to see if any are in transit? There's a specific figure I'm looking for and I've literally tried all over the city. It would be a great help." Employee: "I don't ever sell individual figures to adult collectors. You have to understand that there are little kids that come here to buy these figures, so it's not fair to them if scalpers are always buying them all up."
At that point, I was so shocked at what she said that I literally had no rebuttal. Not only was she accusing me of being a scalper, but she was also refusing me business on no legitimate grounds whatsoever. I never realized that a regular employee had the power to police who they choose to sell and not sell things to.
I ended up quickly leaving the store and only afterwards did I realize that this employee needs to have a complaint filed against her. I'm debating whether or not to go back and find out her name or to just call the store and speak with a manager. Never in my life have I been so embarrassed (there were other people behind me in line btw) and I think this person needs to have some sort of written warning from her supervisors. She was rude, judgmental and not helpful in any way.

^^Hollywood hogan North- complete BS I would have complained for sure. Very unprofessional.
A-Rob/ Kiphouse- I'm still on the fence for this event. I'm hoping for at least one or two names that I haven't met already. Del Rio or Taz would be cool.
Champ- thanks for posting that. I was always a huge fan of gangrel's character. He had the most bad ass entrance during the attitude era. Unfortunately I don't think I would drive that far to meet him. Hopefully he signed somewhere closer that weekend.

Day 1 of NFCC in the books and day 2 coming up.
Feels like a wasted con in some respects but nice to be on vacation.
