^^ I'm confused why TRU has the three together for the same price of $75. I figured they would discount the price. They're just trying to move all the Kamala's and Magnums from sitting on the shelf. If they listed them for $65 they would move pretty quickly I think

It's such a great set but seems to be moving slowly. Especially Magnum. Considering that's his first ever and likely only figure he will ever have.

Considering that's his first ever and likely only figure he will ever have. How many have even heard of Magnum TA, he was around only very briefly after his career was cut short due to injury. I started watching WWF wrestling back in the 80s golden era and I had never heard of him until I became a member here and read the discussions that people were having about him. Anyone else find it strange that all 3 retailers (TRU, Walmart, Amazon.ca) are selling this same set and started selling it around the same time?! Do they just buy stuff from the Mattel warehouse without knowing what product is being sent to them?! I just think it would have been better if they carried different series, this would ensure that existing stock would sell and they could then bring in new product. Now with all three selling the legends set its going to be a while before they sell off their existing stock, these distribution issues need to be dealt with or else all we are going to see in Canada is the TRU exclusive elites and nothing from the main line.

This resonates with me. I heard about Magnum on Flair's podcast and decided to watch some old matches. I don't understand the hype at all. He was a puncher and had (to me) boring matches. I love collecting older figures but I have zero interest in Magnum.

Just a heads up, I ordered from Ringside on Amazon US and am getting charged the taxes/customs. Never was an issue before, not sure why it is now.

I ordered from them recently, and I was charged import fees and taxes at checkout. I have ordered from Amazon for over a year now and have always been charged import fees so I dunno.

I started with a few and have about 80 now. The best time to get them is when hot topic has the BOGO sales.

I wanted to post a pic yesterday but i hated how they kept turning out so the pic isn't that great. In other news my NXT Takeover: Orlando Tickets came in the mail yesterday. Yay hard copy tickets!

Does anyone know what's in stock at Toys Toys Toys in the Eaton Center? I went to the Fairview location and it was pretty crappy. Same wal mart elites for 15 bucks more than retail.

Although I had no idea they had a second location! Last time I was in the Eaton location I saw surfer sting and ultimate maniacs warrior from memory

Seeing that new 3 pack of Luger, Savage and Sting being out in the USA at the Walmart stores is just depressing me.
It just seems to get tougher and tougher to be a Canadian and to collect wrestling figures. Sure, we could order all that stuff online, but with shipping and exchange it just seems to end up costing way too much for us.
It almost makes me want to just skim down my collection to just the necessities and then not have to worry about anything new that is only USA exclusive only it seems.
