Friday, June 16th-
Walpole, MA:
Wal-Mart
AD 18:
Nitro/Animal x2
Cade/Murdoch x2
Lashley/OJ x1
I bought the only Lashley/OJ 2-pk they had because I'm starting to really like Lashley and I figured that if I didn't buy him now, then I might not ever come across it again. Plus, I only had enough cash for one 2-pk.
Saturday, June 17th -
Walpole, MA:
Walpole Mall
AD 18:
*ALL* 2x of each, except Lashley/OJ
I bought two Nitro/Animal packs and another Lashley/OJ. I'm going to use one Animal as his "Road Warrior" heel gimmick with the vest on, and one to display with my LOD Heidenreich with CS 9 Animal's shoulder pads on him. And I'm going to try and get a hold of a spare AD 16 Nitro head so I can make a pair of MNM in their blue metro pants. Haha. I love the blue better than the white, so I might just use my AD 16 Mercury, but I dunno, it's their rookie figures so that makes it kinda tough for me to do.
They also had the new Backlash figures, but they're just so crappy looking. Why does Jakks even produce these ones? They could just save money and put that towards improving RA figures. I saw how Murdoch's vest was only painted on the front, well, if they stopped producing these stupid Backlash bca/ttl figures, they could use the money they save and use it to make fully detailed RA figures. I don't even know if they profit off of the Backlash ones. Or they might just make them for people or kids who can't afford to buy the RA's or Deluxe or CS figures and look for something cheap and affordable.
They also had new SA rings, exclusive to Kane and Undertaker (I think).. just like the ones at Target exclusive to Piper, Carlito and Cena.
Toys R' Us
Bellingham, MA
CSTT 4:
- Blassie/Hogan x2
- Slaughter/Sheik x3 or 4 (This seems to be the shelf warmer of the set. I really wanted to buy the Taker/Bearer one because it's the best old school Taker out there and I prefer that Bearer over the two CS 9 ones varient included)
Trecherous Trio's w/ JBL's Cabinet (OJ in ring gear & Bashams in street clothes) and Taker/Bob Orton/Randy Orton.
Wrestlemania 2-pks Series #2:
- Kane/Big Show (BOUGHT 1, even though I have AD 15. I bought it mainly for Big Show.)
- Conway/Tomko (BOUGHT 1, I didn't have either of them yet and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get two awesome jobbers/mid-carders, and they are both excellent figures, so I bought it.)
- Edge/Hardy
- Rey/Hardy (Hardy looked cool, but I didn't need another Rey. Plus Jakks always seems to half-ass Hardy's camo pants.)
So this week I bought all of these figures:
- AD 18 Lashley/OJ (x2)
- AD 18 Nitro/Animal (x2)
- AD 18 Cade/Murdoch
- RA 19 Ken Kennedy
- RA 19 Chris Beniot
- CS 10 (it came in the mail from RSC the Saturday before ONS)
- AD 17 Mexicools
- RTWM22 Ser. #2 Kane/Big Show
- RTWM22 Ser. #2 Conway/Tomko
- RTWM22 Ser. #2 John Cena in black jean shorts w/ Chain Gaing logo on the bottom left of his pants w/ no chain gang headband around his bicep.)
Soo yeah, this week has been the biggest ever wrestling figure-wise for me. I'm extremely grateful that I could buy all of these, and I do feel a little guilty, but I just started my new job two weeks ago working for the town and school dept., and I make around $800 every two weeks (I get paid every two weeks), and I just put $1500 in my savings account which I got from relatives at my graduation party. Yeah, I also graduated high school on June 4th. Heh. And I also cleaned my entire house from top to bottom before my mom left for Canada with her boyfriend (I couldn't go because I had to work), because I didnt want the house to be a giant mess before she left. Now my brother is back from his summer vaca. to Italy and he came back with mono somehow and when I'm not at work, I'm cleaning up after him and making sure he has everything he needs.
