Hey guys,
I thought I would share some pics of stuff that I've received lately, after a long dry spell of not purchasing any new current Jakks figures. Prior to this, I believe my last new receivings (Christmas gifts, actually) were RA36 Kofi Kingston and CS21 Jesse Ventura. I've mostly collected BNB and, of course, BCA since then, but I felt like I wanted to update my collection of RAs even if they had been put on the backburner for me a while ago.
Needless to say, I've spent a lot more than I thought I would in the last week or two, but I'm happy with everything I bought, so I guess that's what matters most.
First off, I bought the following two 2-packs using old TRU gift cards online, and I'm still contemplating whether I want to buy the other sets from AD36 soon. Chavo/Matt was a needed upgrade as my last current RAs of either dates back over 4 years ago. I wasn't a fan of Kendrick's new head sculpt at first, but it looks much better in person, in my opinion; I think it's the size of it that may turn others off, but it is still a great likeness.
Next, I bought these three sets from an eBay seller recently, altogether, for $28 shipped. The two Adrenaline sets are ones that I never got around to buying when they were first in stores, and the CS 3-pack is one I've held off buying for the longest time. AD32 Jesse/Festus is such a great 2-pack and what a shame it is that the Fabulous Freebirds set is valued so little, as it is a quality set from top-to-bottom (or left-to-right, if you will).
I made a fairly big order from spam's $5 Jakks sale, too, lately and was glad to add these mix of eight figures to my collection for only $48 shipped, or $6 each. Their packing isn't the best and is rather sloppy, but you can't beat a good deal like that.
Also, I didn't originally intend on doing this, but I decided to keep the Kaufman MOC (as it is one of few that wasn't damaged upon arrival) to display alongside my autographed CS8 Jerry Lawler from Ringside Fest '05 (and random CS1 Andre the Giant).
Finally, I received my order from RSC just this morning after it only took LESS THAN A DAY to ship using regular UPS Ground, so easily the best service I've encountered with my recent online buys. The same can be said for AD34 Dreamer as I spoke of AD36 Kendrick earlier in this post; the head sculpt looks much better in person, and is a great likeness, too. And, what hasn't been said about RA39 that hasn't already been said? Great overall set (...I'm sure that's been said
).
As far as I'm concerned, this most recent RA singles set is one of the best in years from Jakks Pacific, so I'm glad I decided to buy the full set online instead of waiting to find them in stores near me. I would do the same with RA40, but I'm not as interested in buying 'Taker, Hardy and Orton. I really want the other three in that particular set, though, as well as several other current RAs if I choose to continue updating my collection.
Here's a group shot of everything I bought:
Well, that's it for now, but thanks for looking and have a nice day!
Oh, and if anyone wants to see any detailed loose pics of anything I bought, just let me know.
