Yes... I know I said I'd never collect again after I got the recent CS Brian Pillman, but I recently made my once-a-year visit to see some old college friends. They had a surprise for me. We drove to the Independence Mall in Kingston, MA. Before I knew it, we wandered into the ProFigures collectibles shop. I was floored. I'd heard of them, but didn't realize they had a brick-and-mortar location. It was every rare and exclusive figure I'd always heard about - all in one place. After we looked around a bit, they revealed that in honor of my upcoming 30th birthday (Sept. 25th), the two of them each, would buy me anything I wanted. My mind went into overdrive, as the nice owner kept checking to see if he had anything I could remember I'd passed up in the past. I finally settled on the Wizard Exclusive 1 of 3000 Undertaker and the Hart Foundation 2-Pack (pink "limited edition" labeled package). After my friends paid, we stood chatting with the owner about the state of WWE today. All in all, my friends made my day. Pics are below. Dumb question...did I make good choices?   The flash was screwy on my cam. These were the best shots. One last question... I'm flying home on Tuesday, and came with one small carry-on bag I filled to capacity and fit in the overhead. Do you suppose I could carry on these things in the shopping bag, underneath my seat? Thanks in advance. And thanks for reading. |

I do not think you made a bad choice by any means Zig, those are some great figuers my man. The only way you made a " Bad choice" is if they had anything more desireabal to you and you find your self wishing you got that instead. At the end of the day it's about what you like that matters. |

One carry on bag and one personal bag. So you should be safe.

King J - Yes, you're right. They told me not to rush, and I took my time in there. The UT is my first "1 of [whatever #]" in my collection.
Patrick - Thanks for the extra confirmation.

Off the top of my head, they had a Rey Camo exclusive, Dusty Polka Dot exclusive, Mick Foley exclusive, Hulk/Andre UK exclusive (my friend offered that, but I'm not a Hogan fan) and a little bit of every series (CS, AD and RA) going back a ways. I even found a random BCA or two. The boxed exclusives are much smaller than I thought they'd be. Funny little aside - My friend Jay asked the owner if he had Bobby Heenan in stock. The dude chuckled and said - "Oh, I suppose you want him in a weasel suit too?!" The WF member in me cracked up at that. Jay then told us how he dressed up as Heenan for Halloween at age eight, and was picked on for liking a "bad guy" |

See, I track down 1 in 500's I was lucky enough for find one in the store of Edge who happens to be a personal favriote of mine... Iam in the market for Flair as well... 24 7 1in 500 whatever. I dont collect for the hell of it, I collect wrestlers I like so, as long as you like UT and the Harts, good job lol |
