So me and a few friends went out for the day to NYC. We all went into the TRU and me and my friend Brandon decided to go by the wrestling stuff. I get there and I remember years ago, when Toybiz made TNA figures, they were still by the WWE Jakks figures. When I got there, there were the mattel figures in the big WWE cube but NO JAKKS FIGURES to be found. I also saw that Elites were 18.99 Basics were 12.99 and a lot of other stuff was just 3 to 4 dollars more than my TRU in NJ. I was hoping to find some of the elite 5 but everything was Basics 4, Elite 2-4, 2 packs 4 and a bunch of rings and all Legends 1 figures. I also saw a giant NXT logo and it pissed me off, why? because NXT has no figures, no characters in the upcoming video game, no arena in there, not too many viewers nothing! only buyrate is the Nexus so I found that awkward. we then left there and my friend showed me something, there was a shelf out in the open by Candyland of all WWE TNA and UFC Jakks figures (not too mention they were the same retail price they originally were and UFC figures were 12.99) but what shocked me was a Jakks Cody Rhodes STANDING ON THE SHELF LOOSE!!!! now I know "no pics, no proof" but I don't have a camera on my phone.

Ummm, I don't know what to make out of your "fascinating story". Is it that they had an NXT sign in the WWE fig section? Or that you found an RA Rhodes that are still warming TRU shelves across the country?

Its fascinating what your definition of fascinating must be.  Nah, I'm kidding dude. That is strange that there was a loose Cody Rhodes just sitting there. They must've found it open and instead of throwing it away, decided to display it with the other stuff. Strange. |

Fascinating? I'd love to hear your take on the second coming of Jesus.
But I'm guessing the figure is now yours?

But I'm guessing the figure is now yours? well not quite, i went to just take it and they yelled at me and I was just like "but it's not in packaging and its just sitting there" and they were like "but this would be considered stealing sir, leave it!" |

The packaging for all the Jakks WWE leftovers and TNA figures has been shoddy in every TRU I've been in lately. No surprise that there was a lose figure. My TRU closest to home has had to use Scotch tape on several of the remaining Jakks figs.

Wade, Justin, and Otunga and NXT arena will be in DLC pack 2 SvR2011. The rest of NXTS1 (and Kaval) is rumored to be in DLC pack 3. oh ok that's good to know. I think that is a smart decision then. |

I've seen figures fall out of the packaging because the glue was really craptly applied to the card.

Did they still have all the clearance figures behind the UFC figs? I was there (assuming you mean the one in Times Square) about a month ago, and they had HEAPS of UFC and Jakks WWE figures in clearance for $3-$5.
