Well yesterday I had a job interview to be at. I knew that I would pass a Wal Mart on the way there, and Said, "Why not?" So, I stopped, I had time. They had Legends Warrior and Demolition. But I passed. Something told me to hold off. Got to my interview, Everything went great. Just making this story even better, cause I GOT THE JOB! After I left I figured TRU was only 3 miles from the mall, so I went on my merry toy hunting way. This is were I may get some heat, But at the Town Center TRU, they had a fresh case of L3. One Rock, One Vader, one of everyone. I had the Rock and Vader in hand, and started walking towards the register, then It hit me. "Im a Basic collector! I could get 3 for this price, Just Hold off man, Something better is out there!" I put them back, It was hard, but walked out of TRU with nothing, and somehow my head held high ( on the inside)... Then I realized, "Hey, there's a Target here!" So i tore ass to the other side of the Town Center, To target, and speed walked to the toy section. And BAMMMMM.... A fresh case of Basic 9 Baby. And I found the golden egg of the set. Jack Swagger... hahaha No, I did get him, But I found Natalya!!! Here"s pics of my pic ups, and my little over a week collection! Moral of the story.... Being patient really gets you somewhere! My hopes where up, and ended with a Amazing figure. Thank you Mattel for such a awesome product. You have made a permanent consumer in me.

Congrats on having such a great day dude. I still can't find series 9, but I'm glad someone did.

I'm happy for your fortune, and that was a good knock on Swagger.
I really like the ring the best though, cool blue and black color scheme.

That Natalya is sweet, I have been looking for it. My Target has series 9 every figure but they don't have Natalya.

Nattie is an elite in my eyes, I know she's in the basic series but every diva is elite.
