Hey fellow collectors,
We went out today looking around at various places, but I wasn't expecting to find much. But was I ever wrong. The first place we stopped was KMart, and I found Natalya. Now the Hart Dynasty is now complete. Then we went on down the road and stopped at Toys R Us. After a few unsuccessful trips, I finally found the CM Punk vs Steve Austin All Stars 2 pack. I had waited and not purchased the Steve Austin Legends figure and had passed on the previous Punk Elites, so finding this set killed 2 birds with one stone (as they say lol). I'm glad I waited too, cause for some reason when I think of CM Punk, I picture him in yellow attire. The best part of this finding was the price. I was able to pick up this set for only $17.99....just a couple dollars more than a regular Elite, which is cool because I was mainly just wanting the Punk figure, so its like getting the Austin for just $2 more. I had heard about the Legends 2 packs being Buy one get one free, but hadn't heard about the AllStars sale. Its probably old news, but if I missed it then I'm sure someone else may have too, so I thought I'd share.
Also, although I don't have it pictured, I picked up the Edge Signature Series figure earlier this week. I got the version in the black tights, I think it looks better than the white tights version.
But, anywho, just thought I'd share with everyone.

Thanks, guys. Punk and Austin is a great set, 2 really good figures.
I actually saw a 2nd Natalya at Big Lots, I told my wife as soon as we got home that I should have bought it for anyone on here looking for one. I didn't think about it in time though, and its an hours drive away. If for some reason I head back that way, I'll double check for that other Natalya and if I find her I'll sell her to somebody on here.
The Big Lots also had Legends series 2, and if i read the sign right, I think they were only $10. I'm not really looking for anyone in that set though, too bad they didn't have series 3 so I could finally get my Vader.

I want both of those so bad you are lucky My city is horrible for WWE. Right now all my wal-mart has are flex force Punks, and a bunch of Jake Roberts and Iron Sheiks down to $10 for clearance. TRU in Canada is outrageously priced (even though the dollar is par with US) and all they have are Piper/Orton and Sheik/Volkoff and a couple basic Regals. Awesome pick-ups, enjoy your new cool stuff

Awesome pick-ups, enjoy your new cool stuff My city is kinda horrible also. The only places we have with WWE figures are WalMart and Walgreens. The Walgreens just has 2 Best of 2010 Cenas. The WalMart is full of Flex Force figures, WrestleMania Heritage Basic figures, and the 2pack series with MHardy/Khali in it. We don't carry Legends . I work at the WalMart, so I make it a point to check the figures out each day before I go home, just to see if we've gotten anything in or anything has sold down. I have to drive at least an hour north to Bowling Green or an hour south to Rivergate if I'm looking for anything specific. (Legends, AllStars, etc.). The week before Mania when KMart was having its sale, I made 3 trips to 3 different areas that week and only found DM Warrior. That Warrior is awesome btw, wasnt looking for him or planning on getting him till I saw him in person. But today's trip was a very lucky one, both of these pick ups were the ones I was looking for during WMania week.

Cali is great for picking up figures. Just got to be patient here though.
