Now im just kind of buying random things I thought I would never buy because Im just being impatient about hearing about the new stuff at SDCC. So here is what I picked up today. At target I picked up the Rhodes/dibase 2pack that we see literatly everywhere, I got it for $12 bucks, and Cody's dad wanted to come along so I bought Dusty for $7, even though I already had him MOC, i just thought it would be nice to display beside cody. Then the two CM Punks I picked up from F.Y.E. for $9.99 marked down from $12.99 Man I cant wait for new stuff   |

I know exactly what you mean.
Been looking to do fix-ups too because of the boredom but the 1st Ive done in a while is looking good.
Not a expert or talented neither but I need something to keep me going with WWE Mattel fig's

At least you saved a few dollars and they are nice figures.
But sometimes sales and clearances are bad. I've bought some figures out of boredom or because they were cheap. Then later I regret buying them and wish I had saved the money until something I really want comes along.

Been there, done that. I'm just trying to stay clear from hunting. I'm all caught up, and I feel like I will have plenty to buy once we see pics from SDCC. Good grabs though, I did an arm swap on the OTL Punk and I think it's awesome. I love Dusty as well. Some times it's the things you never thought you would buy that you end up liking the most.

South Park series 2 is out? Haven't seen them yet.
Yesterday I bought one of the new Mortal Combat figures. What a waste of $15. Mattel's quality blows them away.

Ouch.....come on dude, the blatant misspelling of Kombat hurts. LMAO! I have yet to see any figures from the new game. The ones you are are from the new one right? |

Wouldnt it make more sense to save that money on stuff you dont want/need for stuff that you do want? Why would you spend just to spend?

I didn't realize I did that. But I am more of a StreetFighter fan ;D. So far they have Raiden, SubZero, and Scorpion. They're not horrible just not up to Mattel's quality and they are kind of small for $14.99. They are as tall as a Basic Rey. They just started to show up at FYE and TRU. |

It's pointless to buy things you don't need just because you're up to date or can't wait for newer stuff. That's just a waste even if it is on sale. |

I know how you feel, I've picked up some random things while waiting for new stuff to come out. Mostly some pegwarming Basics that I passed on originally or nice deals that are too good to ignore. My biggest shopping frenzy was a few months ago when I went ring crazy and bought a bunch of Basic rings just for fun and displays. I got some doubles recently but that's for the Vince promo.
Is it a waste of money? No, anything can be perceived as such. I'm picking up things that I wanted for my collection but was on a budget at the time. Now, I have the extra cash for it so it's no big deal. Some of these things are on sale now, so it worked out even better. I like to think that I'm helping out the economy and giving Mattel my support!
Slinky462, enjoy the cool figures! Everyone keeps talking about that OTL Punk, and I always come across him at stores, but still don't have him. He keeps tempting me more every time!

I'm doing the same thing, I only collect elites, but out of boredom I bought some basics. I'm stupid and wish I could control my "addiction" as my wife would say. I just hope rsc puts preorders up asap
