So I've been itching to get a Hillbilly jim figure for a custom, but couldnt seem to find him anywhere in stores. So I bought one loose from a member on here. Today I had to drive out for work, which landed me next to a walmart, so I go in there and sure enough i see pegs full jims and paul orndoffs, i kicked myself in the butt for not waiting. I'm not sweating it tho as i'll probably buy him next week when i come back for another custom. But has hapened to anyone where you buy a figure online only to see that same figure in stores?
P.s. Any customs you'd reccomend for a paul orndoff figure?

I had the same thing happen to me when the Legends 5 Macho Man came out.

Basic 1 Evan Bourne, bought online after months of not finding, then the next day I found him.

Yeah, I bought an elite 9 Kofi for £19.99 plus shipping off Amazon and then the next day I saw him in TRU for £12.99.

Just happened to me last week. I bought an Elite Goldust from a member on here in the classified section and then found him at K-Mart later in the week.

Happened quite often to me which I take as me not looking properly and been impatient. Also going for the easy option.
I bought Carlito and Primo series 5 at WrestlingWorld found it on anogther website for half the price I paid. Only problem was WrestlingWorld sent series 2 which I have. So I sent it back and they were supposed to send series 5 but now there saying they hav'nt recieved. I have proof of postage but it looks like im going to going through a load of hassle for something I could have by now cheaper......:-(

All the time. And if I got to a local toy show and buy a figure for a mark up, its usually the next week I find it.

Bought Skip and DB from RSC. They came in the mail, I opened them. Next day I go to Toys R Us, shelves FULL of Basic 11...(this was right before the Vince Promo happened)
It's why I'm so hesitant to pay extra for 2 Pack 10 Nexus...

A week and a half ago, I found Legends Iron Sheik and Terry Funk after I bought them on eBay. It really does suck, and I still haven't received Funk in the mail yet.

No i don't think i have done it to be honest. I found mostly everything in stores so i just always waited so i could get it at retail price.

It happened to me with Legends 4. I ordered the set online but I ordered them with the DI 4 TNA figures. Those got pushed back which held up my entire order. I was in KMart cuz they had some sale going on and they had almost the entire set. I picked up an extra Warrior, Orndorff, and Hillbilly Jim. BTW I used the extra Orndorff for a Goldberg custom. I've also seen people use him for Hogan. The possibilities are kind of endless for Orndorff if you consider the 80s. Typical steroid enhanced body.

It happened to me with the HHH/HBK Rumblers pack. I had found all the other packs except for that one. Bought it on Ebay only to find one $8 cheaper at a Toys r Us the following week.
