Ok here we go, long time WWE fan, long time lurker, 1st time poster. So I have always loved WWE figures but never jumped the gun to buy one cause well...Hey I'm 27 I shouldn't have to explain why I was hesitant to buy toys LOL.I was just good enough with checking them out online or when I'd go to stores. Actually that’s a lie I bought a Jakks 2003 Goldberg Summerslam back in 2003 cause my mind was blown at a Goldberg WWE figure. Got it opened it, meh. I stopped looking at figures after that. So a few months ago, I saw the BOPPV Daniel Bryan at Toys R Us and thought it was amazing. Loved that specific attire on Bryan, but still didn't buy it even though I wanted it and I had a $5 off coupon (Stupid!).
After seeing that there was such an awesome Bryan figure, I started looking up the new figures and checking the boards, looking at pics etc. I went nuts seeing all the awesome stuff Mattel had been producing since 2010. Long story short I bought Dean punks tattoo decals weeks ago, before I even had a figure to put them on.
I really wanted the elite Punk and Bryan cause they represent the best two wrestlers in the WWE today and they’re my favorites. So I decided you know what screw it, I want to get a few figs, not start a collection but just get the ones I liked (BOPPV Bryan, Elite 16 Punk, a future elite christian with hopefully the new scan) and that's it. To display them MOC. I would be good with those 3 maybe a rock or Triple H if they looked awesome.
Only problem is, when I went back to Toys R Us to get the Daniel Bryan. It was gone. Weeks and weeks of searching at multiple stores. No Bryan in sight, let alone any good elite figures. So today I hit up a local video game/toy store that ALWAYS has great WWE stuff. They have had the bryan figure but since they aren’t Toys R us they scratch the logo off the packaging which just looks like hell to me so I didn’t get it. And what do I see today, 2 cases of the Ricardo BAF….all 4 fresh just chillen on the racks. First time I ever seen an elite Punk, grabbed it for $20.00 even (no tax) Figure is awesome, wish it came with a shiny belt but once you see it in person it’s awesome no matter what. Not only that I get home and the freaking Punk decals arrived today and I ordered them like 6 weeks ago. What a wrestling figure fairytale. End of rant. I hope this doesn’t turn into an addiction.
