Ended up having one of the best weeks for the last week of July. started on Thursday the 25th, when I went into the closest Target to me at the mall, hoping to find basic 30, and get AJ, since I had gotten D-Bry about a month back. Get to the isle, no basics, but a fresh case of e22! I end up snagging Giant, Tensai and Sandow, since I figured later on they would be the harder three to find. The following Monday, I go on my regular run of local stores, of Target, Walmart and a second Target (where I got E22). I get to the isle at the first Target and see basic 30 out, and at first, didn't see AJ, and got bummed, but I always look twice, and realized I scanned right past her, about three back, and finally snagged her The other stores had nothing, but hey I got AJ. And of course, the mall Target had none of the elites left. The next day I was back at the mall to return a game to Gamestop that I forgot to bring Monday, and thankfully I did, I go to Target, and when I was near the isle, I see a guy walking towards me, a Giant in one hand, three other figures in the other, so I know they had e22 put out again. (I saw him after, hiding three of them in another isle lol) So I get there, and the champions were still there, so I grab Kane and Big Show, and even though I wasn't originally going to get him, The Rock. Was a very good way to end July, and the only thing to make it better, was to have found Rosa, since at the end of last week, I started seeing b31 in Target, but of course, everyone but her.

I was so happy I was able to get him, since I never saw his basic figure, and haven't seen the set since I got Tensai for it.

Yea, I'm actually thinking of getting that A.J. if I ever see it.... from pictures, it looks like the best one they've made - I wasn't very impressed with the one from Elite 21.... what are your thoughts?

I liked her elite figure. They did a good job on her outfit, and the scan is better than it's given credit for. In pictures it doesn't look great, but in person I thought it's pretty good.

Well today I was near a K-Mart and Target that I usually don't have chances to get to so I decided to try my luck. The K-Mart was always a hit or miss, but I figured, at least I might be able to find one of the Tribute to the Troops discounted rings. So I get to the figures, and nothing new. couple of Kofi and Cenas from the champions packs, bunch of TTTT figures, a a couple elite 16 figures, including this one So I go down to th the isle where all the clearance toys are, and see a TTTT ring, but with one little problem: Even at just four bucks I wasn't going to buy it, and find pieces missing when I got home. So with that trip, I left, and pretty much wrote off that K-Mart. This trip was a last chance for them, and I don't see myself going back ever again. So I get to the Target, and as I approach the wrestling figures, I was surprised to see the one I was searching for, front and center on the peg. It really surprised me to see here there, in the front, not covered by any other figures, especially since other guys from the series weren't there. And they weren't to be outdone by the K-Mart down the road, I look down on the shelf under the pegs and see this: But today, with one figure, made my trip worth it, and as of now, I'm pretty much caught up to where I want to be until I hear reports of the Vince/Punk battle pack popping up around here.
