Hey Guys, So I had to go to Winners to return a $13 T-Shirt (don't judge me!); now for you non-Canadian WFers, Winners is a department store up here in Canada where all toys go to die. Anyways, I'm returning this shirt when out of the corner of my eye I see a L4 George Steele, sure enough there's an L4 Ultimate Warrior and low and behold an L4 Hillbilly Jim. Snapped them up immediately, but the best part was - they were each $5.99!!!: Do you know how much a Hillbilly Jim goes for on eBay these days?! Anyways, after returning the shirt and getting these the difference was a mere $5.60. Most likely they'll be used for parts for fix-ups (see my Michael P.S. Hayes below using a George Steele body), and more importantly I can finally make that Bill Goldberg with that Hillbilly Jim that I would never have paid $30+ for on eBay. Alas there was no Demolition Ax or Smash to be seen. But that's my feel good toy karma story! ...but now I don't have a shirt to wear

That's awesome. Love findings like this. HBJ goes for so much because he's used for a lot of Goldberg customs.

So there's a shirtless Canadian walking around with a bag of wrestling toys? What's that all a boot, eh?

Which head is best for the Goldberg/HBJ fixup? I picked HBJ up at Big Lots about a month ago after passing on it multiple times at $9. Warrior for $5.99?!? I'm genuinely jealous!!

So jealous you got Hillbilly Jim for that price. I've wanted him since it was announced but of course that set never came here.

Great finds! Less than $20 for those three is a steal! Congrats.

Please use Austin boots/lower legs on Goldberg, I'll shoot myself if I see another with the stock HBJ boots xD.
