Thanks fellow Canucks for keeping me figure hunting and fnding a full set of BAF JR at Toysrus Pembina in Winnipeg! Now to keep an eye out for BAF Paul Bearer! On a sidenote it's so surreal that Ultimate Warrior passed last night after seeing him be a part of the WWE again! Following tweets and other sources of social media it seemed like he had buried some hatchets as well as started new friendships! I too am still in shock! RIP Ultimate Warrior The one positive out of all this is that at least he buried the hatchet with the wwe. Glad he spoke at his well deserved induction. Was an honor to see it live. I wish savage had the opportunity to do the same.

I did wrestlemania 18 in Toronto years ago but I was 16 and didn't drive. Was with my brother and a buddy at a sleazy hotel. Axxess sure has changed.
I did 23 and did multiple days and events (edge/layla signing, video game challenge, hall of fame) and wrestlemania itself.
Was hoping to get to this one but never did. There is always next year.

I may be able to check some other locations for you tomorrow. I went to Markville today. I also called the one at High Tech Rd and Lawerance and VP. If you'd be able to check that would be great! Thank you in advance!

There is always next year. even tho it was 12 years ago, Axxess for WM18 was still pretty good lol.. i remember getting there and just going right into a line.. waiting 45 min for william regal and then all of a sudden they were switching over when we were about 8-10 ppl from the front, and out came the Undertaker.. we definitely marked out...he was the only big one we met... rest of the guys we met were when their lineups were over and we just went up to them, like Goldust, Rhyno, and a few others.. also ran up and just in time got in for HBK as we heard like 100 ppl chanting HBK HBK HBK and ran up the opposite side of an escalator to just sneak in to meet him...did the commentary stuff, took picture with the Title and either Big Show or Benoit (luckily we chose Big Show lol).. still lots of good stuff from then.... went to WM23 as well, but we did some WWE package from union station that was a train to windsor, bus to detroit and got there around like 3pm so didnt go to axxess, if they even had one... Arun, looks like u had an amazing time.. sounds like u jam packed those 3 days u were there... going next year would be awesome as well, but it would be mostly WWE as WWE is stopping all other companies from having events within the vicinity of WM...

Yeah lots of people were talking about that. Vince does not want any company other than wwe in town. It's too bad the last two wrestlecon conventions have been awesome and in my opinion better than axxess!

No build a figure at all. Ended up taking advantage of the sale and grabbed the warrior Sheamus 2 pack. Also picked up basic mania 30 lesnar and taker. Figured those figures now hold some importance

Yesterday I picked up the new Ultimate Warrior 3-disc DVD set and just today I picked up the new WWE 50 book, which was marked to 40% off.

Found Bret/HBK and the Basic mania figures and 2packs, as well as the BAF set. I only got Punk... took a lot of self restraint not to splurge lol. While i was there, they found a swapped bret figure that had a classic bret figure. so, i showed them how easy it is to swap, and they're gonna discuss it at their meeting lol. told them to make not of articulation

Just got a call from Toy Traders today telling me Elite 27 came in. For some reason, Rikishi was in none of the cases they received. What gives?
