So, my wife and I decided to head to San Diego today. We passed through Yuma Arizona, saw this old ass looking TRU with the classic logo (Giraffe head) on the front, so I had to stop in. This TRU was STACKED, from top to bottom, left to right with stuff I've never seen at modern TRU's, it reminded me of my childhood. Anyways, I hit the figure section and they actually had E26, boppv booker and Heyman, and then I spotted the oldest figures I've ever seen at retail...  Now, I know it's nothing "special" but it's cool to see that there are still these old figures that some people call "gems" hanging around out there. I love visiting old school stores that you KNOW have some stuff like this available. What's the oldest figure(s) you've found this year so far? |

Vladmir Kozlov in his big white diaper has reason to hang around on shelves for so long.
Nonetheless i agree it is cool to see some older figs still lurking around in obscure stores.

A Rite Aid I'm the area still has black card figures of Extreme Rules Christian and Best of 2010 John Cena.
That Kozlov is a beaut. I picked up a few black card figures including that one at a toy show back in November. I only dislike that despite being cast in skin-tone they have also painted over it with a slightly paler tone. The figure had lots of scratches on the back where darker skin was showing. Very odd.

A TRU near me has a bunch of Best of 2012 Rey Mysterio's that they just put out; I guess they were just kept in a case in the back all of this time. There's also a Flex Force two pack of Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio at a local Target with the old WWE Spinner belt

There was a Elite 6 Shad at my K-Mart until about a month ago. It still said $15.99 on it too, but it would ring up at current prices though. It literally had SO much dust on it you couldn't see the top of the box. I wrote "Buy Me" on it, and it was gone a week later. Hahaha
