So this past week my wife and I have been on vacation from work. It was our anniversary so we took a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN and I did a bit of figure hunting throughout the week.
Vacation started out last Sunday, I went with my brother,sister, and nephew to the Sheamus signing at Barnes and Noble. Sheamus is a nice guy. He took time to talk to everyone, posed for pictures that we had been told he wasnt going to do, and signed autographs for everyone.
Then Tuesday morning my wife and I headed out on the road to Pigeon Forge. We stopped at a WalMart on the way where I picked up Royal Rumble series Chris Jericho and the new Sting DVD. Also stopped by the Knoxville Wrestling Store for the first time and got the Foley/Samoa Joe 2pack. I know they're not Mattel but I only took the one picture for Day 1 pick ups. I've been wanting the Foley for a while and have a custom idea for Joe.
Stopped at another WalMart later in the week and found both of these figures.
Now my 3MB is complete.
On our way home we stopped at a few flea markets were I found these. I had passed on the LJN Savage at the first flea market for $15, then found him plus Piper and Bundy all for $15 at the next Flea market.
Orton was $6. He's a little bit beat up including a damaged/somewhat missing nose, but I figured $6 was probably the cheapest I would find him.
When we arrived home I found these waiting for me.
Jake was from Ebay and the rest from Ringside.
Then yesterday we took a trip to Bowling Green. I saw leftovers from Elite 30 at a few locations but not the ones I was looking for. So my wife suggested we drive on to Gallatin/Madison to look. After a full day of running around together and stopping at many WalMarts, a couple of ToysrUs, and 2 Targets we were ready to head home. On the way I decided to run in Kroger since we were that close and found these. Gonna use the LOD to make NWA/WCW customs as I missed out on the originals. Still need one more Luger for a WCW custom too.
Its been an awesome week, we had a great trip, and I have an amazing wife for not only putting up with my crazy hobby but to enjoy hunting with me.
