Had a pretty sh***y day today but knew I had some packages waiting for me when I got home from work. I found out today that my mom may have lung cancer, barring some additional tests, biopsy, etc. With my wife out of town for work, these brought me some joy and allowed me to forget what kind of day I was having for a little bit. It's nice we can all share this hobby and distract us and help us escape from the absolute crap life throws at us sometimes. Before I got home I stopped at Target to have the electronics desk look up the Rocky Maivia dpci for the 4th time in 2 weeks lol. But as I was approaching I glanced to my left and saw 4 on an endcap. I probably let out an embarrassing dorky squeal of delight. I grabbed the 2 nicest packages and best paint jobs and got the hell on!  Edge arrived with loose B22 Henry. I got Henry because I'm sick of of his figs all in black and red; and it was only $2.50. So I did a swap with the B43 head.   B44 Kane was from mattelshop with free shipping. Cool fig even though I know we are getting corp Kane in a baf series.  The Authority  Got Legends Akeem for $15 shipped loose  Woods and Truth are from Amazon, even though I saw 2 of them today at Target. RVD from Target the other day. This scan and attire is miles above B39 imo.   Last week my wife bought TRU Lesnar while out of town for work. Just forgot to post a pic.  My E32 Rey and B44 Goldie from RSC should be here Friday. I got Rey from the damaged package section for 21.99. Then all I have on preorder is E33 X-pac and JYD. |

I don't suppose you have an eg jericho you could stand that Stephanie next to do you? It'd be much obliged. If not, that's cool too.
Real sorry to hear about your mom dude, hope all is good.

One more question out of curiosity, does that Lesnar broke the streak sign fit into the display stand like a name tag? I feel like it's either a really obvious no but my perception is terrible.

Sorry about your troubles, its funny (and nice) that these little plastic "nothings" can provide a lot of joy and little escape.

First of all, im praying for your mom. There is always the hope that the tests come back negative and she doesnt have to go through anything . Theres also the chance that she could very well beat it if she were to have it. So keep the faith. Second, yeah these little pieces of plastic can provide the perfect distraction from.lifes stresses. Ive been having an extremley stressful time at work lately, and i swear there have been times this last week where i had to bribe myself with the figures just to keep from walking out on it. And finally, that is one helluva haul. Im especially jealous of the Miavia and bp30. I agree that new RVD is the best mattel version of him yet. Just opened mine today along with that Corporate Kane. Good stuff, and keep positive. I'll be pulling for you guys.

Sorry to hear about your mom, dude. I hope all turns out well for you and your family.
On a lighter note, those Maivia and Edge figures are must haves for sure. Just beautiful.

Sorry about your troubles, its funny (and nice) that these little plastic "nothings" can provide a lot of joy and little escape. I often times associate toys with a drug. I feel great when im in the store looking for something to buy. It feels better when I find and buy something. It feels even better to open a toy. But then as soon as that rush is gone I want to start the process over again. |

Sorry about your mom, congrats about all the nice pickups. It's nice to have a non harmful escape like a collection to turn your attention to and forget about things. Just keep your head up, everything will work out just fine! Prayers for your mom.
