For the first time in over TWO YEARS, I'll be going on a figure hunt. With Sting coming sooner rather than later, I'll be picking up two of every release of him. I have yet to pick up a Reigns/Brock/Rollins/Ambrose/Wyatt...and half my figures need to be updated for any number of reasons. That said, can someone tell me how to fix warped legs or are they completely screwed? The picture below is about 45% of my collection. The rest I either don't want, have to fix, or need updating...  |

First gets in a long, long while... The Usos, Harper/Rowan, and Ambrose were from the nearest Meijer. They had the Mexi-color elite Cara, and Big E -- hard to pass up those two. Hopefully they're still there next month. Went down the road from there to Walmart, and they had a few figures (namely Hogan and Cesaro) I was interested in, but passed up in hopes of finding Reigns/Brock...There had been 4 Reigns just days ago. There were none, now. Came back across the south side of town, and found one Reigns left. Passed on the Rollins, as I think I'll wait for an semi-updated Elite. Had X Pac, and JYD as well...hard to pass up those two, especially Pac, since they had a few of the Dogg/Gunn 2 packs, as well. I admit, I missed this feeling. Figures have went up a few bucks in price though. Damn.  |

Finished out the day hitting two Targets, and Toys R Us before lunch looking for Lesnar. No luck. TRU was nearly barren. Few Cenas/Punks. New 2 packs, and rings/belts but empty otherwise. Target wasn't much better but the first had the WM Kane. Almost picked one up. They're sweet in person. And the 2nd Target was no better, but I wasn't going home empty handed, so I grabbed a basic Big E. Plan to hit the rest of the Walmarts/Meijers, and last Target, tomorrow. Overall, not a terrible day back in the game to have before lunch...  |

You should have went figure hunting a week or so ago.
TRU had 2 for 25 and Target had a nice sale too.

Went to another Meijer, and two more Walmarts this evening, searching for Lesnar. Found the 2 pack at the 2nd Walmart. Also picked up Fandango/Colter as I came up with plans for them. I count this as a perfect day of gets. Got literally every single figure I needed to pick up. Rollins/Wyatt I'll wait on. While I want them both, I want specific looks. Not only did I get all of them I went out to get, but I got some awesome figs I hadn't expected too. Love days like this.  |

 I'm not particularly a Ryback fan, but the figure was so rad, i couldn't pass it up. Really dig it. And Cesaro has grown on me, so I figured a basic was decent. I have plans for the Hulkster. Never been huge on Hogan, so again, basic suffices. I'll be honest, the only other figure I need at this point is an Elite John Cena...and it's easily been the hardest to find. Who would have thought it possible? Weird. |

I was leaving Meijer and I was texting my ex and told her that Cena was proving hard to find as an Elite for some strange reason, and she was like "There were always a bunch in Auburn" (town north of here, but still a 45 min drive for me. Too far, for Cena, of all figures) -- and I'm like "The dude has a new figure every two months, I'm not going to sweat it." ...joke verified accurate! |

Good luck hunting! Mattel has stepped their game up and the overall quality is really good. Hope you find some gems out there!

More gets... Went back to the closest Meijer this morning at 2 AM. 2 Cenas were on the shelf. Asked the closest employee if they may have any more of the series, but she gave me the "If we have it, it's on the shelves" answer. I grabbed a Cena and went on about my night. I ended up having to go back at 6:30 and found another employee, told him I was looking for Rusev, Doink and Paige. He gladly went back and looked for me. All they had of what I wanted was Rusev, so I got one of him, as well. Sadly, customer service is predicated upon which employee you talk with. But at least I got 2 of the 4. Ended up ordering Paige/Doink from RSC since I don't want to hunt them. Most I've gotten of any single series, I believe.  |
