Update: July 13th:
Please scroll down if you didn't see my pickups last month. I've managed to pick up a few decent figures in the last month. I will start with Eddie and Yoko. Been in the UK the prices are sky high for the HOF series. Luckily I managed to find a seller who was willing to ship the two for £48 from the States. I'm fine with paying £24 each for them, it's only £4 over the retail price for a standard elite and I haven't picked up any elites recently as I completely skipped E35.
I was never a massive Eddie fan but I really appreciated him as a wrestler and as a person. I didn't own a Eddie figure but I knew as soon as I saw this one I needed it. Love it. I really can't complain.
Yokozuna. I missed the first one as I started collecting too late to find it for a good price. I was so excited when I knew this one was been released and was even more excited to find out it was coming with two tag team titles. Perfect.
I never watched WCW, I was always 100% WWF. I never really watched much of Sting but as soon as I saw this figure was going to be released I had to have it. I wasn't dissapointed either. It is absolutely perfect. £22.99 TRU, Leeds.
Bellas, £9.99 each, Smyths Leeds. I am really happy with these. It's about time we got updated attires and individual attires too.
Stephanie, £9.99, Smyths Leeds. Perfect. I love Triple H and have most of his elites but he didn't feel complete without Steph. It really is an awesome figure.
Thanks for looking. I am really pleased with Mattel at the moment. They are producing some amazing figures and SDCC showed that we have a lot more good figures to look forward too.

I've been going through a dry spot when it comes to buying figures at retail. I picked up E34 Paige and Rusev, WMXXX Undertaker and DM Razor back in march and haven't bought anything since. I've seen E35 at retail but nothing in the series interests me so I planned on saving my money until DM Sting and E36 hit the UK. A few weeks a go I felt the need to go buying so I bought these;
I didn't have a Macho in my collection as I only started collecting at the start of last year and haven't seen one at retail yet. I have been looking for a reasonable price one for a while and then I saw this pop up on eBay for £18 shipped. I love the figure but im not overly keen on the crown and cape so I added the t-shirt, again from eBay (£3.50).
Next is Booker. I bought this loose on eBay for £12 shipped. It didn't have the accessories but the figure is mint. I can live without the accessories for the price because the figure is normally a fortune.
I picked up WMXXX Bret and HBK for £21 shipped from the US. They also came with the winged eagle belt but no other accessories. I already had the Bret so I sold that on eBay this week and managed to get £13 for it. So really, I managed to get HBK and the belt for £8.
I wasn't fussed about this figure. I had no plans on picking it up as something seemed off about it. I got it for £20 posted MOC from Amazon which is the price of a normal elite in the UK. I could't miss it for that.
Last is two figures I felt were leaving a big hole in my collection. The DM Bret was the only mattel Bret missing from my collection but I could never find it for a reasonable price. I really really really wanted it so I went for the cheapest I could find and had to pull the trigger on £25 loose. It came with no belt but im not bothered because I already have a few winged eagle belts. I've been looking for Bulldog for over a year. I've just been waiting for one for the right price. I missed one on eBay a few weeks ago that sold for £24 and was gutted. Then I saw one pop up on US eBay and sent an offer for $20 ($28 shipped) and it was accepted. I was more than happy with it.
