I'm sure at least a small portion will go to WWE figures. When we get ours in, we'll both usually buy a little something for us. Then save the majority of it to dip into for Christmas or any vacation we decide to take. But I'm sure whatever I buy for myself will include at least one Mattel figure.

I don't know how scalping is still relevant these days, newer elites barely fetch above retail. You can get elites 33-39 online for retail price or slightly more. idk either they cant be making much at all after shipping and eBay taking thier cut at the most they probably make $4 or $5 if even that...hell they probably loose money in the long run I bet it only really gets them a profit when the figures first come out. Everyone gets this crazy need to have them right now, and some give in and pay a lot more than they would if they would wait it out. I get that crazyness too, mostly because every now and then there's that one figure that you completely miss seeing and you hunt for like crazy but never find. But Even though I want them when they first hit, normally I wait till retail, or Ringside gets the back in stock, or Amazon gets them. The one time I gave in was HOF Sgt Slaughter. He was the main one I wanted from this line and when they first hit everyone was having a hard time finding him. Well my closest Target is about 45 minutes away, so I knew I would have trouble finding him too. So I gave in and bought him off ebay for $40 shipped.

I must've missed the thread about TRU having the WM 32 Elites. Either that or I haven't been to the nearest one in a while which is Mesquite TX. They never have had much lately.

PJ and a couple others posted them in their recent pickup threads. My store however still has WMXXX baf and e36...

I live in NY and my store just got them yesterday. PJ found them in NJ maybe like a week ago, I think? These will be all over in a few weeks like the WM31 Undertaker and Kane from last year. I was just driving myself crazy looking for them before they got here. Undertaker is pretty cool. I changed the head and put the WM Heritage Undertaker head with the medium length hair on it. The coat is ok, but not as good as the one that came with EG Undertaker, but still waaaaay better than those hard plastic shells like Sting's coat, lol Brock is pretty good except for that screaming headscan. The belt is nice and big. Plastic shirt is useless. I'm still waiting for a cloth Brock shirt. I won't hold my breath though, lol.

All going into my savings account. Haven't spent my tax return in the last 5-6 years. True waste of money.

My plan is to get a newer car then what I drive now and then some new furniture and a few figures that I have missed out on and ones I just want but never had the money for all them lol. Me and my fiancée are getting our daughters new beds as well so our money will be gone after all this. Kudos, family and necessities come first. We have a small CC balance (compared to what our return is) we are paying off, getting a new dresser then banking the rest into our house fund. like I said in my previous post I did take a smnall amount to buy 2 things and we are putting a little toward a weekend getaway next month (which is paid for anyway) but other than that we are banking a good 75% Thanks man. We usually make a list of the stuff we need majorly and what the girls need first and then whatever we have left we use for whatever. We plan on getting more tattoos and other stuff if we have it left. The family always comes first and so does the bills and rent

The government is going to splurge with mine because I'm paying in because heaven forbid I be a full time employee citizen of the United States and actually get any money back. I guess all the lazy s who get back 7-8 grand will splurge with my money. taxes. It's a tax "refund" right? Which means you paid in too much taxes. How do people get money back if they don't put anything in? Burns my bread.

That's an awesome idea for Undertaker, I wish I could get my hands on that headscan and steal your idea lol Speaking of cloth shirts, today to be exact, I just opened my package including cloth Jean shorts and vest for stone cold, a whole suit for Alberto del Rio and red and black shorts with suplex city shirt and beanie for Brock Lesnar hahaha I ordered on New Years Day too. All from Ralph's. Talk about coming home from Balti. That was Mailgets then I take a trip to Walmart and I grabbed the 2 pack with suited HHH but my neice wanted to check out the figs herself as she likes the Diva figures and behold a whole endcap of Elite 39 and Bella 2 pack. So Bellas for her and Godfather for me. I really wanted BBD And Sting too but payday is Monday -_- Still, no WM 32 ELITES
