My son and I took a long overdue vacation. We stayed busy on the first day figure hunting. Gave up on Wal Mart's. Sticking to Walgreens, Gamestops and Targets for now
At home, it has been a wasteland for finding new stuff. Still loaded with E32 Bryan's, E34 Hogans, E34 Rusevs, E36 shel warmers, E38 Bryan's and E39 crap. Haven't seen hardly any E40 and beyond
Finally got the Nastys (from Walgreens). Can't wait to bust them loose and take the coats off of them and throw the tag belts from Yokozuna on them
We will add Yokozuna to the WWE Champions display (we don't have the E15 one). Sucks we missed the $10 HOF sale by one day
Have to admit haven't seen Finn at all but on RAW last week, but looks like he will be a player on the main roster and this figure was to badass to pass up
Finally (FINALLY) found Asty SW Black 6" figure. This and Hux have eluded us since their release. Glad to finally add him to the collection
And Namor. Had not seen a single one at the 30 Walgreens at home. Found like 20 down here between three LOL
Thanks for looking and hopefully I'll be adding more. (Staying 5 days)
Found a bit more on day 2. Sorry about the non wrestling stuff, but pickings are getting kind of slim WWE wise
The Ghost Rider and Superior Venom came from where else, but Walgreens! My go to place. They had Chameleon, Kraven and Scarlet Spidey too. Unfortunately I couldn't take them all. Happy with these two
Found E38 Macho Man at a Wal Mart for $14.92. Happy with that. They also had sleeved APA but had to pass on those also
Finally picked up Walgreens DX Shawn Michaels. I'm not even a fan of this version of DX but what can I say. Me and my son are HBK marks so......,
The 1991 Emmitt Snith SLU was $2. Had to grab it, if not just for a nostalgia piece. When I was a teenager this thing was going for over $100!!
And the Star Wars piece. The guy wanted $50. I laughed to my son and said I MIGHT give him $10! So he saw me looking at it and said I can do $20. I said no thanks. Well my son wasn't having that! He handed me $10 of his money and said get it. When I say he's a sucker for original SW and ESB and ROTJ stuff, that's an understatement! He loves that stuff when it has any kind of packaging. Whether it's crisp, or beat to shlt. It does look kind of cool though. Vehicle is complete and mint.
We will see what day 3 brings I guess. Thanks for looking
Everything together so far
Day 3
Not the most exciting pickups but two great figures, and one ho-hum figure (had to get IRS to complete Money Inc. and put with my classic tag teams).
Rick Rude was one of my favorite performers of all time, so very happy to add him to the lineup
My son had just gotten into wrestling when Umagas first Jakks RA figure was coming out. He was excited to get that then, and I think just as excited to finally find the far superior Mattel version. J
Hopefully he will be able to stand up! LOL
Gonna hit a couple of flea markets today and tomorrow. Don't know if we will find anything else. So this may be it. Glad to fill a bunch of holes, and finally have some time to go out and hunt together.
Shot of all pickups so far
Thanks for looking
Day 4
As I said, it's getting kind of slack around here! Got these from a local flea market and picked up a few comic books we were interested in
Sid - what can I say. The figure sucks but I need him for my champions lineup. Will buy the Justice head when I see him and swap it out. May make it a little better for me
Pillman - I have passed on this 2 pack time and time again because I had no interest in paying $18-$20 for Pillman (no use for that Ambrose). Picked him up for $5. Will be a nice addition to the WCW display
I did find the Dusty Elite/ring combo at Target. Got all the way to the front of the store, got in line, then said there is no way I can pay $40 for this Dusty Elite. I have no use for the ring. So I put it back, guess I will have to pass or wait until it's on clearance
Gonna hit up a couple more flea markets and stops on the way home today. We shall see
Thanks again
