TRU got basics 72 today, the misus brought me home Nakamura. Perks of your other half being a TRU store manager!

Just catching up with the last few pages and the reprehensible, shady business practices shown by Gameseek. Clearly they have the stock. I just think they saw the volume of AJ orders, did a little research and saw a way to fleece an extra £13 odd quid per figure whilst at the same time cancelling all the previous orders. I would have no problem had they honoured the orders at the lower cost and then upped the price, what a bunch of shysters. Do as others have, bombard their social media with complaints and do as I do and leave poor reviews on the AJ product page on their site. And do not give them your hard earned money. There's a high chance of it backfiring on them too I think because Elite 51 AJ should be releasing any day now, so hopefully most people would choose the cheaper option (even though I think 47A's the better figure).

Finally pulled the trigger on Regal and bloody Sid 😂 price matched in TRU and got one for half price so only came to £7.50! They also gave me another £5 voucher to use over the weekend!

I think they price match most stores as long as you can show it on the website or something.

Every time I try to price match in TRU I'm given a full interrogation, then manager to go check local stock, hold the queue up 10 minutes to be ultimately turned down

Bought Gallows and Anderson from TRU!
My friend got a half price DM Undertaker as part of that deal. They had basic Shinsuke too but I bought the DM one which is probably all I'll ever need.
Had my Nia Jax a few weeks too so there was nothing else I really fancied. They had all 4 packs of the new BP's.

Picked up the revival battle pack, got the dm undertaker half price then hit them with a £5 off voucher

Has anyone else had a dispatch email from Gameseek after getting the cancelled email?
I did last night but wondered if I'd inadvertently bought something off them on eBay. But just checking my PayPal account and they haven't refunded me so may get the order after all?
We'll see

I've bought a few figures over this past week. Went into Bradford Smyths last week to find the WWE section was about 50% smaller, not sure if other stores have done the same?
They have added a pop vinyl section on 1 side and moved the transformers to the other. As a result the mutant line has just disappeared, many of the older basics have gone, and also the WWE turtles. They had plenty in and now stock checker shows out if stock so they may have transferred the stock to other stores?
I picked up Becky Lynch for £14.99. I'm pretty much up to date with current elite sets now.
Went into TRU at Leeds Birstall on Friday and picked up B72 Sheamus and Zack Ryder on BOGO 1/2 price and got a £5 voucher
Went to Bradford TRU yesterday to use the voucher, was intending to pick up DM Nakamura but it was out of stock so got WM elite HBK and WM basic Austin on the 1/2 price offer and only after I had left the store realised i'd forgotten to use my voucher. Its good til tomorrow so I may head back to Birstall TRU as they had the DM Nakamura in.
Regarding TRU, the Network Spotlight line is doing more harm than good. The NS figures account for around 60-70% of the display and they just arent selling even with the current offer. Far too expensive for what they are, and they seem unwilling to reduce figures enough to clear out the pegwarmers and as a result will always be way behind Smyths as the place to shop for WWE which wasnt always the case. Both Leeds and Bradford have many multiples of every single NS figure right back to Shawn Michaels.
They also seem to have been stuck on elite 46 for months now where Smyths will have E51 in shortly.
At Leeds you can still buy multiples of Damian Sandow from the BaF Paul Bearer set for the full £13.99, why isn't this in the clearance bin by now its about 3 years old! They have figures in, especially battle packs, that you cant even price match with Smyths anymore as they are too old.

Picked up the revival battle pack, got the dm undertaker half price then hit them with a £5 off voucher How did you manage DM Taker for a £1?! They have an offer on Wwe figures buy two and get the cheapest one half price. I got a battle pack and dm undertaker, undertaker was the cheapest so I got it half price plus I used a £5 off voucher. I'm pretty sure the first message covered it pretty well.

Picked up DM Macho Man today, from Oldbury Smyths.
They had about 5 or 6 altogether. I had to find one with the least sloppy beard paint app. On the right side of his face his beard line was either too high or too low.
