My TRU in Edinburgh shuts down on Friday. Went in yesterday and everything was 50% and then they took a further 50% at the till. So I got the last two diva dolls (Alicia Fox & Charlotte) that my daughters don’t have and two 1988 replica TNMT that they had. All in was £16.50. Would have been £30 in Smyths just for the dolls. They was a guy in a suit on his phone in there, he’d called someone and said he was one of the administrators and that he’d heard they were interested in buying the fixtures and shelving and wanted them to pop over that afternoon. He also tried to get me to buy one of those turtle sandpits for £12.50 on my way out! To be honest there wasn’t much else to buy, it was almost empty and what was left was just crap.

Damn I'm mad for you. I'm a moc collector. Whoever you ordered from you should have asked them to box it up for you. I always ask seller's. If they don't I will demand a refund or a replacement.

My TRU is 70% off, closing tomorrow, and still has loads of the superstar dolls and woman’s titles. I might pick up the belt as a joke for my mate. Just goes to show how SJW toys don’t sell.
I also got a Sucide Squad figure for £1.28 or something

Another different Basic set spotted in Home Bargains. Bolton had Series 69 yesterday. Well, just three Zayn, one Cena and a Bray by the time I saw them

For anyone thinking of buying him from Home Bargains the figure is not scaled well (way too short).

Got Kurt Angle basic in suit from Smyths St Helens. I'm very tempted to swap head with EG but with EG costing 33 quid no way am I risking the neck snapping.

Which version of Kurt has been popping up? I saw the one in the black suit with the red shirt in Asda the other day, but I know there's the grey suit version too

If you soak it in hot water for long enough, you shouldn't have a problem. If it feels like you're putting too much pressure on it and it's gonna break, put it back in the water for another minute.

Kids are always asking for the masked wrestlers so parents tend to pay more for them.

It's not looking good for NXT series 3 at Argos. They just got in the wrestlemania elites

Thought I’d ask here because for the most part I find I get more sense out of we UK folk than the worldwide board. Anyone got any good tips for thinning out their collection? I’m currently trying and had very little success, I just feel like I want to keep everything even though I want a smaller, more concise collection

Tried to make it up to around 2006 as a cut off point but ended up getting Umaga and Boogeyman etc due to low price. Heard others only collect golden era, attitude era etc. Could narrow it down even further by only collecting elites.

I’m currently trying and had very little success, I just feel like I want to keep everything even though I want a smaller, more concise collection I've narrowed mine down based on my pic fed. My roster is 99% current guys with a few exceptions like Bret and Shawn so if I see a figure like Kamala I think 'would I actually have a use for this figure in my storylines' and most of the time the answer is no. That's trimmed my collection down A LOT. I've never been a completionist but a few years back, I'd be buying 3 or 4 Elites from every wave, plus Basics and Battle Packs. Now I maybe buy one Elite every few waves depending on what I want/need for W3A - I originally slowed down on buying basics because Elites are easier to pose with and since they've changed the articulation and taken accessories out of the Battle Packs, I haven't bought any since (with the exception of the Bearer BAF wave). Really depends on what you use your collection for - display/playing/animation/pic fedding etc, and what you want to collect. Narrow it down to a certain time period or else say you're only going to buy one figure of each wrestler.
