Given I've decided to start getting a few RAs, I went into town today to look for some. I noticed RA34 has hit the UK. But I noticed something odd.
I know the UK hasn't gotten the RA divas in a while, and I'd heard that RA34 had them again. So I saw Mickie and Lillian figures in two comic book shops... But when I went to Toys R Us, they had about six or seven pegs of RA34, but no divas. Toys R Us sells the figures for about half of what they cost in the comic shop.
So my question is this - does anyone know if the RA34 WITH divas are only going to be in the comic book/specialist shops in the UK? Or are they in the likes of Toys R Us as well and just selling faster?

I don't know how eveything over there is but people do say that the diva figs are hard to find so you could still look at toys r us and take a chance or spend on the figs that the comic store is saleing for its really up to you if you want to spend your money on those over priced figs.

Comic shops get rare things like the diva figs so you could go and pay those over priced figs.

I heard some of the Forbidden Planet stores has the RA34 Divas. (But my local FP (Southampton) didn't have any).

I think Ebay would be cheaper but then you have the shipping prices or just order from Ringside collectibles that way you don't have to worry about someone out bidding and then you spending your money and if you order from Ringside all of the figs come MOC so you won't have to worry about the packages or anything.

Even if the shipping is higher its better to get a fig that is MOC then getting a fig that has signes of shelfwear so would the wait for the fig to be shipped and to pay the high shipping cost is it worth it yes and it also depends on if your a MOC collector because then you should buy the fig from Ringside or if your a loose collector then yes buy the fig from the comic store it really all depends. |

That's why I've never once purchased from them; I don't know how they have the nerve. It's never slowed me down either, I have ALWAYS found everything I wanted elsewhere and for less than half the price of what it would cost through RSC. Plus, I hear about their constant instances of awful packaging, which just puts me off even more. Regarding the Divas in the UK, only Forbidden Planet gets them (and any market stall you may frequent), but not retail stores like TRU. |

Oh right. I've never seen them in Forbidden Planet before (that I can remember, anyway, although I've not paid too much attention to RA until recently) which was what made me wonder. Well, that and Forbidden Planet seemed to get RA34 in at exactly the same time as Toys R Us.
I'm not that fussed on either Mickie or Lilian, but I've no interest at all in any of the male wrestlers from series 34. I suppose I'll get an ECW Morrison instead.
