This honestly seems like the least newsworthy occurrence of the past year.

I’m not sure how excited I am to order online just due to the fact that the new face print technology is so hit-and-miss. As much as I’d love to be sure to get Ohno, I’m not interested in a derpy Kassius.

Here’s a question...
If I were to order figures off TRU.ca can I take them, along with my “raincheck documents” to get a refund in store?

For fellow hockey fans out there, Don Cherry got fired today for his remarks on Saturday about foreign people living in Canada not wearing poppies. Probably the wrong way of saying it, but I get what he was saying. Probably should have said, "anyone who lives in this country not wearing a poppy" because I know many born Canadian people don't wear them either. The whole situation is frustrating to watch tbh. On one hand I get that we live in a society where the comments as spoken wont be received well, but the reaction has been equally ridiculous. Is anyone honestly surprised that Cherry feels this way? Where’s the grace for someone who’s worldview was shaped at a VERY different time in history? Not saying it’s ok to just let someone go off, but could we not take an opportunity to further a conversation, have some discourse and seek understanding, as opposed to overreacting and twisting some unkind/not well thought out comments to create a scapegoat that creates more division amongst those observing? The freedom we experience in this country should be used to explore these kinds of differences and provide opportunities for us all to learn and grow...not to vilify one of our elders and make an example of him that’s not really all that helpful in the long-run. Just some of my thoughts...

Patience and Perseverence pay off... Elite 69 showed up at my local TRU today. First time I’ve seen them at a TRU...and tbh first time I’ve seen them anywhere unmolested by re-packers. Picked up Ali, Lashley, Riccochet and Ciampa with a raincheck. $12 Elites rule. Hey what toys r us were they at? Thanks Langley

Did the full tour today. 4 Walmart's and one TRU. Mostly just E69 and E66 around. Spotted E70 Bàlor at two Walmart's and Vince at one. Picked up Vince. Also, here's the proof.

so I'm trying that FedEx zone A option that RSC now has for shipments to Canada and I'm getting nervous. Got a notice from FedEx that my package is due on Thursday, only 1 item @ 2lbs...I really hope they don't add brokerage fees. I thought I read that they ship to the border then Canada Post takes over... ugh, I also pre-ordered 3/4 of that WM36 elite set because I really want Danny Davis. I just feel like FedEx is going to kill me. Then my wife is going to kill me afterwards. Well...at least you’ll already be dead #silverlining

E70 hitting WM already!! Wow...TRU needs to step up their game. I too am lurking with handfuls of rain checks.
Fairly frustrated that I haven’t landed a single fig from E69 yet. I know I’ve already complained at length about this but the re-packs around Vancouver for E69 have been RIDICULOUS. I don’t know what retailers can do, but somethings gotta change. It’s impacting both lines I collect...WWE and Marvel Legends. Noticed Metrotown TRU is keeping ML’s behind the customer service desk now.

Welp, until I can confirm it’s been fixed sufficiently I won’t be diving in. First time since the Super Nintendo days that I won’t be playing the latest WWE game.
What it has done though is pushed me back into the old games...specifically the Showcase modes. I’m having fun replaying those (for now).
I really wish we could have some kind of importer to bring older rosters into the newer gameplay environment. I realize it will never happen (outside of heavy fan modding) but damn we’d have the most amazing roster if we could amalgamate 2K15 - 2K20 into one game.

I’m REEEEEEEEALLY hoping for a patched in option to switch back to 2K19 controls. I like using multiple years for different Universes (this past year I’ve been using 2K18 for Smackdown and 2K19 for RAW and NXT). Having two different control layouts messes me up when trying to flip back and forth.

All I’ve seen are Elite 69 Miz’s and repacks of Ali, Lashley and Ciampa with Jakks figs 🤬

Picked up Elite Sonya, E69 Miz, Rey and Ali at Lougheed Walmart tonight. I thought I found Ricochet but some piece of crap repacked the box with some random black figure with a Teddy Long head. I can't believe people pull this **** in this day and age. I feel like this kind of garbage has become a big problem because of groups like this, unfortunately. Most people wouldn’t have ever thought of switching, but now that the cats out of the bag it’s unfortunately a pretty common problem. Nearly every TRU and/or Walmart I’ve been to on the lower mainland has suffered repacks I the last few months. Super frustrating.

For the Vancouver/Lower Mainland posters here, what have been the last few sightings for you guys? Things have gone quiet out here in BC! TRU Broadway still has Liv and Sonya as of last night. No signs of the Network Elites though. Network Elites in Langley for a couple weeks now.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure we’ve had a version of “The Network” in both WCW and TNA in the last 20 years. Wrestling’s been going long enough that there’s very little left to do for the first time.

I ordered ciampa n ali on american amazon. Checked 3 walmarts today but no luck. Not wastin anymore gas ill just let em arrive. Also got the new macho man halloween costume today from wweshop its great EDIT. has anyone used fedex saver to ship from rsc? Theyre telling me it should be delivered on our end by can post. That still doesnt answer if we get nailed with additional fees I had 3 orders come in August. I got nailed for $19.00 bucks import fee on one of them. The other 2 were okay. All 3 orders were in the 45-49.99 USD range Two of the orders were 2 elites per box. The order I got dinged on was 1 Battlepack with 1 elite. Ridiculous. No way to predict...

Found the whole Endgame set at Walmart in Bellingham, WA this week. Only grabbed Iron Patriot and Iron Man...considered Valkyrie and Heimdall but passed for now.

Kinda weird they Booker has both the referee arms and legs while Kofi just comes with the alternative hands.

I hope this is true. I need Ciampa and Ricochet. Rock as well, but I think that's a Target exclusive? I'd get Ciampa. Rock is a Target exclusive but I thought I had heard Bill stated US exclusives would come to TRU in Canada. Could be wrong on that. But I do need that Rock too. Well...we got Backlund so there’s a chance I suppose.

Grabbed a Shelton chase today. Also an extra Backlund. Still waiting for both of these to hit Vancouver ... They had both at TRU in Surrey last week. I grabbed the chase Shelton but left the Backlund.
