I see both sides but this has all got a bit silly, the bitching about the problem has taken up more pages than the problem itself. I personally think any Star Wars stuff should have gone in the Star Wars thread, but I also think that deviating from the topic occasionally is healthy and isn't a big deal. Also, all this coincided with 'Force Friday' (IE: a one day thing), so I feel like common sense should have prevailed and it should have been allowed to slide (especially since, like I said, people complaining and arguing seems to have drawn the whole thing out longer than it needed to be)

Smyths have reduced Battlepacks 47 Roman and Rusev, Hart Foundation and Sasha and Charlotte to £17.99
I know my local gets deliveries on Wednesday and Friday, so I guess Jericho could land any time from tomorrow onwards, looking forward to that one!

Tough Talkers ring reduced to £25.99 in Smyths (not sure if that's a new reduction) Basic 76 due in on the 20th October - 30th October Still waiting on any of the North West Smyths to get Basic 74. Picked up Kane from Toys R Us as a placeholder, but hoping to find another that doesn't look like it was painted by a seven year old Is a bad paint application a common problem with them? I was at TRU Luton yesterday and didn't see a single Kane. Just want to know if it's something I can take home and fix-up a little myself. To be fair, I got the only Kane there, and he wasn't too bad actually, my seven year old comment was a little harsh now I have him in hand again, but the mask has some missing paint and a splodge (solid technical term) on the chest. I saw someone else on the main Mattel board say they'd seen several with pretty poor paint apps though

Aesthetically speaking, the wrestling machine era look was my favourite. So badass

Got the Dark Knight Batman Pop Vinyl from Asda for £10, they also had those WWE Mystery Minis on clearance for 25p each. Three left so I got them to put in eBay orders

Bought my first lot of Basics since the price increase...
Brock (who I was on the fence about) has one leg longer than the other. Feeling somewhat aggrieved right now

Don't need a picture as such but does the Universal title that came with Big Kev fit on Basic 75 Brock?

Basic 75 appears to be trickling into Smyths stores now. I imagine Basic 74 can't be far behind:
For your convenience...
Basic 75 Chris Jericho Braun Strowman Lana Randy Orton Finn Balor Brock Lesnar
Basic 74 Kane Bayley John Cena Neville Samoa Joe Roman Reigns

Aw man I used to watch his stuff when I was about 13 on UK Gold, I looked a few years ago and couldn't find any DVD's then either

Aw hell, they were still £9.99 yesterday I think (except for Balor)
What's annoying is Bill said in the recent Q&A that accessories were taken from Battlepacks so they could keep them at $20 at US retail. Well we've lost accessories in the Battlepacks and we're about to lose articulation in the Basics and both prices have gone up anyway!

Basic 74 (Kane, Cena, Joe, Roman, Bayley and Neville) now has an arrival date at Smyths - 14th August to 21st August That is the series with the tattoo-less Roman Reigns, right? lol I wonder if it'll be corrected in person. Yeah! Haha. Judging by the Ringside pictures it doesn't look like they were corrected, unless there's a running change. Still not sure how that got past inspection

Slightly concerned about Shamrock being packaged with the robe on, the staining issues seem to be a thing of the past for the most part but that last Elite Rusev suffered from it and apparently red was the worst for it?

They'd have to pay me $5 to take a tito home What's most disappointing to me about owning the Tito figure, I only bought it to get signed at WrestleCon last year in Dallas. Bought his autograph ticket online for $20. Went there, was going to give his guy my pre-purchased ticket, showed him I was getting this figure signed, and he said, "Oh, no, it's $40 for Tito to sign a figure." Of course I could have paid the extra money, but it's the principal of the fact they advertised him as $20/autograph online, and said nothing about paying more just because I was bringing an action figure to be signed... I've seen this mentioned before, I think someone mentioned Vader charging more maybe? I guess it could be because they figure that a signed figure might go for good money on eBay. Still, not cool
