I really wonder if TRU will ever be the same once it does come back....I mean my local has been sat derelict for the last 5 years almost and as of last Friday night I saw it was surrounded and on the verge of being a demolition site....so sad to see. It really hit me then that this comeback will not have the same model of out of town warehouses full of toys. It might be an Entertainer style model at best, it will be unrecognisable to how we remember it in a bid to survive in todays climate.

Received Ultimate Edition Jeff Hardy from Wrestle HQ.
Great upgrade to my Adrenaline 1 figure from all those years ago!

Pretty sad to see this, I hope the independents will continue to stock them.
They might be a bit more of an audience now for the independents to stock these since Smyths and the Entertainer are two huge distribution channels that are no longer stocking them.
I think one of the issues was the gap between the US and us getting them in, sometimes you would wait several months and a lot of collectors now just don't have that patience.

Pre ordered the Ultimate Edition Cody Rhodes from Mattel Creations. Can't believe this figure is a crowdfunding project!

Received a full set of Unrivaled 9. Arguably the best AEW set so far!

Bought Top Picks Rey Mysterio from Smyths, I have never before bought a Top Picks figure due to them at one time being repacks but now they've done something different and done the Batman inspired costume it was one I had to go for.

Bought Elite 94 Bret and Davey Boy Smith from Smyths. Great pair of figures good to see most of the set reach Smyths.

Absolutely fantastic job, it looks better than what any official one could be!

NWO Nash from 2002 is the main one. Especially as the Hall was done as an elite.

I would love to see Bischoff, they've done so many WCW names he's such a noticeable void at this point.

Picked up E91 Hulk Hogan from Smyths, doesn't look like it will come down in price and it's starting to disappear from shelves.

I would have had Triple H wrestle 5 more matches. Those would have been against:
- Drew McIntyre - Tomasso Ciampa - AJ Styles - Adam Cole (if he was still in WWE) - Seth Rollins (have Rollins retire him, storyline wise the history and backstory is there)

I wouldn't want her in AEW, complete prima donna and a pain in the ass to the company that made her a star (WWE)

I love the call back to the original hourglass boxes, for me every box design since has gradually gotten worse.

Nyla never made it to the UK, Archer was the most popular one from that wave here but even that has slowed down. You still see plenty of FTR and Archer on shelves in Smyths. I think the Bucks are the only ones that are mostly sold out.

I think I remember him refereeing Jericho vs Christian at Mania XX in the Garden.
His first since HIAC and ended up being his last, the shoulder injury must have just been too agonising to continue on.
RIP.

I might get 1 or 2 further down the line now they are making the figures unique sometimes and not just straight repacks.
Still considering getting the Jeff Hardy they released in the facepaint.

Basic Noam Dar and Elite Rhea Ripley mainly. Also the Elite 85 Bray stuck around for ages and only just recently gone.
