Anything good at the TRU in Cary? No. I found Basic 23 in SunCoast in Cary mall today though. Who all did they have?

Now looking at everything maybe it was basic 18... Did the bubble or plastic portion of the packaging have a Raw Supershow logo instead of a standard WWE logo?

Did anyone venture out to the grand opening for Shock Factor MMA in Charlotte earlier today? I did and got to meet Ken Shamrock! He signed the Classic Superstars Series 11 figure that I brought with me! Super nice guy with a hell of a life story to say the least. Nothing much more to it other than a seminar which I couldn't take part in with my broke hand (cleared next week though)!
At any rate, I didn't do hardly any figure hunting or at least came across anything of importance.
However, last night, I scored an Elite 17 Mankind and Kelly Kelly from the Winston Wal-Mart in the University area! Thanks Poindizzle! ;D
All in all, a great day as I got to meet one of my favorite wrestlers today despite not finding any other new figures. Off to the Fozzy concert tomorrow in Winston! Anyone else going?

Just went to TRU in Concord. Bouy, that place sucks. It's generally decent, but has been lacking the last couple of months. They had two cases of the new Pay-Per-View Elite Series last time I was there, but that was it.

Fox Valley mall/westfield mall sears had elite 16 diesel and slater. Toys R Us had Undertaker 20-0 elite. Got mankind and Ryder at walmart yesterday if anybody wants those and would consider selling my kevin nash for $35. Also, have elite 18 (from ringside) and will sell anybody from elite 18 for 45 a figure. Frustrated right now. I called Sears this morning, they said there were two Diesels. I asked them to hold one for me and left my house right away. Got there 30 minutes later and no one can find the Diesel that was on hold for me. And the other one that they said was there was gone as well. Two managers called every register and all the people who worked those registers that morning. Couldn't find them anywhere. What happened to the Diesel they were holding for me?! Anyhow, during their search the manager brought some more basics out. Hornswaggle and Jindar Mahal if anyone is looking for them. I'm out of state, but had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago at a Kmart store. Supposedly, the employee working toys there was going to hold a TNA figure for me. However, I got there and it was no where to be found in the store. The employee more than likely bought the figures instead in both of our cases. That's just the risk of calling around though...it educates them to what is sought after...

I've yet to see any sign of it other than a random case they got in weeks ago at the Winston Toys "R" Us. I broke down and picked up Elite 16 Rock and CM Punk's new dvd from the Kmart in Thomasville. They had a random array of figures from various series along with the shipper, but nothing was newer on the regular aisle than the contents of the shipper. I also picked up an Elite 16 Heath Slater that I hid a month ago at the Asheboro Wal-Mart, lol! That is an awesome figure up close! For anyone interested, they had leftovers from Wrestlemania Heritage and Basic 19. There was a lone Elite 16 Randy Orton there too (second run version where the color of his facial hair is the same as his regular hair, I've got the first run version where his eyebrows are more of a red color than brown). All in all, a decent, but tiring day for me as I went to both the Barbecue Festival here in Lexington and also a car show in Asheboro. I did find some decent Elite scores though! ;D

Hi all, I went to Dollar General yesterday and saw a few Mattel WWE Legends, Ultimate Warrior, Kerry Von Erich,Texas Tornado, Kevin Von Erich.I didn't have the extra funds to buy any, but cool prices at $9 each. I noticed you live here in North Carolina. What town/city was this at?

The Toys "R" Us in Concord got them in as well, which is why I ventured back up to that area today. Here is a brief rundown of what I saw and bought:
Concord TRU: -As mentioned, the 20-0 Undertaker was in stock there! Only three remained after I bought mine. However, I must warn that two out of the three have damage to the packaging from box cutters. At any rate, the figure and packaging are awesome and make it a must have! -On the top of the shelf, there is two boxes that are labeled as Best of Pay-Per-View Series 2 for anyone interested! They look to be unopened.
The Wal-Mart stores in the area had nothing new and were a waste of time, energy and gas (figures)...
On another note, I picked up some Legends figures from various Big Lots stores between Salisbury and Concord this past weekend. I picked up Iron Sheik, Kamala and British Bulldog since the price was so reasonable! My girlfriend is picking me up the rest of Series 6 for part of my birthday!
All in all, the trip was worth it today as the Taker figure is awesome to say the least and well worth the effort in going to get it!

On a tip, I headed up to the Winston Toys "R" Us. Here is a brief rundown of what I saw and bought:
Winston TRU: -Boom, Elite 17! I was able to score one out of the 2 figures I need from the series being Sheamus! They had one more Sheamus, 2 John Cena's and 1 Kofi Kingston left. FOREWARNING, the remaining Sheamus has terrible paint. Anyway, it is a great figure despite the belt not being the correct version of the World Heavyweight Title...! -Remains of Best of Pay Per View Elite 2. There was only one each of Miz and Big Show left.
Target off Hane's Mall Boulevard: +WOW, they actually had something new in stock...! -2 of the new Champions 4-packs. -Remains of Basic 21. They only had Big Show, Jack Swagger and Miz from what I can remember. -Elite 15. There was 2 Sin Cara, one Mark Henry, one Rey Mysterio and one Evan Bourne.
All in all, that was about it for my hunting today, but I was stoked to get Elite 17 Sheamus. One more to go and I am done with the set!

Score! I hit the mother f'n mother load today! Here is a brief rundown of the new stuff that I saw and bought!
Kannapolis/Concord/wherever the hell it is located Target: -3 of the new Champions 4-packs with Rey Mysterio, Rock, Stone Cold and John Cena! I picked up one and left the others! -Something that I have yet to see in this state. One loan Global Superstars John Cena in light camo instead of the usual dark! I never thought I would ever see one at retail, but it was on my list so I bought it! Oddly, there wasn't anymore Basic 20 in stock.
Concord Toys "R" Us: -1 each of the new Best of Pay-Per-View-Elites! I bought the whole set of CM Punk, Miz, Shawn Michaels and Big Show! I have to say, they all look much better in person! +Nothing else new at this particular TRU.
That was virtually it as far as figure hunting since I was exhausted from school, a meeting and that long drive to the Concord area. It was worth it though, as I am caught up with everything from retail for the moment!

Target in Durham near Toys R Us has that new Champions 4-Pack (Target Exclusive). Pikced 1 up yesterday. Damn, I was hoping we would get at least one updated figure and not repaints. Another damn camo Cena. Oh well, at least it is unique and comes with different versions of the WWE title! I'll pick one up!

I forgot to post up, but I made a couple of scores over the last week at the Wal-Mart off Hane's Mall Boulevard in Winston. I picked up one of the Battle Packs 18 Zack Ryder/Dolph Ziggler sets that they had in stock last week, along with a Basic 18 Kelly Kelly and Cody Rhodes. I was going to skip that series, but decided not to as they won't make anymore 'Raw Super Show' sets. Both Ziggler and Rhodes are solid figure!
Fast forward to yesterday and I went back and picked up John Cena from the set and that was all they had left of Basic 18. Now, I just need Sin Cara and I am done with the series! I thought I would mention that they also had multiples of CM Punk/Triple H, but no one else from Battle Packs 18.
All in all, yet another great week of figure hunting and off to get Sin Cara tomorrow!

After a solid month of findings, I come across yet another! Tonight I scored the Battle Packs 18 CM Punk/Triple H from the Concord Toys "R" Us! That is all they had oddly enough from the series, but they did have leftovers from Basic 19 and a ton of Battle Packs Sin Cara/Daniel Bryan and Rock/John Cena. Punk's attire looks great and the Triple H was probably the best that Mattel has made so far in wrestling attire. Also, I scored a Round 5 Championship Edition Dominick Cruz to add to the Championship Edition Anderson Silva I picked up at the Winston TRU just last night! They had 2 Silva's as well in Concord for anyone interested. That brings my collection of Championship Editions up to 8 in all! ;D
They had nothing else worth mentioning.
I hit a couple Wal-Mart stores in the area and didn't come across anything new.
All in all, a short, but sweet trip! I knew about the Battle Pack and was hesitant about driving that far to get it, but with seeing the CM Punk/John Cena set somewhat flying off the shelves around here, I went for it! Luckily, the Round 5 figure made the trip worth it!

I met and got a pic with Chris Jericho on Tuesday. He was hosting a metal show in Raleigh. Pretty cool stuff. Was it at an FYE or at the metal show?
