Just received the remainder of my TRU.com order - BOPPV Elite HHH and free Undertaker 20-0.
Overall i'm pretty happy with my experience of ordering from TRU.com and will defo use again if needed. I've had no customs charges, and although delivery has taken a good couple of weeks, its still come quicker than a Raw Entrance Stage from a US ebayer, and Legends Tully from Mattycollector, all of which I ordered at the same time.
Hope the rest of you get your orders without a hitch like I have.

I got my Cell playset from TRU.com about a week ago now.
Still no sign of my free Undertaker and Elite Best of PPV Triple HHH I ordered with it.
Paid no customs on the Cell.

Bradford TRU had a massive amount of E17 in - several full sets. Also 2 full pegs of 20-0 Undertaker.
Loads of Battle-Packs, including a few oldies (D-X, Carlito/Primo, Jericho/Steamboat).
Tons of Basics too covering several recent series'
Just a shame we've never had the BAF Elites in - saw them on TRU.co.uk at weekend and regret not getting Punk or HBK as both are now sold out. Really want these 2.
Does anyone know if Leeds/Birstall TRU has these BAFs in???

Received the Cell playset from TRU.com today.
No customs charge!!!
It came in a huge box that was far too big for it, was hoping it had my Undertaker and HHH figs I ordered too but they must be coming separately.
Also the i-parcel tracking still shows it as being in Indianapolis?!?! so it was a nice surprise when it arrived.

My TRU.com order has arrived in the uk and tracking says they have given it to royal mail which might be bad news for those who paid over £15 cos of custom fees Yeh, Parcel Force delivered my Elimination Chamber last year I ordered from the US and I got a £27 customs charge.

Picked up the only B23 Kane they had, plus a Hunico. They had no Alicia Fox's.

Ordered some xmas pressie's today for my son. From TRU.com bought The Cell playset with free Undertaker 20-0 figure, plus got an extra BOPPV Elite Triple H. If I may ask, how much was shipping? I was tempted to get The Cell playset as well (seeing it's on offer right now and you get that 20-0 Taker free), but when I saw how much they were going to charge me for shipping (EUR 48,- = GBP 38,50) I didn't want it anymore Think I paid about £78 total for the Cell playset w/ free Undertaker, and a BOPPV Triple H Elite.

Awesome photo (...wasn't your son scared of Kane at all? I would have been at that age!). I'm loving Kane's T-shirt too. No he wasn't scared at all, even shook his hand too. He really enjoyed seeing them both, he hasn't taken his signed belt off since yesterday.

Made a trip up to Gateshead Smyths today for the Kane/D-Bry signing. Picked up BO2012 Daniel Bryan and a Sheamus Brawlin Buddy for my son. Here he is below getting his tag belt signed by Team Hell No - they were really cool with him, Daniel Bryan thought he was a little sweetie, lol. Better result than last year when I took him to see Zack Ryder and Kofi Kingston where he just cried cos he didn't want his photo taken.

TRU Exclusive Undertaker appeared at Bradford TRU today - picked one up along with an E17 Mankind for Christmas for my boy.
The Taker figure was £19.99 and no promo just yet like the RTWM Rock last year (free with £30 spend).

Decided to spend the last bit of cash I had on the some "Malphs Clothing" Brought - The Miz - Haters love me t-shirt $7.99 Zack Ryder t-shirt $7.99 First time Ive ordered from him, anyone know how long delivery takes? Anywhere between a week or 2 - absolute top quality stuff, I've ordered loads from him over the past 2 years.

Does anyone reckon Smyths Newcastle will keep a couple of tickets aside to pick up on the day if I phone?? I'm travelling up from Leeds with my son but won't be able to get there anytime before the day itself. Or if anyone is local to there, any chance you could pick up an extra 2 tickets would be much appreciated. I picked a couple up today and it looked like there was a load left but they release another batch on the day of the signing so if u get there early on the day u should have no problems, i think its meant to be only 2 per person aswell Cheers - i've just phoned them now and they have put me away 2 tickets for me and my son to pick up on the day. The guy I spoke to was very helpful, and he also said that there will be a Smyths opening up soon in Leeds, so hopefully next year there will be a signing a bit closer to home.

Last year The Rock figure was one of the first WM figs to come out - then they had an offer where it was free if you spent £30.
If I remember right it was the Stone Cold figure that appeared a bit later after the first wave of WM Elites.
Hopefully we get Undertaker and a restock of the WM build-a-figs. Still not managed to pick any of them up.

I'm after picking up the Mattel Raw Entrance stage for my son's xmas present, and possibly the Hell in a Cell playset too if I can afford it.
Has anyone bought one shipped from the US, or looked into buying them? Just after a guide price for them, and any help where might be best to get them.
I've seen the stage shipped for about £80-£85 total, but cannot find the Cell shipped for any less than £100. I'm conscious that I might get stiffed with customs fees too.
I paid about £85 to get the Elimination Chamber shipped last Christmas from the US, and got a £24 customs fee on top of that.
Doubt we'll see them in any UK stores before the end of the year.

Went into Bradford TRU yesterday - they've had no elites in for ages. Was amazed to see a full set of E17 fresh out of the box! Picked up Mankind. Only need Kelly Kelly and Sheamus now from this set. Still not seen the WM Elites at Bradford, heard Leeds had them in at some point but didn't have chance to go. Cheers for that - will have to try and get there some point this week. Leeds did and still have them. Just been in now and they have at least 1 of each of them and lots of Elite 17!
