i think i'm paranoid cause i think that people are always watching me looking/buying the figures. that's why i usually take my girlfriend along and have her carry the fig. some cashier in different stores started noticing who i am and that i collect them. been thinking about talking to them and see if they can hook me up when they get new merch.

I always get looks when I am buying wrestling figures in stores. But usually it's cause I found a figure that excites me so much that I rip off my pants and I start to jerk it while buying the figure.

It is weird, I have read these posts since I first got on the board, and I have never gotten a laugh, a second look or anything. If I did I would just brush it off or not care enough to react, who is anyone to judge me or any of us for buying toys?

I guess I just don't care cause I don't notice. Ditto.

Well, I can afford to collect almost any WWE Mattel I want on a modest salary because I don't have kids to buy toys for (yet). In fact, who's to say you aren't buying them for some kid anyway? Nevertheless, I can handle the looks so long as I get the fig I want.

If I buy more then 5 or 6 figures at a time, I start a casual conversation to the cashier like "oh do you know anything about wrestling" and whatever she saids ill be like "hmmm i wonder if my nephew would like these" and thats it.
Not that I care what people think, I just think its funnier to engage someone in a conversation thats all b.s.

Every time some teenagers see me walk into TRU as it's not "cool" for other teens to go into TRU. I hate Scotland for that

I use the story...it's for my cousin. But what really makes me mad is when they pick up the figure by the edge of the packaging scan it, and put it in the bag. It ruins the card as i keep them in the package. I had to yell at one Wal Mart lady when she did this to my 1/1000 Randy Orton WM figure.

I had one little kid ask him mom: "Mom, why is he looking at these toys?!"
I just chuckled.. She seemed to not care and just said "I don't know sweetie" or something along those lines... Curiosity of a child, didn't bother me much.

Sometimes when I go into toys stores I feel like I am getting looked at because I am a 26 year old dude who is looking at toys, sometimes I feel weird buying them because I felt like the person ringing me up was saying to themself "boy this dude is too old to be buying toys". I perfer to order them online from Ringside or somewhere else.

i have to honestly say i did a little dance in the aisle at TRU when i got EG Undertaker,since it was pretty much my most wanted figure EVAH at that point! i really didn't give a sh*t what anyone thought at that point.... i'm going to be 37 in May,and,you know,i'm too old for worrying about other people's hangup's....
back last Jan., i found a whole bunch of Basic 1 and 2-packs at a K-Mart about 30 miles from here...lady at the register made a comment to me about spending my money on better things...i just channeled my inner Rock and told her "It doesn't Matter what you think!" ,and that shut her right up....

If you are afraid to buy figures in public then you shouldn't be buying them. You just have to laugh things off. I had a cashier last week ask if I wanted a gift reciept. I said no, and she jokingly said "your gonna play w/ them." I just said"yep, for me" w/ a laugh and that was that.
