Apparently I was unaware I had to have pictures in the WF forum. So thanks to Sean, I could post my stuff here. Copied and pasted from my original thread:
"Well I finally got around to getting to TRU after buying a Macho Man Mattel on Friday. Let's see what I got today.
Told the family I was going for a walk. They didn't ask so I didn't tell. I didn't really want to tell since I am 20 come October and thought it would be embarassing to say so. I walked maybe a mile or so or however. TRU is about five minutes away by car, ten or fifteen via walking.
I have $39 by the time I leave and am down to $9.00 now since a guy asked me for .50 for a bus ride but I didn't have exact change so I gave him a buck.
I get there, turns out the Vader I have wanted for a long time is gone but if I had gotten Vader I would not have been able to get Mr. Perfect or Macho Man. No disrespect to Vader, whom I like but I like Hennig and Savage a little bit more.
Sadly, there are no more Macho Man's left. The one I bought I am saving in its packaging un-opened but I still wanted a duplicate so I could open that one.
I also considered a Sheamus, since Sheamus is my favorite wrestler but I didn't like the look of the figure and as mentioned, I am primarily interested in collecting the legends.
So I could ask for a figure of those three for my birthday.
Anyway, onto the purchases. Sadly there was no L6 Warrior or any L6's. I asked the cashier lady if she knew when they were coming in but she had no idea and I had until the 8th for the Vince figure. Oh well. Looks like I'll be one short. He would just be squash fodder anyway since I don't really like the guy.
They have a Bam Bam Bigelow (R.I.P.) figure of L5 and I was able to pick that up. I took the vest off of him since I don't really care for the look but I can always put it back on.
And FINALLY I was able to get my hands on that Rick Martel figure I wanted. And, Ladies and Gentlemen, I can proudly say, your NEW Intercontinental Champion: The Model, Rick Martel! I had him beat I.R.S. for it and both Bam Bam and Martel are on display on my desk next to my Perfect figure, who has had the winged eagle belt ever since I got him. Martel is wearing Perfect's I.C. belt that Perfect came with.
I don't throw out the packaging for my Mattel guys as I opened all three- Perfect, Martel and Bam Bam very carefully and I have saved the packaging for all three.
Not sure how to do pics and it really sucks they were out of Vader/Savage and that I'll have to wait longer for Warrior but what can you do?
By the way- I didn't notice too much of the current guys but I did notice a Miz or Ryder in the elite series.
Thanks for reading guys."
And I also mentioned that they had Akeem but just like how someone said they had never heard of Vader (jokingly asked if that person was a kiddie) but I'm not familiar with Akeem and didn't even hear of him until a few days ago. But I'm only going to get guys I'm into. I'll have to look into Akeem to see if I like him.
