Another TRU tale...... Jul 6, 2011 15:46:53 GMT -5

Post by Wagdaddy on Jul 6, 2011 15:46:53 GMT -5

Just got back from the beach, celebrating the 4th....before I went Sunday, I hit the local TRU to see what they had in the way of figs for the Vinnie Mac Promo.....I went back to the action figs section, no display-then went up and asked a guy I kinda know and he knew about it, said it was in the back...so he called another guy to bring it out. I waited for about 10 minutes and then this other guy wheeled it out....so it was cool getting to be the first guy to dig thru the display since no other customers were in the store. I was disappointed they still had the same Rock/Warrior DMs in the promo, would have liked to seen the Austin/Taker ones there....same with the Legends 5, as I really want all of the Legends 6 figs....anyway, here is what I got:

I got 2 more Macho Mans to do some fix-ups....wanted the Miz fig to get the belt and that was all I really wanted for myself....however since I have to buy 4 figs to qualify for the give the giveaway fig, I picked up a Zack Ryder.....honestly, I have NO IDEA of who this guy is-I rarely watch Smackdown, so I suppose he is on there, as I have never seen him on TV. From reading the forum boards, I understand that many collectors want this fig-so I should have no problem trading or selling it...I have it listed on my trading page (link below) so hit me up if you are interested.
For those of you interested, today I hit TRU and Target stores on the way back from the beach-both had the McMahon displays (but no Zack Ryder figs)...several Basic 11 figs....and at one Target, I saw a Velvet Skye fig on a peg for the first time!

-Peace out,

That's an oxymoron, isn't it?

WRONG...I am an internet figure collector fan but an OLD SCHOOL WRESTLING FAN. I personally don't care for many current days "Superstars"....they all have tattoos, all look the same, all act the same.....I like personalities-no one else acted like Randy 'Macho Man' Savage....no one else talked liked the 'Nature Boy' Ric Fair.....although I was never crazy about Hogan-no one ever drew money like he did until SCSA came along.....and look up who his favorite wrestlers are: all old school ones too.

If you younger guys like the newer wrestlers better than the older "Legends" wrestlers......that is cool with me, no problem-to each his own, however for every kid who doesn't like Ric Flair there is some older fart (like me) who doesn't know who Zack Ryder is.

Although thinking back I do vaguley remember him in a storyline with Fox when Ashton Kutcher was guest GM.

But I had basically stopped watching until recently. Maybe he will become a star, WWE needs some more if you ask me.
