Well today, I made another trip to my nearest TRU, hoping to find the new BOPPV. Found out from another member here, that they had them last week, but I was a freaking day early. Figured with Friday being truck day, maybe they'd get a new batch in. No luck there, but was shocked when I ended seeing a new bunch of E17 on the pegs. I ended up getting Mankind, Kelly and Ryder. I was trying to decide between Ryder and Kofi, and ended up with Ryder, since I figured down the line, he may be a bit harder to find than Kofi if I didn't get him then. So I bring that stuff to my truck and then go to Big Lots, that is right next door to TRU, hoping they may have some legends, since they seem to have been getting them in lately. The ended up having series 6, but only the Von Erichs, unfortunately, since I was hoping for Warrior or Guerrero. I still ended up getting Kerry and his Texas Tornado counterpart. Afterwards I went to the Walmart down the street, no luck there, and Target, again no luck, but in Target, I ended up seeing my first figure switch. I've seen stuff with parts, and in one case, the whole figure stolen, but this was the first actual switch I can recall seeing.

Lucky find on Texas tornado, I'd love to be able to pick one up. The elite 17 figures are fantastic, mankind especially.

That's actually a half-way decent figure swap. At least it is an Elite and of the same wrestler. It's too bad people have to do this because you know it is some old grandma or a mom buying these switcharoos for their kids b-day or X-mas presents. What a letdown on both ends. The kid is bummed because he gets an old crusty figure and the grandma, who thought she found the figure her grandchild was looking for, ends up being wrong. It really does stink. I wish that Mattel would just put the Elites in the same packaging as the basics. Yeah, people can sill steal them, but at least you can tellif the packaging was tampered with.

thought Ryder was the best in e17 but seeing mankind in person had changed my mind about that.

Im being smited by the figure gods currently.... I know how that can be. Earlier in the year I probably had maybe 2 months where I was finding nothing new.
