As figure collector, I have always felt fortunate......I live in Columbia, SC-which is the largest city in state.....within a 10 mile radius, there are 8 stores around me which sell figs: 4 WalMarts, a KMart, 2 Targets and the only TRU in the entire city. Usually I have no trouble finding any fig at retail, but here lately......my local TRU has really let me down and seemingly has turned into one of those many of you complain about.
My store does have the floor display, although its empty.....I have yet the see the new BOPPV 2 and now as the new E 17 are hitting....I still see the same old collection of Cena figs and at least 4 each of BOPPV 1.
Although I did see some E 16 figs about a month ago-never saw the Kevin Nash fig. Most of the Walmarts around just opened new boxes which were half Elite 15 and Elite 16....they had R-Truths, Sin Caras, Mark Henrys and Zeke figs.....nothing else. I would not have believed that sealed boxes would have half and half figs, yet I personally opened one, thinking it was a E 16 box, thinking I had found a Nash....only to be denied.
Here are some photos of the only 2 figs I have gotten lately:
I finally got an Arn.....I tried the leg switch I had seen others do, as I agree these legs are too skinny for the Enforcer. I wish it had the wind breaker jacket he wore as a Brain Buster.
and I also received this:
I was disappointed as the carding was bent....I usually don't open these mail-away figs, however if the carding is this bent.....its not worth much either way. Perhaps if my TRU ever gets anything else new, I can buy enough to get one more COO fig before the Nov. deadline is up
Gotta go-College Game Day is in town and on the air.....Go Cocks!
