I stopped by TRU earlier today and managed to find the last figure I needed in order to build Big Johnny.
I managed to complete Big Johnny just in time for Cena to pull an X-7 and ally with him this Sunday.
The IC belt is sweet and I gave it to Barrett, though chances are that he'll lose it to Miz of all people.
I also received Live Event Cena and E11 Cena in the mail.
So Big Johnny is now complete and the hunt for Teddy Long is on. Thanks for looking.

I stopped by TRU earlier today in the hopes of getting BoPPV Christian, but all I found were a bunch of Celtics Cenas.
I did find a lone E20 Punk, but I decided not to pick him up since I didn't really want him. If I change my mind, I figured I could just pick him up from Amazon or MattelShop when they pop up. It looks like a great figure in person though. Speaking of MattelShop, my E20 Christian arrived just shortly before making this update.
I was so excited that I pretty much tore him out of the box without snapping a picture. Luckily, I ended up getting the variant shades so that was a nice surprise.
Edge and Christian look amazingly goofy together! I got Edge last February when it was unlikely we would ever get a flashback Christian. I'm glad we were able to get one to reunite E&C so kudos to Mattel for that. I'm still on the lookout for BoPPV Christian so I can get that IC title and to also finish Big Johnny. Flashback HBK and Liz were up on MattelShop about two weeks ago and the rest of E19 got put up this week. Since Christian got put up last week, I'm hoping the rest of E20 follows suit in the coming weeks. Thanks for looking.

I went to TRU earlier today before classes and I managed to find Red Cara. There were a bunch of Cenas and Sheamuses (Sheamusi?) but sadly no Christian. I also picked up Neca's Chell from Portal 2. When I came home from classes a couple of minutes ago, I was surprised to see a box in my front door and inside was RSC Austin!
Sin Cara's a pretty sick figure and it's my first one of him. I'm one step away from finally building Big Johnny!
What I think is pretty cool is that Chell's portal gun actually lights up. There's a little button on the underside that turns the lights on and off. It only lights up one color, but hell, this is already pretty damn awesome!
I think the headscan on RSC Austin has a better likeness than the older Stone Cold. Yeah, Austin very rarely smiled, but it is what it is. The belts are cool too and if you want him (or any other figure) to hold belts on both shoulders, you can clasp the little button things on opposite sides behind him, like in the picture below.
All in all, this was another great day to be a collector. Thanks for looking.

So I stopped by K-Mart but the place didn't have much. There were only two E18 Reys and an E16 Orton along with a bunch of old basics. I did buy a TTTT Cena. I had last year's BoPPV Cena laying around so I decided to do a quick fix-up. I think it looks pretty neat, at least by Cena figure standards.
Just right now, my Miss Liz and B26 Kane figures arrived from Mattelshop.
I'm glad Macho Man can stand next to his girl and Miss Liz can stand next to her man on the shelf.
I'm super excited to get another Kane figure to add to my ranks.
I also managed to snag an E20 Christian from Mattelshop and it'll be here sometime next week. Thanks for looking.

Hey guys, I stopped by TRU today and usually I don't find much at this store, but I got pretty lucky today.
The Iron Man figure is great. I'm used to his recent figures being the size of a scrawny teenager, so I'm glad he's relatively close in height to Cap. Now I just need a Hulk figure.
Cena is an alright figure, but I still prefer E17 Cena. The green does pop on the shelf, though I'm not sure if that's a good thing since he sticks out like a sore thumb with this attire. It looks a lot nicer in person than in pics though.
Sheamus is a great update but I might keep E13 on the shelf though since he has that attire (or something close to it) again.
And here are all the parts I got.
I'm hoping I can find Christian for the IC belt and I'm also looking forward to Big Johnny once he's built of course. I used a $10 coupon I got in the mail so all three figures came out to $47 and change. I also ordered Liz and Basic 26 Kane from MattelShop earlier this morning thanks to a heads up from a fellow board member. I don't always get basic figures, but when I do, I get basic Kanes.
Thanks for looking.
