Yea, it's gonna be late Friday too ! I wont leave the plant until 3, or possibly later if we have ot, then I have a 3 hr drive back home. There are plenty of goodies waiting for me when I get there though . Wait?! You have a six hour commute every day!? That has to suck big time. Oh no ! There's NO WAY that I'd do that lol. I moved from there to Tuscaloosa for a job at the Mercedes Plant, so it's my original house that's 3 hrs away. I still have my packages and everything like that shipped there though, because I'll only be in my apt. for a year or until I can sell that house and get one closer to the plant. I couldn't even imagine a 6 hr commute, or how quickly buying the gas for my V8 would cripple my bank account lol

Here are my buys from the last month. My long journey to finding Hitman Punk finally ended when I stumbled upon this amazing figure at my local K-Mart. Luckily, they just put out a fresh cash of E29. At first I thought I hit the jackpot, then I looked at the cardings and saw that all of them had big knife cutter scars from being unboxed. Needless to say, I was pretty heated, because I'm mostly a MOC collector. So, I head over to Target to see that there's a lone E29 Punk on the peg. I planned on getting this figure at K-Mart before I saw the big slash mark through the carding, so I passed. In my opinion, I think Punk is the best of E29. Even though Punk's boots are plain, the figure is still looks great with the hoodie, especially MOC. I've always wanted an E16 CM Punk, but the prices have always been WAY high. I was roaming on the bay, and saw this Punk with a low bid. After watching this sucker for 5 days straight, I won with a $30 bid. This figure is great, and a very iconic look for Punk. I'm glad to have all 3 of these CM Punks to my collection. Now, all I need is the E1, E6, and E11 CM Punk's, lol. Then I'm good! To see a more organized way of seeing my collection, go to page 1. Enjoy!

Nice gets. But that e29 Punk is warming hard in my area. Between 2 Targets yesterday they had 12 of him an nobody else except for one returned repack of an L6 Warrior minus the arm tassels and belt in an e26 box.

Nice gets! I love the E29 CM Punk. I'm glad Mattel FINALLY made a hoodie for him before his deal ran out.

I figured this Punk in particular wouldn't warm so hard since it's his last Elite, especially since he comes with a hoodie. Nice gets! I love the E29 CM Punk. I'm glad Mattel FINALLY made a hoodie for him before his deal ran out. Oh yeah, for sure! The hoodie is what makes the figure. His headscan is spot on too, in my opinion.

October & Early November Buys: (Nov. 12, 2014)October and November have been two slow months for me, and rightfully so. Ric Flair and Batista are simply great. MrPerfect25 hooked me up, and hid Flair during his visit to K-Mart, but those sneaky employees found the stashed Flair. I walked in the figure aisle, and saw ONE Flair left, so I picked it up! I'm assuming it's your Flair, MrPerfect25, so thanks again! If not, thanks anyways! Lol. I bought both Flair and Batista the same day. With that being said, I actually paced around K-Mart for at least 20 minutes debating on if I should buy Batista. "Is this really worth the money?" I obviously ended up buying Batista, Flair was a no brainer. The tattoos on Batista are just outstanding. Even though Flair technically never wore the robe with his sky blue trunks, the robe is a very nice addition. Edge and Zack Ryder was a spur of the moment buy from eBay. I told myself I would buy them if I saw them in stores, but not having Edge of Ryder wouldn't kill me. I ended up paying $7 and some change shipped for both Edge and Ryder together. I basically got one for free, which is great. I like Edge, he's one of my favorite WWE wrestlers, and the trunks on Ryder are incredible. I've always liked Zack with tights better. That's just me, oh well. Anyways, I ended up winning Jeff Hardy on eBay through skribbel24 a couple weeks ago. I got Jeff in the mail 2 two days ago, and was very impressed when I saw Jeff in my hands (like I didn't expect to be in the first place). I didn't expect to win at all, but I'm glad I did! This figure is beyond perfect. The face paint is top notch. Words cannot describe how happy I am that I not only have a custom Mattel Jeff Hardy in my collection, but a Mattel Jeff Hardy that is not frowned upon to talk about! Enjoy!

Die, Rocky, Die! CM PUNK! CM PUNK! (Nov. 24, 2014)
After uploading this photo, I noticed CM Punk's on the outside of the ring. I figured the title I chose was appropriate for Rocky, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Brooks.  I wasn't intending to buy Rocky, but when I walked in Target to see what they had in stock, I was very impressed with Rocky when I saw him on the pegs. Everything about the figure is fantastic. So, I bought it. Plus, the packaging is pretty neat as well. I snagged the only AJ left at my Wal-Mart. Of course she wouldn't scan. I told her that there were tons of basics on the pegs for the same price. Luckily, the cashier was pretty easy going and typed a code in that didn't force them to not sell me the figure.. AJ is probably one of the, if not the best T-Shirt series figure. I love the attire choice, and the ripped t-shirt detail on AJ's back. Overall, it wasn't a huge haul, but I bought two figures I didn't intend on buying! No regrets, because they're great figures and I'm happy to have them in my MOC collection. Now I wait for Elite 32 to hit retail... Enjoy!

I had no intentions of buying that Rocky either but seeing it there, I just kind of grabbed it. It's a good figure. Nice pickups!

I'm not a big Rock fan, so not having Rocky in my collection wouldn't kill me. It caught my eye when I saw it on the peg. The only thing that kills me, is the new WWE logo on the packaging. It looks so ugly. But, Mattel has no control over that haha. I wish that on Flashback figures that there was the WWE logo from that respective era somewhere on the packaging, and have the current WWE logo on the back of the packaging, or a smaller logo on the front. That would be cool. I'm hoping Mattel will make a Nation of Domination Rock soon, haha. Now, THAT I would buy on the spot.

The Snake, Lunatic Fringe, and Rated R Superstar... (Dec. 7, 2014)
When I saw that Jake Roberts and Dean Ambrose would be in a Battle Pack together, I knew I had to pick it up. Dean and Jake's RAW moment was truly an awesome moment to witness. This Battle Pack resembles just that. I hope to get this signed someday. RSC's Exclusive Edge was a disappointment for me. The headscan is awful, and I wish they would fix the issue regarding the hardened jackets in general. They're a pain in the ass. I also wish Mattel painted the studs on Edge's jacket, since it's a RSC Exclusive, ya know. But, I figured this will be the only Edge we'll get with his Rated R title, so I bought it during RSC's Black Friday! I'm keeping both of these gets MOC because the packaging looks so sweet, so my vent was pointless, haha. Enjoy!
