What's the difference between buying a figure at a cheap price and selling for higher than doing it with anything else, say a car, or a house? You usually buy a car or a house because you need them or do work on them before selling them on. I haven't bought a car purely for the fact I knew it was in demand and someone would pay me more money for it. |

Just a heads up, was in Quality Save and they had an Elite 9 Kofi and Gallows. Got the Gallows and now the Straight Edge Society are my tag champs  I know it's not much of a surprise considering they're owned by the same company, but it's nice to know. I'll check in the Quality Save near Manchester City Centre tomorrow, doubt any will be there though. I was gonna get an SES punk of WW but I decided to use the Royal Rumble Heritage because it's from the same era and both figures are wearing black, red and white and I liked the way they looked together. |

Hey guys.
I contacted Home Bargains to enquire about availability in my area (North East) and got the following response:
"Thank you for your query,
I have consulted our buying department with regards to this item, and they have unfortunately confirmed that this item was part of a limited supply, and is no longer available to us. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. However, they have confirmed that, should any further stock become available to us in the future, it will of course appear in-store again at once."
Pretty gutted I missed out on these as I've only just started to collect them and they would have been welcome additions, especially ones witht the elite championship belts. Hopefully if some arrive again I'll catch them before its too late.

In fact of the 7 I got I traded a luke gallows for some other mattels and sold a take rat £25 with three figure belts |

Hopefully if some arrive again I'll catch them before its too late. Head Office said that to me also, they say the same all the time. I ended up getting a list of all the stores in a 30mile radius from the website. Then I contacted every store until I got lucky. I ended up with Undertaker, Drew, Bourne (obviously as he's always the last to go) and Regal. They are happy to reserve for you also, as long as you collect that day!! |

Hello, I'm new here to wfigs (visited fequently for a while though!) Home Bargains has been great to me, I was able to pick up nearly all of Elite 8 and 9 by going to four local HB stores (with the exception of Evan Bourne) Picked up the last one in my local one on Friday (a Kofi Kingston for my nephew!) so I'm guessing that most will be gone by now. I like everyone else hope that they find some more someday!

The three stores near(ish) me seem to have stopped getting them in now... two haven't had any in a couple of weeks (and have removed the price label thingy) and the other one only has the odd Orton and Kofi left. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted (...although I'm still hoping they might suddenly get Series 7 or 10 in - would be nice!).
