Last package showed up today: Very nice gets. Looks like you are collecting the flashbacks. I'm still trying to track down bossman, king booker and Kevin Nash and I'll have all the elite flashback figures. More of a catching up on harder to get figures since I started later on in collecting than others have. Aside from the Mankind, that was just a good trade. My main focus would be Attitude era, but I'm equally trying to get from all periods.

So I met the greatest IC champ of all time today.. Well, not exactly the 'greatest' lol, but I met Shane Douglas today. We arrived just before the PWE indy event was supposed to start and when I walked in, Shane was already there signing autographs, so I went back to the car, got my stuff and went back in. When I got back in, Shane disappeared as the show started. I would have to wait until intermission to meet him. Intermission came and I was first in line at his table. I set up all of my stuff on Shane's table and waited for him to come. The people handling the merch table complimented my stuff and so did a bunch of other people. Shane was still in the back, so fans had to wait a bit. I was talking with a fan behind me and he showed me an awesome ECW poster with a lot of the ECW originals' autographs. Shane finally came and signed autographs. I had 6 items to get signed. He was charging $10 per autograph or 3 for $25; however, I had emailed Shane's manager (the person that handles Shane's bookings) a few weeks ago and was able to score a better deal at $35 for the 6 items. I showed Shane the email and he thanked me for bringing the email along. I paid him the 35 and he started signing. He first signed my IC title. His autograph on it is HUGE. Definitely bigger than how I wanted it. Oh well lol. He then signed my DVD covers. He pointed at Tommy Dreamer's signature and asked "who's autograph is this?" and I said that it was Tommy Dreamer's. He laughed and said "seriously? That's the cheapest looking signature ever! A tee and a few lines? *laughs* I have to bug him about that the next time I see him!" He then signed my encyclopedia: Then my ECW Unreleased DVD in a red paint marker, as per my request And lastly, my ECW belt. I'm really liking how the belt is looking. Shane is the first ECW champion officially recognized by wwe so I had him sign on the very left spot. If you read it like a book (left to right), I will get the last ECW champion to sign it on the very right (hopefully sooner than later lol) so it looks like there's some logic put into the autographs. After he signed all of them, we posed for a picture and thanked each other. Shane was definitely very nice and easy to talk to. He made some jokes and seemed like he enjoyed meeting fans! Also finally found X-Pac today! Thanks guys!

^^ awesome gets champ! Just wondering. Did you get him to sign as Dean Douglas as well? When I met him at wrestle reunion he said that he never signs his name as dean Douglas anymore. Only Shane Douglas. Not sure why. Most guys will sign however you want. The ecw belt is coming along nicely!

Woulda been better for him to sign as Dean on the IC belt, but he signed it as Shane. I've read that he never signs as Dean, except for one time when it was for a dying child. Not sure if that story is true, but from experiences I've read, he never signs as Dean. On a side note, he mentioned that indy wrestling is what the wrestling industry should be all about and that "bimbos" like Dixie Carter shouldn't be in the business lol. Thought that was funny.

So...interesting tibit...might not be anything, but I was shocked. Went into my local TRU to check out the 25% off sale. As expected, NOTHING on the shelves (almost literally, just 4 TRU HHH and one Elite 26 Mark Henry). Decided to do the 'ol rain-check bit, and as the employee was setting it up for me, she mentioned that there were only 63 WWE Elites listed in ALL OF CANADA. I asked her if she was serious, and she said yes, the computer was showing well over 300 WWE Elite BAF and only 63 Elites.
I am a little baffled as to how that is possible. What could this mean? Is it just messed up distribution/stock/ordering at the higher-up TRU levels or what? I'm definitely confused and a little concerned over here. Just as we were celebrating that Walmart has started carrying them again.

I hit up TRU in Regina yesterday and snagged a Rollins/Ambrose set for 25% off to finish off my Shield set. Two of those sets, two Hunter/Bryan sets and 4 or 5 Exclusive Hunters were to be seen. Walmart in the south end did have a case of the new tshirt figures

Managed to make a few additions to my Unmatched Fury collection this weekend. Snapped up Million Dollar Man and Junkyard Dog at an antique store for $9.99 each, and Jake, Sheik and Austin off Craigslist for $30. Shelf getting full, but still a ways to go. Got almost all the golden era guys though (minus Warrior, Slaughter, Honky Tonk, Bret, Razor, Purple Taker and Perfect). A few of those remaining guys are going to be a bitch to find, but I'm in no rush. Good things come...

Yup, he's at the back, just right of the title faceplate. He was another Craigslist find...$5!!

I have a complete set from the Bret Hart series I found at TRU for $5 each plus a Jeff Hardy. I remember seeing a whole 3 shelves full of these at Walmart for $10. They had tons of them including Undertaker and Kane. I still couldn't remember why I didn't pick them up because I really wanted them at the time too... Weird.
