Welp, after hearing about DM Hulk Hogan being spotted in stores, it felt like a good day to go lookin'. First stop was Toys R' Us on University Drive. They're completely bare except for 8 Elites and a Battle Pack, so hopefully when they re-stock, it'll be with E33 !!! Anyways, a scalper apparently got there before I did, because the sticker price was there, however the shelf was empty... I did, however, happen to see a box kinda hidden behind an Elite Scale Ring ... annnnnd BINGO ! I was pretty happy to see that it was indeed the DM Hogan !! . . . . . . . . . . . BUT ... . . . . . . . So, being a MOC Collector, that one really hurts ! I was sitting there debating if I should get it or not, but at close to $30 I just couldn't bring myself to purchase it. I deciding to put it back on the shelf and walk out empty handed, but I was completely dejected yet as I had one hope left. The lonely K-Mart at the corner of literally nowhere. I get there and all 9 of the cars aitting in the parking lot look really suspect and half of the parking lot lights don't even work lol, but I'm figure hunting dammit, so I trecked onward. The entire store looks terrible and I'm not really expecting to find anything, but I walked to the far corner of the store where the toy section is and just as I expected ... nothing. ALL they had were 6 Basic Randy Orton, 2 Basic Corporate Kane and 2 E26 Ultimate Warriors. Figuring that I had just wasted a trip I started to walk off when I seen a lady with a buggy and a box in it. THE only box that she had to stock and it was a case of DM Hogans So, I gladly grabbed one and got the hell outta dodge lol. While I'm not overly impressed with it, it IS Hulk Hogan and it DOES deserve to be in everyone's collection. So, with that being said... I hope that everyone has a great weekend and happy collecting, BROTHER ! #BigBootLegDropPin

Nice find, but isn't this figure more expensive at Kmart?

Such a sweet figure MOC. The lone one I found at my local TRU was mint condition. I was pleased.
