Had to get this bad boy today. Totally needed this sumbitch in my taker collection Which toys toys toys did U get him from? 40 bucks isn't bad at all considering we didn't get him or Kane in Canada. Yea man, I'd consider getting Kane at this price if they have him. Seems like Amazon US also has Kane at $20. I wonder how much the shipping is.

Today, I was able to meet Balls Mahoney at one indy show, and then Mr. Kennedy, Sweet Daddy Siki, and Santino Marella at the Destiny wrestling show. First, I'll share my experience with Mahoney: Balls Mahoney was at the Deathproof wrestling indy event. VIP doors opened at 5:30, and I was hoping Mahoney would be there signing already. I did not pay for admission, but first decided to talk to the people who worked there. Last time, they let my dad and I in for free because I was only there for autographs. We were hoping the same thing would happen today. It did happen. The door lady went to the back and asked for Mahoney. She then came back out and told us "Mahoney will be coming out and signing soon, but you would have to buy a picture for $10". I said that it was no problem, and thanked her. Right away, Mahoney came out with a marker in hand, along with someone else who worked with Deathproof. They explained the same thing the lady said, where I would have to buy a picture. I first opened my encyclopedia to his section, and he signed it. I then opened up to the "Xanta Claus" section, and he seemed surprised at it. He smiled and said "oh wow!". I explained to him that I was a big wrestling fan, and had him sign more stuff. He signed a 2007 program, as well as the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD. He also signed my 2008 Yearbook magazine. Funny thing about this was that he was really confused by it. He looked at it and tried to read it, but the lighting in the area wasn't too great, so he grabbed the magazine and walked a few meters away to where there was better lighting and read his little section. Thought that was funny. As he signed my stuff, the handler he was with actually recognized me and my dad, and asked "weren't you guys here earlier this year to meet Corino". I responded "yeah! We were here for the Iron Sheik too!". Balls Mahoney then exploded.. "The Iron Sheik?! What a mother******, what a piece of **** jabroni!". He said that all in good fun, which I thought was hilarious. After he signed my stuff, we posed for a picture. Before my dad took the picture, my dad yelled out "Iron Sheik!". Mahoney then started jokingly swearing again lol. After the picture, he tried to sell me some of his DVDs, to which I responded that I would consider it. We thanked each other and I then heard the handler say "you better hide so that other people don't come to you for autographs yet". This meant that they brought out Mahoney for me, and me only, which was great! Overall, Balls Mahoney was a lot nicer that I expected. The staff for the Deathproof indy shows are also extremely friendly, considering that they let me in for free again just to get autographs. Deathproof shows are 19+ events, I'm 18, but the handler with Mahoney told me: "hey, man. Next time, just message me on Facebook and I can let you watch the show as long as you promise me that you don't drink!"... Well, I don't have Facebook, and I really only want autographs, but that was nice of the guy to say that. After, we went straight to Santino's gym for Destiny World Wrestling, where Mr. Kennedy would be wrestling. A few surprises ended up happening. First, an unadvertised Eric Young made a run-in after the first match, so that was cool. Also, Sweet Daddy Siki was in the audience. I had to wait until intermission to meet Mr. Kennedy. I did not mind this because I actually do enjoy the wrestling at Destiny shows. Right at the end of the last match before intermission, I quickly made my way over to the merchandise area and was third in line for Mr. Kennedy's table. Once intermission was announced, Mr. Kennedy came out about five minutes later and got his stuff set up. He was charging $10 per autograph and photo-op. I needed three autographs, and a photo with him, so I paid $40. He first signed my encyclopedia and TNA program. As he signed them, I explained to him that I met him back in 2009 for the Behind Enemy Lines DVD signed at Best Buy. He said "Oh yeah! that was the movie I co-starred in!". I then had him sign my magazine with a gold paint marker, which came out great. After he signed everything, we posed for a picture and I thanked him. It took me a while to gather all my stuff, and when I finally did, and quickly said "thanks again!", to which he responded "thank you too, buddy!" Just like the first time I met him, Mr. Kennedy was pretty nice. I then went and found Sweet Daddy Siki. I originally was going to ask for a picture with him because I already had him sign the encyclopedia when I met him last year, but he actually had 8x10 photos, and they looked awesome, so I bought one for $10. He asked for my name, and I told him that my name is "Alex". He responded: "A-L-I-C-E?". I then said "no, it's Alex, A-L-E-X". He responded: "ohhhhh! Alex!". He then began to sign the photo. As he did so, I talked to him about meeting him at The Duke (the bar where he works) last year. He told me that it was nice to meet me again. After he signed it, we posed for a picture. After the show, I was able to catch Santino and had him sign my 2007 program. As always, Santino was very nice. Thanks for reading! Mick Foley will be at the next Destiny show, which will be on January 31.

Got the real scale cell in the mail today for $60 shipped. I honestly have no use for it but couldn't pass. It's massive. The mats are probably my fave feature.

I remember seeing it at WM for $99 back when it came out and I really wanted it. Never ended up getting it tho I also remember seeing the real scale Chamber at TRU. It shelf warmed for years until they all went missing one day...

Nice autographs Champ! I met Nattie twice before and i'm sure she'll make more appearances over the next few years so I didn't need to go to this one. Still holding out hope that there's an autograph signing when the house show comes in a few weeks.

I've sent a message to the seller asking him where he got the figure. He's from Vancouver Island, so it's possible these have landed in BC!!

Alright...just got back from town. Man, great day of hunting...unexpected surprises. Last night, after a long night at work, I went home to get ready for bed, and happened to find this information that the latest Hall of Fame was hitting...and it had been found in Canada. Pardon??!! Upon further investigation, I realized the ebay seller was in my neck of the woods (Vancouver Island) and so headed out to my local figure haunts. Walmart had nothing new since last week, Toy Traders is still sitting on a pile of older Elites, many of them great figs, but none of which I need. Then I swing by TRU...and it gets good. I will say this...the amount of warning labels on these things...particularly that Dibiase is getting absurd!! Jimmy Hart was the only figure I was after (now that Cactus has been removed from the series). They had the least of him, but I was able to pick him up. Also, I had a rain-check from the last WWE Sale, which I didn't have high hopes they would honor since this wasn't technically a regular Elite figure, however...they did!! Saved me $10!! Very happy to add another Legendary Manager to my collection...even if I am now realizing that the actual amount of guys we have that The Mouth of the South managed is pretty slim (getting IRS will add Money Inc in a few months I spose...REALLY hoping for Nasty Boys to be announced soon). Savage and DiBiase are decent figs, but I already have all the Money and the Macho I need. Felt like a good figure hunting day indeed!!
