Hi guys, Instead of making a thread I have recently got back into collecting and was wondering if anyone can recommend what UK shops are best to grab elites on? Been on smyths and seen most have sold out but managed to grab that 2002 Elite Jeff Hardy. Appreciate any help. Entertainer is good for some older Elites (wave 50-60ish), Forbidden Planet have a few, as do B&M occasionally.

From previous countless bad experience with amazon i'll never buy figures from them again. Sorry to hear this but I too have never had a bad Amazon experience. In fact, they once emailed me to say my figure had been damaged in transit, was undeliverable and sent me a replacement FOC.

I’ve been relatively lucky too with amazon, just the one figure came damaged. I ordered a chase Elite Curt Hawkins and got sent the regular release so they let me keep it and credited my account with a partial refund. The guy I spoke to on the phone couldn’t have been nicer.

Bit of an odd question, but does anyone know the font used for Terry Funk's "Dusty Sucks Eggs" shirt? I'm trying to make a custom shirt for a figure in that style.

Elite Mandy received from wrestling trader fine. Although at times he does scalp. He does sell some us exclusives though with the markup justifiable, as it would cost pretty much the same to buy direct from the usa anyway.

Nice first time in lines; Velvetine Dream and Shayna Baszler Elites at Home Bargains for £7.99 each. Got a Jeff Hardy Elite for the same price also.
And received in the post a Wrestlemania XV The Rock and Owen Hart twin pack and a Bobby Heenan Jakks Classic Superstars, both from the bay of e.

Got Elite Cedric Alexander from Home Bargains. They only had Rey and Velveteen too, though Dream is coming from RSC which is just typical so I had to leave him.

Doing essential food shop really pays off! I always go to Home Bargains to buy my chocolate and crisps for the week so I went to my local one this morning before going to Aldi for the rest of my shopping. Walked out with an Elite 67 Rey & Chase Jeff Hardy!

My friend Thomas was texting me today and I noticed he had figure cases on all his Elites so I asked him where he got them, he told me a site called Deflector DC and I checked them out and they do Classic Superstars cases. Has anyone who has used them bought the Classic cases and if you have how are they? Ta in advance if anyone can help.

I believe the feedback has been great for them and cheaper than anywhere else. Problem is, I'm gonna need about 200 😅

I mean trying to find Classic cases these days is like winning the lottery, I’ve only ever got them with really rare figures, and trying to find them on sale without a figure I’d near enough impossible. Thankfully I only need 15 cases, but I can imagine 200 will be some target 😅

Got to admit, watching the constant listings of Elite 67 being upload to eBay is quite funny but really sad at the same time. So many people scalping already, and you know it sucks for those looking for them when people are going out of their way to buy everything in the shop just to do it. For the genuine collectors that are looking for them, it's terrible. I don't know why they do it, they can't be making that much money out of it that it's worth it to screw everyone else over.
