The Entertainer had two full pegs of Elite 100 Becky Lynch. The tag on the pegs literally said Becky Lynch Elite so they've not got or aren't getting anyone else from the set, at least in my store. Weird?

Weird? Sounds about right. They likely got them for a discount - if there's one thing the owner loves, it's bulk-buying stock that nobody else wants at a discounted price. It's how he ended up with all of those TNF Elizabeth's.

I might get a Lynch now they have them since I really didn't want to get her from overseas due to the costs involved.

I'm just still trying to process the £28 for an Elite thing.

I'm just still trying to process the £28 for an Elite thing. I don't know if they still do this or not - Nick Hargreaves (who was CFO when I worked there, not sure if he still is) explained it to us when he visited our store - they put things out at a ridiculously high price, so that when they slash the price to 33%, 50% or 66% off, it looks like it's better value and they end up selling more. To abide by trading laws, they have to sell it at the higher price for at least 28 days, before they can do the above.

Back when they got the Honky Tonk Man in that arcade packaging they sold it full price for about 2 days before slashing it which annoyed me immensely. So I bought a new one at the much lower price and then returned it using the original receipt for the full price one. The only time I have ever done that because what they did was so wrong.

I think it's a common thing in retail - I'm in an office role now, and product prices only ever seem to go up there!

That's the beauty of consumer rights law. I recently bought a few figures from smyths that ended up going on clearance, went back and asked if I could return the items and buy them back again, Smyths told me it was absolutely fine.

Smyth's usually show 1 less in stock (So if it says 1 in stock, they'll have 2) so check your local. Found Gigi and Jacy in mine, one of each. I'm guessing they're not registering on the website because they always show 1 less.

Thanks for the heads up on Boogeyman guys! Hopefully one of the smyths near me will get 1 or 2 in. Original plan was to wait and get him on the Black Friday Ringside sales, but they sold out, so this is great news
I see Farooq is up on the website now too if anyone else was looking for that

Local Entertainer is swamped with Unrivaled 2 Hangman and SS Elite McIntyre. Did grab the Elite Cesaro that was in the same set as Seth though, they had a couple of Elite 93 and 95 with Shotzi, Eddie, T-Bar and Lashley.
