Well, I think it's day 11 or 12, and we have moved to the West Coast. Spent the last 2 nights in San Francisco (beautiful city, my 3rd time there and I can't wait to go back. We caught a Warriors game, they smacked the Pelicans)
I finally found HOF Edge.. Man that Set was almost impossible to find. Target CBD San Francisco. The Balor mutant came from a Target on the Ddrive up from LA, and the E46 came from a Action figure store in Union City (Just south of Oakland).
Then today, we are spending the night at Santa Rosa, as we head up to Portland to catch the Blazers game on Wednesday. Found a bunch of Spotlight Balors, so I got 2.
I have pretty much all the figures I was chasing, I'll keep the the usual spots as we go (Target, TRU and Walmart) who knows maybe I'll be the first to find HOF 5, or TNF 3. Stranger things have happened. But no longer "hunting" anything.
Day 5 (I think)
Well after my first Wrestlemania (which was amazing) I did some hunting today. Let me just say, Mania was everything I wanted it to be. I have followed Wrestling since about 1990, and for a kid from Australia who grow up on the lower income side of things (very loved - my parents are awesome - just not much cash in my home). Anyway, it was number 1 on my bucket list to go to Mania and I finally did it with my son and wife, my dream was always to go with my dad but he passed in 01. Amazing to take my son, anosd my wife is awesome. I marked out big time when Goldberg hit the first spear, yes I'm a big old Goldberg mark - sue me.
We headed to Cocoa beach today, hit up a Target and 2 Walmarts during the day. Still no luck with HOF Edge, 'bastard is rare as hens teeth' - I did score TNF Warrior finally, I left 2 for someone else to find. Found at coca Beach Walmart. Picked up Wrestlemania Mag as well.
Day 4
Wrestlemania is finally here. Just relaxing before the big afternoon of lines etc lol. Can't wait. Here are yesterday's picks ups. No luck with HOF Edge and TNF Warrior. But I'm still hopeful of finding them before the end of my trip (still 13 days away), but apart from those 2 I have got all the figures I was hunting unless I come across e47.5 at retail (Ascension)
Day 2
Spent a few hours this morning hunting in Orlando/Kissimmee area. Had a bit of luck, but still hunting Shinsuke DM, HOF edge, TNF Warrior and TRU Taker/Vince. So far the trip has been awesome, had Cracker Barrel for lunch, man I love that place.
Day 1
Well, after some 30 hours of travel (Home to Hotel - Brisbane, AU to Orlando, USA) my family and I have arrived in Wrestlemania town. Last night we went straight to Wrestlemania Superstore. I passed on the DM Shunsake @ $40 plus tax, and the Ascension elites @ $25 plus tax. But I did pull the trigger on Goldust and Pillman (I figure they are unlikely to be found at retail and I'll get Acension next RSC order).
I knew coming in I wanted the mini belt, and the program. The box u can is the plaque (Ticket holder thing) and of course the cup. I'm off all morning hunting HOF 4, and Spotlight Vince/Taker.
Any who, our holiday has started and can't wait for Mania on Sunday.
