Are you guys finding these Wrestlemania 3 dvd's at most Wal-Mart's or what? I would like to pick up one if i could find one.
On a side note, I forgot to mention another pick-up from a few weeks ago. I stopped by the Kmart in Concord and picked up a Vinyl Aggression Ricky Ortiz on clearance for $5. They had one left and looked to have at least one of all the other wrestlers in the series as well (I think Triple H, John Cena and Rey Mysterio are all in that series among others). I told myself I wouldn't buy one of those stupid things, but I would guess that this will be the only "figure" ever released of him.

Has anyone come across a Flex Force series 1 CM Punk figure WITHOUT accessories (yellow and black tights) lately?

I have an idea where I can find one, but I don't want to make the hour drive just for a Flex Force figure. If anyone knows where I can find one in the Piedmont area, that would be great! If I recall right, do you live in the Cary area? I am about to start dating a girl that lives in Willow Springs (yep, long distance relationship) and I was thinking you lived in this area. Me and her made a trip to Cary last weekend, but I didn't get to do any figure hunting... |

Im not positive but I think that's right up the road from here, in the country. About 15 minutes away. |

Yea, there isn't a huge distance in between the two towns, as I pass through Holly Springs on the way to her house. How is the figure hunting in these areas? I stopped at the Super Target in Apex and another Target close to where she lives. Both seemed to be scalped. |

Yeah that Apex Target is shot right now. lol. |

Yeah that Apex Target is shot right now. lol. Definitely. I believe they had a Basic 2 CM Punk and a Series 3 Shelton Benjamin and that was it for Basic. It doesn't surprise me though as this area was extremely busy when i rode through there last Friday, especially this Target. Although, both Targets that I mentioned had Elite 3, but I am not sure who all they had in stock. |

Thats the only Basic 3 figure Ive seen there. Must've gone quick. I havent seen Elite 3 there yet so I might need to get Cena...tomorrow... I guarantee you he is gone though. lol. |

I think one of them had the Cena, but I can't remember as I don't pay too much attention to the Elite. I do remember one having slim pickings and the other having most of the series. I bougt a Basic 3 1/1000 Chris Jericho #60 from a guy here in Lexington yesterday. I have to say that it is a nice figure and looks far better than the Jakks version (the designs on the kickers ftw)! |

That Jericho fig is sweet. One of my favorites. I got Elite Cena at Cary Target today. Pretty awesome figure. |

ANybody going to Smackdown in Raleigh? I was about to buy section 119 row C last Weds for the presale they had but I pass. After the draft, smackdown lost alot of big stars. They still have Rey and Taker but I wanted to see Edge and Jerico. I'm a jericho fan. I aslo got a seat belt ticket for $125 the week before so there goes some of the money |

Jericho is my favorite also, but I really like the direction Smackdown is going in. For my birthday, my parents bought me a ticket... FLR2 ROW 4 SEAT 14. Should be a decent seat. |

Even though it is probably too late in the day to mention this, I will go ahead and do it anyway...
My girl called me a few hours ago to let me know that Ivan Koloff is signing autographs at the Fuquay-Varina Wal-Mart. I was not able to go since I am attending George South's wrestling show tonight here in Lexington, so she went ahead and picked me up an autographed picture. It might be worth it to check out the autograph signing for those in that area.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts is scheduled for the show tonight here in Lexington for any of those interested. It is at the Armory in Lexington and bell time is set for 7:30. Tickets are $10 at the door. It is a benefit show for a child that has cancer if I am not mistaken, so it is for a good cause.
Sucks that I don't have any figure(s) for Jake to sign...

I think it was the one in Fuquay as that is the one closest to her house. Just to clarify, it was Koloff at that Wal-Mart and Jake was at the show in my town (Lexington). I went to the show tonight and got the opportunity to meet "The Snake" and he didn't seem like to friendly of a guy to me. I don't have any of his wrestling figures, so I settled for buying an 8x10 and got him to sign it. Sorry, no pictures as I felt rushed in line and didn't bring my digital camera along anyway (just had the cell phone camera). |

Jake Roberts is a miserable person from what I understand. Way too many drugs & alcohol in the past... and probably currently too. Awesome that you got to see him though, he is one of the greatest, in my opinion.

He could have been a little more friendly though. He is also a lot taller than I would have expected him to be as well. Overall, it was nice meeting yet another legend from the industry! In other news, any exciting new finds out there? I haven't seen nor heard of anything decent showing up on shelves around here lately. Although I haven't done any figure hunting for myself in a while... |
