Went to the TRU in Westminster this afternoon and hit the jackpot. I got the entire series of CS 14 minus Sherri, Mean Gene and the LJN Austin (he was there, but a woman grabbed him when she saw me loading up) But I got all the rest. For that series, all they had left was one DDP. They also had one of the Strike Force left, so I grabbed that.
They had 1 each of the new AD 25 DX and London/Kendrick and a few CS 13 (Rhodes, Brother Love and Rude)
But I didn't stop there. I went to the TRU in Aurora and found the Midnight Express and Hollywood Blondes. No CS 14 there. They did have the new PPV Taboo Tuesday series, 2 each and the new TNA figs. I picked up a Bobby Roode. They also had the new Steiner figure.
Great day, expensive day, but oh well, nice findings.

nice finds! I guess I can expect to find CS 14 at TRU here in Lone Tree soon.
Thanks for the heads up.

That's cool! Thanks for posting your finds! I ran over to the Westy TRU at lunch today to see what was there. I saw a CS14 DDP, Ax, Smash, and HTM. I grabbed the DDP & HTM. The AD25 sets were gone, but I still saw one Strike Force set. So, they must have restocked again, or something. I hope I have better luck finding CS14 than I did finding CS13. Still no PPV 14, though.
I'm going to try to make it to the KB in Colorado Mills tomorrow at lunch, and maybe check the Target while I'm there. If I have time I'll stop by the Walmart on 32nd and Youngfield on my way back. I'll post if there's anything exciting.

Yeah, I was shocked to see CS14 cause I haven't seen hardly any reports on them being found. And I agree, CS13 was tough, I still haven't found Luna and I had to break down and get the LJN Taker on eBay.

I'm hoping you find a Spike, haha. If so, let us know.

I had actually been out to that KB about four times looking for Spike after it started showing up in Arizona. After making the trips out there I decided to buy one on ebay instead of wasting gas & time. I never thought that store got anything new, but it was actually the first store I saw RA26. I was really surprised by how much new stuff they had at the time. Now, it's been about a month since I've been there, so I'm hoping to find some good stuff.

OK, so I just got back from Colorado Mills. The Target didn't have anything worthwhile, just some of the shelf warmers from CS11 (Moolah, Kid, Windham), and two Gymini sets.
Then I went to KB. The only sign of CS14 was a Mean Gene, which I bought. No Spike Dudleys at all. They also had two Bischoffs and a Carlito from PPV14, the first sign of that set I've seen in CO. They also had some Moolahs, Arns, Kids, & Windhams, along with a Kowalski if anyone still needs him. Lots of assorted figs like RA 25 Test, RA26 Benoit, nothing that can't be found everywhere else.
Tomorrow at lunch I'm going to try to make it to the Walmarts on Sheridan & Colfax and 32nd & Youngfield. I'll report my findings then.

Seriously, I'm not expecting much from either store, as last time I was there they were clogged with loads of CS12. I'm mostly just bored with work and looking for an excuse to go out and drive around at lunch time  On a side note, I stopped at the Target on 104th and hwy 36 last night and they had almost a full set of CS11, minus Hogan, and one each of the Mexicools & Spirit Squad, and two Gyminis. |

Aurora is now loaded with CS14. Probably 3 cases worth. I searched and searched, no Sherri, but it looked like they had just put it all out, so I'm guessing employees bagged them. They had 4-6 of each figure. If you go and don't find what you want, look in the overhead bins above all of the action figure areas and hot wheels, they totally had to stash them everywhere to make up for the amount they recieved. I was certain I'd find Sherri in all of that, but I had no luck. Looked EVERYWHERE.

I'm sure you'll get what you need. They had like 6 of each Martel and Abdullah. I might hit up Westminster around lunchtime, so I'll let you all know if I find anything new.

Went there during lunch. I picked up a backlund, Honkytonk and an LJN Steve austin.
I found Ax and Smash but left them for later (I will pick them up at wally world-if they ever surface)
smash was in the TNA aisle, Smash is in the overhead bin in front of the hot wheels.
There was another LJN Austin at the end of the transformers aisle.
Thanks again for the heads up.

I stopped by the Aurora TRU after work yesterday and picked up a Martel and Abdullah. I also picked up one of Billy Grahams, since they were marked down to $4.98. Thanks again for the heads up, Goreinator.

TRU in Westminster has the WM singles now in case anyone is looking for those. I picked up a Punk.
We need an official Colorado thread, haha.

Hey, I've pitched the Colorado thread idea before. I went to the KB Toy Liquidators this afternoon in the Loveland Outlets and they had plenty. This is a little known place, but one of the best places to look for figs.
They had CS14 x2 minus Sherri. I picked up Mean Gene and the LJN Austin. Sherri is the only one I need for the set, and I have a feeling she'll be like Luna from CS13 (hard to find)
Besides that, they had the new PPV Taboo Tuesday figs, the Spike Dudley with the Hardcore title and RA Best of 2006. Great selection of new items, so if anyone gets up in that part of the state, I'd stop in.

Hmm. I wonder how far of a drive that would be from my work. I might have to check it out sometime.
