TRU Lake Grove:
Some scattered ECW ONS & RA17-I didn't bother looking
Ring Gear Shelfwarmers
Ring Giant shelfwarmers(poor Chris Benoit)
Target Setauket:
Same crap from CS8 & PPV9 as they've had the past 2 weeks.
WalMart Setauket:
AD:
x1 Edge/Kane
x1 Hassan/Davari
PPV8:
x1 Triple H
Ra13:
x1 William Regal
And up on the top shelf I saw a CS fig. I thought it was Nikolai or Mr Wonderful cause it looked red, I almost didn't even bother pulling it down. Good thing I did though cause it was:
CS3 Bret Hart
WTF! Just like the CS2 Mankind & Dude Love, dont ask me how it got there, or why it was there, but it just was. And I needed it too-so I bought it, even though the packagign was messed up bad and had glue all over it. It was 10.88 so no discount.
They did have a ton of empty It makes me wonder if they got a case of CS3 and I missed it-ehh probably not.

Yeah I need DA1 Orton & Batista-You gotta be f'n kidding me-I was in the Bay Shore area earlier this evening-I'll be in the area tomorrow-I hope they don't give me sh*t w/that b.s. "collectibles" rule that Target has if I ask for them? If so, the nearest fat girl is getting RKO'd in the Electronic Dept.
RTWM22 has hit LI---
Holbrook TRU had them-evidently they put them out over the weekend.
Ofcourse all the good ones have sold out-Anyone who's been there knows that they cut the WWE figure section in half-well about 4 aisles down(toward the back of the store), on a side peg hanger thing, they had like x5 of Angle/Benoits-they were so far from were the WWE figures were, no wonder there was such a ton there no one would even think to look there, even when looking around and around for them. And ofcourse the sh*tty ones were all put there, and not in the regular section where the normal scalpers would look-EHHH. F'n TRU man, cant live with them cant live without them
All I got to say is I better get Orton-Batista DA tomorrow or I'm giving up figure hunting forever. I'm sick of this
I love the fact that jakks is putting out proto pictures of DA2 yet DA1 has barely hit stores and arent even available. When you evaluate the company that Jakks is, their distribution, and availability of their product, and how their sh&t has to be tracked down, or premium prices have to be paid online-the company f'n sucks.
No More Jack Long
Call me the Angry Figure Collector aka The Hater
Name change is going down right now

How many per case? is it x1 or x2?
I'm gonna be there at like 8-9 am after I go to PT-is that gonna be too early? Should I take one of the tags off the peg and scan it and then ask? Or should I write down the UPC # you posted and ask for them like that?
Thx for the heads up bro-
Also, did you get RA18 from RSC yet?

They open at 8 so hitting there around 8-9 wouldn't be bad.. I'd take one of the labels off the peg if you can, if not, just give them the number. |

Was at TRU in Massapequa... same... Simon Dean, SA Rings, and some Ring Giants. KB in Massapequa had GAB in new... Animal was there. Wal Mart Massapequa had nothing... except for series 3 of Ring Giants... had them all... Carlito, Kane, Rey, & Michaels.
Target in Copiague had ECW PPV & CS 8 on the shelves minus both Hogans and Orton. I picked up both Hogan variants already, but wanted Orton. I scanned a figure and they had more CS 8. A very nice lady called to the back warehouse and asked the guy to pull that specific figure. So I have my "Ace" boots now... very cool. Which means, for those of you looking for the Hogan belt variants, go to Target and ask for them. He broke a new case, so there should be two of each Hogan at least.... --- Chris

KB toys roosevelt field: AD16 Batista and JBL X3 Paul Heyman and Bischoff ECW ONS 3 shelves with TNA figs Ring giants carlito and benoit Just wondering, they didnt have any PPV10 figures at all? Last time I went there on Thursday, it looked like they just put them out. They must have sold like crazy. Dammit, I knew I should have gotten that Batista when I had the chance. Seriously, it is ridiculous to see DA2 protos when DA1 has barely hit stores. I'm glad I won the first set off Ebay, but still, I havent found them in stores, and I would like another Batista, Orton and Angle to open up. DA2 doesnt even look to good to me. Good luck with those DA1 figures tomorrow Jacklong. Or should I say, "The Angry Figure Collector." |

Oh yeah, and I know this is a longshot, but has anyone seen Jeff Jarrett or AMW on the shelves recently? I wanted to get them for the NWA belts. I know someone said that there was a ton of TNA somewhere... just wondering if these were included... thanks!

Wow! Those PPV10 figures went really fast then! Seriously, 6 full pegs of them! I saw like 4 or 5 Batista's and Animal's there. Dam, only took a few days for them to sell. I might be done with collecting regular RA soon though. I want some extra money for when I get my car. Plus, I need space in my room. I plan on keeping my CS collection going though, and the exclusives, but just not the regular RA figures.

I went to the Carle Place TRU after my second class, as well as the Roosevelt Field Mall KB. Here is what they had.
TRU, Carle Place, Long Island - Dam I love this TRU! THEY HAVE ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA!!!!! It looks like they just put it out. They had the whole set there, except for the HBK as Hulk Hogan. I bought the last few of them. They do have everyone else though. That Angle fig is amazing, Benoit and Cena are kinda plain, Eddie looks decent, the Rey is another sweet Rey and the regular HBK looks great with the jeans mold. I bought 3 HBK as Hogan's. If anyone wants one, just PM and we can work something out. They also had a few Jakks belts. I saw a John Cena WWE Spinner, Regular United States, 2 RAW Tag Team, 1 Hardcore, 1 Winged Eagle and 1 Old School Intercontinental titles. I almost forgot this too. They had a bunch of Ruthless Aggression 17 there as well. I didnt look thru them though, my main concern was the RTWM. I would say about 2 or 3 full sets of RA17, maybe more. Same goes for the RTWM set. I was thinking of buying the Rey and Guerrero, but I will probably wait until later on to get it. No RTWM double packs either.
KB, Roosevelt Field Mall, Long Island - I only went there to see if the PPV10 Batista I hid was still there. To my surprise, it actually was! So I ended up getting him. They had a lot of TNA figures there. I remember seeing some PPV10 OJ's and JBL's there, but nothing special. I'm so surprised to see how fast the PPV10 actually went.
Those are the only two places I stopped. The cashier at TRU was like, "Wow, we got new ones." When he saw my figs. He then went onto say how he remembered when Hulk Hogan did something with the A-Team back in the day. Of course, I dont remember it since I wasnt watching back then. Anyway, He thanked me for coming to there TRU, and I told him thats its really the best TRU on Long Island and they always have good stuff here. I told him the Huntington TRU is horrible and hasnt restocked in a while. He said he thanks me for taking the long drive there, and then I told him I go to Hofstra, so he understood. Anyway, Road to WrestleMania is there! So go get them!

Yessir!
You're about to read the best findings this thread has seen in quite a while...
~~WalMart Islandia:
Had the same belts that HR2X reported yesterday, but as I walked down the aisle, something on the other side caught my eye-RA14-x2 all, x1 Taker. I've wanted that Taker for a while, and picked it up today-I was planning on getting Taker/Orton RTWM22 2packs, but after seeing RA19 Orton w/the new scan, I said F that RTWM22 set. Anyways, nothing else there.
-BOUGHT x1 RA14 Undertaker
~~~WalMart Centereach:
Ofcourse, didn't go there yesterday, and it was the day they put out figures-they had:
PPV8: x2 all
DA1: x1 Orton, nothing else
TNA: Bunch of Series 2 figures.
-BOUGHT ORTON!
~~~Target Bay Shore
Home of HR2X-who told me last night there was a full case of DA in the back, and it would be no problem for an employee to get them for me. Well, first off, I went to the WWE stuff, and they had some crap from cs8 & ppv9, and x1 HHH DA. I took the tag off the peg, then scanned it....it said "In Stockroom: NO".
So I picked up the HHH DA fig and found some dickhead who worked there, I told him I was told the DAs were in the back, and kindly asked if he could please check for me, as there is one figure that I really wanted, and I would appreciate if he could help me out. Well, what does this dic khead say? The famous "Whatever you see is what we have". I try again. He says "We have a crew at night, they would have put them out". I try yet again, this time getting annoyed. "When we get a shipment it goes right to the floor. If it's not out we dont have them. Theres nothing in the back". So I walked out a bit disappointed, especially since HR2X, the inside source, gave me bad info.
But the day got better, as the next stop was....
~~~~~Bay Shore TRU
....JACKPOT!
Road To Wrestlemania 22
ALL OF THEM!
3 Fresh Cases.
They had:
x3-HBK as Hogan
x3-HBK in Ring Gear
x6-Eddie Guerrero
x6-Rey Mysterio
x6-John Cena
x6-Chris Benoit
x6-Kurt Angle
I had picked up Kurt & Benoit last night at TRU Holbrook, so at Bayshore TRU I picked up:
x2 HBK as Hogan(1 to keep as HBKster, one to put CS8 nWo Hogan head on)
x1 HBK in ring gear(Nice fig even though he's got sneakers on)
x1 John Cena (yes, his shirt says "Kick ASS, Take Names")
x1 Eddie Guerrero (no tattoo)
x1 Rey Mysterio (Sweet f'n figure, my favorite Rey to date)
So on the way back I decided to stop by the following store, just for the hell of it(maybe see if they had WM22 2Packs):
~~~Lake Grove TRU
No WM22 Double packs, but they did have RTWM22 singles! I'm thinking someone got there before me, as there was plenty of each figure on the shelf, but x1 HBK in ring gear, and x0 HBK as Hulk, but for all I know it may have just been an employee. I looked up in covered top shelf, low and behold there was a good amount of RTWM22 figures up there-I went through all of them, found 1 more ring gear HBK, and in the very back, x1 HBK as Hogan. I picked up the HBK as Hogan, this one to keep MOC.
Last stop of the day:
~~~Target Setauket:
Same PPV9 crap, except magically a Steve Austin was there. x1 or 2 of all, but x0 RVD.
Same CS8 & CS7 shelfwarmers.
Feeling like my luck would keep on rolling, I scanned the Deluxe Figures peg tag. "In Stockroom: YES"
So I looked around for an employee who looked like he'd be cool, and not a dicckhead like the Bayshore Target employee. Approached him and I asked kindly if he could pull the case for me. He kinda started to give the "collectibles" speech, but I cut him off and advised I wasn't gonna be greedy and buy all of the figures or most of them like scalpers do-I told him I only wanted 1 figure-Batista. After some more back and forth, I finally convinced him, and within 5 minutes he was cutting open a fresh case of DA1 right in front of me. I finally got my DA Batista, and also decided to pick up the regular version of Cena, since I only have the LE-PPR one. Didn't get Rey caue I got LE-PPR, and he's gonna be in Series 2 also.
So as I said, a helluva day for figures for me. My luck finally changed, after weeks and weeks of jack sh*t, or scattered hits here and there, I finally found all that I was looking for.
Here's everything I picked up today, with the prices:
-RA14 Undertaker $7.84
-DA1 Randy Orton $9.99
-RTWM22 HBK as Hulkster (x3) $7.99 x3
-RTWM22 Shawn Michaels (Ring Gear) $7.99
-RTWM22 John Cena $7.99
-RTWM22 Rey Mysterio $7.99
-RTWM22 Eddie Guerrero $7.99
-DA1 Batista $9.99
-DA1 John Cena $9.99
Pics coming soon-I'll take them probably later tonight, and post tomorrow or the next day.
BOOM! Holla
BOOM!

Congratulations JackLong... see you changed your name there. With the amount of running around you do, you deserved to hit the jackpot eventually. I hope I get as lucky with the Billy Graham figures. And I hope I find a Benoit RTWM today...

Thx brother. Yup had to change the name! I'm angry
Holbrook TRU had a TON of Benoit RTWM22 last night-they had Angle too.
If I were you though, I'd drive the extra 10 minutes on Sunrise to Bay Shore TRU if you're looking for any of the other RTWM22 figs.
I'm about to throw up some quick pics-stay tuned for Hogan RA.

I should change my name too after the smite war waged against me, because I spoke out against the great and and powerful Jeremy... but anyway, just because TRU had them yesterday doesn't mean that our old friends from Action Toys or Brucie boy didn't come down and gobble them all up... but dammit, all I want is a Benoit, so I should be able to find one.

Nah dude, they were kind of hidden actually-you know where the wrestling figures are right-well after you check there, if you dont see them, keep walking down that main aisle towards the back of the store-like 2 stands before the bikes there on a small peg rack. Should be alright-I think old Rolly Polly action Toys or Fat Brucey got all the good figures already-Benoit & Angle are safe!
