Yep. I used the 2-Pack belts on my Jakks Arn & Tully and the singles titles on my LOD. Mine should be coming tomorrow. Did you paint the black in yours or did it come that way?

m.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/itm/390764459568?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1 This guy has 3 available at a nice price. PJ nwa tag belts are far above the rest looks like his are custom detailed. Thank you so much for posting this! I've been looking for the past week for these belts and this listing never came up. Just grabbed two of them. Thanks for helping me complete a part of my collection!

Growing up on WWF, NWA, WCCW, and AWA made me huge fan of tag team wrestling. Although WWE is having a resurgence of the tag division, I still miss the days of 80's and 90's tag team wrestling. Back then almost every team looked like a team (check out the first ever Survivor Series tag team division match). They weren't just two guys thrown together because creative didn't know what to do with them, they would have matching gear, actually have a team name, and were proud to be part of team striving for tag gold. So, for the past year I've been wanting to get my hands on the WWE Tag Titles and World Tag Titles that came with E10 Big Show. As everyone knows, in order to get two of each title you need to have bought two E10 Big Shows or be able to find them on eBay. Well this week I lucked out. And I'm happy to say I finally got my hands on these belts. And I'm glad I did. I love having the classic World Tag Team Belts, Unified Tag Titles, and now World and WWE Tag titles in my collection. It's a small thing, but as a collector it's those little things that really make your collection feel special to you. One thing I never realized about the World Tag belts is that the side plates have a black WWE logo on them. At first I thought it was an error until I saw images of the real belts, and sure enough at one point they were black, and later changed to white.
I also decided to pick up the Toybiz NWA TNA World Heavyweight title to put on Kerry Von Erich. It's a great accessory especially for those of us who grew up on wrestling in the 80's and remember that belt. So now I'm on the hunt for the Toybiz NWA TNA Tag Team titles. The ones that came with the Toybiz TNA AMW 2-pack, and are on the Road Warriors in WF Mod PJ's signature. ANY help in located them is appreciated! So far I've had no luck.

Yeah, I LOVE the Day of the Dead Rey. My only complaint with it is that I have yet to see one where the mouth paint is actually lined up properly on his mouth and not below it.

Like most people have mentioned a budget is key. As you said, you're grown with your own money and means of transportation, which means if you have the money and means, and it makes you happy, go for it.
All the driving around you're doing is part of the fun and excitement of the hunt. Eventually, you will have picked up what you wanted, and you'll back off for a while until the next series hits and you're on the hunt again for the figures you want.
As long as you're not breaking the bank and putting the hobby before your family or your needs you should be fine.

Found Elite 26 in the North Aurora Target. Cleaned it out for the most part but there is still one henry, reigns, warrior, and big e as of 3:30 . Still can't decide if I want that Warrior or not. Holding out for the WM30 HBK. Let me know if you find him anywhere.

I would love a Ronnie Garvin figure. I would also love the Freebirds to go along with the Von Erichs.

I hope that Mankind isn't a mail away figure. Having him available in store via promotion allows us to buy whoever we want in order to get him.

Great figure. Picked one up loose from RSC last week. Only thing I dislike is the crown does not sit well on his head. It's too small. Didn't think to pick up Sheri. Made need to do that on my next order. Agreed. I thought the crown would sit snug on his head, but it doesn't. Just rests upon it. Not a big deal if you only display your figures, but I'd imagine it would be annoying if you play with them. With Sherri at $2.99 it's well worth the price and she's a great figure to go along with the Macho King.

Congrats! Love that HBK! I may need to order them. Not sure if I need another Hitman, but knowing me, I'll end up getting him as well.

I was checking out the back of the package for the new Elite WM30 HBK when I noticed his tights looked a little baggy. Then I realized why. Looks like an older HBK wrestled at WM14 with baggy tights.

thats awesome. nice work. i love snakes. my best buddy is terrified of them. i dont know if i'd have gone as far as you but i definitely would try to release him back into the wild That's exactly what we did. We let him slither around for a while, then I released him back outside. Our entire backyard is protected forest preserve, so he should be just fine in the brush.

Lol thats awesome! You keeping it? I don't think so. Family fun with the wife and kids for now. Most likely I'll put him back outside.

We found a snake in our basement this morning. As it ends up, it makes a perfect Damian! However, we've all come to calling him "Jake".
