I can definitely see why some people would call Orton boring or dull. Personally, I really like him as a wrestler. Always have. Only problem I have is that he seems to be almost "lost in the shuffle" a bit with the current storyline. Triple H & Stephanie clearly overshadow him as far as top heels in the company and he almost has the feel of a guy who's just keeping the belts warm for the "real" champion to be crowned. But, IMO, he's always pretty spot on in his ring work, just not overly flashy or grandiose, which often translates to boring and dull for some fans (not necessarily anyone here, just some fans in general). Really comes down to what type of wrestling style a person likes. I personally like Orton's style, but can certainly see how other folks wouldn't.

Yeah, just that it's an older, out of production figure of a guy who's currently active. That always drives prices up. Plus, I don't think there were ever very many Goldust figures made to begin with (as far as different designs and such), so that would contribute to the high sales prices.

Yeah, I've been through a similar situation myself and really have to echo the sentiments above. Sounds like you're way more invested in the relationship than she is and it might be best to break it off sooner rather than later. Maybe talk to her first though. There's a bundle of reasons why a person might be acting a bit shady that don't involve hooking up with someone else. But, at the end of the day, if you don't feel it with this girl, then that's probably all you need to know right there.

I've always been a big Rey Mysterio fan, but I seriously have to question what keeps the guy going at this point. Be it that he needs the money or just plain loves performing that much... Either way, it seems time that he seriously reevaluates things a bit. If this latest injury is serious, perhaps it's time he hangs up the mask for good. Even with modern medical advancements, you can only repair a knee so many times. I'd hate to see Mysterio (or any wrestler) for that matter end up in a wheel chair for the rest of his life because he didn't know when enough was enough. Rey Mysterio has nothing left to prove. If he retires today, he'll undoubtedly go down as one of the very best of all time. He's already done everything there is to do, most of which a few times over. It'd be sad to see him walk away, but I'd rather see him do it while he can still actually walk.

I honestly couldn't imagine my life without wrestling. I've loved it since the first time I watched sitting on my Dad's lap on Saturday evening. I can't say that I like or agree with everything WWE or TNA does these days, but by and large, I still enjoy the shows far more than anything that's been on TV in the past several years. It does get difficult to sit back and watch WWE make what seems like such an obvious mistake (I'm looking at you impending Orton vs Batista WrestleMania main event - you too the utter mismanagement of CM Punk since 2010), but for every bad thing that goes down, there's always a pretty top quality match or segment to balance it out. I might not always like everything, but I still love the overall package.

Raven should know who this is! He helped me out with the head... Someone should call the authorities... Sting has just murdered CM Punk and chopped him up into little bits. And from the looks of that white boot there in the corner, Punk isn't the only vicitm. The stinger must be stopped before he kills again! Truly awesome work though.

Yep... This thread has officially made the wait for this new set to pop up at my local TRU much more excruciating than it already was. Might have to go grab a tent and start camping out in front of the store now.

I would love to have my Jurassic Park figures back. Had just about all of them back in the day, including the sweet camo jeep and Command Center playset. Had all the humans and at least one of most the dinosaurs too. Like a dope, I sold them at a garage sale before moving years ago. Sold those and a ton of vintage TMNT, Power Ranger, Transformer, G.I. Joe, and super hero toys. A few old video game systems too. I really wish I'd never done that. Had a girlfriend at the time who was all on my arse about being 20 years old and having a bunch of toy collections, so I sold them for way less than they were worth. I've moved on from most of them, but still miss the JP toys (and the Dinoriders - those two series were always my favorites). Too bad some of them are so darn expensive nowadays.

Actually, I'd like to see the big silver WWE/ECW Championship belt...I always liked the look of it! ^^^ This and the WCW United States Championship would be my top wants.

Awesome collection... Really takes me back. A Galoob Sting was my very first wrestling figure. Really wish I still had that fella.

I'm really not sure why the rampant inconsiderate nature of the majority of people these days continues to surprise me, but for some strange reason it does. *shakes head*
At least your dog didn't get seriously hurt. Had a little maltese in our neighborhood get mauled by a pitbull a few weeks ago. Pitbull's owner was too busy talking on his cell phone to notice his dog chasing the maltese as she and her owner were out for a walk. Neighborhood rule is that dogs must be on a leash whenever outdoors. Pitbull wasn't. Just running loose in the yard. Sadly, the maltese didn't survive.

Great pick-up... I'm so jealous of people who can walk into stores and pick up a whole series (or almost) off the shelf. My area sucks at restocking and usually gets series late (just now seeing Elite 25s hit shelves) or sometimes not at all (only got Elite 22 in one local store and pretty sure they only put out one case at that).

Nice collection. Good, crisp method for display too. I actually started around the same time as you. Don't have nearly as many as you yet, but I'm working on whittling away at the ole wish list.

Ideally, I'd definitely prefer to get all my figures in "The Wild". However, I'm rather new to collecting and thus on the hunt for some that are no longer in stores. Plus, my area kinda sucks for figures. Most stores are lucky to be restocked with them a few times a year, so there's a lot of empty or John Cena filled pegs all over down here. So, I tend to buy most of mine online. Still, nothing beats that little rush you get when you come upon a sweet new figure in the wild and snap it up right quick before anyone else does.

Awesome setup. Definitely should find some tall stands or something... It's always a shame to see kick-arse figures getting buried in the shuffle in the back rows. Still... Really classy looking collection.
