Mania 38 Austin is down to £15 on Amazon. Missed out on that one while it was at Smyths so I'm glad to pick it up for a tenner cheaper than retail price. Only missing AJ from that set but I can live without him. I'll just stick Vince's head on a suited HHH body and it'll do the job rightly.

Ordered Bulldog online yesterday and decided to call in after work today to see if they had any Bret chase figures, no E94 at all though. They did have a bunch of Elites reduced (Hogan, Rollins, RVD, Flair, Theory). Almost bought a Swerve basic for a fiver but I'd rather wait for an AEW version than botch an attempt at converting that to an Elite.

I'm not saying £25 is daylight robbery, look at how many lines have price points like that. I will say that just as you gave that example, going forward there'll be a lot of people in the same boat. I feel really old when I say "back in my day elites were £12.99" I remember getting my first Elite for £11.99 at TRU! (Series 11 Wade Barrett) |

Picked up E93 Rollins and E91 Owens from Smyths today. Funnily enough, the last time I went into that same Smyths to buy a Rollins Elite (Series 57), I decided to also get a KO (Series 53) around this same time of year back in 2018.
I also purchased the AEW Entrance Stage from the 'Bay. Very excited to put that together but I've no idea where I'd put it until I'm finished filming my current pic fed so in the box it shall stay for another few weeks.

A simple southern fried chicken wrap from Sainsbury's. Absolutely delicious. A Sainsbury's "All Day Breakfast" sandwich is one of the best they've got. It's legit been the highlight of my Saturdays shopping for the past month! I never go to Sainsbury's for anything but I might have to call in to see what this is about. |

My set of SummerSlam Elites from RSC arrived today. In 3 days! But wait, what's this? Oh no...  OH NO.   , , ity . No Rey, No Shawn, No Eddie Jr. Email them, a friend of mine ordered E67 Hardy once but received Dream instead. They sent out a replacement Hardy and he got to keep Dream! |

One day at school during lunchtime, my friend got a football accidentally kicked at his head, a bird sh*t on him, then he slipped and fell in mud and as he got back up off the ground, his pants ripped. I've never seen such bad luck happen all within 40 minutes.

I've had a recurring dream for the past several years: It always starts with me frantically running through a train station because I'm just about to miss my ride. I always make it to the train just before it departs; however, there will be times when I realize that I'm on the wrong train and have to get off at the next stop and figure out how to transfer to the correct train, though I always end up making it to my destination. My destination is always a vintage toy store, though the location is always different. The first location that I can recall was in New York City during the winter time and I'm alone, walking through the streets of Manhattan during a snowstorm. Other locations have been inside a mall I frequented quite a bit in my youth, a storefront of an actual toy store that I went to just a few times in my life, and most recently a video game store. I don't really recall other specific locations. I walk into the store and it's wall to wall with 90s action figures from every genre you could think of. I recognize some of the toys as ones I used to have/play with and others as ones I always wanted but never owned. Here's the kicker: I always find one toy that I really want (nothing specific) and I always intend on buying it but the shopkeeper always refuses to sell it to me (either because I don't have enough money or he just flat-out refuses to part with it).
I've always taken that dream to mean that I'm desperately trying to recapture my youth but life (the shopkeeper) will not allow me to go back. I could reminiscence and look/think of things from my childhood but I can never, ever get that essence of childhood back. This dream always shakes me. I have another where I'm just wandering an empty mall and end up in a bookstore, though nothing really exciting happens I used to have this all the time. It was usually the WWF Attitude Ring in the green box. |

Bought my first Detolf to display my collection in and I'm really happy with it.

Picked up Sting from Smyths finally! Might be my favourite AEW figure yet.

Today is my last day of isolation. Sucks to have to go back to work tomorrow but at least I can go outside again and finally go get the Unmatched 2 Sting figure I've been waiting to find!

First time posting in this thread! I've wanted to collect Marvel Legends for years and finally decided to pull the trigger. I pre-ordered the new Spider-Man/Spinneret 2 pack and bought the retro card Symbiote Spidey and Green Goblin from Amazon.

I'm recovering pretty well from Covid but I'll still be off work for the rest of the week. About to buy some Marvel Legends today too which I'm excited about! (even if my bank account isn't).

It's not that Sting is the Cody of the wave in the sense that they won't get him, I just think this figure is THAT popular that he's selling out fast. Good luck to all you guys on the hunt! A1 didn't have any in today but is that wave hit The Entertainer in store yet? I never went in today to check as I was in a rush. I checked mine on Thursday afternoon after I ordered Wardlow online, but there was nothing in store. But then again, that could be the NI thing haha. |

Anyone seen Sting in store yet? Smyths in Ballymena didn't have any Unmatched 2 - I'm assuming they're hitting England first then they'll start trickling into stores in NI. I never understood how England is the first place in the UK to get the newest releases when Smyths is an Irish company..... Hopefully Sting will be with you soon, I'm tempted to get a second one to keep MOC.
I ended up going back for Santana just to complete my updated Proud and Powerful duo. Huge improvements on their first releases! Often wondered that myself haha. Looks like a fantastic figure, I'd be tempted to do the same. |
