I hate to change the subject but how has Walmart and TRU been looking for Elites as of late? I have a few days off work and might head out and do some figure hunting if people have been finding some good stuff. I'd love to pick up the NWO and Bella battlepacks too

Forgot to add... The cardboard table I made was just a proto for scale and style. My original plan was to figure it all our and make the final piece from colored acrylic. I think I might pass on making tables for now and just purchase some in the future. I have nowhere to permanently set this stuff up where I'm currently living. I plan on moving into a bigger place come March or February, so the extra room will be a display / Hobbie room There's still a chance I might make some though. I enjoy building and tinkering around with stuff. We'll see..

How'd the stage turn out man? I saw in another thread that you picked a sh*t ton of figures and an Elite Scale Ring, I'd love to see what kind of set up you have for it. This place needs more people like you, showing of their work! I dunno if you remade the announce table, but if you made it the same way you could maybe wrap some of the parts in tin foil and use the black tape on the rest so it doesn't look like cardboard? The tin foil would also be a good idea if you used cardboard for your stage. You could also do what I did years ago on one of my cardboard stages; Cut a hole in the cardboard and cover it with foil. Then you could use it as a break through part of the stage. I've been so busy with work and Christmas I haven't had much time to get around to it. All I have done is the base put together and the steel cut for the stage top and ramp. I have 6 days off starting tomorrow, I plan on painting the stage base and the steel then tinker with some ideas for how I want the entrance to be set up. I'll make sure to post some pics!

I did 1985 through 1991ish with Jakks. I'm doing 1995 through 1997 (when Bret left) with mattel. By expanding out to 95 & 97 I am able to include Diesel, Razor, X-Pac, Kane, NAO, & more. I also have a pretty sweet Owen custom that holds the I/C title and 1/2 of the tag straps. Here's a link to a post I did when Mattel's sucked me back in . . . forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/313764/brian-pillman-hogAnd the Owen pic I really want that Bret Hart with the black tights. What series is he?

As a guy who just started collecting WWE figures but have been a long time collector of McFarlane Sports figs, Funko Pops and Batman figures, my advice is to only buy what you're interested in. Sometimes, something is released that looks really cool, has a bunch of hype and everyone wants it, don't get caught up in the hype. It's easy to have happen, I've been there before. Just stick with what / who you want and you'll be fine =)
Most important is to enjoy it and have fun! Make a wicked display and be proud of it!

What exactly is boxing day? I've always wanted to know... It's a massive sale virtually everywhere in Canada the day after Christmas. Pretty bad ass

I'm tempted to go back and buy them all. The resale value is high on these, no?

Nice purchases, but how did you find the HoF figures at TRU? I don't know lol they were there. I was shocked to be honest. Usually Canada sucks for Elites. They had a TONNE of DM Sting

Christmas has come early for me! On Friday my FREE modern steel cage came in from Ringside, APA came in from Amazon, I think I paid $27 Canadian for both figures, my eBay order of Rollins, Reigns, Ambrose and Rusev (who is one of my fave figures!) Today I went to Toys r Us to finish some Christmas shopping. I stumbled across these 3 gems and DM Undertaker Overall I'm extremely happy with my last two days! The addiction is real
