same want both and also want lars he got scanned with a group of nxt wrestlers what’s on the wwe YouTube so hopefully he is nearly finished being made Dunne will also need an update before the 1st is out as he now has the beard. And I'll be the 1st to say, "when are we getting a new Dean Ambrose?" 😂 Just put an Ambrose shirt on Ryback and that’ll tide you over nicely!

If they do a 20% off weekend this year it’ll take the Goldberg ring down to like £56. Worth considering! I don’t normally advocate waiting for reductions but that thing isn’t worth £100 of anyone’s money

My local Asda had the tough talkers series with Finn Balor and Big Cass along with the new zombie series Hardys. Balor’s actually not bad for a basic style figure :/ How much were the Zombies?

Did they fix the floppy hands on his last Elite? I just have Elite 43, but I’d be interested in upgrading if the forthcoming one is sturdier in the paw department.
I find stuff like this interesting though. He’s had three (soon to be four) Elites and a number of Basics already despite not being in the company for all that long (just over three years?). Just seems like a lot, especially when you consider how injury plagued his main roster run has been. Also interesting when you consider Big Show has gone almost 40 series without an Elite (aside from that Toys R Us exclusive)

Bunch of newer Battlepacks reduced Usos Hardy Boyz Nakamura and Dolph Brock and Roman Sheamus and Cesaro Ellsworth and Carmella
All down to £15
If you happen to have the latest Braun and Matt Hardy Elites at your local, they're down to £10 too

The JR BAF is my personal favourite I wasn't big on Elite 35 as I didn't think the tattoos translated well on the bulkier arms, the Wrestlemania Elite had potential too but when you take the hoodie off he has no neck
Side note: I was tidying my collection last night and was thinking that the Walmart Exclusive tshirt series Basic was a great figure, definitely an underrated one

Yep was waiting ‘til I filled my boots before I informed all you scallywags, but yes, just got Elite 60 Triple H from Smyths, looks like one case per store at the minute, and as we know, no Elias Zombies Series 3 was there too at £21.99, le sigh Battlepacks 54 were there... minus Breezango. Who are no longer on Smyths site. Has this been mentioned before? Looks like Battlepacks could be getting the shaft in the same way as Elites (ironically there’s like 5 million Roman, Braun, Alexa, Nia, Finn and Bray on the shelves already, but they omit the two guys that haven’t had figures in forever) They had Breezango in Kidderminster Smyths today so they are around Cheers for that! Looked like there was only one case of that series so that would explain it. I just assumed the worst when I couldn’t see them on the site

Some recent reductions I've spotted over the last couple of weeks but not got round to posting about. I imagine not a lot of it's old news but if you were on the fence about any of these then now's a good time to pick something up. Obviously subject to what's in your store:
Basic 85 Seth Rollins - £7 Basic 83 Alicia Fox - £3 Basic 85 John Cena - £7 Basic 76 Randy Savage - £2 (1 in stock at Forrestside) Elite 53 Miz - £5 Basic 78 Rock - £3 Basic 84 Alexa Bliss, Kevin Owens, Bobby Roode and Dean Ambrose - £7

I agree that wanting a figure of someone is... flattering, somewhat. That you want to spend £20 of your hard earned on a plastic effigy of another human being, it must be a nice feeling for the subject to be thought of in that way
HOWEVER, I remember a similar drama going down when Chyna died. Yeah most of us wanted a figure of her, but c'mon, she wasn't even cold and people on here were speculating attires. She had family making funeral arrangements and people on here were rubbing their hands thinking about action figures
No hate, it just didn't feel in good taste. It felt like there was a time and a place, and this wasn't the time

I've always assumed Herv was an old board mod but now you've all planted alternate theories in my head and I don't know what to believe. After a quick search of the members section, looks like there was a member called Hervine, he posted on page 1 of this thread, amassing an impressive 17,252 posts, but hasn't posted on Wfigs since March 2016 I'm now ready for my police badge

The only problem I have with AJ's Elites, well, Elite 56 and Network Spotlight at least, they have that stupid torso where you can't properly rotate the left arm Hopefully they sorted that out, because it's affected those two figures, Tyler Bate, Shawn Michaels, probably more

Went to my local Home Bargains this morning, they had Elite 36 in. It looked like a regular assortment, but instead of having duplicates of two figures, they included Series 33 X-Pac and 34 Paige in the case. So that's: Bray Wyatt Bo Dallas Stardust Goldust Dean Ambrose DDP Paige X-Pac SteveHulk, I don't know which packaging it was (you maniac), but I took the liberty of taking a picture for your benefit

Slightly off subject, so sorry if this annoys anyone. But is anyone else intrigued by Herv? Every time I come on this forum I see the message "Herv, you know this will work, so don't unsticky it." I see the second message and think "it did work" Not a day goes by where I don't see the word 'Herv' and literally lose sleep over whether Herv was an old time member, or he was trying to say 'Hey' but made an arse of it But yes, suffice to say he had the last laugh, I think it worked!

I was only teasing and trying to lighten the mood. I know you are a good guy. I normally only post if i see something that hasnt already been reported and to help out. Agree that we cant believe everything we read. I only believe something if A) I see it in store B) I see it online C) Joe Ivers reports it Stop arguing guys x I’m a real life Rob Burgundy To that end, just went in Home Bargains and they had some fresh out of the case Elite 52 (Shamrock, D’Lo, Seth, Xavier, Kofi and Brauuuun). Facebook is reporting that Elite 44 and 33 has also been spotted at various Home Bargains locations

Right lads, just out of The Entertainer in Buchanan Galleries In Glasgow and just picked up The New Day Booty O's Elite set for £14.99... They had 3 left so may be worth checking your local branch. Unfortunately I don't have the power to end this crapshow, but this is the last I'll say about it After a quick search, this was the first sighting of the Booty O's set on this board Granted, it's possible that it could have been found before the 15th February, but there's no way that thing was on the shelves for three months without anyone here spotting it

The entertainer take stock that doesn't sell as well. They have had loads of figures recently at discounted prices. Such as? They bought up Toys R Us’ warehouse stock, which is how they ended up with some Network Spotlight figures. I would also hazard a guess that that’s where the huge injection of Elites came from given they were able to sell them for £10 straight out of the gate. It’s also possible that the Booty O’s set was destined for Toys R Us too

Went to my local Smyths and was chatting with a fellow collector who’s one of the higher ups at the store
Today they got solid cases of the following in:
Elite 56 AJ Elite 54 Bray Wyatt The most recent Brock Basic The most recent Randy Basic (with the painted on tshirt) and the most recent Strowman Basic
He didn’t know why, but alas, this is the situation...
Edit: to clarify, that’s cases full of each individual character. Not an assortment

Anyone think we'll eventually see the Epic Moments lines in stores like B&M or The Entertainer? I’m no expert on the issue but I imagine it works out like this: Mattel ships stuff to the UK either to Mattel UK or a distributor, whatever. Then retailers buy the stock from there. Stuff only ends up in the clearance outlets if the distributor has a surplus (IE, if not enough retailers pick up the series, or if the retailers just don’t pick it up at all - like Zombies series 2) SO, I guess it depends entirely on whether or not the Epic Moments series was even sent to the UK to start with. I know T&M or a store similar to that claimed that either the Festival of Friendship or Hardy Boyz set wasn’t being distributed to the UK Either way, I’d say there’s a chance. Not sure how much longer the discount store gravy train is gonna keep chugging along though

Oh boy Smyths will be stocking Zombies Series 3, and is due in stock any day £21.99 each Blimey! That’s a bit steep. From what I remember, that’s £5 up on Series 1 Series 1, the series that Smyths, Tesco AND Asda had to reduce to the point of practically giving them away
