I really need to start a Jurassic Park collection. I have a dinosaur collection but not from Jurassic Park. If you're a fan of Jurassic Park, there's the Jurassic World Legacy Collection in Smyths at the minute, with cars and dinosaurs from the original film(s). Really nice stuff

How come the new Elites ring through for £14.99 at Smyths though - I thought the offer was £5 off £20, yet the Elites are £19.99... do they not count/mind about the penny? Seemingly the system just puts it through even though it’s a penny short! I don’t think the cashier has to do any wizardry

Aye I just got Scotty, Corbin and Seth, all rang up individually at £14.99 each, the lady put them through collectively at first, then put them through individually to see what happened and waddaya know, saved a cheeky five on each. Good TV
Unfortunately there were only two Jeffs left and the paint wasn’t good, as was the case with the only Ben 10

Couple of things I'm on the lookout for, only just started following / collecting these lines so my knowledge is relatively limited. The Star Wars set looks like it's only available at elevated prices (and it's sold out on Darkside Toys). Anyone know if it's been and gone at retail or if it's just not had a proper release yet? Also, I heard the Jurassic Park figures were Target exclusive, any word on if we're gonna get them?

How rigid are smyths usually with the discount? Will the get strict on the £20 spend for the £19.99 for the price of an elite? Do you mean will you get the £5 discount if you only spend £19.99? I think you'd have to buy something cheap to tip it over unfortunately, like a packet of stickers or something, or from my experience, Frozen bubbles

In one respect, I think it would be cool as hell for Connor to get his own figure. You know, from what we saw, wrestling was like the top thing in his life, and even though he had his time cut very short it would be a nice touch for him to be immortalized in the same fashion as his favourite guys
That said... I don't see it happening. I mean if they did do it like as an exclusive with proceeds going to charity I've no doubt some people would buy it (I would), but alas, I don't imagine it would be a big shifter

Good idea, I always wondered why there wasn't already a thread like this. Been thinking of getting back into collecting Marvel Legends after seeing Infinity War - Where would be the best place to buy them? Right now my biggest want is probably Starlord. I saw some Marvel Legends in Asda last week, I know there was an Iron Man in there, I think it was the series below but I couldn't swear to it. Aside from that, I imagine Forbidden Planet is probably the best bet, I know I've seen some of the Guardians of the Galaxy wave in there recently anyway. I don't follow the line closely but I don't think Smyths carries it, and Toys R Us was pretty lackluster with it too

Howdy, since the other findings thread is used primarily for wrestling, I thought since a lot of us have interest in other toy lines it would be efficient to set up another thread. If it gets enough use it might well get stickied Please use this thread to discuss findings, release dates and all that good stuff on Funko Pops, Star Wars, Jurassic World, Marvel, DC, Transformers and anything else you may be into

Looks like Elite 57 is gonna start trickling into the rest of the stores starting today (Previously it was mainly Irish stores) Just looking at the stock checker and Peterborough has them in, which I'm fairly sure wasn't the case yesterday

I'd go WITH
Nakamura wins a triple threat at Money in the Bank against AJ and Joe Miz wins the Money in the Bank briefcase Nakamura defends against Cena at Summerslam, with Miz cashing in Money in the Bank to cost Cena his 17th title Miz holds the title through to Wrestlemania Bryan wins the Royal Rumble Bryan beats Miz at Wrestlemania
It's all a case of if they can hold off on Miz vs Bryan for that long without the moment passing

Smyths has a deal on where you get £5 off when you spend £20 on selected brands, WWE being one of them, from now until Monday 21st May. Worth keeping in mind with Elite 57 due to land any second
Some new reductions too:
The United Kingdom championship toy belt is down to £5! Available online only but that’s a great deal (edit: looks like it’s now out of stock, but it was nice while it lasted) The Usos Elites are down to £15 each Wrestlemania Battlepacks are down to £15 A few new(ish) Basics have dropped to £7: Corbin, TJP, Stone Cold and Samoa Joe

I find it mad we’ve still not had a molded track pants and sleeveless shirt Brock yet. I’d definitely buy a suited Miz too

The ultimate first world problem
but no, we will get Goldberg at some point (well, I hope so anyway!), you'll just have to wait until the dust has settled a bit longer on these rings. They're not gonna announce another while they've still got a pile of the rings to sell. I know people hate the whole ring and figure concept but at the end of the day I can guarantee a hell of a lot of people have bought a ring they had no interest in just to get their hands on the first Goldberg, and that's on top of everyone who would have bought the ring anyway...

Goddamnit pal, I didn't realise that particular site had been Benoit'ed. Suffice to say, it's a shop that has all your wrestling needs covered

I'll answer my own question - in Argos the contract chaos set now includes AJ Styles in blue attire basic figure instead of Finn Balor. All the other items in the set are the same. That happens a lot in here, a modicum of respect would be nice sometimes y'know but I feel ya. Is the AJ with the new articulation? In defense of the board, sometimes people just don't know the answer ;] Especially when it comes to Argos, going to Argos for wrestling figures is like going to the Chinese for pizza. But no, I get what you're saying, some people did like your post wwejunior so your update was appreciated. Just used the Google machine, and thanks to blocked's Twitter, here's the item in question. Looks like the new articulation. Speaking of blocked, looks like they have a sale on until tonight, as well as a few new items that aren't readily available over here (some NXT Basics / Elites, Fan Central, Network Spotlight Slammy playset, Hall of Champions, Flashbacks), I'm sure a lot of people will object to the price points but it is what it is at this stage, at least it's an opportunity to get those US exclusives if you really want them

The new Basic Alicia Fox is down to £7 already. Super cool figure, I recommend

Elite 57 Seth appears to be in stock online, but not the other 5. Not sure if they've been and gone or what

Smyths have reduced the latest Retro series (AJ, Goldberg, Rollins and Ambrose) to £7.99, and the Wrestlemania Elites are down to £15
