Went to Smyths and they have a sign up saying ‘20% off selected WWE products - reduction already applied’... but aside from the reduction on the Wrestlemania Elites, I couldn’t see anything else reduced

Wrestlemania Elites are down to £15.99 in Smyths

I just bought the new Basic Nia Jax, with a view to putting the head on the original Basic
I’ve noticed that the skintones on the arms/hands differ between the two figures, but the chest/head look like they match? Do they? It’s frying my brain

Found an abundance of Basic 73 in a local Home Bargains today. They had at least 4 of everyone for £4.99. Decent find! Likewise, nothing I need, but a pretty good series. To save everyone the Google:

Interesting that the new Enzo and Cass Battlepack is listed on the Smyths site, I wonder if that pack's still going / gone to production? Thought it was replaced with Sheamus&Cesaro Ah, could have been! There's just so much product coming left and right I don't know which way is up anymore

After that weird month post Christmas where the shelves at Smyths were pretty much empty, they're absolutely stacked again now. Piles of the recent Elites, Battlepacks, Basics, Wrestlemania Basics, and unsurprisingly, the Entrance Greats aren't moving at a particularly quick rate
A 20% off weekend would help right about now

Thus far this year I've seen:
Chris Rock Paramore Waterparks As It Is All Time Low
Coming up, I've got:
Nickelback Evening With Chris Jericho Taylor Swift Katy Perry
... and that's it so far. Looking like being a quiet one, but a nice mixed bag of stuff

Went into Smyths at Leeds crown point, to my surprise I found 1 Tyler Bate figure so picked it up for cheap! Unfortunately when I’ve come to open it I noticed it was a repack and the left arm is ridiculously loose. Not sure if I should return or try fix... I've had two Tylers. The left shoulder (I think?) is really hard to rotate, but once you do it, the arm just goes floppy and leaves a gap in the shoulder area of the torso. Pretty annoying

According to something I’ve just seen on Facebook, if you have your Toys R Us Gold card still, you can trade it in at Smyths for 20% off until the end of the month
No idea if that’s exclusive to one store or what

As I’ve said a bazillion times, Triple H vs The Rock at Summerslam ‘98, possibly my favourite match ever. Would love to upgrade my Triple H to an Elite
Debut X-Pac would be great too
The WWF Attitude video game was my first exposure to wrestling so basically any character or attire off that I’d be down for

on smyths site when it say in store and see is it in stock and out of stock is it always right cuz i am hoping to go to smyths really soon but one i am going to that have the ones what i want i just wanted to know if that stock check on the site is always right but i never know till i go and look for myself if they do have a basic what i wanted The stock checker is usually pretty accurate. Infact, if it says there’s 1 in stock there’s generally 2 (and so on). If something’s showing as in stock but it’s not there, it’s either buried on the shelves, or it’s up top

hellojoeivers - was that the Salford Luke Gallows that was bad? Seen there’s one in stock so was going to go later but if it’s shocking paint quality I won’t. Entertainer Manchester had lots of Mutants, Battle Packs, DMs and Basics. Picked up a Booty’O pack. Aye, from what I remember both of his eyebrows were bad, and there was only one in stock at the time I think

Greetings lads, been away in Hull for the week (I don't fly because planes have a nasty habit of falling out of the sky and / or disappearing, so me and the wife just go for a little get away around this time of the year) Anyway, some things from my travels: Went to Toys R Us there on Tuesday, had all the closing down banners outside. They had 25% off what's left of the WWE section. Things they had left: That 2002 5-Pack (was kinda tempted but I only really wanted Cena), the Jakks replica belt, some of the women's figures and fan packs, then the usual Elite suspects (Harlem Heat, Mizdow, Sid ect). There was one solitary Tyler Bate left, so I picked him up as the one I have has a gammy shoulder. So naturally this one had a gammy shoulder too They also had a Home Bargains a few doors down which had the Best of 2014 Basic series, and a load of Defining Moments Stings On Thursday I used the Smyths stock checker and as luck would have it, Elite 56 was in stock at the Hull branch. Made the trip, and UGH, holy quality control Batman. I managed to pick up AJ and Good Brother Karl, but had to pass on Jack, Gallows and Roman because the paint was appalling. I also got a little k'nex mystery Family Guy figure at the counter that I'd never seen before. Got Lois, may try and get the whole set if they appear in my local Came home yesterday, then headed out to Manchester for the All Time Low gig. Stopped off at Smyths in Salford in the hope I could get the rest of the series. Looked like they'd had a small delivery but again everything was a bust Checked the stock checker this morning and my local had them in, so made the trip, and was able to get a decent Roman, Jack and Gallows. I was tempted to pick up the new(est) Bayley, Nia and Dana but between spending too much on toys this week and the shelves just being a massive blur, I decided to save that for another day. They also had Basic 82 on the shelves, may pick up Becky at some point Got to say, the quality control of these things seemed to be on an upswing last year, but it's not been good lately. Had horrible luck recently and it's really making the hobby harder to enjoy Man, I wish I got All Time Low tickets haha. One of my friends was there and she's been talking non stop about how good they were. Quality control's been a real issue for me too lately whether it be loose joints, bad paint jobs or parts snapping off figures as soon as I take them out of the box. Mattel really needs to step up their game because I've had so many issues with figures in the last year or so. It was good man! Not life changing, but a decent Friday night It’s not good is it. I collect the occasional Funko Pop too and they’ve been atrocious recently too, and they hardly have any detail! How do you make an arse of that?

My Tyler Bate had this problem, pretty frustrating. It's got a noticeable gap on the shoulder and the arm's gone super floppy

Picked up the new Rhyno Basic from Smyths. Was also tempted by the new Neville Elite and the Mr Bean Pop Vinyl, but I resisted.
They also had the Entrance Greats Kurt and Jeff. Also tempting, but I have a mortgage to pay
