I just use a basic spreadsheet program like Excel. Not because I'm ever in danger of buying a duplicate, but because I open all my stuff and sometimes I want to know what series a particular figure is from or what accessories it came with, so I keep track. It's not easy to just remember when you have have a big collection and a lot of it is boxed up!

I contacted Amazon about my situation. "Amazon Warehouse Deals offers deep discounts on open-box, like-new and used products on Amazon.com. You can find additional details about the item you're considering on the offer listing detail page. Here, we'll give you an idea of the item's functional and cosmetic condition outside of what's provided on its detail page. This is the reason why you received a used item." So buying an "Like New" item from Amazon means that you don't receive the item listed. So I guess that's on me. After bringing this to their attention, I figured they would honor the deal they gave me, but this isn't the case. They want to charge me the original price, since that's the item I want to keep. I can send back the other one if I want. I figured they give something to the effect of "thank you for your patience, and we apologize for this inconvenience." Not the case today. It's not the biggest deal. I got what I wanted. It's just really annoying. It's obvious they don't know the difference between their @$$ and a hole in the ground. If you're returning one, return the repack and say it was the full-priced one. They'll clearly take back anything and they really don't care.

For serious though, I liked the Ascension in NXT. I don't know why they've been completely buried since joining the main roster. I feel like the Vaudevillains will be joining them in jobberville (just my hunch) but I hope I'm wrong.

Which figures DO have these new ball-joint hips?

If I didn't know any better, I'd think that was William Shatner, not Brutus Beefcake. That said, I used to be a big fan and would buy his figure in an instant. I was super-excited when he returned for Wrestlemania IX (even though the event ended up sucking), so I'd love to get him in Mega Maniacs red & yellow as well as solo barber attire.

Honestly, I feel like I've seen her make that facial expression a lot. Like she just threw up a bit in her mouth. Seems accurate.

Well, if they're dropping the Divas branding everywhere, I guess it makes sense.

It'd shelfwarm harder than Adam Rose & the bunny.

I prefer Elite 36. Every time I see Elite 41 with the cop accesories I think he's one of the Village People.

The only problem I have with his new catchphrase is that he sounds like he fell out of Wreck-It Ralph.
But yeah, he's coming across as a great smug heel.

It's a symptom of WWE's biggest booking problem: he's super predictable. When he comes out, you know he's gonna win.

Thank you. That was the first thing that came to mind when I read the title of this thread. I guess I could dig this out and play it again.

I'm at maximum capacity now, so any time I get a new figure it means an old one has to go into storage. Every once in a while I take a look at what I've got stored and sell or give away the stuff I'm sure I'll never display again. My Battle Pack Usos? Never gonna use them again now that I have the Elites....

No way it's Freebirds. Most people don't know who they are so it'd shelfwarm forever, plus it'd be four brand-new characters which just isn't how Mattel does this. If that happens I'll eat my hat.
Something NWO themed is the smart choice.

Austin beating Shawn at WrestleMania 14 should really be on this list.

Nope, I like it. I don't even really notice it (or other points of articulation) on the figures. None of mine are loose, either.

I haven't watched this season at all. Who's Mandy?

Steiner is one of the great d-bags of wrestling. I liked him as part of the Steiner Brothers, but I'd never buy any merchandise of him from his singles career.
