Pretty much nothing but switches out in my area when it comes to Elites. New series comes out, someone buys all the good stuff, then returns them with swapped figures inside, usually basics but sometimes Jakks. It's almost impossible for me to collect by going to retail, so I just pick up all my Elites online now.

Well, I went ahead and ordered AJ. I'd like to get Ryback, but not at that price. I'm sure it'll be a great figure, but I'm not a big fan of his. Suddenly having regrets of not ordering HTM, but I wanna see a picture with all accessories first.
EDIT: So Ryback is either 2 or 3 per case, depending on the assortment? Yeah, I think the chances that I find him at retail are OK.

I'm pretty sure the worst match I've ever seen on TV was something involving Great Khali. As for a live match, I was at WrestleMania IX, and most of those matches were pretty terrible. Giant Gonzalez vs. Undertaker, maybe?

Thanks to Vladimir Kozlov, I cannot say WWE anymore. I always just say "Double-Double-E" like he did in his promos, even when I don't mean to.
(Incidentally, I once bumped into Kozlov in an elevator and told him I loved his "I love Double-Double-E" schtick, and all he did was give me a really goofy grin.)

I thought Barrett's matches with Sheamus were fantastic. I thought he was gonna be propelled into the title picture after that, but after Big Show took the belt and Barrett lost to Orton on Monday I wonder what's next.

I'm just glad to see them doing something with the undercard guys. I wish the rest of the unutilized roster would get some storylines too.

1. This should be good enough. 2. if any part of the barcode (especially the numbers) is damaged, they will not accept it because they have no way to verify which figure it is or if it matches the receipt. Cool, thanks for the info. Ya know, I think they COULD identify the figure and match it to the receipt via the assortment number (or they could scan the bar code), but somehow I doubt that they would bother. --HB Chris

So, I'm about to send away for the TRU COO Triple H, but I have a couple questions I'm hoping someone can help with.
First, the official website (http://repository.wwe.com/triplehpromo/) states that I must include "3 UPC labels (the entire bottom cardboard piece, but not the figure or plastic window)." That makes sense for Elites, but I have a Basic and a Battle Pack to redeem (plus an Elite), so there is no "bottom cardboard piece." How much of the backing card do I need to include for the Basic and the BP? Not the whole thing, I hope!
Second, when I removed the Battle Pack's plastic bubble, it tore off the bottom of the UPC code (the part with the numbers). Can I still redeem this, or is it invalid now?
Thanks...and sorry if this has been answered before.
--HB Chris

Thanks, OP (and respondents)! I'd been meaning to ask this myself.

I don't think it's fair to say "never." I think Vince was a huge Bret Hart fan until he decided that the future of the business was down a path that Bret couldn't lead him on.

Nothing like that, but as a college freshman I wrote an English essay justifying why I liked pro wrestling. My teacher thought it was the greatest thing and read it to the class.

Personally, I could go for 3 full hours of AJ.
Seriously, though, I think her acting is better than most if not all of the Diva roster.

I don't get why 75% of the IWC is so high on this guy. Didn't anyone see him doing the Abraham Washington Show on ECW for months? Pretty much the least funny thing WWE has had in the last 5 years outside of Vince McMahon.
That said, firing him on the basis of one bad judgment would have been severe overreacting, but it seems there's more to it than that.

Agreed. I really want an Elite Swagger, but I can't convince myself to buy one since it looks nothing like him. (Same for Natalya, although she's not an Elite.) Swagger. None look like him to me.

I agree; the Wrestlemania 26 Drew is the best basic Drew. And the painted-on beards look like crap. I had a Basic 6, never opened it, and returned it when I found a WM Drew. Good plan, although I don't like the red on drew. I think you should try and track down the wrestlemania 26 drew, I think the white looks great.

I'm not buying from scalpers, but I'm not buying much in stores either. In the past 6 months the only thing I've found in stores that I wanted was Lalyla and Brodus Clay. It really has gotten to the point where collecting these things is next to impossible in my neck of the woods.

I feel your pain, but this is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. He even said that he opened all 5 & 1/2 cases and 90% of them were SKIP SHEFFIELD!!

Possible feud? I think they're already feuding.
