I wonder how well an nWo Nick Patrick BAF would go over. Honestly, Nick Patrick as a figure might go really well if they could find some way to make it a 2-in-1. Maybe give him a torso with a sleeveless ref shirt painted on it, throw a regular, WWE shirt on that, and include an NWO shirt in as an accessory. It would actually be a 3-in-1. Or, do a plain torso and just include the cloth goods ref and NWO shirts (and maybe a hat on the side) Could work in the legends line and if you were to go with the way that it suited both WWE and WCW, it might just sell a bunch too, just so people can have a WWE ref. Yeah I agree. The nWo shirt is a must though.

Gotta love the Legends line. Goes on clearance in the US and gets scalped to hell for the rest of the world. Looks like I gotta try and get a Captain Lou for less than $100 somehow. Goes on clearance mere weeks after being released too. This is why I seethe when I see US YouTubers go on WWE figure hunts, find brand new product and hear them say "I'll wait for a sale".

How have we not gotten a Tajiri yet? You would think he's on good terms with the company.

Mattel Creations.....bleh.
Did they ever figure out international shipping yet? Last I heard nobody outside the US can order from them.

"It's got to be TMNT elite figures." "Mattel's answer to a question no one asked!"

No shipper but found Trish, Pat and Rock from the WM40 Elite wave at a local Walmart. Grabbed Pat as he'll be the only one I want from that set.

A Konnan elite (if revealed) would be an instant buy for me. He should also be a chase with nWo Hollywood and nWo Wolfpac colors as the two variants.

Wonder what we will see tomorrow? I hope the rest of Elite 110,Defining Moments wave 2, Royal Rumble wave. I’m hoping on the panel on Sunday they show protos of Elite 112. Fingers crossed for the Steiners, Spike Dudley or any Attitude Era talent that we don't have.

Hit up a few Walmarts and a TRU yesterday. Didn't find anything I'm looking for. It looks like we're getting cases of Survivor Series McIntyre and Becky, and SummerSlam Michaels and Rey. Haven't seen AJ or Warrior, or Sherri or Orton anywhere. Those are all so old...bleh. Man I'm happy that ECW Dudleys and Headbangers got announced. We're sorely lacking talent from the late 90's.

I'm heading to SF for vacation in a month from Vancouver. Where are the best spots to find wrestling figures? Are my only options Target and Walmart?
Also are there any good shops that sell retro games or Pokemon cards by any chance?

I hope we get 2007 green shorts cena Was just thinking this recently. It would go nice with the Ruthless Aggression elite HBK.

I wonder if we'll see an Elite Carlito with soft goods shirt and apple accessory.

Meanwhile down south, Legends figures, the Hogan 3-pack, elites and UE's all go on sale at Target and Walmart mere weeks after the items hit shelves. Here in Canada, we have dozens of Mae Young's rotting shelves at Walmarts across the country and Colonel Mustafa rotting shelves at TRU's. Mae's are still full price I might add. How long has it been since she was released? 2 years? And strangely, I've never ever seen a Mae Young figure in the the U.S. (I frequent a few Walmarts in Delaware, PA, and Maryland). I probably would have bought one if I'd ever come across it. I'm in Vancouver but if I'm not mistaken Mae's are still spotted en masse across the country at Walmart. If you ever need a Colonel Mustafa then TRU is your place to go lol.

Drove to Richmond, BC today and spotted two new figures -- the Trish from the Nicholas BAF wave and a Shawn Michaels from the British Bulldog BAF wave. Both were the only figures left of their respective sets and BOTH had been cut open with parts stolen.

Really hoping TRU Canada brings in this wave. They're really spotty with what they get and I'd hate to miss out on this assortment.

In Vancouver and can confirm that not a single shipper is in any of the 3 TRU's near me nor in 4 of the Walmarts I've visited. Absolutely inexcusable considering I'm in a major city. Countless elite Colonel Mustafa litter shelves at multiple TRU's, and the latest elite wave at any TRU is 98. Walmarts here don't even have elites in stock either. All I see are old Basics or 2-packs everywhere. I do not understand why they thought Colonel Mustafa required that many buys. That said, they seem to have sold at the end of the day. I just think it's a sad state of affairs because I am in Calgary, Alberta--one of the most active cities for wrestling in Canadian history. They have independent wrestling here almost weekly, are hosting a huge AEW event in July, and consistently host WWE. I think the newest Elite wave I have seen evidence of is 99 because there are many Queen Zelina figures available at WalMart. I don't think I ever saw the other figures in the wave, though I may have? I definitely do not recall having ever seen Boogey Man. The absolute newest one I have seen for the first time this week is Jerry Lawler from the Survivor Series set with the Build-A-Figure of 1999 era Davey Boy Smith. Meanwhile down south, Legends figures, the Hogan 3-pack, elites and UE's all go on sale at Target and Walmart mere weeks after the items hit shelves. Here in Canada, we have dozens of Mae Young's rotting shelves at Walmarts across the country and Colonel Mustafa rotting shelves at TRU's. Mae's are still full price I might add.
