My Walmart finally got series 3 today after at least a month of having nothing. Have there been any reports of people finding the Costco set in a Costco? I know I can order it from the website, but I really don't want to create a Costco account for a one off order. I know it's stupid, it just annoys me. Yeah, my wife got my set in-store. We live in Washington state, if anyone is keeping track.

Only one store in my area ever gets anything news, and at the moment they are flooded with Kanes, have several S8 Hogans, and one DiBiase. All the rest of them have a Wyatt/Shango/DiBiase mix in various quantities. Still have never seen Perfect, Bigelow, Mr. T, or Typhoon in-person.

That one nameless Dark Order lackey who was "punching" Dustin. Swing and a miss!
Seriously though, Lex and Shane were the first two that came to mind when I'd read the title of this thread.

An interesting factoid about Macho's championship reigns that I may have mentioned in here before (I'm old, and I honestly can't remember), and that I'd realized a year or so ago is: Of Macho's six world championship reigns (2 WWF/4 WCW), 3 were ended by Hogan (1 WWF, 2 WCW), and 3 were ended by Flair (1 WWF, 2 WCW).

The first ones that come to mind for me are Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, and Paul Orndorff.

Just got a shipment update email & tracking number from Major Bendies! I'm guessing that it's my Duggan/Magnum set.

Macho, and it's not even close. And I'm obviously not the least bit biased.

*ahem* oh jeez... i stand corrected! g It's all good. Like others have said in here, this was a look for Razor that Hall and the higher-ups were toying with before he debuted on TV. So yeh, it's EXTREMELY obscure, but I reckon that's an example of a limited chase figure. Just something that only super-fans and/or extreme "I hafta have it!" collectors would "chase" down. As far as I'm concerned, I kinda dig the look, but I won't lose any sleep if I don't come across one.

Such a bummer. I only got to see him live and in-person once, that being the main event of a Nitro in Boise. The match was Hulk/Sting/Goldberg VS. Sid/Nash/R.Steiner. Such an amazing physical specimen, for sure. And he was always guaranteed entertainment (and for not always the reasons he intended), if for no other reason, just the mere presence of him.

I still don't understand why Mattel made a Chase Razor with long tights, he never wore long tights, did he? The blue (regular) variant looks much, much nicer IMO. *ahem*

Found and picked up a Series 2 Cody over the weekend. They didn't have an other single packs, just the ring with Brock.

Man, I LOVE untelevised house shows. Just wall-to-wall action, without all of the interviews/skits/fluff that you have to sit through at televised shows. Sadly, it appears that the 'E has got rid of nearly all of them here in the United States. They had a couple scheduled ip here in the PNW (Kennewick, WA, and Boise, ID) for next month, but the canceled those with no reason given, and have said that they won't be rescheduling. Which is especially a bummer for me, as I was considering attending both of 'em (although I'm sure that they cards/results would have been the same).
ANYWAY, here is the card of my very first house show, way back in February of 1988 in Boise:
S.D. Jones pinned Luscious Johnny V. Outlaw Ron Bass pinned Brady Boone Dangerous Danny Davis pinned Sam Houston WWF Women's Tag Team Champions Jumping Bomb Angels (Tateno/Yamazaki) defeated the Glamour Girls (Kai/Martin) by pinfall... I don't remember who pinned whom. The Ultimate Warrior and Hercules Hernandez fought to a double count-out Ken Patera pinned one of the members of Demolition (either Ax or Smash; memory's a bit fuzzy). Whichever member that did NOT wrestle was on the outside of the ring. Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Ted DiBiase & Virgil (with Andre the Giant) via pinfall. I'm about 90% sure that Hulk pinned Virgil. Before the match, someone in the crowd pelted Andre with eggs. He sure let some curse words fly on the house mic!

Found a lone Kane at one of my area WMs. Snatched him up quickly!

Yeah, same. I live in the PNW, and I haven't received my shipping notification for Hacksaw as of yet. And I'm not the least bit concerned about it.

I saw the Lesnar/Rock/Reigns set this past weekend at a Fred Meyer store (FM is the PNW's Kroger affiliate, for those wondering).

Awesome! Ordered a Race/Brawler set the second that I heard Race was available.
