Fred Meyer is the Kroger partnering chain here in the Pacific northwest... Think I'll check 'em out after work tonight to see if they're running something similar.

I also ordered mine on April 9th. It's shipping out of Phoenix to my office in Portland, Oregon... However, the Fed Ex scheduled delivery date updated from 5/13 to 5/16 earlier today. Bizarre.

I absolutely LOVED this game (my friends all thought that it was boring). There was another expansion disk scheduled for the C64 that you could only order directly from Micro League themselves for $20: Side 1 was to have Ravishing Rick Rude VS. the Ultimate Warrior, and side 2 was to have Bret Hart VS. Mr. Perfect! I ordered the heck out of that one as fast as I could. It kept being delayed time after time, for MONTHS. Finally they sent me a disk with only Rude VS. Warrior, a letter stating that they were discontinuing the MLW series, and a refund check for $10.
The Rude VS. Warrior match ran much, much slower than the others before it, and the graphics were blurrier with a strange color palette.

This is just a general retro number right? So if the shelves are full of series 7, it would come up under here? Right; each fig has their own SKU assigned, but they never show up in the inventory system that Brickseek uses. Just the general SKU.

The Easter Bunny (my wife) brought me a Funko Series 1 WWE Mystery Mini blind box. Was expecting ANOTHER John Cena, of which I already have four (or at least another double. I was missing the Rock, Daniel Bryan & Ric Flair out of the general release set). Opened it up and was surprised by Bryan!!

No updates that I've heard of... But I'm almost 100% positive that TLS put these (as well as many of their other "lesser" properties) on the back burner to fast-track their Game of Thrones line into stores to coincide with the new season kicking off.

RVD and Rey came into the restaurant I work at last year. 100% true story, but RVD struggles with his sight. He had thick glasses on and almost walked into a pillar. Not sure what relevance it has to this, but yeah. He probably did this bit one too many times & ended up screwing his eyes up permanently:

From what I've seen, she also loses her smile every time a fan asks to take a pic with her.

Hmmmm... The 20% off WWE merch sale that Target is running this week SHOULD (at least in theory) also apply to the Rooster once he goes up for sale.

I didn't enter college until my daughter was born... 14 years after I'd graduated from high school. I was tired of floating around from crap job to crap job, and had finally had a reason to make something of myself. Now I've been working in computer forensics for nearly 12 years and it's much better than anything I've done previously.
That being said, I'm of the opinion that college isn't necessarily for everyone. If I had to do it over again, I probably would have went into a trade program, like training to become an electrician or a plumber. Working with computers all day is great, but unfortunately there's a shelf life with old dudes like me in the tech industry. Everything I learned in college is severely outdated, and nearly everything I've learned on the job is applicable to this highly-specialized field only (which is highly competitive, and with more and more kids coming out of college with techy credentials, too).

Last word from the head of TLS himself (Jonathan Cathey) is that they'll be hitting stores in "some time in April". The brick-and-mortar stores that he listed which will be carrying the TLS WWE line are: K-Mart, Target and Wal-Mart (with Target/WM getting exclusive sets, which have been listed earlier within this topic). Also the possibility of select 7-11s getting another shipper of mixed lines in late spring. Are all the Loyal Subjects releases this delayed? I hate to say it as I love 'em, but unfortunately yeah. They are still a relatively small toy company, despite their successes with these big-name licenses. They recently partnered up with Bandai, so I expect that they're going to get a lot of their growing pains over and done with quickly.

Anyone seeing these things in the wild anywhere? I've been checking places like Gamestop and Hot Topic because I figured they're the places most likely to have them, but nogo. I had to resort to ebay to grab AJ, but haven't been able to grab Sting yet. Last word from the head of TLS himself (Jonathan Cathey) is that they'll be hitting stores in "some time in April". The brick-and-mortar stores that he listed which will be carrying the TLS WWE line are: K-Mart, Target and Wal-Mart (with Target/WM getting exclusive sets, which have been listed earlier within this topic).

If you live around a Roses, Series 6 is popping up there for $5.99 each. Came across them today. Wouldn’t be surprised if they start hitting other discount retailers soon... Dang, thanks for the heads up! I'll check the one near my house after work.
