Loyal Subjects WWE are starting to pop up in displays at 7-11 stores. At one of the stores in Vancouver, they had a display with several WWE (red Balor, Cena, Brock, Taker and a blind box), along with Nickelodeon Splat, Horror Icons and whatever that weird depressed egg thingy is that's apparently popular with kids now.
I bought the Balor and the blind box, which turned out to be Styles. They were $9.99 each, which is the cheapest non-clearance price that I've seen at retail.
EDIT: Had the chance to pull the Styles out of his box once I came to work and saw that he came with one of the Build-A-Ring parts! Excellent!

According to TLS' official FB & IG pages, WWE should be hitting US shelves in about 3 weeks.

Gotta admit, I REALLY enjoyed HBK punching Kane's mask off.

Trying to think back to nearly 20 years ago, I'm pretty sure that I only had for of these that I bought from TRU: Buh-Buh Ray, D-Von, S1 RVD & purple Taz.

Was excited to see that my local WM got in a fresh case of FB! Then disappointed, as it turned out to be FB2 again. BUT, they rang up as $3 each, so I ain't complaining! https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxnovcFqdo

Not just WWE stuff. I LOVE that "new toy smell".

Target has S4 on their website VERY briefly... They had the pics for Sami & Flair switched. I took a chance and ordered a Flair-description (with Sami pic), and the Sami-description-with-Flair-pic sold out fairly quickly. I got Flair! The Flair & Devitt sold out not long after I'd ordered, and Owens is all that's left.
I can't imagine how many people ordered the Sami fig because it had the Flair pic.

The Golden Era for me as well. That's when I became a rabid wrestling fan (always kinda liked it before, but really became manic about it when my dad took me to my first live show in the late 80s). WWF or NWA? That was WWF. Main event was Hogan/Bigelow VS. DiBiase/Virgil. The NWA/WCW never came around the northwest until the mid-90s or so, so my first live show for them was 5he Battle in Seattle in September of '97.

Ugh, sadly it feels like I'm back at square one, thanks to the introduction of the women's division. Sure, they give you a free gal to start out with (Alexa Bliss), BUT she's a 1-star-bronze, which is the absolute lowest rank. And they modified their VS. mode and daily color tour so that you have to use a mixed tag team, so the upper-level teams will crush you immediately once you tag Alexa in (unless you have enough color posters to drive up her rank right away. I don't; I was only able to get her up to 2-star-bronze, and that's still fairly weak).

I know nowadays we have "twin magic" but when these guys donned the masks, it was pretty groovey back hen Right? We'd be all "WHAT, THE GOOD GUYS ARE CHEATING AND GIVING THE BAD GUYS A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE" and our minds would be blown.

Oh man, I was all about the Killer Bees... Although I was the only one I knew of, as all of my friends at school who liked wrestling were into the British Bulldogs.
Yeah, they were pretty much split up with no given reason, storyline or otherwise. I remember Brunzell wrestling Ted DiBiase while wearing longer black-with-yellow-stripes tights, and then he started wearing the red-white-and-blue tie-dye trunks that he had in the AWA.
