I figured that he was talking about that 12" set that had Kane, Cena, Sin Cara, Del Rio and Sheamus (perhaps one or two more, not 100% sure, however).

Apparently Target has a $20 off $50 coupon going on now. I saw this on another forum... "$20 off $50 or more storewide purchase at Target Text lkwkgk to 827438 to get a mobile coupon for $20 off $50 *Excludes alcohol, Apple products, Bose, CVS clinic & pharmacy, dairy milk, DSLR cameras & lenses, Elf on the Shelf, gift cards, Google products, GoPro, LEGO, mobile contracts, prepaid cards, Sonos, Target Optical, Tylenol pain relief, and Weber. *Category coupon Offer valid at Target or Target.com Expires 10/31 ***Also Text: ptwyy3 or ptwxx3 to 827438 for 15% off code" Does this work? I get a text back saying “Program ended”. Not any more. It was discovered that there were actually 7 15% off codes, and they all stacked on each other. So people were ordering thousands of dollars' worth of stuff and being charged only about 30% of the total value (give or take). Most of the orders have been cancelled, of course, with much complaining/gnashing of teeth happening online because of it. EDIT: Also what SlayerFan said up there ^

Howdy gang; Thought I'd share a pic of my very first and very last TRU purchases. I picked up the LJN Tito Santana when TRU first opened in Boise, Idaho in the mid/late 80s. And the last TRU pickup, the Mattel Ultimate Warrior VS. Honky Tonk Man set, was made at the Jantzen Beach TRU in north Portland, Oregon. https://www.instagram.com/p/BjsferVAjga Anyway, would love to hear more stories/pic shared by fellow WFers!! If bored, feel free to give me a follow on IG, as well. Cheers!

Ha, yeah, a few years back I saw Kevin Kross wrestle Gangrel at a local fed's TV taping (West Coast Wrestling Connection). Anyway, Gangrel pinned him, and we were razzing Kross on the way out "AREN'T KROSSES SUPPOSED TO KILL VAMPIRES?!"

Even though these sat on the shelves for a while, I really liked the set. Shame someone stole the Tag Team belt from the Typhoon package. Been seeing this too much lately. Was at a target the other day and someone stole the base from each of the series 3 retro figures, not that I care that much about the base but to get the base out they pretty much destroyed the packaging (which sucks for Mint on Card collectors). Also saw that someone replaced a NXT Bobby Roode figure with an old Paul Orndorff figure, they even drew a beard on the Orndorff figure. Are you going to leave them in the package or open them? If you open them, then not having the belt isn't so bad, you can always buy a belt of eBay. Heck, I already opened the crap out of 'em!! Yeah, I figured that if I really want a second classic tag belt, I can go that route or buy a Hall of Champions Undertaker. Still plenty of those around.

First time posting in this thread. I've been a MOTU fan since the originals in the 80s. I've always been looking to get some of the Loyal Subjects figures, but found them to be too expensive especially not knowing who I would be getting. I just happened to be in Gamestop the other day & saw a brand new display box of 16 with a $6.99 price tag on them. I knew that was about half the price of everywhere else, so I decided to buy 2. To my surprise, they rang up at $3.49 at the register, as Gamestop has 50% all clearance this weekend. I bought all 16 & even got the box. They are now also available to buy on their website at that price - here. I haven't gotten the chance to open any of them yet, but I'm looking forward to it in the next day or 2.
What did you get? I also bought a case of 16 and ended up getting 2X of all commons except for 1X He-Man, plus a 1/48 Teela!!

Howdy folks; Was checking out the clearance section of one of our local Wal-Marts (Vancouver, Washington), and was excited to see the TNF Natural Disasters. Was LESS excited to see that Typhoon had been ripped open and the belt stolen. But he was marked as only $5, so I thought it was worth it. Also a complete Earthquake for $15. When I went to check out, they rang up as $2.50 and $7.50, respectively. Turns out that there was an additional 50% off of clearance items! So only $10 for Earthquake, Typhoon, one tag belt and two gnarly sets of packaging. Not too shabby! https://www.instagram.com/p/BjU1ktNA-tA Fred "Typhoon" Ottman himself gave my IG post a like! EDIT: Oh, also Epico Colon gave it a like/comment, then did that trick where he followed me in an effort for me to follow him back, then dropped his follow. Wise to that trick, however. Anyway, hate/rate. follow on IG, whatever.

As far as Loyal Subjects figs go, here's what I have so far:
Thundercats: Hot Topic Monkian (X2), along with metallic versions of Lion-O (X2), Tygra, and Panthro(X2). Also Target Jackalman.
Masters of the Universe: He-Man, Skeletor, Beast Man (X3), Trap Jaw (X4), Man-At-Arms, Stratos, Evil-Lyn (yellow-skinned), Tri-Klops and Man-E-Faces.

If you go back and watch when Steamboat brought out the "dragon" to go against Jake's snake, it was actually a baby crocodile or alligator - I can never tell which is which. Here's a handy chart showing you the way you can tell which is which:

I'd take Nicholas as a tag team champion over Judy Bagwell, any day of the week.

HOLY SMOKES, I've been wanting Mattel to make a King Harley Race since they took over. I still have two of the Jakks KHRs (1 loose and 1 MOC), and love 'em (even with the incorrect crown!!)!

Aw, boo. Luscious Johnny V. was the very first wrestler that I saw in-person (he wrestled against S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones in Boise in Feb. of '88). I'll never forget him or that fact.
