They had Hogan vs. Orton, which seemed weird. They should have had Hogan vs. Piper for that. It would have made the first SNME more memorable than what it is. Well, keep in mind that TV shows back in those days were used to generate interest (and therefore revenue) in house shows... not the other way around, like it is today. There was no way Vince was going to give away what was arguably the hottest feud of the year on free TV when people would be clamoring to see it live when the tour ran through their towns. Now that I think about it, I kinda miss those days where the majority of matches that you'd see would be Superstar VS. Jobber matches, followed by a promo where the Superstar would threaten their current feud's opponent. "Come and see them settle it once and for all (for the 20th time this month) when it comes to your neck of the woods!"

What would be nice for the winner to be Sandow, as the "light at the end of the tunnel" for all the nonsense they've been putting him through as of late. I feel that it WILL be Bo Dallas, however. And part of me REALLY wants Zack Ryder to win. ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif)

Heck, one of my Targets still has FOUR E4 Finlays!! No offense but I don't believe any target still has 4 Finlays. None taken. And no offense to you, but I'd REALLY love to hear your explanation as to what I'd have to gain from lying about it. Not trying to start a fight; just genuinely interested. That being said, I happen to have to go there today anyway (taken about 2 hours ago): ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/Zincdust/20140712_142530_zpskyvgv8cx.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/Zincdust/20140712_142523_zpsxmoolsoh.jpg) Don't get me wrong... I WISH that they were gone, because as you can, they've mostly prevented any new Elites from coming in. And they are STILL full price, scanning at $18.99. And sorry boardies, I'm not able to pick these up for anyone. These ARE at the Target in the Hazel Dell district of Vancouver, Washington, if you know of anyone else in the area. Cheers!!

As stated in my updated OP, I when I went back by DD's Discounts today, I picked up an Entrance Greats "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase for $4.99 (that wasn't there earlier this week). I wonder how often they receive new stock? Also, most of the Rumblers were gone, but those wind-up Cena and Brodus figs were still there. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/Zincdust/20140710_120955_zpsnburp46h.jpg)

Very nice, I've never heard of DDs what are they like? It's similar to Ross or TJ Maxx. I'm going back there on my lunch hour today to see if they have anything new! Will report later.

I remember reading a PWI mag when I was a teenager, which had a pic of Race holding Andre up, ready to slam him down. I think that I'd also read (it may have been in PWI, too), that Don Leo Jonathan has been credited as the first person to bodyslam Andre. EDIT: Ah ha!! I found the pic that I was thinking about (Race VS. Andre): ![](http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbj7nnNUD81r4xd8no1_250.jpg) 2nd edit: Oh, pshh! I just realized that this pic was in the video in the first post. ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif) As Brodus would say; "My bad!"

Thanks, everyone. I realize that DD's Discounts is primarily a west-coast retailer, but I'm interested in hearing what other people have found there recently (if anything).

Hi folks; The new DD's Discounts finally opened in downtown Portland, OR. I went in to check them out today, and here's what I picked up for $7.99: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/Zincdust/Mobile%20Uploads/20140708_122158_zpsnzyanftq.jpg) They also had the usual stuff one would expect to find, such as Rumblers and those wind-up wrestlers that the line's name escapes me for the moment. They had tons of Cena & Brodus, though. Anyway... Hate/rate, whatever tickles your fancy. Update 7-10-14: Here what I found when I went back by there today: Entrance Greats "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase for $4.99: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/Zincdust/20140710_120955_zpsnburp46h.jpg)

I'm definitely on board... I've enjoyed the PPVs and NXT. Also, I can't wait for the SNMEs to be added!! As of today, some have been added. They're in the On Demand section. !!! *goes home "sick" from work*

Holy smokes, me too... I had a really fun time hunting down as many as I could and trading them with board members here. I'll have to post the pics of my 1/1000 collection soon.

Excellent! Just out of personal curiosity, what are the numbers on your three 1/1000s?

Here's what was at mine: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/Zincdust/20140614_133423_zpsojaj4p36.jpg) 3 Ryders, 2 Bookers, 1 Christian, 2 Jerichos, 3 Henrys and 2 Cenas. Plus about 12 DM Steamboats and a bunch of the Savage/Punk & Cesaro/Brodus Rumbler packs.

Between Shane and Raven, but I'm going to go with Raven. I had the same dilemma, but I went with the Franchise.
