I have a decent collection of WWE DVDs and blurays. I have pretty much every PPV from Wrestlemania 1, only missing a couple of the latest releases I haven't picked up yet. I also have a number of the documentary releases and collections/best ofs. I also have all Raws and Smackdowns on DVD from January 1998 to the end of 2004

Hopefully Toys R Us get E35 in soon, my local TRU is garbage for WWE figures usually. Last time I went in a few days ago there were a ton of elite Cesaros and a few Sheamus's from the BAF John Laurinitis set then a ton of basic Cenas.
Its annoying when I dont have a local Smyths and now the Entertainer looks to be stocking WWE figures we dont have one of them either.
May just browse the net tonight and see how much I can pick Earthquake, Orton and Triple H for. Not too bothered about the others in the set

I wondered what happened to Dean, I bought plenty of decals from him for CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, HBK and Hitman pink sunglasses decals.
I'd buy more if he was still around. His fixups and customs were first class.

Cheers, i went in about half 10 yesterday morning they were just sorting a WWE display out. I might have been too early (or too late!) but I only saw E34 and older Elites. Might nip down today again if I get a chance, or tomorrow on my lunch break. I was in at around 9.40am, so they would definitely have had them when you went in. You probably just missed them. If you go in later, look for them where all of the cheap toys are as soon as you go through the entrance gates. There's a small display with them hanging on. They weren't on the main aisles, or that end aisle display. Cheers for the heads up. Went back to Bradford TRU today and picked up the BAF Undertaker, D-Bry and Bray Wyatt. Was the last D-Bry and Bray out, had a few Cenas so il pick him up another day.

Were the Kane BAFs at Bradford or Leeds? They were at Bradford on that way in section, rather than the main section. Leeds just had E33.

Bradford TRU had full sets of E34 in. I picked up Barrett, Paige and Rusev as I have Hogan and Doink coming in the post next week. Im sure Cena will be the one figure I can quite easily pick up later. No Kane BAFs there, im hoping to try Leeds in the next few days, hopefully they have them with it being a bigger store. First thing on Saturday, they had two full sets of Kane BAFs on the pegs in that little section aa you walk in, by those massive Star Wars and X-Men cut outs. Did you try those? Leeds had nothing new yesterday, despite it being massive. I wasn't goigg to go Bradford at first, but my gut said to go. Were the Kane BAFs at Bradford or Leeds?

I have a £10 Argos voucher, does anyone know which Basic and Elite series they currently have?
Are Basics still 2 for £15?
Not been in Argos for figs for ages
Cheers

Thanks for the videos.
Is it me or do they look the same? Is there some subtle difference i'm missing?

For those who have both figures, is there a difference between Basic series 1 Big Show and the one from the Battle Pack series 3 that came with Edge.
I cant find a clear enough picture of them both to compare.
I have a figure that I believe is one of the above but not sure which one it is.
Cheers guys

I picked one up from TRU for £4.99 they price-matched Smyths.
Good to know as Smyths tend to regularly discount figures when new series' are released whereas TRU never discount to make way for new sets.

Cheers guys.
I've never heard of goof-off. I'm in the UK is it an American product?
I'll have a look on ebay see if I can track some down.
I've tried an eraser, a couple of marks have faded slightly but still there.
I've been through all my figures now and there are only 3 affected ones, but they would have to be 3 of my best ones - SDCC Undertaker, RSC exclusive Stone Cold and E2 Triple H
It was Yokozuna's robe that has rubbed off onto the other figures!!

Hi,
I have just got a lot of my figures out from storage that I had to put away while we were decorating.
I've bought some brand new Detolfs to display my Mattel collection in and am just sorting through my figures.
I'm absolutely gutted that a few figures have now got black marks/smudges on them. I was very careful packing them away but it must be contact between figures with the old cloth shirts where the dye has marked.
What is the best way to remove or cover these marks? Some of these are quite rare figures so replacing them probably isn't an option.
Thankfully the marks are on the skin part of the figures (arms, face) and fortunately it is direct on the plastic - not painted on skin colour.
I have tried a little nail polish remover but this hasn't worked, however it could be a fairly weak concentration as its from the girlfriends make up box.
Is nail polish remover the way to go? Could I paint over the marks (never painted a figure before) or would they sand off?
Im entirely in your hands guys if you can help me out. What are the best ways you've found of successfully removing marks?
Or am I screwed??
Cheers

I received a set of RSC white ropes today and put them on my sons ESR.
They do raise one of the corners of the ring as they are tight, but they are not bending the ring posts. It is just the ring itself, as it is made up of 2 interlocking halves, that is causing it to raise.
We have 2 sets of ringsteps, which hides the fact one corner is raised, and the playability of the ring is not affected.
My son loves the tighter ropes, and although they probably fit the ASR better as they were specifically designed for that ring, they are better on the ESR than loose ropes, in our opinion.
Money well spent.

I've ordered a set of ropes for my ESR as all of the comparison reviews state that the ESR and ASR are virtually identical.
However there must be some subtle difference if RSC are saying their ropes are designed for the ASR and dont fit the ESR properly.
I might have to try stretch them slightly or fix the ring posts down somehow.

Any chance you can update how they fit on your ESR, pics if possible.
I'm looking to order some myself my ESR ropes are fraying at the metal bit.

Smyths in Leeds have E33 in. Picked up Batista, X-Pac and JYD. My son got Cesaro and Rollins.
They had plenty of each figure. I passed on Reigns/Rollins as im happy enough with my existing elites of them until we get an Authority Rollins and up to date Reigns.
Cesaro is a pass, i have his first elite and apart from the Andre trophy its not much different. I only realised today that the new Cesaro elite has painted on leg bands rather than the removable ones.
Also Smyths had the latest Basics in. Passed on Rusev il wait until his elite is released. Only found 1 Jerry Lawler and it had a big black paint spot on his face so left it.
I noticed a lot of the elite X-Pacs had paint flaws too, mostly black marks on his tongue, I had to search for a decent one. Is it just me or do more recent elite sets tend to have more and more quality issues with them?

For those of you who regularly use Smyths for Mattels, how accurate are the release dates on the Smyths website to when they start to appear on the shelves?
I only have 1 Smyths anywhere close to me and am wanting to pick up the Hulk Hogan Defining Moments fig when it hits, however I wont have many chances to go as its quite a drive.
Is it likely to be on shelves on the release date or is it likely to be a few days after?
Cheers guys
