Went into Bradford TRU yesterday - they've had no elites in for ages.
Was amazed to see a full set of E17 fresh out of the box! Picked up Mankind. Only need Kelly Kelly and Sheamus now from this set.
Still not seen the WM Elites at Bradford, heard Leeds had them in at some point but didn't have chance to go.

When does the Argos 3 for 2 offer end or has it already? I got y2j and booker t today for £7.49 each ( there is a third of on toys but not sure if the 3 for 2 is still in) I think it's already ended. And the 1/3 off toys only lasts a short time longer. I picked up Jericho from Argos today, only had a tenner on me or i'd have got Booker T too. Fingers crossed they still have one in on friday.

Made the mistake tonight of starting a Div 4 Ultimate Season with a crap team. Gonna have to play the full 10 games now and apart from the 3 Professional/Semi-Pro matches i'm struggling against World Class/Legendary teams.
Thing is if I had a few decent players i'm sure i'd be picking up some wins. I've got Kaka and apart from that some average 77/78 golds and bronze full-backs. I'm only losing by the odd goal on WC, but got absolutely hammered by Legendary Everton.
I am enjoying FIFA 13 on the whole though, finally come around to tactical defending so having some decent online results. Gonna get my teeth into a career mode this week.

Picked up B22 Cena and 2 Ryders from Argos on the 3 for 2 offer.
Argos must get random boxes, cos all they had in stock was 5 Cenas, 2 Ryders and 2 B18 Punks, that was their delivery today because they had nothing in yesterday.
So I picked up a spare Ryder which I will trade (see classifieds if interested).
Glad a few people are reporting no E17 in their TRUs, gives me hope I might still find some in Bradford. Mankind is my main want, but am not paying £35 from WW.

Nothing at Bradford TRU - I asked the assistant to check in the back and they said all they had was out. Bit dubious as to whether they checked or not... Gutted.
E16 seems to be shelf-warming a bit, they've had the same Ortons, Slater and Zeke on the pegs for a couple of weeks now.

I remember an episode from Wrestling Challenge or Prime Time Wrestling where Bobby Heenan was talking trash about the Big Boss Man's mum, so Boss Man came out, beat up on the Brain a bit and cuffed him to the ringside guard rail for what I remember being the remainder of the show.
Brain was hilarious in those days, I absolutely loved him on color commentary back in the day.

Just went to TRU in Liverpool to try and get the BAF set.. No joy But..... I found Elite 17 !!!... Picked up Mankind and Ryder.. They only 1 case so all that's left how is 2 Cena, 2 Sheamus and a Kelly Kelly. They had Basic 21 and various battle packs including an Otunga/MMc set and a restock of two packs 5.. DX/ Steamboat/ Jericho etc I'm gonna post pics in the Mattel section when I get home. They had at least one more case in the back, thankfully! Got Mankind, Ryder, Kofi. Nice surprise after more BAF disappointment. Man, i'm gonna have to try Bradford TRU tonight. Fingers crossed they have E17 or WM BAFs, I dont mind which.

No new WM Elites at Bradford TRU today.
The shelves were stocked full with full sets of Elite 16 (no Nash), Basic Global Superstars and several Battle Packs.
Got to say its the healthiest i've seen their WWE section in such a long time, usually its just full of Flexforce.

Pretty gutted about this. Been ordering from them for such a long time, used to order videotapes from them by post when they were Mega Mail.
Its likely that there will be plenty of sales upcoming before the end of the year so i'm gonna keep some cash aside. They still have quite a few stuff I want to pick up.

How long do we reckon til we see B23 in Argos? Plus theres still BO2012 to come in the near future.
And a slight possibility of the WM Exclusives at TRU that have already appeared in the US (if we get them like last year).
Damn, could be an expensive couple of months ahead!!

Downloaded the demo for PS3 and played a few games tonight.
First impressions: graphics have been improved, game feels more fluid. First touch makes it more realistic but also can be annoying when the ball pings off somewhere. Some nice extra touches pre-game with the coin toss and handshake. Also in game player profile photos appear and the commentators will discuss the player. Touchline injury updates also let you know whether your guy is really injured or not.
Defending felt a little sluggish for some reason - the CPU had a far better and quicker reaction to loose balls. It also doesn't seem to register straight away when I wanted to change player so would tend to lose my man quite a bit, or when I put a cross in that hit the bar and looped up into the penalty area, it auto-selected a player on the edge of the box away from the ball and by the time I switched to a player in the area it was too late and CPU cleared.
Few minor annoyances which are hopefully sorted in the final game, or can be amended in the game options, but on the whole its looking good. I will be buying this. Will probably get the standard version, spent far too much time on UT in previous FIFAs that I would rather avoid it this time around and focus on the improved career mode.

I will be picking up Tully on release date.
Will pick up some Brain Busters jackets from Malph.
Will be good to get the second tag belt too - i'll be saving that for flashback Christian. Classic Edge and Christian will be displayed with those belts.

I got a BMW that came with a babrbie doll(fake one) from TRU and it fits perfectly! It doesn't say what scale iris though. A Barbie car is 1:6 scale too big for a basic figure in my opinion I was thinking that too that a Barbie car may be a bit on the big side. Have you any pics jeffhardythebest???

Does anyone have their Del Rio figures displayed in a convertible car of any kind?
I am looking for one to pick up - any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Whether its a plastic Ken/Barbie type car (not pink though!!!) or a die-cast model type car, I dont really mind, so long as the scale is ok.
Cheers.

What are the chances of us seeing the new Mattel Raw Stage at retail here in the UK?
I would love to get my son it for xmas, but online prices from the US are looking pretty steep, plus factor in the chance of a customs fee.

First figs I had were Hasbro Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior, both with the gorilla press slam action.
Bought them from Argos back in the day.

While I do collect the DC Imaginext figures I don't have the playsets (no room or I would) but it looks like it might be something that holds a figure into a spot. Is there an elevator or some sort of spinning chamber on them? If so maybe it clips into them? Also ask JokerFC I think he collects the playsets. Cheers for that. I've looked at all the elevator parts, secret doors, etc.. and they all work fine without this piece, nor can I find anywhere on them where this looks like it will fit? I'm stumped. I'll have to keep it to one side until I find out.
