Today, I went to Croydon, Wimbledon and Purley Way Retail Park. Little adventure for me. ;c) Scary, Croydon on your own. But meh, who cares?

Hey CGJ.
I just got back from Croydon, found a lot of figures. Good ones, too. Only came back with two figures. Still, I saved £50 for future buyings.

He was putting them out, beside the Septic Sludge lol, as soon as I got there. I spoke to him about it and he said that the rumours about Toys R Us not selling WWE Figures anymore are false, and that some newer sets would be coming in and around January and February. He appeared to know what he was talking about. He said that no more new sets would be arriving before Christmas. I hope that they get in RA5 and RA7.
That's about it. I think.
I came away with:
RA1 Brock Lesnar
RA6 Rob Van Dam
Cost me £8 and £6.99 respectivly, so a total of £14.99. Not bad for a hard to find, rare figure and a newer figure. Takes my total number of RA figures up to 4, mu'uh.

Come on CGJ, lets make lurve. Sweet sweet lurve. Or, just talk about 'rasslin' figures. Your choice.
*ahem*
Oi, I thought I told the rest of you to leave. Schoo!
Oh well.
The trouble is with the Rithless Aggression series is that the arm muscles are to big. Chavo has the arms the size of Scott Steiner.
Madness.
My favourite RVD figure is RA6. I'm gunna go back and get Yellow Card (which is WWE, not WWF :cS) Ric Flair and Lance Storm. Oh, and my Hogan figure arrived today, but I was asleep and so missed the post. I'll go get it on Monday, I expect.
And I've forgotten what else you said in your post. :cD

I have seen the billy & Torrie on the internet. And thats who he reminded me of. Get that Maven. As a chritmas pesent*

I have 2 Undertakers. Is t worth getting that one with Eddie?

If you lived in Wimbledon, you probably would have a Womble rummaging through your rubbish. *shakes fist*
*: For me.

Yellow Card is £3.99 and has the WWF logo on it, whereas the Red Card is £9.99 and had the WWE logo on it.

Rhyno and Benoit is good but Torrie and Billy...eurgh. I don't see why everyone likes it? There's only one use for that Billy head and that's if I was making a Graham Norton custom. It looks so much like him. The attire is nice. I would use the Billy head that comes with Rebellion Billy (I think). Torrie, well, she is too pink. Hurts my eyes. Twice now, I have been tempted to buy Maven but put the box back on the shelf.

Wait for RA5 John Cena, or AD4 John Cena/Undertaker. AD4 is better as it's in his new attire. RA5 is in jeans.

I would hate to live in Wimbledon. :cD Croydon is even worse.
I live like 40 mins away, but Sunbury is on the same line as Wimbledon, so I might as well go there for my figures.

Woolies finally decided to put the newer figures out, I guess.
Hamleys
Not much really
So, I went to £-Stretcher to get RA1 Rey Mysterio but half of the WWE stock had been put away, as they had made the shelves look neater. I couldn't be bothered to ask her to go get it from the back.
I went to the import shop, which incidently is called "A Place in Space", if you're interested, and got RA5 Shawn Michaels.
Is that the one you bought?
