This is for me and CGJ only. So the rest of you, keep your anti-figure-ness out of my sight. Tarts. ;c)

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.

Woolworths

Might as well get it out of the way.

RU Kurt Angle
RU Jeff Hardy
SU Kane
SU Kurt Angle
SU Triple H
SU The Rock

£-Stretcher

RA1 Brock Lesnar
RA1 Rey Mysterio (not BORA)
RA1 Randy Orton
BORA Eric Bischoff
BORA Chavo Guerrero
RA3 John Cena

Plus Flex-em's and Unlimited

Import Shop

RA5 Kevin Nash
RA5 Shawn Michaels
Bad Blood Steve Austin
Bad Blood Triple H
Bad Blood Scott Steiner
RA6 Triple H
RA6 Rob Van Dam
RA6 Maven
RA6 Kurt Angle

Forbidden Planet

DRAFT Scott Hall
DRAFT Undertaker
DRAFT Steven Richards
DRAFT Kevin Nash
DRAFT Chris Benoit
DRAFT Chris Jericho

Toys R Us

RA2 Tommy Dreamer
RA2 Scott Steiner
RA2 Jamie Knoble
RA2 Dave Batista
RA2 Rico
RA2 Billy Kidman

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.

DW

----------------

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!

How do you know you got your Hogan figure today if you where asleep.
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.

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*

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.

Wonder why they had both the cards out. Is the yellow one the newer version of un-chained fury?

Got a new figure today.

Forbidden Planet - London

UCF Ric Flair (Red Card)
UCF Ric Flair (Yellow Card)
UCF Lance Storm (Red Card)
UCF Lance Storm (Yellow Card)

Woolworths - Croydon and Wimbledon

RA6 Triple H
RA6 Maven
RA6 Kurt Angle
RU Jeff Hardy
AD2 Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio
AD2 Johnny Stamboli and Chavo Guerrero
AD2 Test and Stacy Kiebler

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.
