"DW and CGJ's loveshack..."

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!

No. Only 60 seconds. And if it did, you could mold it back into place. Be sure to dry the head before removing it.

Nope. Put them in boiling water for 60 seconds.

So... do you just rip the heads off?

Same with out TRU's.

Just a wee question...what shops are at Lakeside? I was gunna catch the bus there.

Onto figure news:

Just made my first proper fix-ups, switching the RA5 and BTN heads over. Shame that my BTN now has a loose head. But looks great. And it might be...better...when it dries.

Also, made my first TTL fix-up, using some old Billy Gunn pants, a new lower body legs and new upper body with the TTL9 head. Looks pretty good.

My mum bought my brother Perry Saturn and Price Albert for £2.55 each for Christmas. And they were the last ones! Still, I'm going Romford tomorrow so I will have a look.
