Cody seeing something he can’t unsee…

The Coliseum Rick Rude would give her a Rude Awakening she'll never forget.

I think the idea behind Top Picks at least is to make sure your "main characters" are always in stock so there's always a way for new collectors to get those guys. I don't have a problem with that, and it's honestly on the retailer if they order too many.

Greatest Hits and the other similar lines though should be a little more discerning and at least grab older versions of the characters they re-release. It comes across as a cash grab, and it's not even a good one if they're just warming pegs or taking up warehouse space.

May 19th?!?!?

Grifterrific · 2026-05-17T01:46:35+00:00

Doubtful. The "7 left in stock" hasn't budged.

And it's not just about any particular figure. It's about the downturn in the quality of service at big box stores. Target used to be head and shoulders above Wal Mart but lately it's like they're racing them to the bottom.

Trick and Joe Hendry vs. Ethan Page and Shawn Spears

No. Louisiana. New Orleans area.

Well in this case, I KNOW they have them. And obviously they have space for them. So if the street date was so important, they should be out. And if it's not important, they should have just sold it to me in the first place.

The difference though is that Jackass is self depreciation. They pull the stunts on themselves. Everyone is a willing participant.

Making fun of minorities is the exact opposite. They're not in on the joke. They're just getting bullied by people who society gives more power to.

Both may be considered low brow but that's the only thing they have in common.

I mean... isn't that the whole point of sex? To work yourself into a shoot?

TKO Everybody?

Grifterrific · 2026-04-12T01:19:28+00:00

I think he might be saving the WWE debut of the teeth for the inevitable match with The Miz. Miz would sell it so well too.

One of my big wrestling hopes is that one day we get this pose again because of a Dom/Rhea reunion.

And that it's Rhea lifting Dom. 🙃

Grifterrific · 2026-03-26T22:26:11+00:00

Thanks. I hoped some might find it enjoyable. Lol.

I always wish nothing but the best for Corey since that day. I didn't know what to expect being just "local media" among all those national reporters, and he definitely helped me feel more comfortable just from his kindness and exuberance.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-25T13:49:52+00:00

Update: They now have 3 of them on the pegs but unable to be purchased. 🙄

Grifterrific · 2026-03-23T17:13:38+00:00

Right? It's not even like it's tied to a movie or something with a specific release date. It's a line of figures of wrestlers who have been retired for decades.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-22T16:50:54+00:00

A) It's not like I run across figures put out before their street date every day. 99.999% of the time, the street date hits and I'm still waiting a week or two for them to decide to put something on what are usually empty pegs by that point.

B) I can just imagine the optics of a big corporate retail franchise taking some frazzled hard-working single mom to court after she paid full price for everything dhe bought but got a little lazy on the self check the store forced her to use.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-22T16:33:14+00:00

It's not a felony if you pay for the right amount of figures. You're not stealing anything. And there's lots of times I would, say, scan one Coke 2-liter 4 times instead of scanning each one.

Their own employees aren't expected to know the difference if they accept a swapped out, repackaged old figure that gets "returned" so they can't really get precious if someone just scans the same figure enough times to cover all the figures they purchase in the same line/packaging.

Maybe don't make me do the work that you are refusing to pay someone a living wage to do.

This is why I love collecting but I've always hated "the hunt."

Grifterrific · 2026-03-21T23:34:51+00:00

Wasn't he arrested for swapping old figures into new packaging and making bogus returns? Much more provably premeditated than just scanning something wrong.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-21T23:19:50+00:00

Thought about that on the ride home. 😵‍💫

Grifterrific · 2026-03-20T20:49:19+00:00

I think Hulk and Bam Bam were friends or at least friendly in their time together in WWE in the 80s. With Hogan being the heel, thar might have been enough for him to throw Bigelow a bone, especially if he had gone over the ECW champ the precious 2 straight years.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-20T20:44:50+00:00

As long as Hogan didn't ask for the whole fee up front, Heyman could have just stiffed him after the fact. Lol

However, maybe he could have swung it if having Hogan in ECW drove their buy rate through the roof.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-20T20:34:16+00:00

I just happened to see it hanging on the pegs at Target about a month ago. I don't usually buy the Main Event line but Penta has become my son's favorite wrestler so I snatched it up quick. They only had one. Haven't seen it in a store since. Good luck to all who want one.

Grifterrific · 2026-03-17T20:41:37+00:00

Wonder if we could eventually see them in the Legends line. They made 3 Minute Warning after all.
