King Pitcos Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Euroshop is terrible, I reckon. If you're buying online, www.smythstoys.com is the best place, especially for standard figures. After that, Amazon.com (not marketplace sellers, Amazon themselves) is about the same price but you're waiting a week or so for delivery from the US... And third, www.toysrus.co.uk -- but Toys R Us don't often update their photos for figures, so a John Cena figure for example might have a picture of a Cena figure from 2011 on the site but will actually be the latest one that's actually in stock.  In person, Smyths is best, and Toys R Us a distant second. Argos has a few figures as well, but they're pretty crap lately.  For the ones you're after:  Daniel Bryan £9.99 http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/action-figures-playsets/c-340/wwe/p-6932/wwe-basic-series-41-daniel-bryan/ or he's included in a £40 ring set with barriers, tables etc http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/action-figures-playsets/c-340/wwe/p-7342/wwe-ringside-battle-playset-with-figure-accessories/  Roman Reigns £9.99 http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/action-figures-playsets/c-340/wwe/p-9249/wwe-basic-series-42-roman-reigns/ -- isn't in stock online, but the stock checker shows it available in most of the branches still. Or A1 Toys on Amazon UK are selling it for £13 odd http://www.amazon.co.uk/Series-Reigns-Wrestling-Action-Figure/dp/B00JPKUM18/  Brock Lesnar $8 something www.amazon.com/WrestleMania-Brock-Lesnar-Action-Figure/dp/B00FYX66G0/ (or http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/action-figures-playsets/c-340/wwe/p-9462/wwe-elite-s30-brock-lesnar/ if you want a slightly more expensive elite one £17.99 with more articulation and a t-shirt and some tracksuit bottoms)  Ambrose & Rollins $19.99 http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Rollins-Ambrose-Action-Figure/dp/B00G9871AY/  If you bought the Lesnar and Ambrose/Rollins two-pack from Amazon all together, you're looking at £28.43 for the three of them including postage and customs.  Edit: Some of the links aren't displaying properly here, copy and paste them if it's the same for you.

Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted October 6, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 King Pitcos, I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again; but you're amazing. Thank you for the effort you put into that response. You could have easily just said "Symths" and been done with it. So seriously, thanks for the effort. That's the Christmas shopping for him sorted anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Argos really is pot luck. You have to do a stock view before buying and it really is random what figure and from what series they have, especially elites. Argos have had good offers recently (Elites at  £13.99, and 3for2) but never stock up.  Another good place online is www.A1toys.com £1 or too more expensive than retail but cheaper than other online stores  Also check out www.beyondtheropes.co.uk not the biggest selection but what they have is generously priced and a top guy to deal with too.  www.wrestlingshop.com have a decent selection, Ive never used them.

King Pitcos Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 No problem, JohnnyChimpo. It's not often I have enough of a clue to help someone, so I'm glad to have been of some use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) My nephew has just got into wrestling. He wanted a Roman Reigns for his birthday so I got to go to Smyths and Toys r us and buy wrestling figures for the first time since my borthers were young. It was like being 11 again and looking at a wall of Hasbros. I loved it. Roman was only a tenner so I bought him Daniel Bryan as well.  He wants a title belt for Xmas. The big gold belt which seems to be the rarest. £27 is best I can find so far for a new one. (Edit: Ignore that. Clicked Pitcos's Smyths link and they have it for £20. Result.)

King Pitcos Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 The release is to coincide with SummerSlam, the figure will probably come out a month or so earlier, so about July. Maybe late June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted October 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 7, 2014 In my mind, action figures still cost £4-£5 like the Hasbros did when I was a kid. I'm still shocked (god knows why I should be) when I see them for sale for £10-£12 in Tesco or what have you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 8, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 8, 2014 For those looking for Xmas presents for younger fans, Home Bargains often have WWE stock at good prices.  My local one actually had a whole range of official 5'' rubber mini-figures recently- I'd never seen them anywhere else before and I can't actually find anything about them online at all! Has anyone seen these? I'm not talking about the Rumblers series here, they were bigger than those. They were unarticulated figures and pretty poor quality, but for £1.99 a pop you could get Cena, Punk, Bryan, Sheamus, Taker, Kane, Rey, Del Rio, Brodus Clay and Big Show. That's a whole mini-roster for twenty notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, they were even worse -- The Entertainer wanted £6 each for them last Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loligan Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I was in smyths on Sunday and the choice is outstanding. Was a nice bonus for me seeing Lex Luger still on the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapnuts Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I quite like the thick black line with stars on it but the wings aren't my cuppa tea, nor is that huge black panelling on his back, and yeah those two thin line down his arm are a bit random. But the line of stars, the line of stars are okay :-P Edited October 9, 2014 by Slapnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
