Ok I thought I would post about Mattel WWE action figures this time. If you are a WWE fan like myself, you probably know that Kmart is the Official sponsor of WWE Live events or something like that. I know that Kmart is billed as WWE Fan Central. So I belong to wfigs.proboards.com which is a forum for Wrestling figures. Members have posted about Kmart getting in a display cube full of Mattel WWE figure assortments. People have also reported to find the Elite series 16 Kevin Nash figure from the revision cases in those cubes. Yesterday I stopped in a Kmart after my 8:00 AM class to see if they had put the cube out. Surprisingly they had 2 cubes out for some reason. My guess is that the store is located in a higher populated area than where I live. Those 2 cubes contained Elite 16 The Rock, Randy Orton, and CM Punk. No Kevin Nash figure. Somebody probably got to them already. I already have E16 Diesel which is also Kevin Nash so no worries about that. I could live without the Kevin Nash from the revision cases. Now where was I? Oh yes, what the cubes contained. The cubes also contained that awful FlexForce stuff that clogs the shelves. Also there were Battle Pack series 18 in the cubes as well. For the single basic series figures there was series 22. I didn't need anyone from B22 because I have them in one form or another. I contemplated picking up a Booker T figure for my nephew's in Arizona but decided against it.
Last night I couldn't get out to my local Kmart due to being at a local concert. When I get home I checked my email and got one from my former coworker who also collects WWE figures. He asked me if I got the E16 Kevin Nash figure. I responded back and said no I wasn't at my local Kmart due to the concert. Anyway I went to my Kmart to see if they had the B21 Beth Phoenix. Well I lucked out. B21 was there but the Beth Phoenix's were gone. Usually Diva figures are packed 2 per cube and 1 per case. I did manage to get the B21 Mason Ryan figure. I like it a lot. It's better than his first figure that had an uncanny resemblance to pitchman Billy Mays. Also the Kmart cubes had the kid sized belts.

The Last 2012 Kmart Collector Day Didn't Suck This Time
As you may already know, I wasn't to happy with the first Kmart Collector Day of 2012. The second Kmart Collector Day which is today 9/15/2012 wasn't bad at all but not by much. I was a tad bit disappointed that they're wasn't any Chevrolet SS's at all. I was hoping I could get one because none of the stores in my area even got that wave. I refuse to buy them online. I hate scalpers they ruin collecting at other people's expense. Anyway I got to Kmart on my lunch break around 12:15ish around the same time I was at the first one. Usually at the last Kmart Collector Day of the year, they will have some of next years New Models. To my surprise there were none 2013 New Models. What a let down. There were a few 2013 segment series cars with updated packaging for the upcoming model year.
I didn't leave Kmart empty handed. I found 2 new 2012 New Models. One was Minion Pig from Angry Birds, and the other was a Custom '71 El Camino designed by Team Hot Wheels and GM. I'll admit I am not an Angry Birds fan at all. My phone isn't even a touchscreen phone. The reason why I bought the 2 Angry Birds cars this year was due to them being an oddity and also a licensed product. I know I know I broken my oath of never buying a non street vehicle Hot Wheels car ever again unless it's a Treasure Hunt car. I highly recommend the Red Bird and Minion Pig cars. Get them before the collectors grab them up. On a non Hot Wheels finding at Kmart, I found WWE Basic Series 19 on the pegs at my Kmart. So I looked to see if Hornswoggle was still there or if a scalper got to it yet. It was my Lucky day, Hornswoggle was there so I bought that as well. I also collect Mattel WWE figures.
So other than the ups and downs of the last 2012 Kmart Collector's Day, I'd have to say it was a great day for me. Even though there wasn't a good selection of Kmart exclusive colors New Models or 2013 New Models, this one didn't suck like the last one.
