So yeah, I was won over by the Eric Bischoff book sale....after Bischoff bragged about getting a $50,000 royalty check from WWE last quarter for his book while working for TNA, WWE promptly lowered the price of his book on the website to $1.98.
So I grabbed it, which was my plan all along once it hit that price on Amazon used. This said, I heard mixed reviews on the book, and most did not like it. But hey, he's a big part of wrestling litany the last couple of decades.
So while poking about I saw a spring-cleaning area, and threw a few other randoms on there. Heres what I nabbed....got the whole batch for $20.
The Bischoff Book
A Paul Burchill action figure!
A CM Punk bobblehead for Dana
A CM Punk air-freshener!
Dvd of Summerslam 2003, which was the only DVD in the clearance rack, and which I probably already have on a tape upstairs, cause it was only $3.98.
Fun fun! I should have also got the Ric Flair Christmas ornament....I may raid the thing again.

Oh I had a field trip with the clearance. And since my birthday is a week from Sunday i got to take advantage.
I got the new shirts for Edge, HHH, CM Punk and HBK. I got the CM Punk skull cap. I also get the various lounging shorts of my favorites because they're comfortable to sleep in so I like to have a surplus so to not run out when it's time for laundry. A lot are old and gone, or victims or wear and tear so I got the Punk shorts which were normally 30 bucks were cut down to 15 clams.
Then I got my Wrestlemania stuff. For a while I've been meaning to start collecting the different merch each year for Mania and this is the year I start. I got the red Wrestlemania 26 shirt and the Red and Black hat. I was going to get the white shirt but I didn't like the way they wrote the date and Arizona on the back so i went with the red, looks much better. And I was going to leave it at that and just collect the shirt and hat each year but the zip up sweat jacket caught my eyes. It's a throwback to the old way the Mania logos used to look. It's black and gold and there's no like red in it, or some kind of Arizona theme to it. It's just a plain black jacket with the old school looking Wrestlemnia 26 going across. I think it looks awesome and by the far the best piece of merch promoting the event.
I too get the figures, I've been getting them since I used to make cards as a kid. As I've gotten older I never had the heart to get rid of them despite the collecting dust. But I plan on one day proudly displaying all my figures when I can afford the space. And with the new line of figures out I'm starting from scratch and only collecting the Mattel figures from now on. So from the new line I ordered and will get them in the mail the following figures.
Shawn Michaels Chris Jericho Randy Orton Triple H Edge Big Show Kane Rey Mysterio Evan Bourne Miz Morrison Cody Rhodes Ted Di Biase Carlito Primo Kane and Mark Henry.
And in light of taking the steps to start displaying the figures I've been collecting almost 20 years I've been collecting different ways, or want to start collecting different display cases. And I ordered both a Raw ring and Smackdown ring to display each shows stars. I haven't bought figures in a long time and with the clearance I had to go crazy. Can't wait for my Mania merch though.
