Just In: WWF Spotlight Magazines

The WWF Spotlight series from WWF Magazine was always a personal favorite of mine. Even if you didn't particularly like the wrestler, the in-depth series of articles and historic photos made for an interesting package.

I just added five of these to the store. These are all in fantastic shape, and include their often-missing giant pull-out poster. I've seen these posters go for $20+ each if they're in good enough shape. This is a good chance to snag both the poster and the companion magazine.

• Spotlight Vol. 8 (Ted DiBiase)
• Spotlight Vol. 9 (The Rockers)
• Spotlight Vol. 10 (Big Boss Man)
• Spotlight Vol. 11 (The Hart Foundation)
• Spotlight Vol. 12 (Roddy Piper)
  

Some Announcements

Hope everyone is enjoying their day off. There's been little rest with us, as we've been burning the midnight oil to make some big changes for The Retropolis. So let's get our hands dirty and delve into these announcements.

• You can now visit our store by going to theretropolis.com. We hope to get a Web store independent of eBay by November. Until then, this will make it easier to access our eBay store.
• Check out our newly designed store front. After four years of the same store front, the time had come to retool it. Gone are several categories. In their place, you'll see more specific categories for our wrestling videos and magazines. Aaron and I worked diligently all weekend to get this finished by this morning, so have a look. We think you'll like it.
• We are now a sponsor of The History of WWE. For those of you who don't know, this is the definitive Web site for wrestling history. Need to know a match result from a PPV 20 years back? How about a house show result from 1992? Need a recap of TV show or an interview with a wrestling legend? This is your place for those needs and so much more. If you haven't already, check out the fantastic Web site, along with the message board. And don't forget to join the Facebook group. Speaking of Facebook...
• We're on there, too, now. Become a fan of ours by joining the group.

Check back this week for some new inventory, including WWF LJN figures.

Just In: OOP WWF DVDs

Long time, no update. We've been plugging away at keeping fresh stock coming into our eBay store. We recently added a number of out-of-print WWF, ECW, and WWE DVDs. Here are some of the highlights.

• Undertaker Two-Shot: Here's a chance to pick up a pair of Undertaker DVDs for one price. Included is his 2001 release This Is My Yard, a great set that includes a career retrospective program plus several classic Undertaker matches. Included are such memorable encounters as the first Hell in a Cell Match against Shawn Michaels, his icon showdown with HHH at Wrestlemania X-7, and his battles with brother Kane in 1998. Then there's He Buries Them Alive, which you Coliseum Video fanatics will recognize as a release from CV during the mid-90s. You'll get previously unseen battles with the likes of Jim Neidhart and Jerry Lawler there.

• Summerslam '99: The recent anthology releases of the big WWF PPVs has some viewers deeming the original video and DVD releases obsolete. Not true. These original releases feature no music or blurring edits, which is unfortunately not the case with the anthology sets. But there's good news. You can score Summerslam '99, one of these events hampered with edits in the new release, here with no edits at a great price. There's the triple-threat main event between HHH, Mankind and Steve Austin featuring the return of Jesse Ventura. There's also a forgotten classic in Test vs. Shane McMahon. And don't miss other old favorites such as DX, The Undertaker, Big Show, Chris Jericho, The Rock, and more.

• Hardy Boyz- Leap of Faith: It's hard to believe the Hardy Boyz have effectively been entertaining fans for over a decade. Get back to their roots, with this OOP DVD that recaps the cream of the crop from the duo's first two years in the WWF. Classic encounters with Edge & Christian, The Acolytes, and The Dudleyz are chronicled for your viewing pleasure.

We've got some more WWE and WWF DVDs coming this week, so stay tuned. Follow us on Twitter (user name: TheRetropolis) for up-to-the-minute updates about new inventory.
