Unbelievable findings in AUSTRIA last week: After visiting the German Toyfair in Nuremberg I went to Austria to visit my family. Every time I go there, I'm visiting the Toy store where I bought my Hasbro Action Figures back in the days, and since I knew they still have a lot of old stuff I thought maybe I'd have a chance to get a Doink (the fingers of mine are broken  ). What I've found were some double and single packs I haven't seen before there: THE ROCKERS, Bam Bam and some others. I already have those, so I thought it's time to leave but in that moment I've found the WWF Superstars Wrestling Arcade Game on the ground of the shelf (check the Attachment).  It has Copyright from 1991, needs no Batteries and I have never seen this before in Austria or Germany anywhere. They had 2 left, so I picked up both. If anyone's interested PM me! Never thought that I'll ever get the chance to find something... special here in Europe.  |

I had a TMNT one just like that, but I've never seen a WWF one before.

I wasn't the only one expecting to read about the Technos arcade game, right?

I got mine at KB for $5 or so I think. Had to have been that much or else mom wouldn't have bought it  |

I've paid about $20 per Game but since I've never seen these before I think they were worth it. |

Well, they weren't very elaborate toys, and there were no electronics involved, and as well as I can remember, that sounds about right. To give you guys a better sense of how it works, it's not exactly an "arcade game," either. There are little plastic targets across a horizontal pole, and when you shoot at them, they spin. Your "bullets" are little metal BBs that roll back down the sloped bottom and back to your gun to be fired again. Like I said, mine wasn't WWF, and I remember seeing these made for several different properties. It was a really fun toy to play with as a kid. The gun spun the targets with surprising force and there was no reloading time, so you could just go crazy with it. |

That is a cool little game. I got mine at KB Toys back many years ago. It holds up pretty well too. Last time I checked mine still worked. Me and my friends put hours on that thing when we were kids.

I had a small toy tabletop WWF pinball game from that era that I don't think was even working when I sold it on eBay over a decade ago. I actually got a decent amount of $ for it, all things considered.
