Looking Back....

[HardyHeft]

Have you veer looked at a figure and remember where and when you got it? thats what ive been doing recently. My Classic Wall is next to my CPU so i always look at it but today i "looked" at it. I rememebr getting my CS4 Piper at KB toys. i remember Finding LOD and the Rockers at my TRU just after i saw Pics of them at TF.

My Classic Wall. ( Im trying to sell )



what are your fondest memories of finding figures.

[Y3RP: LA MARAVILLA!!!]

no lie i can honestly say i can remember where i bought all my figures! aswell not sure if anyone else does this........but i saved all my store & online recipits! i got a box full. but iam afraid too add it all up

[ricflair4ever]

There's either a sense of extreme pride or abysmal fear when thinking of tallying up the cost over the years. Lol. Back to topic though,yeah I can remember where I bought most of my collection. And any stories or interesting circumstances surrounding them. Especially the long hunts and the surprise finds. Jakks,no matter what the future holds,will always have a special place in my heart for years of fond memories.

I do the same thing when I go into my figure room I remember every figure from every place I bought them dating back to the BCA days.

[Neos]

I can honestly say that I remember where I got all of my figures and I got at least 750+ of them right now. Figure collecting is sure expensive, I could probably buy a house with all the money I have spent on figures alone.

Yep, Classic Series 1 in a KB Toys.

PPV20 Jeff Hardy at Sainsburys

I asked my Dad to look for him when he was doing the shopping/grocerys. He came home and said there were no jeff hardys. I described to him what jeff looked like and he said, and i quote. "He could be wearing a bikini for all I care . I didn't see him" then he realised there was a person with facepaint. So he drove down as fast as he could to get him, and since they were buy one get one free I got rey from the set too

[Scott!]

classic 1 andre, i really wantted it so me and my dad drove to toys r us for it, last one there too

[brochester]

I also can remember where I got all of mine. My best story is at a local flea market in Beaufort, SC while I was still in the Marine Corps. I walked around and found a guy with a lot of wrestlers saling for $5 a piece. I had most of them but as I kept looking I came across The Roadwarriors Classic Tag-Team Series 1. He said $10 cuz there's 2 of them. (this was a country fellow who had know idea what he had) I said done deal, gave him the money and I wasn't about to tell him that at the time this MOC tag-team was going for well over $100 bucks. The bad thing is that I probably could have talked him down but didn't, I knew I was getting a deal.

[TheXtremisT]

I remember where I got every single figure from my 350+ collection, plus the month and year
Same goes for all my marvel legends (~100), mattel Batman (~25) and Star Wars (~40+)

[Callum1993]

The majority of mine came from Woolworths, PoundStretcher, Argos, Toys R US, Forbidden Planet, Bonny Street Market and the Who in Blackpool, Tesco and from the Internet. First one was a BCA Slammers Thrasher from Woolworths back in 1998

I remember going to every TRU i could looking for the CSDA Chainsaw Charlie.I finally found one 3 weeks later and it was the last one too.

I remember marking out in the middle of TRU when i finally found the CS 27 Dr. Death Steve Williams. It was the last one they had.

I remember I walked into a KB Toys and Mark Henry 1/500 was in the front of one of the pegs. I walked right over it, then I looked again, and I was like "wait...a 1/500!!"

[stonecold316]

my 1st CS since Bundy & Orndorff. CS 26 Andre. Saw Hart, but I decided, regardless, I'll be content.

[Deleted]

I remember pretty much where I got all my figures from, be it online or retail.

I especially remember picking up Ric Flair, George Steele and Dude Love from my local TRU for $15 each.

[Gangrel-Brood]

The first twelve CS sets came from RSC...that alone could've gotten me a Jag if I hadn't taken up collecting the line.

[LeighD]

I remember about 95% when, where, and how I obtained my CS collection....and I have [almost] every single CS figure made variants and all!

[LA Times]

95% of my wrestling figures are either from Toys R Us or trading on Classy Fieds. I like having a story as to how I got my figures instead of "I ordered them from Ringside Collectibles and received them in the mail 7 days later".

[ICHIBAN 一番]

most of my unmatched fury were from ringside as we couldnt get the later series in the u.k, so unfortunately..

"I ordered them from Ringside Collectibles and received them in the mail 7 days later".

[Blackbird.]

I remember looking for Hawk and Animal, CS6 I think it was, couldn't even find one of them for 6 months, and then I found them BOTH at once in a place called Toymaster, which was quite possibly the worst place ever for figures usually. Absolute steal at £5 each.
