I could NEVER find the Nasty Boys. NEVER. To this day it is one of the biggest pieces I want to add to my collection. It took me around four years to find them on a mint cards real pain getting the Nasty Boys.

I lucked out and had a cool mom who let our various missed opportunities to get Andre in 1990-91 forever alter her willingness to buy new Hasbros. She tracked down LOD in time for my birthday in 1992 and, fine gal that she is, paid a cool $50 for the Nasty Boys from a collectibles shop in RI in late 1993 after our searches yielded nothing.

Which shop,? I'm a lifelong RI'er and frequented all the old collectibles shops.

That is an amazing find. At the end of the Hasbro era, my local toy shop (McDonalds toys in Glasgow!!) reduced all of their remaining Hasbros to £2 (about $3). I bought loads of them, but opened them all because I was 8!! I wish if kept them carded sometimes as they were all red and green carded figures

I remember finding the complete yellow card set at KB Toys with that same sale. I remember the yellow cards being tough to find as that KB was the only place I ever saw them as a kid. Same with the red cards too actually...however those I could only find at those off the wall toy shops and the prices were always marked up!

Did they sell foreign carded figures at KB Toys back then? Just curious. I don't remember. Hell, my mom was the one buying these for me then. Haha.
