I worked at TRU and helped set the endcap of the initial launch of the Mattel line.
It was awesome and I bought Elite 1 Punk and to this day I kick myself for letting that one go.

I remember the day TRU had the new mattel display for the new WWE figures. I bought a complete set of Elite series 1 and I believe I picked up a Cena and kofi with those goofy belts.

My first figure was a basic rock wrestlemania edition. I bought it for a wrestlemania 31 party as a grand prize. The person who picks the most wins of the event wins the figure. I ended up winning it. So essentially i bought it for myself. But i got into figures with my buddy gifted me an elite Eddie Guerrero for my birthday. Thats when the madness began.

I got back into collecting because I was a huge CM Punk fan and he had won the title and I started thinking, "Man, I want a CM Punk figure." I never bought a Punk figure when Jakks still had the WWE license. Then I thought, "Man, I want to play with a CM Punk figure." Then that turned into, "But I'll need another figure to play with that figure. And a ring. And I need more than two wrestlers." So eventually I went to my local Target, bought up a ton of figures and a ring on clearance and then the next week went to TRU and spent even more money. Now my collection is probably between 100 and 200 figures from all generations. I'd have a lot more money if I never got back into it. But I'm very happy with what I have and enjoy playing with it.
First basics I bought (that I remember): World Champions CM Punk, Daniel Bryan with No No No trunks, Miz with the first slicked back hair and awful scan, Kane (I think). First elite: Dolph Ziggler with the pink trunks and black vest.
I wanted to stick to basics first because they were just as good as Jakks in terms of movement and cheap. Now what I collect is 95% elites.

Was in Kmart for some odd reason and came across Legends Rock and Stone Cold. Hadn't collected in years, but obviously being an Attitude Era guy, i had to have them and i was instantly hooked.

I think it was either Elite 1 Edge and Undertaker, or Entrance Greats Rey Mysterio, or the entire series of Basic 1 (a TRU employee had called me mid-December and I went there to buy one of each, one being a 1/1000 Triple H).
