Just wanted to share and see how many old timers have been ordering from Ringside Collectibles.
My first order was in January 1996 for WWF Hasbro Yellow Card Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels MOC.
I still have them thought the packages are pretty beat up.
After that I made my first pre-order for Jakks Series 1 after I read that Razor Ramon and Diesel figures would be short pack due them leaving after Wrestlemania XII. Ringside guaranteed I would get Razor and Diesel or I would get my money back.
The rest is now history.
So when was your first RSC order and what was it?

My first actual order from RSC was years ago when I ordered protective cases for my Jakks WWE Classic figs. Now I can't find protective cases anywhere lol....

The first order I ever remember placing with Ringside Collectibles was back in Spring 2001. I can't remember if it was a regular order or pre-order, but I remember getting Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, Prince Albert and Raven from Rulers of the Ring Series 3. |

I remember going on the site back in the late 90s but never bought anything. For some reason I always though the site was fake, lol. I don't think I bought anything until about 2006 or 2007. I don't even remember what I bought, if I had to guess it was probably one the Classic Superstars figures.

I ordered the bone crunching series 4, which was called "Bad Guys" or something to that effect b/c everyone in it was heel. It was SCSA's first jakks figure. So I guess this was back in late 1996.

That must've been the website where I first saw BCA Series 4 online way before they hit stores and it blew my mind!

"Bad Boys" is the name, but you've got the right idea. Are you sure it wasn't in early 1997? To my knowledge, Ringside Collectibles wasn't offering pre-orders for Series 4 until mid-to-late February '97. |

I don't even remember what I bought, if I had to guess it was probably one the Classic Superstars figures. The site did look fake. I remember telling myself the same thing. I was worried when I ordered the Hasbro Yellow Card Razor and Shawn. The price was for less than $20 each which was way cheaper than the $50 other places were selling them at the time. They proved to be the real deal. |

I might place my first order soon for that Alicia Fox, because I can't pay the outrageous $10 shipping people want on ebay lol. All I really want is her head and arms anyway.

The year was 1996. RSC was selling Jakks Bone Crunching action figures, Jack Specific had a full head of hair and TRW was on his first marriage.....Ahh the good ol days.

i remember going on the site back when Bone Crunching figs were out. I never bought anything though.
i wanna say Figure Zone? was the place to go to talk about wrestling figs and Jakks bone cruncher news.
But then i think Figure Zone became the RSC newsletter?
i distincly remember reading about the Jakks Legends series (ANdre/blassie/Snuka) before they were released. And u would get lots of rumored BCA line-ups. Some were true some weren't

I didn't know RSC was aground for the hasbro days. I remember towards the end of the Hasbro run getting the FiguresInc catalog and the prices were insane. I even remember seeing series 1 of the JAKKS figs in the book. I didn't know about Ringside until years later. I messed around w the JAKKS figs for prob about a year and that was it.

I called it The Wrestling Figure War Zone. I even setup a lame message board too. Talk about a throw back. |

Pretty sure my first ever order was for an MOC Blue Blazer sometime in the late summer of 99. I remember being worried that i was gonna be scammed out of my 40 bucks since i didnt know anyone that had ordered from them. And, back then i never paid more than retail for anything. But Blazer was the only WWF figure i didn't have. But they came through, so i was happy. After that it was just miscellaneous figures here and there, until RA series 1 and CS series 1 were shown. Then i placed my first ever pre order for full sets.
