good luck, some of those figures go for a pretty penny....My Flair is my favorite but other favs of mine are Road Warriors, Larry Zbyskco(sp) and the midnight rockers

awa remco figures are a great line to collect. finding complete figures of certain guys can be difficult. i have complete versions of the more common figures(bockwinkel, freebirds, road warriors,ect.
the more rare figs i'm content with the figures w/no accessories.
like Rose, Sommers, and sheik.
i've done most of my findings on ebay.however if you search you will find online retailers where you can find some, for a price.
be patient.

I got all of my AWA Remco figures through eBay. Finding loose ones complete or even MOC versions van be very difficult and expensive, especially the Mat Mania series. Some can go for $ 400 loose or $ 1,000 MOC.
The first series (Zbyszko, Martel, Road Warriors etc.) should be easy enough to find though on eBay if you have a little patience.

Ebay is almost devoid of good AWA figures lately. The prices have dropped on so many of the common ones that people aren't listing like they used to. But it's still your best bet for loose and complete figures. In the past few years I have managed to get MINT, loose, and complete version of Martel and Von Raschke, The Fabulous Ones (that even still had the original, and very yellow, tape holding their bowties on), and Flair and Zbyszko for less than ten dollars a set. Pay close attention to the condition if buying loose and look to make sure all of the original accessories are intact (the database on this site has excellent photos reference).
My best find was at a local sale though, where I found a guy with a table full of Remcos for $2 each. I got Buddy Rose and Doug Sommers for a total of $4 (good to fair condition and missing robes, but still an incredible find).

The AWA Remco figures are sweet. The Road Warriors are my favorite.

Hello everyone,
AWA's really are FANTASTIC and underrated figures.
If I may add, I do have several AWA Remcos MIB that I'm interested in parting with - including MOST of the Mat Mania figures.
If anyone is interested in making a SERIOUS investment into AWA Remcos, drop me a line.
