A Holy Grail, 1/100 Roddy Piper - 22/6/19

[Scott!]

UPDATED 22/6/19

Thanks to an amazing deal from ~*Young $ Money*~ I finally have this piece back in my collection. It really is a dream come true to own this again, I never thought I would after selling one a few years ago before stopping collecting. This may be the mint-est figure I own, there's not a thing wrong with it! So happy!!




UPDATED 10/6/19

I got a few things came in this week so decided to wait until the bulk of it got here before updating this post. I got 6 new figures since last week, enjoy the pictures

It's my man, the Coach... it says so on his ass, in case you didn't know.



Classic Series 1 HBK -



Classic Series 17 Shane McMahon



Hulk Hogan Blue Canada Exclusive



Mankind Classic Series 2



Main Event HBK







UPDATED 3/6/19

I ordered my very first custom figure last week, and I'm freaking blown away by how good it is. It's just a 1/7000 Billy Graham with Black tights, but the quality of the box, you'd think it was a real release. I was expecting it to just look like an opened box with a figure put in but it's sealed and I can't believe I only got it for £15!

I also took the plunge into some regular release from the main series. Ric Flair was only £12 posted and Undertaker was £20. Both two of my favourites from the line so happy to have them!







UPDATED 29/5/19

I ordered these two from the same seller a couple weeks ago and they arrived today. The 1/500 Giant Gonzales was a seriously big want, and its one I thought would be extremely hard to get so when I bought the Hogan I checked the sellers other listings and he had one. I bought it straight away. Really happy with it, I really wish it had a stamp or something on it to indicate its a 1/500 but I also think its quite cool it doesn't, if you get me. Funny thing about the Hogan is that I've bought both Canada Exclusive versions of each, but I haven't bought the normal American releases yet.





UPDATED 28/5/19

I purchased these two quite cheap in my opinion, I got William Regal for £10 and Hogan was an even £30. Both arrived today in mint condition, and can I just say I freaking love the small boxes. My plan is to get more (I actually have the Hogan/HBK set coming in the mail), I have my eye on The Coach & Val Venis figures on my watch list that may get bought soon!






UPDATED 24/5/19

Today I got two deliveries which is always nice. I scored the Best of British William Regal & British Bulldog on a Facebook group for £20 posted. Really nice looking set, was actually exclusive to Argos here in the UK (I don't know if it actually came out in America and other places). I used to have it when I was younger so I snagged it straight away. The 1/5000 Hillbilly Jim has been one of those figures that for some reason I was desperate to get, I'd even go so far on saying its one of my grail pieces and I have no clue why. I remember when I was a kid collecting figures, I got the Hillbilly Jim & Yokozuna CS4 From a local shop and they had the 1/5000 but my mum wouldn't let me get it. Now at 25, this is the first time I've owned it. Bonus ball? It's signed too.







UPDATED 17/5/19

Jeff Hardy, Bret Hart, what more is there to say... Absolute gem of a set this is, really happy to have added it to my collection.



UPDATED 13/5/19

So completing the 1/3000 collection has been my goal recently. Aside from the Bash at the Beach Hulkster & The Dusty Rhodes in the small boxes, I have them all bought. Edge is on it's way to me as well so once that comes in I'll have a full set.

The Cactus is autographed but to be honest I aint interested in the Sig because hopefully I'll get the chance to meet Mick again one day and get it signed to me, so I'm gonna take the autograph off with nail polish remover (its only in sharpie so it'll come off in seconds lol). The Hogan & 'Taker came in today and the Hogan is Mint, probably the mintest figure I own. Taker was a wee bit expensive but the prices on it seem to be wild so I'm happy with the deal I got.









UPDATED 9/5/19

I found a listing from the Netherlands on eBay for this 2-1 Wrestlemania Ticket Promotion Hulk Hogan that was almost £50 cheaper than the cheapest listing in the UK. Bought it straight away and it arrived in mint condition today. I used to have this figure years ago signed by Hulk Hogan but when I sold up it went. Glad to have it again. The Sunny 1/3000 is a strange one. I remember when a UK site (wrestlingworld) were practically giving this away at one point it was that cheap. To get it now I had to pay £45 which is £10 off what I paid for her 1/100.






UPDATED 7/5/19

Got to love when you get 3 packages in one day! The 1/100 Rey I got on eBay on a random German listing that I found, I ended up paying $175 for it but it was one I really wanted to get back. It's my favourite Rey Mysterio figure!

The Billy Graham set is now complete, I got the three 1/7000's in the past couple of days so that means I have all 5 Exclusive Billy Grahams. They look good on their own shelf, lol.













UPDATED 6/5/19

3 new Classic figures in the mail this week! Roberts/Martel 1/100 set came from eBay, Sherri came from a facebook group & Slaughter came from Amazon.








UPDATED 2/5/19

Such a cool figure! Although I need to get the Employee Edition & The "unstamped" 1/100 so I'm gonna have 3 of these one day. Still, love it!



UPDATED 29/4/19

I've not got 3 different "Rowdy" Roddy Pipers, and 3 to go! Still need both the 1/100 & 1/20 Boxing Gloves Pipers along with one I only found out about today, the loose "bagged" 1/10000 that came with the Real Scale Ring. I'm more than satisfied with the deal I got on this (although if i'd have waited one more day, facebook would have pulled through with a cheaper price!) but still, great figure. Love the leather jacket and cloth kilt. Being Scottish, I'm a huge Kilt fan! Especially at a wedding, you know what I'm saying, lol.




UPDATED 27/4/19

My favourite figure ever, and most expensive purchase yet! Finally after 3 years of searching I got the chance to own it again. I cannot express how much I love this figure. One day I'll meet the man himself and get it signed, until then it'll always stay in my collection!




UPDATED 23/4/19 * Sorry the last two pictures having been massive on desktop, I've been uploading them on my phone and I've not been altering the size because my laptop died. Fixed now and I should be able to get better pics up*

Got this in the mail this morning, an absolute steal in my opinion. £25 posted and it’s in flawless condition! Really happy to own one again 😊



UPDATED 21/4/19

Got this in the post, fantastic figure! Had one loose when I was a kid, because, I didn’t care if it was Exclusive or not it was getting played with 😭

Glad to finally own one MOC, really does look great!






UPDATED 19/4/19

Viva La Raza!! I just finished watching Wrestlemania 20 and forgot how good a match Eddie & Kurt had. I got this in the mail last week, purchased it from America and it worked out about £250 shipped, really pleased. Forgot how much I love this Figure!



UPDATED 18/4/2019

I just thought I’d update this thread every time I post a new figure I’ve received rather than creating a new thread each time.

Well today I got some really cool figures!

The “Rowdy” Roddy Piper 1/100 I have never owned. I used to have the Boxibg Match 1/100 but I’d never even came close to owning this one. First impression when I opened was literally, Wow! It’s a stunning figure. Not gonna lie, I had to google the match it’s from as I didn’t know anything about it. The figure itself is beautiful, box is absolutely mint which is always a bonus considering how old these are. I paid £300 even for it, and it was worth every penny! Trying to get the 1/100 collection complete is gonna take a monumental effort and a ton of saving but it’ll be worth it!!





This Figure is incredible! I love everything about it, such a cool/unique figure that I don’t think we’ll ever see again. I used to own two but traded both years ago. So for £45 posted I jumped on it!



Hi guys,

Long story short, I'm back into the collecting world. I've decided that I want to collect all of the Jakks Classic Superstars Exclusive Figures (1/3000, 100's etc.) as I feel like that would be an absolutely amazing line to complete. Today I got a pretty sweet figure in the mail, one I've never owned and never seen in person. I got what I think was a great deal on eBay, worked out at around £80 posted. The Superstar Billy Graham figures are very nice, but this one is by far my favourite. I know some might say its a bit basic, but I love the red/orange look & the fact it was technically a giveaway figure only adds to the excitement for me. The seller actually included the original poster from the event which I thought was neat.

Glad to be back in the collecting frame of mind again, had so much fun being back on this forum the last few days after being absent for a good couple of years. Expect to see more figure pickups from me. Take care guys

[k5]

as a big superstar fan, that’s awesome to see. looks to be in excellent condition. I’m jelly

[theicwguy]

Nice pick-up bro. I have the 1/3000 cactus jack and it's such a sick figure. I actually like it more than the Mattel.

[bigjohnnybadd]

I have Cactus Jack and Hogan in the tux... My two favorite 1/3000

[DZ: WF Legacy]

It's cool to see the little paper for the event. Nice buy!

Love it! Which section do you post this in? I'd love to do this!

UPDATED, just gonna keep all my receiving in this thread.

[theicwguy]

Damn! Love that Eddie.

[China Claus]

Cool you're collecting these Exclusives. I don't know what you already have, but either way, sounds like a tall order obtaining them all.

I always hated those exclusive "stamps" above the left knee. It always bothered me personally, as a loose collector.

Either way, best of luck, and I'll look forward to you posting your future investments!

Thanks man, it’s gonna be a long journey trying to get them all (expensive, at that) but I think it’ll be a really fun one! I appreciate the kind words, thanks! I’ll keep this updated when I get new figures so pop in from time to time 😊

[wrestlingfan0815]

I remember my father finding the 1 of 3000 billy graham at toysrus in Canada when it first came out he bought 2 of em and I still have both moc.

[PJ]

The Taz was a great figure in the Jakks line.

[maniac80]

Man, I need to buy more Classic Superstars. Great figures.

Completely agree 100%, its a great figure. My only gripe is the skin tone was off. The proto had it perfect but the final product they made too light skinned.

That Undertaker is a HUGE get. I know multiple people looking for that one. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay and where did you get it from? Congrats!

In pounds, with shipping and customs it clocked in at around £395. I got it from a seller on eBay just by chance. He had a 1/100 Slaughter up and I just happened to click on his page at 4 in the morning and it had just been listed. Bought it straight away. I've been searching for almost 3 years and the only other one that came up, the seller wouldn't ship to the UK. It's massive for me. I didn't start collecting again until that figure came in the post and that's when I decided to try and get them all.

Thank you, I'm a sucker for the stamps and stickers but I get what you're saying as a loose collector. I imagine they kind of take away from them when you're displaying them. I've always been a MOC guy with Jakks figures, and as I said, love me those exclusive stickers lol.

I think you could flip it for even higher. Probably £600 if you were patient for a buyer. Has to be one of the rarest figures ever.
