Mattel
KOR 2001 Shane O Mac RSC Exclusive UE Cena UE Charlotte My Custom RSC Red DX Shawn Michaels
Jakks
KOR 2001 LE Kurt Angle (to match the Shane)
Those are the wrestling ones for me. Everything else has been fun, but pretty standard.
Outside of wrestling, I'd say the overall winner of this was the Romana II from a recent Doctor Who set. I about lost my dang mind when I found out they released the exact Romana that I'd always wanted. The Doctor Who Ace McShane and Peri Brown original release figures were huge deals to me as well. LE Silver Suited Playmates Seven of Nine from ST:Voy was really big too. In general, despite my main collecting being about wrestling, I get far more excited for non-wrestling figures.

In store was probably when I found the Elite Pete Dunne figure at Target when I unboxed it myself. Another time I found Kassius Ohno and that was pretty exciting. Finding a random stone cold from the elite flashback red packaging one at Walmart was cool tool. Also finding a lot of the elite hall of champion figures in the blue packages at Target like Kane, Paul Bearer, Road Dogg, Undertaker. It's always the thrill of the hunt!

When I was able to find a Jacqueline and Dr. Death at KB back in the day! Mattel wise Iโd say legends 1 back when you could Walk into a TRU or Target and they would have the entire series with maybe 1 youโd have to go to a second store to find.

Oh, I just remembered.
I was so stoked to find Gorilla at Walmart. He was my first retail exclusive find and I was quite bouncy to finally find one.

I love that I'm not the only one who says E64 Dunne. Hands down. As a kid, Playmates TMNT Mondo Gecko.

When I first started and saw the "new" all pink Elite Bret Hart. I was mesmerized by the attire

Finding Adam Cole & Chase Nikki Bella Elites is up there for sure, and buying an Adam Cole Elite on eBay after selling up and realising I really missed that figure is probably number 1. Itโs the only Mattel I plan on keeping in my collection, I just love that figure.

I don't know if there will ever be a higher point for me with Mattel than when the summer of Punk had happened earlier that year and then about November or so I walked into Kmart and just found Elite 11 Punk sitting on the shelf only a week or so after they shipped from Ringside. The pride I got from that figure is immeasurable.
Recently the Fiend gave me those same good feelings.

Another thread reminded me of when I found Ringmaster Austin, Reigns, and Balor from TRU's Network Spotlight series at my Ollie's.
Had some good finds during the last year of my Kmart's existence. Weren't getting a whole lot often but I usually had run of the mill when they did. Got the debut demon Balor, Asuka, Styles, and Becky Lynch all from there. Plus dem rewards points *sheds year in grief*
