Hello, I am new to wrestlingfigs and new to collecting as well.
I don't have any figures at all, and I want to start collecting.
I just don't know where to begin looking, so I came to you guys cause I figured you guys would know where to look.

Honestly, I have found most/all of my figures at either Walmart or Kmart so I would definitely check them more often. Toys R Us is good, but if you want up-to-date figures, TRU usually gets them in later then other stores. Mine is about 2 series behind in each figure series.

RSC - they always get it first.
but really, the 4 big retaillers are all hit-or-miss. (Kmart, Target, Walmart and ToysRUs all can be great but are mostly terrible.)

well where do you live? it all depends on your area. I do not usually buy through RSC only because I normally never have a problem finding anything near me but RSC is great and I am going to pre order alot from them while I am in school. I usually go to Wal-Mart or Target but K-Mart has been great latley and TRU sometimes has its moments.
Since you do not have any figures yet, I would hit up your local stores (walmart, k-mart, toys r us or target) and see if they have anything you like first before looking online.

Target and K-mart are my best friends when it comes to figure finding

Since you live in Ohio, I'll also recommend going to Meijer. They're sometimes hit or miss, but the local Meijer had series 3 about 3 weeks before I saw it anywhere else

I have had the most luck with wal-mart and tru. The target by me never stocks anything new and k mart is the same way.
