So yea. Me and my fiancé finally moved, 250 miles away from where we grew up, to Monroe, La. for college. Were pretty excited. Our apartment is awesome. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, big living room, etc.... Anyways I made a post a while back about not finding my damn Kane. Well.. One day before we moved, my dad went check a target for me... And found this.  I'm so stoked. I also have Papa Shango still MOC. It was awesome of my dad to go out of his way like that. So to give this post a conversation piece... What figure so far has taken you HELL to find? |

Congrats bro it's a really cool fig especially the detail on the mask.
The hardest figure I've had to find is actually a tie between E10 Show & E11 Punk but I'm sure they will turn up eventually.

Kane and Papa Shango are great figures. Congrats! Well, I guess Vickie as I have still not found her. But, for figures that I wanted and found: CM Punk 11. It took FOREVER to find him. Finally did.

Actually both that Kane and Shango was hard to find and I finally did. Also Legends series 5 Akeem. I finally found one last week.

I found E11 punk within a week of them hitting retail. Then I found another two months later. So I had it easy with him... Kane has been the absolute worst for me all because of how bad I wanted it I guess.

The hardest figure for me to find was Elite 11 Punk. I spent months finding remnants of Elite 11 at multiple Walmarts around SoCal. It wasn't until Christmas Eve that I got lucky and found an unopened case at Walmart. 'Twas a Christmas Miracle!

E4 Kane and JoMo in red were tough but finally found them. I've only seen Basic Ryder once when I picked him up. Luckily got both Basic Natayla and E10 Dibiase in Green through Amazon because I have yet to ever see either of those in stores.

When I used to collect I went to like 5 stores to find classic superstars 2 mankind. I remember the 4th store I went to they actually found the mankind but they wouldn't sell me it because the belt had been stolen.

There was not a figure that I had to go really far to find. If I had to pick, it would be Allentown because it is an hour away from where I live.

It really is a neat figure. I like how Kane came back with a mask right around when it hit the shelves, most likely driving the sought-afterness factor of everyone. I bought the only copy of it I ever saw.
I had to resort to the internet for elite Punk. I always was late... cases ravaged each and every time. But whatever. Trade the disappointment of the hunt, gas money, and time for inflated secondary market prices and shipping. I did find Basic Ryder, somehow, two nights after he won the US title after I had given up all hope. I was so surprised/happy that there was actually one left. Collecting has its highs and lows. Congrats on your high!

Nexus 2-packs, Green Ted Dibiase, and Vickie have been the hardest for me to find.
