I used to be a Jakks Classic Superstars collector. Even worse I was a completionist, so I had pretty much every CS fig put out (all MOC and variants too). I had a damn good collection, then Mattel took over. Let's just say I wasn't too impressed with their early lines. So I just stopped collecting. After a while my collection went from being put up for all to see, to just put away in boxes. This also had to do with the fact I had moved, and really didn't have the wall space, then again my old place didn't either lol. Ultimately I sold the figures to other collectors, and just moved on. So for years I hadn't even had an interest in any figs.......until I saw HOF Warrior. When I saw that figure I was really trying to talk myself out of buying it, and my roommate just said "Oh just buy the damn thing. You'll be kicking yourself later if you don't!" So basically waking this collecting monster is her fault haha!!
Anyways here is what I have so far.....
Welcome Back! I know you're new here...but don't quote pics! JK..I LOVE YOU and can't wait to see what you bring to the table.

An all too familiar story. I had about 400 loose displayed Jakks figures when WWE made the jump. I was equally unimpressed with the early mattel line, especially the legends line. I felt like in an effort to release figures that Jakks didnt make, they released guys that no one wanted (at least in the first few lines). I sold my Jakks guys and went into wrestling figure exile. It was the elite Legion of Doom and Vader figures that brought me back (elite 30/31) about 2 years ago. Now i have about 200 MIB elites occupying the first floor of my house and a wife that thinks im insane for "collecting dolls at 37 years old." I tell her she's lucky i dont do drugs. It's good to be back.

Good score man, I like that AA battle pack. I recently found both HOF 2 packs as well and really love that new Warrior!

I'm surprised you didn't pick up a Nakamura or WM Elites.

I'm surprised you didn't pick up a Nakamura or WM Elites. Went to the one in National City. Must of missed them, but I did see the Shawn Michaels WM Elite but I had already orderd it off the TRU website the day before lol. Haven't had time to go to the one on Indutrial Blvd. yet. Hopefully they will have some on Friday or Saturday!

The Nakamura's at National city were kinda tucked in the corner of all the Defining Moments. And it's problaby not there anymore, but at Industrial I hid one Nakamura behind the left side of the rings in the middle shelf.

So many good finds recently. I really am glad those Network Spotlights are flying out so fast and have all been easy to find so far. They have been some of the best figures of last year and this one.

If I don't find it hopefully it'll be at some of the other TRUs in our area. Thank god we have more than a few to go to! lol

I was surprised to see the whole set at Walmart, especially the ones with Slammy's.
