In Canada, I know I never saw the green cards, or the yellow, red or purple cards either now that I think back.
The last Hasbro figures I ever got from a store were Jim Neidhart, The Mountie, Sid Justice and Virgil. Which was Series 5 it seems. So I never saw anything after that in stores for Hasbros. Not saying that the lines didn't come here, but I know I never saw any of them at least in any stores around me.

I definitely know green cards were short shipped but not sure about west coast,. I feel like NE/Boston area got the most

I can remember looking for the Green Card series figures as a kid in the usual spots I typically had luck with Hasbro's at in New Hampshire. But constantly struck out. To this day, I still don't own a figure from the Green Card series :/

I found these at Hills near Syracuse. I was completely surprised by this. There had to be at least 20 pegs absolutely full of them and not one 1-2-3 Kid. Told my best friend and we went back the next afternoon with his parents to get him the series. All they had left was two Borga figures. I couldn't believe it. I sent my dad to another Hills store after work the next day and he came home with the complete set minus Kid. I ended up getting my Kid as a mail away, saved up $69 from my paper route.
Looking back I should of never got this set, I was being a brat and didn't want to go shopping that night. And I always tell myself if I was allowed to go back in history just one time, it would be this night and seriously beg my mom to put them all on layaway for me.

Anyone know why the Yellow cards seem to not be found until mid 1995 at KB?
I got every series on time and never saw any of the yellow cards until July or so in 1995 with the 3 for $10 sale. No Nailz, though.

I'm the uk the last series I saw up north was series 10.. I was buzzin to get steiners and head shrinkers.. I never got duplicates ie budhwackers and janetty
Never saw a razor or giant Gonzales out of the set
Although my dad got my giant Gonzales from abroad same as he did with the smoking gunns and that's all I had of the greens.
I now have the full set mint on card stashed away.
Also have a factory error Bart GUnn with an elbow pad instead of a wrist band

Never understood why certain figures were so hard to find. Did Hasbro pack certain waves certain ways to make certain figures hard to find? Like Nasty Boys and even LOD. Only ever spotted each of them one time, yet they felt it necessary to put Rockers and Bushwackers repacked into those cases. Doesn't make any sense. Also why did there seem to be tons of Scott Steiners warming shelves in my area? Was there more of him in each box than Rick? It's the only thing I can think of. Because I'm sure if you were buying Rick you were buying Scott too. I'm just curious, is there a list anywhere of how each case pack from each wave was pieced out? Like how many of each figure were in boxes. I think the reason why certain Hasbro figures were rare is, if a wrestler had just recently left WWF, then Hasbro discontinued that particular line of figure. for example Dusty Rhodes suddenly left WWF in January 1991, straight after the royal rumble, and Hasbro stopped his figure, this probably also explains why the Smash and Crush twin pack is rare, WWF broke Demolition up suddenly. |
