I've been collecting since 1997 so there are many but as a recent - the network HBK in blue made me flip when I found t in stores because my first fig ever was BCA 3 hbk and I've wanted an update for years

For collecting in general, getting an employee to bring a fresh case of Green card Hasbros out from the back at Hills when I was a kid. Also the night I called a KB Toys and they got a bunch of older European carded Hasbros in for the first time that I had never seen, and they were 3 for $10 so I bought a ton of them. Didn't know that would eventually happen over the next few months at various KB's, so at the time it was an absolute shock. Those were the absolute best.
For Mattels, finding a bunch of E16 Punks in a brand new display setup at a K-Mart after searching everywhere for them.

During a glorious fig-finding summer I had a couple years ago, I took a trip one night to a TRU an hour away on a gut feeling and found all 4 of the Kane BAF figures. Those had been dodging me for quite a while.

Last year randomly typing in "Defining Moments Bret Hart" into an auction site through boredom and finding a MOC listing which had just been put up 7 minutes prior, Buy it Now for £30. DAAAAAANNNNNNG, YOUR THE ONE WHO BOUGHT THAT. No, just kidding. But seriously, nice Haha was skeptical about it when I saw it at that price but I thought I don't have time to think about this, buy now deal with issues later.

When I walked into Kmart two weeks after Ringside got Elite 11 and there was a Punk just sitting there for the taking. That was seriously awesome. I saw the woes so many had finding him and I felt very lucky to have found him with zero effort.

I'd say my proudest moment was back when the t-shirt aj lee that didn't scan was out, and still impossible to find....walked into WalMart, around midnight one night, buried deep on the pegs there was ONE.
Nothing has come close to that good of a score since then lol

It was May 26th 2017 when E52, the set that was rumored to include Ken Shamrock, was made official and Shamrock was pre ordered.

Every time I find the recently released Hall of Fame series because Mattel's distribution sucks donkey balls and my Targets never get HOF series in. I'll probably feel that way if I ever find edge to this day I've only found booker and sting. Left the sting, bought book

Any time I find a female superstar in a store. I collect mostly female superstars, and they're usually never in the stores in my area. So it's always nice when I actually do come across them here and there. When I was living away at school, I wandered into a five below and found a ton of series 66 Paige for $5, and I didn't even know they carried WWE figures there at all.
I also recently went to all of the stores around me for the first time since coming back home, and had no luck up until I checked a Newbury Comics and found a series 67 Naomi with a Slammy Award and nearly shat myself.

Recently I've seen Emma, Naomi, Becky, alexa, Paige, Carmella, and the newest charlotte, and the Bella bps all at retail (and my area has always been bad for divas until now)
