Hello everyone, my first post here.  Just over a year ago I was looking up some figures from childhood. I randomly stumbled across a thread (not sure which forum) where someone claimed to have found a store (in Belgium iirc) which had a big selection of MOC Hasbro WWF figures in 2014. They posted numerous photos as evidence and iirc were even taking requests from people looking to buy some of them. Anyway, recently I searched for it on google and couldn't find the thread again. It would make sense for it to have been posted here, but I guess it could have been on another (now defunct?) forum. But even then, I'm sure some posters here would have been aware of this discovery. I'm just wondering what happened? Does this thread still exist here or somewhere else and I have missed it on my searches? Is the board it was posted on now defunct? Was the discovery of these figures proven to not be legitimate or was the poster inundated with requests for figures? I'm really intrigued by this and hope I haven't wandered into an awkward topic. Thanks in advance! |

Can't remember such a topic. Definitely not in Belgium, I would've known: I live in Belgium!  |

Holy cow - I DO remember that thread. Can't remember any details other than he mentioned them having numerous Mr. Perfects (I believe that's correct), but it was UK or Europe somewhere. That narrows it down, I know |

I have all the pics saved on my computer. I bought a few Bam Bam Bigelow Hasbro cases from the guy who posted. It was in Austria.

Wow! This is awesome. Would have loved to pick up a few cases!
EDIT: Thinking about it now, I got a few carded Hasbro's from a guy in Austria a couple of years back as he was saying they were 'case fresh'. They were mainly Series 10 figures, though. I don't know if this is connected, maybe he had a few left over. The cards looked great in the photos but some were a little damaged by the time they arrived.

I bought a MOC Jannetty 2. Yeah, this sounds like the same seller to me, as well. I bought a Jannetty 2 from him, also. He had loads of Series 10 MOCs, particularly the Bushwackers, Headshrinkers, Giant Gonzalez and Jannetty. |

I remember this thread as well. Lots of people (myself included) were very skeptical, but the OP went back & posted pics with a card that read "wrestlingfigs" in the photos.
Time to search the database!

What is a good image uploading website where I can put together an entire photo album? I can upload all the images I saved, which would be all the ones he posted and then some of his finds at this said warehouse in Austria.

Hello everyone, my first post here. Just over a year ago I was looking up some figures from childhood. I randomly stumbled across a thread (not sure which forum) where someone claimed to have found a store (in Belgium iirc) which had a big selection of MOC Hasbro WWF figures in 2014. They posted numerous photos as evidence and iirc were even taking requests from people looking to buy some of them. Anyway, recently I searched for it on google and couldn't find the thread again. It would make sense for it to have been posted here, but I guess it could have been on another (now defunct?) forum. But even then, I'm sure some posters here would have been aware of this discovery. I'm just wondering what happened? Does this thread still exist here or somewhere else and I have missed it on my searches? Is the board it was posted on now defunct? Was the discovery of these figures proven to not be legitimate or was the poster inundated with requests for figures? I'm really intrigued by this and hope I haven't wandered into an awkward topic. Thanks in advance!
Found it in the figure findings board.

Would love to see all the pictures from the original thread. I can only see a couple through the thread link. Sounds like an awesome find!

Yeah this shop is in Austria (Vienna) but he has only figures from series 10. Bushwakers, Headshrinkers and Marty jannety. This Shop is a warehouse. Each figure costs 9,99€.

Damn! You remember a thread from 2014? I barley remember what I had for lunch yesterday! Pretty crazy find though all these years later.

The amount of dreams I've had over the years about somehow stumbling across some store with a load of old Hasbros  Usually something like the second series with loads of perfect Dustys, or boxes still unpacked of the green card series or something that fits with how rare they are (the answer clearly being that this magical store had taken massive deliveries of them but clearly never bothered to sell them until I walked into the place 20 years after the line ended, that sort of thing  ). The dream usually ends with me finding like a MOC Hart Foundation tag set or something that I know didn't exist, and then I realise it's just a dream  Very cool to know that it actually came true for someone though  |
