Hi WFigs,
I've kept an eye on these boards for over 4 years now and have decided to join up.
I was a massive fan of WWE from 1990 up until 2004 when I started to drift away from the product.
I got back into WWE in 2013 and after seeing the quality of Mattel's Flashback/Legend action figures, got a big nostalgia kick and decided to start collecting.
These boards have been a great source of information for me over the years and I now hope to make a contribution of my own!

Welcome! I lurked as a non-member for several years before signing up and becoming active. It's been a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy yourself.

Welcome! I do love the Flashback/ Legend figures, too. Hasbro's and the new Retros are my favourites though.

Thanks Taylor! I grew up with Hasbro's, so many good times were had with them back in the 90's. The new Retro's look decent but collecting Elite's costs enough already!

It's definitely a balancing act of what to collect and what not to. I'd love to have all of the Legends line but I'm happy to focus on the Retros for now. Enjoy the boards!

Hi, I was a lurker for ages on here too. I've been a huge wrestling fan since '91 and used to have loads of Hasbro's, but as you said, collecting elites is expensive enough! I live in Edinburgh and usually get my retail figures from TRU & Smyths in Edinburgh, TRU Livingston & Smyths Falkirk, but anywhere within 50 miles is usually game!

Hi Jim/Ben,
I'm Glasgow based so usually do most of my hunting in Smyths Glasgow Fort/Falkirk and TRU Parkhead/Govan although recently I've been doing a lot catching up with older Elites so I've been doing some bidding online.

Welcome OP! Hi 👋🏼 Nice to meet you! I'm actually English, but have lived here for 9 years now. Love the place though, it's fantastic! Don't actually know many wrestling fans here though.

And hunting season is about to start up again as Elite 53 is due in shortly, followed by Elite 52! I want the vast majority from those two sets, plus the upcoming Mojo Rawley and Corey Graves basics as they don't have elites yet. I only started collecting Mattel about 2 years ago, so I've also been trying to catch up with help from Ebay. Plus I buy American exclusive figures from some American based users on here and the odd Ringside Exclusive figure from RSC. My fiancée hates it, she gets pretty pissed off when they arrive as she knows I'm spending a lot of money on them!! It's worth it though!!! 😂

I won't need anyone from Elite 53 but from Elite 52 I plan on getting Ken Shamrock and D-Lo Brown. Then there's the Defining Moments Chris Jericho which I've been looking forward to for a long time.

I'm lucky mine leaves me to it - she has no idea how much I'm spending on figures!!! Mind you, I don't check either, I daren't!!
