Seems unbelievable a TK Maxx in the UK would have a random Hogan Hasbro in 2012, it's not that type of shop that would have that item.

I remember my local Toys R Us having stock of the tan Bushwhackers long after the final wave was released. Maybe until late '94?
It was a different time, so I just kept waiting for a new series to release, but sadly that hope was dashed when the first Jakks figures showed up.

1996 ish for me. KB got the Yellow Card dump in mid 1995 and then the foreign card dump in 1996. But I do remember Scott Steiner and Samu being in random places for a long time, maybe into 1997 or 1998.

1996 in my local toy shop, eventually I bought all my local toy shop had. Starting with Jake "the Snake" Roberts (this was also the start of my Hasbro collection!) and Demolition Ax. Next I bought the blue ring and I think Brutus Beefcake 1. Next I bought Rick Rude and "Macho Man" Randy Savage 1, then Akeem and Big Boss Man 1.
Later I went back to buy the remaining stock: another blue ring, Akeem, Beefcake and Rude; I sold all those on ebay with profit.

Cool I've read posts on here in the past that the headshrinkers and the bushwackers blue cards sat on the shelves for years in the old retail store woolworths

The last time I remember seeing Hasbros in KB Toys was around 1995-1996. I only remember because as a kid I'd have to choose whether or not I got a wrestler or one of the new Star Wars: Power of the Force figures. The yellow carded figures were very common to find. I remember getting Kamala, Razor, and HBk. IRS, Lex Luger, Doink, Scott Steiner, and Tatanka were also always on the shelf. By 1997 though, I don't remember ever seeing hasbros in any legit toy shops anywhere.

Last lot I saw were from a discount clearout type store on Regent Street, Great Yarmouth (UK), they were all the common purple and dark blue cards. I think they had import stickers on them from Germany. They were £2 each. Loads of Tatanka and Headshrinkers. They had Hacksaw 2, which I never saw at retail, but I regretted passing on him. Summer 1997 if I remember rightly.

Late 1995 in KB and early 1996 in TRU. KB was on the strange side since it wasn't just the last Hasbros sitting on shelves but rather the Yellow cards (I never did see them in any store until KB in 1995) along with the 1992 foreign card guys. TRU just wound up having the dark blue card series (all, including the Razor and Shawn variants) up to early 1996.

Think mine was in an Argos Clearance Warehouse in the UK in around 1998. My mum used to go there all the time for me when I was a kid and buy in bulk for Birthday and Christmas as they were always around £1.99 as end of clearance stock I miss them days!

A red carded Narcisist at Toy Works. I think I paid about 3 bucks for it in the mid 90s

The last I remember were quite a few of the Legion of Doom in my local Toys R Us. When they first appeared there I of course bought a set, ripped them open and had many years of glorious play with them, but some other sets of them remained on the pegs for ages, through the release of the yellow card series that I clearly remember seeing in there (that glorious yellow wall of figures ) and all the other series that they stocked right through to the end. At the time that the Hasbro line ended I was like 9 and there was no internet, so I didn’t know the line had ended until the Jakks figures appeared in the Index catalogue in 1996. But before then, not knowing that the jig was up and that my childhood had basically been ruthlessly ended by those bastards in Connecticut that chose to end the Hasbro line, I continued to go into the local toy stores hoping to see shiny new sets of Hasbros with Diesel, Jeff Jarrett, King of Harts Owen Hart, etc. As the months went by, all I found in Toys R Us were the same sets of the LOD every time. The last I saw those figures they were in the bargain bins going for quite a bit less than the £50+ they are going for on eBay now. I would see the odd figure in stores away from home every now and then until that final Macho Man 4 I wrote about in another thread, but I think the last I saw here were the LOD right until the end of the line. Oh, by the way - I started collecting MOC Hasbros about a year or so after seeing those figures in the bargain bins. I still don’t own the Legion of Doom MOC
