Seeing the post about WWF Hasbros in Poundland was a lot of fun, while I did not see any of these and to be honest I do not even remember if there was a Poundland where I lived as a kid. It made me remember how I scored a ton of LJN Bendies in the early 90's.
In Scotland where I grew up, there was a large department store called What Everyone Wants in a town called Kirkcaldy. In 1991, they for some reason they started stocking a ton of LJN bendies figures. They had the whole collection and if I remember right they were like 99p each. I was going to stay with my grandparents for a long weekend as my parents were going away and I was allowed to pick up a ton of LJN bendies, I remember getting the ring and a ton of figures, I especially loved Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat. In looking back, I do not actually think there was a figure I did not get. The ring was pretty cool as it worked well with my Hasbros that I had at the time, but I decided to leave it and the figures at my grandparent's house so I had something cool there when I would go and visit.
I got into wrestling in 1989 so I missed the LJN craze and I do not even know how readily available they were in Scotland at the time. I had a few older WWF Silver Vision tapes at the time, including WrestleMania III which a buddy of mine gave me as he did not like it, so having all these figures, most of which appeared on that tape was awesome. I played with them so much the bodies started to crack!
Did any of you guys have a What Everyone Wants department store around you and remember getting WWF LJN Bendies?
