Just a discussion idea.
What figure, not necessarily favorite or most valuable, that you had to hunt for? Could even be something common.
For me it's Elite 20 Chris Jericho. It took a long time to get one living in Canada, retail wasn't an option and it took me a few years to track one down at a reasonable price.
Which figure did you painstakingly hunt for and make a top priority? Which is the most sentimental,, I guess. What's your crown jewel or hidden gem?

E16 Nash. Was never in my area. Saw Diesel multiple times but never Nash. Fortunately I had a friend living in different city who found him. He had trouble finding Diesel so I picked him up Big Daddy Cool and he grabbed Big Sexy for me.

E52 Shamrock.
(Only cause it was a figure I really went hunting for. Most my figs were ordered online.)
Last October E52 hit my area & then at the same time stores got a random assortment shipment of old elites. Since that happened they never restocked E52. Then just last month (or late May) I picked up Shamrock from TRU.
Edit: E55 Taker. When E55 1st hit my area, Taker was gone quick. Fast forward to now, & E55 Takers shipped with the SS elites & basics at Walmart.

Not sure which was the hardest, but tracking down dm’s of Bret, hhh, macho and warrior wasn’t easy. Payed way over for them all anyway, but wasn’t paying what they were on eBay for when I started looking.

Hogan mailaway Hasbro. Was the ultimate grail for me as a kid and finally got it as an adult a decade or so ago. For Mattels it's harder for me to have a grail or crown jewel because I haven't had a hard time getting them thanks to Ringside and living near a TRU (RIP). I'll always have a soft spot for E16 Punk given his significance that summer and the early Defining Moments (Macho, HBK, and later Bret and Hogan) just because they are the ultimate figures for the very best of WWE.

When I was a kid back during the Jakks days I always wanted a JBL. Looked everytime I went shopping with my mom and could never find it. I finally got it when my mom bought it for me as a birthday present. I sold most of my Jakks collection off even before Mattel took over, but that red trunk JBL was one of the few figures I did keep.

We did this before not too long ago. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/353093/holy-grail-collectionSince my reply hasn’t changed, I’ll just quote myself. The centerpiece of my collection is the Mattel Toys R Us exclusive Mr. McMahon. Without Vincent Kennedy McMahon…no, I don’t even want to think about what the World would be like without V. K. M. I would probably have a lot of money in my pocket if it weren’t for him, but then I wouldn’t have the “greatest collection” of “gold” and “leather”. The holy grail of my collection is the Mattel Defining Moments Undisputed WWE WCW World Champion, Chris Jericho. My favorite Professional Sports Wrestling Entertainer of all time, I seriously thought this figure was never going to be made. I was satisfied enough with having his Jakks WrestleMania X8 figure. I’m glad I have a representation of Y2J's greatest achievement. The crown jewel of my collection is my Ultra Deluxe Undisputed WWE World Championship Title Belt. This represents Vince McMahon’s greatest achievement, completely ruling over the World of Professional Sports Wrestling Entertainment. It is my favorite design of all time. If I had to give up my entire collection, this would be the only piece I could never part with. At one time in my life, I wanted to be buried with it. After my Prince was born, my Queen convinced me otherwise, with the idea that he may want it for himself. When he was old enough to talk, he confirmed her suggestion. You can view my 3 special items, along with the rest of my collection, in the link below. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/280200/patrick-stars-championship-title-belts |
