Hi everyone I'm new to the forums and just wanted to say a quick hello and show my collection. I grew up on wrestling in the late 80's and early 90's and still love watching all the old events now on wwe network. I will admit that I don't really have any interest in wrestling these days tho (sorry). Anyway I started my collection just over a year ago when on holiday in the states and I had some spare spending money left. We went to toys r us and I bought 4 or 5 figures and I've just went from there buying as many as I can as often as I can. It's a real pain staying in Scotland as I rely on eBay for 99% of my figures and most of the ones I'm after are just not available in the UK. Bought Bret Hart king of the ring from Ringside recently and was hit with a tax charge and handling fee from our royal mail (won't be doing that again). Anyone else on here from the UK have any way of getting around this? Here's my collection so far any way I've got just over 70 figs and all are brand new in box except the Bret Hart defining moments which I know has been out the box. I hope I've managed to put the pics up correctly.       |

Really nice collection.
Super jealous you got that DM Hart!! I'm in the UK too, London, and rely on eBay for most of my figures as well.
I always get hit with extra high charges from Royal Mail etc when I order from Ringside too.
Have you got no friends or family in the US who can buy figures for you? That's what I try and do occasionally.

Welcome. Great stuff!
The dm hitman is one of the best figures to go back for. Good to see you’ve got it.
....now get Honky tonk man.

I've got my eye on a few but sellers based in the states. Do you know if the extra cost we pay for import on eBay would safe guard against any further chargers and then in turn the royal mail handling fee? Btw Sting was always one my favourites but preferred the surfer version. Think Mattel could have done a better job with his figs. Was a little disappointed with what's available for him. |

Collection is Gold.
Even though I don’t collect from the older years I still love the way their attires/figs look.
I really don’t know how MOC collectors can resist opening the figs. Lol

Not sure about eBay. I don't recall paying extra for import charges etc when I ordered stuff from a US seller on eBay and had it shipped to the UK. Same thing with Amazon I think. Maybe someone else here can answer that with more certainty? Yeah Sting deserves much better surfer versions, everyone here keeps asking for a good elite surfer sting. |
