Yeah then stopped and took a break around elite 16. Then got only legends/flashbacks. Now I’m pretty much done

I started with Elite 28. At the time I thought that Big Show figure was amazing and I still love that figure. Before that I was only collecting Hasbro's & BCA's, both of which have taken a backseat since I got int Mattels

I've been collecting from the start and was also collecting jakks figs before. Recently I've slowed down as although the figures are great the prices and distribution has just killed the fun of it for me.

I got into actually collecting Jakks Classics pretty late so I figured I would never collect Mattel and just finish off my hunt for classics. DM Bret Hart and E19 HBK changed my mind. Got rid of my whole Jakks collection and the rest was history. This had to be late 2012 - early 2013 if I remember correctly. I stopped in 2017 because I had other expenses that needed to be prioritized. I just picked it back up again now and I'm on the hunt for the flashbacks I missed out on.

I started right away collecting Mattel. I still collected Jakks TNA for a bit so I could use them against my wwe RA as well as getting Classic superstars. I stopped collecting around 2011 and I think e6 Punk was my last figure I had bought. At the time I only wanted one figure of each person or else I would’ve had so many more figures back then, funny how things have completely 180’d. I came back into collecting in 2015 when I got back into WWE since Wrestlemania was in my hometown that year. I opened up my figure box and remembered how awesome Mattel figures were. I contemplated buying the HOF Eddie since I had seen it at target but preferred the Legends. My first figure back was HOF Austin since I hadn’t gotten an Austin yet. The next day I took a trip to TRU for the first time in years and bought WM30 Daniel Bryan. Now here I am 3 years later with more than 150 figures

After Jakks ended I stopped collecting. I picked up E19 HBK but didn’t fully dive back in until E26. Have bought every Elite since.

I came in when the legends line was going out. late 2011.. I remember going to Walmart and seeing Legends 4 Warrior. I was like wow that's an awesome figure , and the rest is history. I also remember walking into a kMart in 2012 and seeing the first "flashback" E12 Shango I never did find Kane though. Man those were tough times then... anybody who bitches about distribution now, has no idea what it was like early on... I do have an idea, it’s no better now than it was then

I hopped aboard late 2014 around the time the Hogan and Razor DMs were announced or coming out. In fact Hogan I believe was my first Elite purchase followed by the WM Heritage Undertaker.

I do have an idea, it’s no better now than it was then its been a lot better. is there a dead zone because of dead lines ending, well yea I agree with u there. but overall its been consistent though. especially for newer talent.

Started at the beginning, then took a break around the summer of 2011, picked back up beginning of 2012 through 2018 when I took a few month break. Now I'm back in full force. For the most part, I've managed to get everything that I missed that I wanted.

Nope, but I wish I had started at least closer to the beginning. I started in 2013 or 2014. E22 Rock was my first buy. Macho King was my first RSC Exclusive.

I worked at TRU at the time and we got them a week early before the Jan 1st street date. Needless to say, I got the Series 1 box set and a few days later I got CM Punk, Undertaker and MVP from Target across the street. My manager was also cool to have put a series 1 Batista in the back for me with the Chase belt and I still have it MOC to this day.
