When did everyone order? I ordered July 16. (Cody, Omega, Jericho). Not shipped yet. I ordered one of each (Cody/Kenny/Jericho) that same day. My card was charged $63.19 yesterday. FedEx tracking info says it's now in my state and should arrive by the end of the day tomorrow.

If I’m not mistaken, didn’t they release a double sleeve regular Kane before the single sleeve regular figure? Yep. Fully Loaded Series 1 Kane and 2 Tuff Series 3 Kane (2-Pack with Mankind) were first spotted in stores in mid-to-late January 1999. Superstars Series 8 "Team Corporate" Kane, which was the first regular BCA one-sleeved Kane, started showing up in stores by late May '99.

Mine are expected to arrive this Wednesday. I'm shocked, to say the least.

I'm pretty sure the first kane figure was slammers series 2 from jakks. Could be wrong. That's right. Slammers Series 2 Kane was released about a month before Ripped & Ruthless Series 2 in the summer of 1998.

ChicagoHmm...I might have to see what I can do about Mideon. That's a figure I've always wanted, and it shouldn't be that hard to make happen (Taker head + Road Dogg body + decals). Road Dogg body for sure. I may repaint an Al Snow BCA head for my Mideon. I got the decals and I finished his shirt. The tattoos are gonna be tough though.Dustin Young a.k.a. therealworldchampion has a great YouTube channel. I'm so glad that he frequents the boards because his videos are some of the most informative that I've come across. For sure!I love that Crush! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about the sleeves. I think I might actually like Skull better with the flat black color jeans. I'm a believer in teams wearing matching attire as much as possible. You and me both. It's odd the only DOA Crush we got was in the Bend-ems line. I guess he just missed the cut for BCA.I agree that Benoit with repainted teeth and added stubble is an improvement. Somehow, it brings out more in his eyes. Very expressive. Thanks! I was real happy with how it turned out.Double J is perfectly executed. Owen's legs are definitely better for him, and with all of those part upgrades, it just makes me despise the Jakks version even more lol. Lazy Jakks. I'm definitely purchasing either the blue or green Jarrett decals because I have enough parts to make another.I have finally finished BCA Jericho. I originally wanted to use the Unforgiven 1999 decals but I couldnt get them to work right so I went with No Way Out 2000. Great choice! I like that R3 Jericho head the more I see it. I'm turning the corner on Pillman's torso, too. It must be those decals that sell me on the complete look. I always thought Signature Series 4 Edge could pass for a BCA Jericho, but those HHH parts would never look right for him (or Edge, for that matter). Backlash Series 4 Edge with Patriot parts is a good smaller mold for someone not looking to crack torsos, but there's still no substitute for DOA arms and Shamrock legs. Those are perfect for Jericho.

I used to have that X-Pac, he was my fig fed's IC Champ alot when I was a kid. For a 2000's kid I had a lot of Bone Crunchers and TTL's. Someday when I can afford to I want to start collecting for display. I would totally have a shelf for BCA's and another one for TTL's. I love this xpac, I believe he teamed with Kane wearing that attire. I want the green xpac as well but for now this will do, since I dont want to do DX currently. I am done for now and until my AEW Series 1 and 2 arrive, and Kane mattel as well. I took the Mattels from the shelf and put them on top so the BC have their own shelf. I think it looks better. What do you guys think? Looks good. I like the spacing. If you ever want to add to it, you've got plenty of space there. That X-Pac is more '98 return than '99 teaming with Kane, but really, any look could apply. It's not like X-Pac's look ever changed drastically.

It's now November 1st. Happy one year preorder anniversary to everyone else who threw their money down on these last year. Boss Fight, too. Feels like five years ago. May the figure gods have mercy on us all in 2021.

Thanks for the info man but wonder why it’s on pre-order 2 and it hasn’t been listed yet? If I had to guess a reason for it, I'd say Ringside is probably still working out the kinks for that page. I don't think it said anything about Pre-Order 2 earlier when I shared the link.

I wanted blackheart? Owen to be my first but got outbid on Ebay alongside of a Bret. From there, I just thought of Mankind, Undertaker, I want a monster lineup. Also got Xpac, and the Rock and Owen 2 Pack since I struck out on the other Owen. I am staying away from most of the figures I had as a kid. [Mostly consisted of every Stone Cold I saw, D-X [Michaels and Triple H, New Age Outlaws etc, and the Nation] I like that I'm starting with AEW from the beginning I dont feel like I am missing out on anything, and yeah it feels good to have the hardest to acquire out the bunch already secured. But theres something about the nostalgia of the bone crunchers that just cant match up to the thought of nostalgia by acquiring the new AEW line [which also is amazing]. My monster line up is going to be mixed companies so heres the list I have and what I need. If you have any ideas on a person I may have forgot thats Bone crunching on lmk. I have so far... Mankind [Signature Series] Undertaker[ Signature Series] The Fiend [Elite] I will buy next month... Undertaker as Kane RSC Exclusive. [Will display as a Kane though] I loved the first Kane him the original Mankind and Undertaker ministry era scared me a bit lol. The fiend is just badass. Any other monster never really thrilled me, unless you consider Raven a monster but I dont see a good figure for him. For BCAs, 2 Tuff 5 Viscera and Undertaker is highly recommended. Maybe Road Rage Gangrel with blood around his mouth and splattered on his shirt? 2 Tuff 2 Kurrgan had some monster in him, too. Ripped & Ruthless 2 Kane was a fun figure for its time. Jakks' WWF Maximum Sweat line and Toy Biz's WCW Gross-Out Wrestlers would look good in a collection of monstrous figures. Mattel's WWE Monsters and Zombies assortments also look great on display.

Well it’s about that time where I go through this thread (and eBay)and take a trip down memory lane haha. Would like to pose a question; Is there anything in particular you’d consider a glaring omission from the line? One I have is probably something only I’d say but since I’m such a weirdo here’s mine. Besides Series 4, there was no ring gear Austin in the main Superstars line. I bought Series 4 on eBay earlier this year and kept in MOC. So much nostalgia towards that figure, since it was the first Austin. But it’s honestly not a great figure haha. He was/is my favorite so I honestly probably had every Austin they made. But the lack of a true and accurate ring gear version in the main line feels wrong. I can’t remember every one I had but the one in 2 tuff with the Rock and the Signature Series one seem like the most accurate, as far as boots and knee brace go. And that’s just my little rant about Steve Austin in the BCA line. Now I’m probably gonna go buy the Signature Series 1 on eBay and display it loose That's a good one. I'd also say that The Rock not having a true Survivor Series '98 figure in the BCA line was criminal (Sunday Night Heat Series was close, but not accurate enough). Undertaker with his Ministry gear is another glaring omission. Bret in all black. Shawn in black tights. So many to list, but those are the ones that bother me most. BoneCrunchingCustomsHmm...I might have to see what I can do about Mideon. That's a figure I've always wanted, and it shouldn't be that hard to make happen (Taker head + Road Dogg body + decals).

What’s the DPCI number for the survivor series elites at Target? @collectiblesrob on Instagram bought the set recently and he said he thinks it's the same as the Royal Rumble Elites and Elite 77. If that's true, then that would mean it's 087-16-2773.

Those are two great BCA figures to start with. I love seeing your eagerness to dip in to both old and new figure lines. Must feel kinda neat knowing that no one else in the world has your current setup. I can't wait to see it grow. Best of luck limiting it to just a few!

Are you happy with the Mia head/face/neck? I know people were complaining before they were in hand, but it all looks good in your pics. I haven't opened it yet, but just from looking at pics and then seeing it up close, I don't think I'll mind it at all. I'd probably be upset if it were an Elite figure, but for a Basic nowadays, I can live with it. The face looks fine to me, and the head isn't as big as I thought it would be. The scale with some of these Basics lately bothers me, like Bianca Belair for instance, but I don't plan on fixing up any of them so there's really no point in me going on about it lol.

Amazon has Basic 112 and 113 in stock for $9.99 each.
First time I've seen Rollins (search for Jordan Miles), Edge, McIntyre, and Murphy for those prices.
Cole is back-ordered but due in stock 11/11. No idea about Lashley.

The Bobby Fish from Amazon that was mentioned in the online findings a few days ago arrived today and is the chase version. I got the regular camo version today (ordered on Sunday). Eyes are a little wonky, but I'm used to that happening with True FX. Also got B113 Mia Yim. Some recent Amazon pickups:

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope some good luck comes your way. Which BCAs are you thinking of getting? I appreciate it, man. The place I worked at took a huge hit because of COVID and I was let go because I was still in the new hire phase. In terms of the BCAs I was looking at getting, really I had kind of an erratic hit list. I need to get new Series 1 Diesel and Razor (or maybe just finally get that 2-pack...) and I wanted to get Break Down Mankind again because I lost the mask from my old one and that one had a blood bath match and I couldn't get the blood gimmick I used to wash off. And then there's just ones like pre-boxer Marc Merco that I never had as a kid and the WM XIV Shawn Michaels and the Paul Bearer that came with Mankind, and then I also wanna get MIB versions of the Rumble and Survivor Series mini rings. I could list so many figures that are on my "I had this when I was 8 and no longer have it because it either got traded away, stolen or broken" list. Watching a lot of that 96-98 era of wrestling in the last few weeks has made me really nostalgic for these figures. Just looking at pictures of them takes me back to a way simpler time in life and it also reminds me of when I really loved wrestling. No problem. I like that your list covers so much ground. Other than maybe having to pay more nowadays to get a good Razor/Diesel 2-Pack or the Mini Rings sets, I don't think you should have much trouble finding those figures. When I went back and watched through those '96-'98 shows again within the past 5 or so years, it was nostalgia overload. Mostly for the Austin/McMahon segments, but there's a lot to reminisce about. My favorite thing to do was take notes on all the different gear worn. I would also think a lot about how this gimmick or that gimmick would've made for a great BCA figure, and I'd try to imagine what the folks at Jakks might have considered for parts and whatnot. The last time I watched any classic shows was back in July. I caught up to late August '99 RAW, but honestly, it became a lot less fun to watch after Owen's death. I appreciate it, man.

Just looking at pictures of them takes me back to a way simpler time in life and it also reminds me of when I really loved wrestling. I think it was you I was chatting with elsewhere about this the other day, but that would be the final nail in the coffin for my collection of figures that, growing up in the AFR days, I basically had to assume existed because I never set my teenaged eyes on them. I've done well to amass almost the full list of figures I'd only seen online, but I've kinda written off the two pack as a pipe dream. That being said - I'll never not love this story. Growing up, my friend Steve had the Hart Family Feud 2 pack. Other than at his house, I never, ever saw that set in person. Last summer, digging through the same bin of beat to hell loose figures I'd dug through a thousand times before at a local flea market, I plucked an Owen out of the depths, and nearly collapsed when I saw the cast on his arm. Bought it then and there for a whole $3, took it home, cleaned it the best I could, and went to bed that night comfortable in the fact that at least I had that. Fast forward six months, and I'm at a local wheeler/dealer who I don't like buying from because he cleans out local stores and basically eBays in person for his own gain, but he's got a good stream of loose stuff coming in at a decent tick. I've got an OSFTM Sabu and RA Bischoff in hand, looking for a third to make my 3 for $10 deal for the day, and there it is - Bret Hart in all pink! Almost fifty miles apart in a completely different state, I found the match. That's sort of what I love about the chase for these old BCAs. I've set a rule for myself, to never pay more than $20. To date, I haven't exceeded $15 per, and I've been able to lock down the following: Superstars Series 1 Razor Ramon (loose) Superstars Series 1 Diesel (loose) Superstars Series 1 Diesel (MOC) Family Feud Bret Hart (Loose) Family Feud Owen Hart (Loose) Survivor Series Box Set Ultimate Warrior - Green(loose) DTA Series 2 Blue Blazer (MOC to open) DTA Series 2 Blue Blazer (MOC to keep) KB Limited Edition Yokozuna - White (Loose) If I can get a red Yokozuna and that two pack, I'll have amassed everything that eluded me as a kid (that I wanted). That's such an awesome story. Thanks for sharing. If you can find any early Jakks figures for those prices, I'd say definitely go for it. As you're well aware, you never know when you'll find deals like that again. I remember getting my hands on a MOC Series 1 Razor for the first time in '07. I ended up reselling it on eBay a short while later, but for that little bit of time I had it in my possession, I felt like I was living out a childhood dream. Never saw it or Diesel in stores when I was a kid. The 2-Packs don't ring a bell either. Probably because I was still too young and my memories only go back so far; I would've been 8 when all of the Superstars 2-Packs were released.
