Is it just me or do you struggle to keep up with the amount of figures Jakks release? Ill admit that I do. Hopefully when I get a job soon ill see a big difference but sometimes its hard to try and get the ones you want.
Do you struggle?

Nope. Because I only buy the wrestlers I enjoy/enjoyed watching. So mainly it's just the Classics now and even then I haven't bought a whole series of CS singles since CS13 as there's been alot of wrestlers released I just have no intrest in adding to my collection.

So who do you collect figures from the main line of? Is it just Triple H? |

Im not in any hurry. I figure with the economy like it is, if i just pace myself and only buy figures of who I want (i dont by repaints, doubles or rereleases) I will eventually get everyone.

As i just mentioned to you, yes i think jakks is outlaying too much for me to keep up with and this is made worse by the poor distribution here.

Not really. I only buy new characters and not even all of them. I just buy who I like or who I think would be a good addition to my fed.
I do, however, always have to order figs online because we are way behind here.

Before I quit collecting I was struggling with keeping up even with just the figures I wanted. I had given up on full sets a long time before that.

I'm pretty much caught up now except for a few CS figs but for a while I was very impatient and was always either preordering figs or buying them off ebay. Now I'm pretty much forcing myself to wait until I find them at retail to save not only the $3-$5 extra I'd pay online for a fig but also on shipping costs. So far I've done pretty good as I've gotten everyone I want from RA36 at TRU for $10 each instead of paying $15 each online plus shipping.

I'm mainly in need of the up to date figures which I tend to wait for the prices to go down. I bought RA34 Khali for about £2.50 ($4) and another RA35 Hornswoggle to open for about £3.50 ($5) today.  |

Neh, for Classic sets I only Buy 90 and some 80s guys, ans there arnt alot of those, and for RA I buy Any one new and maybe If I feel like it a repaint or a old one with a new head scan, anyways I dont by them that oftan because Jakks does not realses new superstars that oftan or fast.
and I dont have trouble finding them I just by off Ringside somtimes I go to Wal-mart or TRU but they never have anything good.

Yes. Especially with me working now, I cannot go down TRU at anytime and get a figure I want, I have to wait until the Weekend and even then, they figure would have probably gone.

I have REALLY been struggling lately. My wife & I just got our own place, so theres been lots of spending on necessities and no money for figures. I am a Classic Superstars completist and up until this year I was doing pretty good. I stayed pretty well caught up and I was able to keep my collection current. Now, I'm like three sets of CS behind, two sets of CSTT behind, two sets of CSS3P behind, and the last exclusive I got was McMahon/Helmsley Era.
I'm hoping that I'll get a couple of exclusives for Christmas and If I get any money I know what I'll be spending it on.

I keep up alright.
I only buy figures I like so that keeps it to a minimum. Sometimes I'll wait for another figure of a wrestler to come out to make sure I don't like it more or it's improved (ex. RA27 Santino....worth the wait).

Nah, I'm always getting what I want the day it hits retail in my KB and TRU, so I never fall behind with figures. Right now I'm all good until I find AD 33, and DA 17.
