When I found CSTT 1 in TRU when they first came out ..I didn't even know they where being made. I was like it was the only time I saw LOD in stores. I should have grabbed the Rockers in hindsight, but I hated they had molded shirts

Getting my first figure ever. RAW Draft Lita, a Backlash Hardcore ring, and the Raw is War stage set all from one visit to TRU. Probably my best findings all in one night at TRU, especially a figure so rare as a Draft figure.

One of them was seeing a Kane figure in store for the first time ever. It was back in the TTL days when things were more spontaneous than they are today.
Also, it was so awesome to see the CSDA pack finally come to fruition and eventually receiving it.

Turning down the aisle at TRU and seeing the whole set of new figures I would be looking for and contemplating on which one to get.
Also calling TRU asking if they had a new set and if they did getting them to hold it then driving 30 minutes clear across Las Vegas to get them.

I have to say finding my 1/500 Bourne. It was really shocking. That is what came to my mind right away.

The first memory would be when I was young and my Grandma took me to Toys R Us for my Birthday gifts. She was the one who got me into wrestling as well collectiing figures at a very young age. I just remember her saying "Pick the ones you like," which was pretty much all of them. She bought me about 20 hasbro figures and a ring, so that's one of my favorite moments which got me hooked all of these years later..

Theres some real nice storys in this thread. Another time I remember is about 5 years ago when I found all the accessory packs in a pound shop and picked up 4 tables 2 tall ladders a breakaway window and a breakaway couch. That same year for christmas my dad baught me so many figures it was just unreal, the 1 figure that sticks out in my mind though was unchained fury rvd (my first rvd figure)

Theres only 2 that stick out in my mind and that's when the very first series of BCA's came out.
I always used to go into this old retail store called Ames on weekends when me and my family would go camping. Being a kid I would always run to the toy aisle to see what was new. I remember just a day before my birthday I went in and to my suprise there was BCA series 1 sitting on the shelves. It was so great to finally see some new figures after the long period of not having any new WWF figures coming out.
I remember beging my mom to buy me the HBK & Goldust figures. The next day we went back and she bought me Diesel & Razor Ramon.
Than the other one is I remember shortly after that going into TRU and seeing the first box set of Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Goldust and HBK. I was so excited because Warrior is one of my all time favorites.

many of them usually when I'm with my brother hunting for new releases it always tends to be a historic moment even when we don't find crap.

2 different occasions: as a collector: Definately finding my first 1 of 500 fig. it was kofi kingston, and after years of looking thru pegwarmers at EVERY store i went to...i finally FOUND a 1 of 500.
as a fan: Meeting ric flair and having him sign the limited wwe 24/7 fig at an roh show in detroit over summer. it was a great MOMENT for me. flair even said "THATS the figure" people ask him about the most whenever he does a show. i just laughed, and he went on saying "fans think i have a warehouse full of this stuff, but i dont even own one" hahahaha, great times
