Yes, this is somewhat of a joke. But Why does it seem like hasbro produced a hundred thousand Rockers, and Bushwhackers figures? I wasn't so much into wrestling when hasbro figures were still in stores, therefore I don't know what was a shelf warmer and what wasn't. This is just plain rediculous though.
Its been my goal this year to collect all hasbro figures, minus the mail-aways, just because they're too expensive. Clearly the only place to find all hasbro WWF figures is on ebay. When I first started, I bought in lots, since that was the easy way to start accumulating figures. In every single lot I've purchased, the Rockers and Bushwhackers always seem to come up. Since I started collecting probably around February, I've probably held atleast 20 sets, and destroyed 5 for parts. Same with the Bushwhackers. Its hard to sell those things.. You can list them for a penny plus shipping on ebay and they still won't sell. Same with Piper and the first bossman..
So what do you think? Should we call a genocide? Destory everyone thats in sight? Name off some funny ideas..Or maybe even list some hasbros that you think we should destroy so they quit popping up on ebay, because they usually don't sell..
Figures I'd like to see "retire" or all of us WF members dispose of: The Rockers The Bushwhackers Rowdy Roddy Piper The Bossman #1 Brutus Beefcake #1

instead of destroying them, donate them to Toys for Tots. There's plunty of little kids out there that'd love to have TOYS. I'm sure the Bushwhackers would be popular as "Army men".

Hey, whatever it takes to get them off of ebay. I thought to donate them they all had to be inside the package? I was only refering to loose figures, anyways. And again, I don't mean actually a genocide, that was the joke part of it, but whatever it takes to quit getting the common ones to pop up on ebay all the time..

Toys for Tots only accepts NEW toys. You could donate them to your local thrift store like Goodwill or Salvation Army though.

You can add Jake the Snake to the list.
For the right price I may sell my entire hasbro collection. It's only missing four figures.

Jimmy Snuka could probably be added to that list too. I've had tons of him.

I sold my whole loose set (mins mailaways) on ebay 2 years ago for $650. I doubt they would go for anywhere near that anymore since most of the collecting public seems to be focusing on CS right now. Hell of a time to buy, bad time to sell in my opinion.
