Heh, best thing to do is just keep the discussion going by asking questions, posting pics of your collections, sharing old memories, etc etc.
I wish there were BCA pic feds around nowadays on these boards, because I would definitely support anyone who took up the idea. I've never felt like I had the time to do one, nor the dedication that I think would be required to make it good, but it would be a nice throwback to see someone with a true Attitude Era fed using, well, true Attitude Era figures.
Maybe even have an invasion with the respective WCW and ECW figure lines of the time.
Edit: Oh, and since it just came to mind, I would have liked to have seen a Fully Loaded Series 1/Over The Edge boxed set HHH repaint in the red and yellow gear he wore at Capital Carnage (the Dec. 98 UK PPV).

I went to a Flea Market on the other side of town this weekend and seen a few BCA's but nothing that i diden't already have. The loose ones were $3.00 each while the MOC ones were $10.00 each.
The MOC ones were:
Special Edition Austin -jeans and t-shirt
Fully Loaded series 2 Austin
Superstars series 7 (?) austin (the same set that had the first edge figure)

Typical lol.
If only people knew how valueless BCA Austin figures are in 2010.
I'm sure there were many who bought up each of his figures with the hopes that they would be worth more one day. They were overproduced then and I don't know anyone, maybe besides myself, who would still be looking for them now.

Am I the only one who wishes Jakks would have revived the old BCA line by using those body types for the new TNA figures instead of Havoc Unleashed?
Lets be honest. Maybe 5 people in this world have a "collection" of havoc unleased. Everyone else disposed of the bodies and just used the heads. Whereas, a lot of people have held onto their old BCA figures.
Its a pipe dream, I know. But a damn shame.

I would like to know what happens to the old molds.
Better yet, how many people actually own testshots or prototypes of BCA figures?
I know of a few on these boards, but they don't seem to be as common as Hasbro figures, that's for sure.

I don't know why i remember this but i do. I went to a yard sale about 3 years ago that had two tables full of MOC stone cold steve austin figures. I ended up buying the Camo Carnage figure for $3.00 .
It seems like everytime i see BCA figures they are either beat up beyond belief or the price is really high sometimes both. lol
A while back i was walking thru a flea market and seen a few BCA figures laying on top of a box. Before i could grab them some kid ran over and grab the two i wanted (bret and bulldog) and slammed them together. The impact knocked bret's head off. After seeing what he did he threw them down and walked away. The parents diden't even try and stop him.

That's flea markets for ya.
I'm convinced that all of the eBay deals I've found are from people who just want to get rid of their crap sitting in storage, or their garage. Or both lol.
Some people have either been living under a rock or in a purple haze if they don't know that BCA figure prices are in, shall we say, a downward spiral since the late 90s. I mean, c'mon, hook me up with some deals already lol.

I agree, how is this thread not stickied yet?? We talk on it every day, always about something new too, it needs to be stickied for sure.
Here's an interesting set of questions then, for those who can remember, please answer.
What figure did you pass up on back in the day and regret it later??
And what figure was it that you marked out over the most when finding it in a store??
For me, the figure I regret not buying would be Wrestlemania 14 two pack of Austin and HBK when I saw it at Walmart one night.
The figure I marked out for the most when finding was actually the DTA HBK figure that came with that sweet yellow HBK chair, that I found at Walmart one night.

When my mom and I went to the store, I had a choice, either Crush or Stone Cold. I chose Crush. I think I eventually got the Austin for Christmas or my birthday or something, but I do not regret getting Crush before getting Austin.

I think I may have found where they got the WM 14 Shawn Michaels pants design from. I don't ever remember him wearing these to wrestle in, but he wore them in the Playgirl photo shoot. These may be the ones that the WM 14 figure were based on.

The one figure i regret passing on was the Livewire Val Venius. I seen it at Kmart and then ran home to get the money. By the time i got back to Kmart it was gone.
The figure i marked out for the most was Slammers series 2 Dude Love.
I think people need to realize that BCA figures value has dropped. I was at a swap meet awhile ago when this guy kept trying to tell me that a single pack BCA figure retailed for $10.00 . When i told him that they retailed for $5.00 he got really mad and called me a liar. A few booths down from his i bought a Ringside collection sable MOC for $1.00 . It still had the sticker from TRU that Said $4.99. I went and showed that guy that i was telling the truth and he said he was sorry for calling me a liar.

most scalpers are just idiots.
i marked out like crazy when i got Series 5 Ken Shamrock. I couldn't wait to get that figure.
Back in the day, Target was never in New England.
My friend's grandmother lived in Florida and when he went down there to visit he told me about how much wrestling stuff they had there, I wanted to go so bad. He ended up buying that Buried Alive set which I think was a Target Exclusive back then? I never saw it around here

I am not sure where my Buried Alive boxset came from because i got it for christmas one year.
I have never had any luck finding figures at Target.
I wish that i had the time and figures to have an all BCA fig fed. I could use some of my old storylines.

I'd like to see that Undertaker prototype sometime. I know that I couldn't wait for Kane's first 6" figure in the Slammers series. Also, any updated versions of 'Taker, Austin, The Rock, or Mankind would have been on my wishlist. It never bothered me to have multiple repaints of guys, but I'm sure my parents didn't care much for it lol. As far as figures that I always wanted? Definitely the Grudge Match Billy Gunn in white trunks which I think I dreamt of before it was ever released. Once I started collecting again in '07, it became nearly every series that I didn't own, or some like the later Backlash figures which I never even knew about and had to research. I still need a lot of the Signature/Slammers/S.T.O.M.P./Sunday Night Heat Series figures, but I know that I'll get around to buying them at some point. Edit: I just bought the newer BCA style Booker T loose from Backlash Series 2 on eBay for $2.75 shipped. I tried for the Triple H, too, but didn't win it ($1.50, minus $2 shipping, beat me out as I considered upping it to $1.75 lol).  Oh well, at least I got the Booker for the cheapest price I've seen for this figure. |
