Chicago mentioned Hbreakid. I loved his site.

Fully Loaded Series 1 HHH was horribly outdated by that point, HHH's attire would have been outdated, sure. But wasn't that the fig with the shiny purple pants? 'Cause I thought that was his attire from Summerslam when he fought The Rock for the IC title, so it sort of makes sense to toss that into an IC title set. You're right, but I was thinking the set would include figures made not that long before it so the re-releases would be fresh in everyone's minds. That would be the most logical choice, though, if it was meant to commemorate all of the past IC champions.

Funny about that Perfect 10 box set. Each of the men in that set have held the tag team titles with another man that is also in the box set.

That is true actually, all 10 guys in the Box set held the tag titles with someone in that set.
Austin & Foley Rock N Sock Rock & Taker Austin & Taker Austin & Triple H X-Pac & Kane Kane & Foley Big Show & Kane Big Show & Taker New Age Outlaws Kane & Taker
Wow... it just goes to show how much the tag titles switched hands in WWE history to have all those guys hold tag belts with each other one time or another in the past 10 years or so.

I agree with what you're saying; I'm just assuming that would have been Jakks' reasoning for putting HHH into an IC title set when he was coming into his own as a main eventer by that time. Too bad there never was a set like this, I'd have been curious to see pictures.

Haha, never thought about it. I'd bet the same could be said for just about every box set made during the Attitude era. It was pretty chaotic. Using the original Champions set, there's - Owen Hart and Bulldog (obviously, haha) Owen Hart and The Rock The Rock and Undertaker Using WMXIV as an example, we've got - Austin and Michaels Austin and Undertaker and eventually HHH and Austin Michaels and HHH (although it didn't happen until WAY after the box set was released) ...too much time on my hands, haha.

how much did that perfect 10 set retail for? What was the price for single BCAs at the time?

single BCAs sold for between $4.99 and $6.99. $6.99 were very high end and I never paid it, but I seen it a few places. Usually it was $4.99 or $5.99. K-Mart were usually $5.99 for figures with a lot of weapons, $4.99 for figures with none.

I am gonna say that the Perfect 10 Box Set of figures probably went for $49.99.

I think the perfect 10 box set was $49.99 but it has been so long i can't remember.
I always wanted to buy it but my parents never let me.

It was $49.99 as a starter set for new collectors or anyone who needed to catch up with their collections, and it was exclusive to TRU stores. I don't think I ever had it as a kid, but I could be wrong. I wouldn't mind owning it now, but I already have too many boxed sets as it is. I think I'm at 19 after my last purchase of the Foley 3-pack.

I think you should try to get it Chicago, if you can. Imagine a sweet set up of the Perfect 10 Box Set as the center piece with the other 3 and 4 pack box sets around it. That would look pretty sweet.
And I can't believe I was right about the price for it, I just took an educated guess on it haha

I asked for that Perfect 10 boxset just for the X-Pac figure. I had most the other ones already, but man, X-Pac was so hard to find in DX gear.

Now, there are two versions of the Perfect 10 box set. One version, of course, has a blue box and is pictured on the previous page. However, the other has different box art altogether. Super sh*tty corner pic below: Is this just a re-release? I really prefer the blue box tbh...

I think that the green Wrestlemania box was a re-release.
I only saw the one in the green box at TRU never saw the blue box.

Correct, Owen and The Rock were never tag champions.
Owen only held tag gold with Jarrett, Bulldog and Yokozuna.

I stand corrected. Must be mixing up my Attitude era memories...I knew they tagged during the Nation days, for some reason I thought they had the titles for at least a little while.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't know about this thread sooner. This is awesome. Brings me wayyyy back.
BCA is what started my action figure craze. I still remember the first figure I ever got was Owen Hart Series 2 for Christmas back in 1996. From then on, I wanted them ALL. I currently still have alot of BCA figures but many of them got damaged and destroyed in a fire. I was able to maintain a fairly good collection of them but not nearly as much as I had before. These were so fun to play with I have a bunch loose and many more MOC. I still buy some BCA figures on eBay from time to time just because they have sentimental value to me. For example, the Owen Hart figure I got was the last thing my grandmother bought me before she passed away. I loved these. My all time favorite has to be the Blue Blazer figure. After his death, the figure went crazy in value and I was able to find one at the store for retail price. It still have it and although it's not as valuable anymore, it's still an amazing figure.
