Thanks guys. I know i am going to get the thumb wrestler set and the series 1 Razor.I might end up getting everything. I thought the series 3 Bret was 2 high but i wanted to make sure. The guy tried to tell me the series 3 Bret was the first Bret hart figure ever. I just acted like i did not hear him. Haha, it's possible he just has no idea. But in a time like that, I would direct his attention to the back of Superstars 2 Owen's card and show him THAT Bret. It stands to reason that, since Superstars 2 came before Superstars 3, then the S3 Bret is NOT the first one ever made. But I would definitely go for some of those if I were looking for a mini collection. Best of 1997 Bret would definitely catch my eye at that price. As for the Monster Ring - anyone else ever turn it upside down for a HIAC-like environment?Not really for a hell in a cell, but I did play with it upside down at times

Of course, it's a staple of playing with the Monster Ring. One thing I'd like to know: Will it float? ![:-X](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/lipsrsealed.gif) I've always wondered that, but my guess is no, no it won't.

As for the Monster Ring - anyone else ever turn it upside down for a HIAC-like environment? I don't think the guy knows that much about wrestling.I think he bought them from a yard sale and now he is trying to make a profit off of them. Yesterday i went to look at a loose collection of bca figures. The lady said he son had 40+ figures but when i got there i only counted 7 figures and a wcw ring that was missing the ring post and ropes. She said she wanted $40.00 for the lot because the items were rare.I just walked out of her house.

As for the Monster Ring - anyone else ever turn it upside down for a HIAC-like environment? Yeah, I'm not sure what made me do it, but I do remember turning it upside down and wrestling in the plasic ring base, but never upside down and wrestling in the roped area.

Are there any playsets or accessories that you wish Jakks had made during the BCA era (excluding anything that came out later in the TTL line)?
I always wanted an ambulance, and I had a friend who had a toy version that could fit one or two of his figures at a time; I thought that was so cool, but I had no idea where to get something like that.
I still occasionally check eBay for toy ambulances, but I've never come across one big enough to fit six-to-seven inch figures.

Perfect barbed wire substitute that looks nothing like barbed wire? Scotch tape.
I used it on my Monster Ring (go figure) and sometimes I would take down the ropes and pretend really long strands of scotch tape stretched between ring posts were, in fact, barbed wire.
It's really more for the sticking effect than anything (well, obviously, it wasn't for looks), but I had fun Barbed Wire Rope matches that way.

I always wanted a BCA Scaled Arena, complete with fans and lighting. I think I handwritten a letter to Jakks about it back then as well, I was hoping it would of been made with like a Howard Finkle exclusive to the set. It could of been a JC Pennys exclusive back then. Now thinking back I really wish Jakks had read my letter......

I remember wanting a barbed wire ring I also wanted one. I remember finding this rubber like stuff in a hardware store that somewhat looked like barbed wire. I bought some and turned one of my wcw rings into a make shift ecw ring with the barbed wire ropes. I even made my own makeshift hog pen for a few hog pen matches.

It could of been a JC Pennys exclusive back then. Now thinking back I really wish Jakks had read my letter...... I'm sure Jakks wanted to do a lot of things, as evidenced by the debut of Grapple Gear in 1998. An early rumored Grapple Gear Series 2 line-up for 1999 consisted of a ramp set and the Titan Tron itself (along with a Ladder Match set). Of course, the actual Titan Tron would be released later that year, so who knows if the BCA line would have had first dibs on its very own entrance stage without the TTL line's debut in Fall 1999. The box art on the back of the Raw Is War #2 boxed set provides us an interesting "What If?" scenario, though... ![](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61/tmac152303/BCA%20Collection/BCA%20Boxed%20Sets/DSC09416.jpg)

I actually found some good barbwire that fits the monster ring pretty well. I think its from some sort of Japanese line. its hard plastic and is in a coil. I luckily won it in an ebay auction. ![](http://i.imgur.com/FCuNR.jpg) ![](http://i.imgur.com/u6BIS.jpg)

I remember wanting a barbed wire ring Some of the figures and accessories that came out around the BCA era, came tied in the package with the silver wires that were covering in a clear rubber....i saved them everytime I got a figure that was tied with those and used it as barbed wire. I would twist it around the ring ropes or on some of the weapons. Sometimes i would just have a big bundle of it and have one of the wrestlers throw their opponent onto the bundle. What did everyone use as an entrance way for there fig fed? I used everything depending on the show. I remember using Castle Grayskull (usually for Halloween Havoc), the Thundercats Lair, and the Turtles sewer. I remember making my own entrance out of stacked up boxes. The BCA's were too big, but I remember when wrestling with my GI Joes I used the ones listed above and also some of the Fisher Price Little People sets. (the Firestation was my favorite cause of the big door on the front) I used Wayne Manor with the GI Joes too lol.

What did everyone use as an entrance way for there fig fed? In order: Shoebox (with the BCA figure stands leaned against it) Batcave (with the BCA figure stands leaned against it) WCW Nitro entrance (i think this one should go before the TTL) and then the Titan Tron Live

I used whatever i could find. I remember setting up a bunch of plastic model cars to try and make a replica of the Over the Edge 1998 entrance way.
The most work i ever put into an entrance way was for Summerslam 2000 ppv. It took me 3 days to make it and my sister threw it away before the ppv.

Thats sucks about her throwing it away before the ppv. But how awesome was it, when you would work on your own entrance like that. I always loved working on entrances or using various light up toys to give lighting effects to my entrances. It was awesome.
