I don't know if any figure is really rare anymore with ebay being around.
Maybe the Blue Blazer figure to an extent. Just because in my understanding it only came out one per box and it was during the time when Owen had passed away.

I never found him because of that. Only other Owen I recall seeing at retail after his passing was the leftovers of his 2-pack with Rock (in 'danger' attire).

I remember finding the Blazer figure the morning that Owen passed away and being really upset that I had already opened it.

I spent probably too much money on the first set.. But I don't even care. It said great shape. These are for me, not for my store. cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190698964390

It might not be a GREAT deal, but for $9-10 each it can still at least be considered a fair one.
Here's why:
Factor in what the shipping would be if you bought each figure separately from your average eBay seller. Shipping would be $5-6 each (almost automatic), and not every bid on a Series 1 figure will stay at $5 or under (most will go $6-8, or even $10+ on rare occasions), so you'll be lucky if you get away with a MOC Series 1 figure for under $10 shipped anyway.
Also, I believe that if ever there were a series of Jakks BCA figures to regain value in the future, Superstars Series 1 would be it. Especially MOC.

Does the Slammers Patriot figure have the same movement as the Slammers HBK figure?? From what I remember they do. They are just different molds. And the best thing about that HBK is he does an awesome elbow drop.

Thanks for the info champofakind!!
I thought the Patriot and the HBK figures had the same movement, but wasn't entirely sure. I still need to get the Patriot for my BCA collection yet.

I never found the Blue Blazer figure at retail either Never saw him at official retail, but there was a hobby shop in the mall near where I live that would sell BCAs and they were asking $60 for that Blue Blazer around the time of Owen's death...which doesn't seem as crazy by today's standards but back when figs were 4.99 it seemed outrageous.

There used to be a hobby shop not too far from where I live called "Planet Wrestling" and their prices were always inflated for new figures. Shocking, I know. I even wrote about it on my blog once: jakksbca.blogspot.com/2009/05/15heh.htmlI vividly recall going there in 1999 for the first time and being amazed at their selection of wrestling figures. Racks upon racks, both in the aisles and on the walls surrounding the interior of the shop, were filled (usually) with some of the latest WWF, WCW and ECW figure sets. All of the brand new stuff was visible on the wall behind the checkout counter. To top off the experience for a kid like me at the time was a door leading to the backroom where a wrestling ring was housed and guys would come to train there (and I just learned this) for the Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation. If there was one place I wish I could have had a birthday party at (and I believe they were offering ), it was there, for sure. Also, around the same time (summer of '99) a wrestling shop opened in my local mall and I remember that being a fairly big deal to me. Of course, their stock was outdated by a few months and I don't ever remember buying anything there (maybe a t-shirt or something small) considering the prices, but I did go to my first autograph signing and met Edge (I think this was the day after he won back his IC title at a house show). The guys that worked there were very nice to me and my mom, but I honestly don't think that place lasted long since they never did good business. It's hard to believe that wrestling was once SO popular that a shop like that would open in the mall, but I guess everyone saw dollar signs and the opportunity to cash in on the craze. Still, I'd say about 75% of my BCA figure purchases came from Toys"R"Us in those days. I don't think I started shopping online until late 2000/early 2001, and by then the BCA line had been phased out almost completely.

Chicago, I believe that Planet Wrestling is still open. I have personally never been there because I live like 10 states away, but I was just reading on the Mattel forum about 2 weeks ago that someone stopped there and bought a bunch of stuff.

Maybe it is, I wouldn't know. I drove past there back in high school to see if it was still open and it definitely was not, but that was well over six years ago. I'll have to check it out sometime. If only I were able to walk in and have it look as it did 12-13 years ago.
