Pretty stupid argument over the BCA figures. No reason that should of went to court. He should of took his loss with the 15 dollars and enjoyed the figures. It was a second hand store, what do you expect?

that also happened back in 1999... it's not like he is complaining about buying a $15 BCA figure today. it'd be like if a store was selling the newest elite series for $40 each and convinced some kid that they're exclusives.. Keep in mind, the internet was not what it is now in 1999. Information was almost impossible to find in the wild west that was the internet. And pages took so long to load that a dozen pages would take you an hour to load

It's not a big deal, but Jakks never painted them this same way to represent the belts from 1998 to 2002 except in hard to find exclusives like this set: Credit: WF member WalterF for the pic. I'll have to take pics of several other Mattel belts I recently bought, like the Intercontinental title that comes with Elite Series 8 Drew McIntyre; it far exceeds anything Jakks was able to do with their I.C. belt mold. Also, I think these are better scaled to the BCA figures than Jakks' RA/CS figure belts.

And pages took so long to load that a dozen pages would take you an hour to load You know, this was the first time I've watched that video of the kid in court and it seems eerily similar to my own life in 1999. I could have been patient and waited for the newest BCA series to hit retail at $5-6 each, but I was a high roller at 10! Or so I thought I was with my parent's money. I don't know about the rest of you, but online purchases were few and far between in those days for my family. Sure, I may have dropped $15 on that one occasion, but I wasn't about to throw in shipping costs on top of that. Buying the newest figures at a hobby shop several weeks/months before it arrives in stores/your friends get them was a cheap (well, not so much) thrill for a 10-year-old kid. I can't really blame the business owners either; scalpers have existed since the dawn of time, and it's their right to charge whatever they want, or have policies in place like in-store credit or no refunds for buyers within their store.

So I was going through this thread and decided to look up some of the old lineups. Something that never occurred to me until now, but Slammers Series 2 which was one of the most anticipated series for me as a kid because I loved the Patriot, Kane, and Dude Love...
Brian Pillman died the day before Kane debuted in the WWF. So this figure was obviously approved to be released wayyy after his death. I thought this was kinda strange and a bit morbid.

Quite a bit; Slammers Series 2 was released about 10 months after Pillman had died. I didn't think it was in bad taste, though; I'd like to think Jakks was allowed to proceed with it as a way to honor his time with the company. By the way, I was meaning to start a discussion about the most anticipated series, so thanks for that. Other than Slammers Series 2, what else would get your vote as the most anticipated series of the BCA line? Superstars Series 7 (New sculpts and debuts), 2 Tuff Series 2 (New Age Outlaws in ring gear) and Signature Series 1 (Austin 3:16 street gear) all come to mind first.
