Yeah, I'm a loose collector. There is no rocket ship to be assembled, but the back of the carding says "Collect any two male S.T.O.M.P. 3 figures and create an interlocking battleboard!"  You know, if that counts for anything.  interlocking battle board is no where near as cool as a space ship. Do you remember where you read it from? I know that one of the S.T.O.M.P. Series (either 2 or 3) originally had something to do with flying or airplanes, and then the concept was changed. I really can't blame anyone for not wanting to collect them, but I can enjoy them now since, well, what better have I got to do being a BCA collector in 2011?  |

I remember buying the Over the edge boxset just for the Triple H.It was a pretty cool figure except the legs on mine were so loose he couldn't stand up on his own. I have always liked the Rock figure that came in the Corporation series because of the full color tattoo.My favorite ring gear rock was from the Kmart boxset with just him in it. |

What was everyones thoughts on the LOD 2000 figures? I liked the helmets and shoulder pads but it always bothered me that Hawk had the black shirt on under the pads.

I do have to admit, it was easier to buy a giant haul of BCA's 12 years ago then it is to buy figures in the past 5 years or so.
Some of my biggest hauls were summer of 97 when I bought Austin, Triple H, Lawler and Bradshaw in the series 4 Bad Boys set.
December of 98 I bought Signature Series Billy Gunn and Roaddog, and then a few days later I ended up getting Series 6 Mark Henry, and Faarooq, Shawn Michaels, Chainz and Triple H from that DTA set. That was a good few days.
But it was so much easier to purchase - and even find - the Jakks BCA figures then, and the price was always just right where it didn't feel like you were spending a lot.

What were some of your guys big hauls as a kid. I remember my mouth dropped open when on my 10th bday..my parents took me tru and just all the figures there were!!! I ended up getting series 2 hbk, bad boys austin, series 3 mankind and ahmed johnson..now that was one of a hell of haul back then for a kid. Well, I didn't really have any hauls as a kid. However, I had an epic one a few months ago...  |

I am really thinking of becoming an MOC BCA collector.
Was there ever a figure you wanted but never got?
I remember begging my parents to buy me the Kane from the corporation series but they never did. My dad was always like that if i ever tried to buy someone i already had.

There were a number of figures I really wanted but was told to put back because I had no money at the time. I pretty much had to earn any money for random toys outside of birthdays/Christmas I wanted. Missed out on Truth Commission (only seen them once), Headbangers (both the tag teams 2 pack and the Wrestlemania single packs), Taka Michinoku (only saw him once), & Faarooq (only saw him once and only had enough money for one figure, and I chose Mankind).
Wanted Christian, Gangrel, Test, and Big Show, but I never found the BCAs of them and ended up settling for the horrible TTLs. There were a ton of others I wanted and didn't get, but these were the main ones

The only figure I can remember really wanting and never finding was Blue Blazer. I never saw him on the shelf.

There were a ton of others I wanted and didn't get, but these were the main ones I had to earn the money for my extra figures as well. Since i grew up in a neighborhood with no other kids i did all the odd jobs no one eles wanted to do. I had the money to buy Kane along with everyone eles from the Corporation series but my parents did not like seeing me spend money on figures i already had. |

I remember when our local Fred's started carrying series 3. I know we made at least 2 trips that day so my brother and I could get the whole set. This may be my favorite series cause every figure in the line was a must have for me, even the Shawn and Bret repaints that I already had from series 1 lol.
A few years later Fred's started carrying the Special Edition figures and we made multiple trips and bought a huge amount of figures to both add to our collections and to use for customs.

The first figures I ever bought were Superstars Series 2 Stone Cold and Rocky Maivia. The same day, I purchased the blue and white Monster Ring, The Headbangers 2-pack and the Godwins 2-pack.
I love what I picked up, but to this day I beat myself up for not collecting earlier to get Series 1. I would have loved a Bret Hart BCA or a Shawn Michaels.

gonna be "that guy" and point out that Austin & Rock weren't in Superstars Series 2. Austin's first figure wasn't until series 4 (Bad Boyz) and Rock's wasn't until series 5.

My first BCA's were Series 1 Michaels, Diesel, and Goldust. Went back the next day and got Taker, Bret, & Razor. Found them in Wal Mart on accident.

I first found the BCA series at Meijers and i bought Bret and HBK. Then my parents had to go to the otherside of town to a different store and i asked if i could go in Meijers and there i found Diesel,Razor and Goldust.
I got Undertaker the next day because my mom called 4 different Meijers and finally the farthest one from our house had one so my dad took me there and i bought it.

my first BCAs were Owen Hart and Goldust from series 2. A friend had got Owen and Vader and had been showing them off proudly. After several days of trying to convince my mom to take me to the store, she finally did. Only figures left were Owen, Goldust, or glowing Taker. I passed on glowing Taker because it looked dumb. Found a series 1 Taker about a week later. Never did get Vader, Warrior, Razor, or Diesel. Got Bret long later in a special edition series, and Shawn LONG later, the one in blue & black pants that was a repaint of the Slammers one..
I missed out on so many figures just because I had no way to get to the stores often..
