I bought all my LJN figure when they were in the stores so it was retail price for them. Unfortunately I gave them all away to my cousins about 10 -15 years ago.

the hardest ones for me to find are the ones I still don't have: Martel, Black Strap Andre, Race, Rude, and White Shirt Ref.
Haku, Warlord, and Warrior were difficult to find at a reasonable price. I believe the most that I've ever spent on ebay for an LJN figure is $35.00.

when I was a young kid, I had everyone minus variants and Jumpin Jim Brunzell. I paid retail for everyone else I had. For some reason the Bees were never available in a 2 pack around here and I bough Blair on a single card at the time. It wasnt until I re completed my LJN set a couple years ago that I finally got brunzell and most of the variants. I still need a painted chest George Steele.

I bought all mine at retail as a kid and played with them all. They are all still in my mom's basement. Do played with figures sell for any money?

I wish I could find Frankie loose. That is the accessory that I would like the most. After I have my collection complete, I think I may have to buy some MOC figures to get the accessories that I want.

Re: LJNS
As recent as two or three years ago - I had NO difficulty finding any LJN figures loose or MOC - primarily thanks to eBay. With the emergence of classic superstars, they have been considerably harder to find.
I literally had the entire LJN collection pass through my possession two or three times MOC, and dozens of times loose.
Some of the harder ones to find MOC were always - Bulldogs individually, Bret Hart, Red Shirt Hogan and Hart Foundation tag team.
However, as long as you were willing to pony up payment, there was NEVER an issue getting your hands on them.
Some of the RARER figures I've owned MOC include - all the aforementioned above and -
Macho Man, Brutus Beefacke, Adrian Adonis, Ax, Big John Studd and Jake the Snake on BLACK CARD. I've since sold them all!
I still currently own the ENTIRE LJN set, loose, MINT and complete! Will likely NEVER part with it.

The hardest ljn for me was the 16 inch hulk hogan. This hogan was a figure that had burned in my mind since i was 5. And now im 25 so that means i was 5 in 1987 so last for christmas i said the hell with it. I bought him mint in box from spam for $199 was it worth it for me to buy him for that much. I say yes that figure is perfect in everywhere from the cloth shirt all the way down to the 85 championship belt.

I got all of mine at the retail price as a kid, so not that much. Even better, my parents loaded up for me when TitanSports went bankrupt & KB clearenced all of them. The most I ever paid was $25 & it was for Vince McMahon

Something is always wrong with the plastic, the cardboard,etc... I'll concentrate more on it once my small ljn's are done. |

None of the black carded figures were difficult to find for me. I bought most of them when I was a child. I didn't buy the Warrior figure, because I never saw it in stores. When I ended up buying one, it was at a comic store for $15.
The most difficult LJN for me was the 16-inch Roddy Piper. I bought it off eBay for $50, shipping included.
