Hello! I have been collecting wrestling figures since 1996 and have been a member of this board since 2002 (although I've been inactive for several years). I had a vast collection of old Jakks BCA and TTL figures. Sadly, I lost several during a move and sold the rest a couple of years ago on Craigslist. I am still a very big Bret Hart memorabilia collector and still have many Hitman figures. When I heard that Mattel was planning on releasing a new Hitman figure I decided to look at the new Mattel line and I was VERY impressed. Especially with the Legends and Elite figures. I stopped collecting around 2004-2005 but would like to start again. I just don't know where to start. I looked around my local Toys 'R Us, Wal*Mart and Target and saw some pretty cool figures. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated in regards to the best Mattel figures and where to get them!
Thank you for your time! I look forward to becoming active on this board again and starting up a new figure collection!

Currently Target's are having crazy sales on Mattel figures (see the appropriate thread about this for more details). That might be a good place to start as many figures are anywhere from 50-75% off right now. I too just started MOC collecting again and purchased (6) legends figures this weekend from Target for $3.74 each! I was an avid Hasbro, Galoob, LJN, etc era collector in the late 80s & throughout the 90s, so the legends figures are what appeals to me, but they also have other current figures on sale as well. Good luck  |

Try to get a figure lot on eBay to jumpstart the collection. Good luck!

Welcome to collecting Mattels, they are impressive figures! Right now, there are some good sales you can take advantage of. Target has the best ones right now with Legends at only $3.74, Entrance Greats at $5.96 and Defining Moments at about $16(?). Also, keep an eye out for the occassional sales at TRU. They have Legends for $12.99 and if you buy 4 right now, you'll qualify for a TRU exclusive mail-away Vince McMahon figure! For upcoming Legends, watch MattyCollector's site for internet exclusives like the Rockers and Andre the Giant coming soon.
If you're having trouble finding some figures, I suggest looking through RSC's catalog during sale times. Sometimes you'll find a good stock of older figures on discount and if you order a bunch, the shipping costs aren't so bad once the coupon code kicks in. If all else fails, don't forget the universal "wfigs" code for an automatic 10% off.
Well, I hope this helps and happy hunting!
