Ok, so here is my story. I am a 28 year old die hard wrestling fan. When i was a kid I played with hasbros, and my mom would take me hunting for them. I would call a few local toy stores almost everyday with the same question: "Hi, did you get any new WWF Hasbro wrestling figures today?" My mom would run if I hung up with news of a new shipment. As I got older, I rebuilt my Hasbro collection to be a COMPLETE LOOSE MINT C9+ collection. From series 1 straight through to the green cards, Including all 3 mail away figs MIB. I remember the day I bought the Yellow KOTR Ring @ Toys R Us, and I remember buying the whole Green card series. A store near my house just got a new case of figures and waited to open them up when I got there. They knew me and my mom and knew I was the crazy kid whole called everyday. I was standing in front of a fresh un opened Green card series. MY GOD, if I knew then what i know now. I eventually sold the entire set to a comic book store for almost 2K. That was about 1999. Fast forward to 2012 and I have over 200 Mattel figs. My wife wants to kill me lol, and now I have caught the nostalgia bug. I found a KOTR Ring with some figs on eBay for real cheap so I scooped it up. Started buying some cheap lots here and there, found a custom made ring as well. I recently bought a set of stickers from the original Hasbro blue ring and today a ring came in the mail from eBay. its in perfect shape, just really messed up stickers, lol, not anymore. Most of these figs are C8 or higher (a few are C7). I know i won't ever have the whole set MINT loose like i did before. I probably will never have the mail away figs or green card figs again, but we shall see.......

it irritates me to see the sticker sheets sold on eBay, because those started here and were given away for free :/

Great collection. I just started collecting the Hasbros too, around Christmas. All of mine aren't in great condition like yours but it is a start. I'd love to have one of those rings too. I've got them in one of the rings with the collapsible floor that I picked up at the local thrift store right now.

ah this is a great time for you.I restarted my Hasbro collection in the summer of 07.
won a huge lot on Ebay for $350 and it had 90% of what I wanted plus both rings.it was an awesome score....
my real luck came with my cousins old toybox though.he had Ludvig Borga,the Smokin Gunns,Black HBK,Luger,Sid and the Steiners in GREAT condition.

Awesome, dude! I really want to start a Hasbro collection. I have sort of an attraction to retro things, even though I am only 14 years old.
