Hi everyone, I’ve decided to make a journal of my collection. For those of you who are interested in a little of the background please see this thread: Greetings from Glasgow (Scotland) – Hasbro related. Blue RingThe Hasbro figures weren’t the same without the ring. Unfortunately mine was fit for the bin but I couldn’t throw it out. The ropes had lost their elasticity, it was filthy and one turnbuckle had broken. After a little DIY I managed to repair it and I’m pretty pleased with the job. I wish I’d taken a photo of it when I first found it but, hey, that’s life. Before:After:My Original Hasbro’sSo now that the ring is restored I’ve taken pictures of my original Hasbro’s with it. These started it all about twenty years ago and are the "junk" I found up the loft! This is going to take a bit of time as I’ve made several purchases in the last few weeks so bear with me, I’m going to upload each purchase them over the next couple of hours. This is more for my benefit so that when I look back it doesn't appear I had 60 Hasbro's as a kid. It means I can see the collection grow! This is just a taste of what’s to come! Found some other cool stuff too Some of it I think will be reasonably rare but sure people on here will correct me if it's not. ;D Cheers!

And so purchase numero uno. Great condition! Absolutely chuffed. First time I’d bought anything on eBay so was a bit apprehensive at first but no problems. Think there was 16 figures in the lot so some were doublers but it worked out less than £1 per figure so I couldn’t complain. Particularly chuffed with Warrior (3) and Demolition Ax and Smash. Here you go!

This next entry shows something I found recently in my parents loft. Not a WWF Hasbro figure but certainly relevant to the WWF Hasbro era. This is one of my very first memories of wrestling. My Granda bought this WWF Superstars of Wrestling – Sticker Album (Series 2) for me one afternoon and I absolutely loved it. I never did manage to collect all the stickers but never the less it brought me an enormous amount of happiness. Can anyone on here shed any light on the Series 1 album? Hope you like it – I kind of secretly hope it’s rare! Lol! Years later I got this 1993 sticker album. Again, never managed to complete the sticker collection but it was fun. I remember taking the double stickers in to school and swapping other pupils. I think a shiny badge was worth several regular stickers. Lol. Enjoy.

Okay so purchase number two. I'm particularly pleased with the condition of these figures. I met the seller and bought face to face. The man was the same age as me so it was really nice to chat to the guy and find out a little bit about them. His folks use to buy him his figures at the Barras, in Beatties and the Jolly Giant which is exactly where my parents use to take me. Was there anywhere else in Glasgow that sold them? Enjoy.

Third purchase. Saw these in a shop in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t resist. Not often you see Hasbro’s in a shop! Lol. Typhoon has seen better days – the shopkeeper gave him to me. Thinking if I get a better Typhoon I'll try my first ever Tugboat custom with this one. Nothing to lose on it. Lol.
