Yeah, people like Brock, Goldberg & even cena as we said earlier all fit in. Goldbergs early RA's were much better than his classics IMO. Goldberg's CS headscan was HORRIBLE. I wouldn't have complained if they reused his RA scan, as that was perfect IMO. I think the R3 Kanes are the best Kane figures that Jakks made. The very first R3 Kane was my favourite figure for a good year and a half until the ruthless aggression 5 one I was talking about came out. The detail on it was superb. What's everyone's favourite classic they own? Post pics too. Mine has to be the bobby heenan weasel suit. It's such a simple figure but so good.  Close second and third are the boxing piper &the purple undertaker from the 3 faces set. |

I didn't get him when he originally came out so fast forward 2 or 3 years later when I was looking for him it was a tough find. I ended up trading with ClassicCollector for him, I got a god deal on it and its in pristine condition so I'm really happy with it. the one i had the most trouble finding when the series hit retail was undertaker series 3. I don't know if it was short packed or not, but being young I'd ask or it in my toy shop every time I went in and it'd be the same "we haven't got any but we're expecting some more soon", which felt like forever. I know it gets hate because its a re release to figure, but I have the classic still moc and I opened up my smackdown series one for display. |

The price I have in mind varies from one figure to another. Like the price I'd pay for a 1/100 CS Undertaker is higher than what I'd pay for a 1/100 CS Jimmy Hart. |

I remember Series 23 being extremely hard to find. I really wanted Lance Storm, Kidman, Spike Dudley, and The Berzerker, but I never saw any of them at retail. And I honestly don't know if I ever saw anyone from that series at retail.

And I honestly don't know if I ever saw anyone from that series at retail. I actually found my lance storm at retail, in 2010!! Couldn't believe it. Was reduced to £6.99 aswell. Great condition so I obviously grabbed it. It's actually not that good a figure. Only one I know that actually is to big for the packaging. |

But I figured he would be easy to find at retail. Boy was I wrong! |

Berzerker was the last Jakks WWE figure I bought at retail...and on the Target Clearance rack at that. Had no idea at the time how tough he was to find, just thought it was a nice looking fig and for $5.99 wasn't about to leave him there. Glad I snagged him now.

For some reason I found it tough to find ken patera at a fair price for a while I remember he hung around near me when they first hit, but by that point I wasn't really into figures as much as I once was. Funny enough one of the last figures I bought before getting back into it was Eddie Guerrero from that series. |

Wrestlers I never got, the vast majority of which I never saw in stores Ernie Ladd - (I only had money for one figure so I got Bad News Brown and I figured Ladd would be there the next time I had money but it was not) Gregory Helms - (Why did they put him in a CS set?) Classis Superstars was the best line Jakks ever did.Helms I believe was a mistake. He was in one of those figure & Belt combo boxes. I believe it was meant to be a current figure and belt (he was the reigning cruiserweight champion or just had lost it), but JAKKS ended up putting a CS logo on the front of it. A lot of people say he shouldn't be included but I go by the book. CS logo on box = CS figure. Same thing happened to me with my quest finding Ladd. Kidman took a long time to obtain. RSC had a special going and both he and Spike were only $10! But I figured he would be easy to find at retail. Boy was I wrong! I've only ever seen Kidman once on eBay and it was bought immediately. I did get my spike for £4.99 though. Man finding Kidman for that price is a steal. Maybe he has dropped in price (I haven't check on him in years), but when CS 23 first came out Kidman was definitely the harder of the 1-per-2 case figures to find. |

Anybody got any signed classics they're especially proud of? This is my favourite I have.  |

Oddly enough, I have only one CS figure signed and that is the 1/5,000 CS Hillbilly Jim. But I'm not big on autographs. That Cactus Jack looks wicked sweet though!
