Is Jeremy still in the toy industry? What company is he working for now? He is still with Jakks. The fairy line. |

I've half given up my Mattel collection, gonna keep what I've got as I love the basic line but with them changing the packaging it was the best time to opt out and stop buying every cena, ration and reys they released. Back to Jakks and back to classics after the Christmas period. I fell in love with the line 8 years ago, and I'm going back to it. Suggestion,I know a lot of people still get classics and post separate threads. Should we try and post our classic receivings in this thread is to keep it going and keep it active? I definitely think there would be more appreciation if people posted their CS buys in here. Plus it would keep the thread alive and maybe more CS/legends collectors would venture back over! Good plan, here's my latest "get". Traded one of my 4 three faces of the undertaker sets for it. Good deal in my opinion. Such a fantastic set, my new favourite bret hart. Haven't seen him wear that attire, if anyone has a picture of him wearing it it'd be much appreciated. Question, is that rock the same as the Raw 10th anniversary release? Thanks.  |

I think that Bret is supposed to be an attire based on his early 1996 title run. A few things off but for a long time that was my favorite Bret figure. HBK is a great one depicting his early singles career start. Is Jeremy still in the toy industry? What company is he working for now? He is still with Jakks. The fairy line. I believe he oversees all the boys division at JAKKS. |

Thanks, so how many classics are you missing? Just out of curiosity. |

At this point mostly some 1/100s and a lot of bilingual carding variants. I will be posting updated pictures of my collection soon! I just need to organize them by series as my basement remodeling had them all over the place. I thought that Bret was based on a WCW attire. I think it could also be based on his WCW run as well. I just don't remember when Bret wore white wrist tape. He wore pink during his WWF days and black during his WCW days. |

I just need to organize them by series as my basement remodeling had them all over the place. 1/100 prices have dropped vastly in the past few years. Sunny and Rey both go for under $150, I paid £100 each so that's about the same. The one I want most I the "Boxing" Rowdy one, just watched one go of $300  Guy didn't ship the u.k o I'd have been all over that one. |

Yeah the CS 1/100s definitely have dropped since the CS line was hot. I remember most 1/100s during that time were selling for no less than $400!! I picked up my CS 1/100 Sunny for $50, and Rey for $10 (didn't buy off eBay and it was more circumstances surrounding some sales). But I bought a 1/100 Eddie for $180!!! I'm hoping next year to add the 1/100 Undertaker, Jimmy Hart & Heenan. |

1/100 Hogan is one of the few RA-style Hogan figures that I need to add to my collection. I think the only other ones that I don't have are the Canadian Walmart exclusives.
That reminds me. Other than the robe, are there any differences between the regular release of Thunderlips in the Rocky line and the 2-pack version from RSC?

I'm hoping next year to add the 1/100 Undertaker, Jimmy Hart & Heenan. I got my Eddie for $225 with free shipping to the uk. Was never gonna get a better deal than that. Well, up until a few months ago where on eBay uk a member on here won one for £97 shipped. For a 1/100 that's sought after like that one is is insane. I'm slowly trying to build up my classics and have a list of my favourites that i'm gonna try and get first, but one day I'd love to own a complete set of 1/100s. Bobby heenan, I actually forgot about that one. He's next after rowdy roddy. Quite mad actually, I got outbid with a minute to go on the roddy half black half whie figure at just over £110 and didn't bid again. the thing that stopped me was that I didn't like the deluxe packaging that much. Unfortunately for me, something that never happens in Scotland, roddy piper, ted dibiase and Tatanka did a signing 5 minutes from me and I did go to it. If only I'd have put in another bid and I could have got it signed. Oh well. |

The only 1/100 figure I still need is the Rey Mysterio one. There are only a few on Ebay right now, but they're still too pricy if you ask me.
I actually should have ordered one from RSC a couple of years back when they had him listed on their site for USD 90,- (I believe).

There was one up last week at £100. |

I actually should have ordered one from RSC a couple of years back when they had him listed on their site for USD 90,- (I believe). For me I said I'd never pay over $100 for Rey and even that is a stretch. I ended up paying $10 for him in the end. I had bought 3 from RSC (1 for me and 2 for a friend) for $100 each. My friend ha dlost his job shortly after I had received them and I told him if I could sell them he wouldn't have to pay for them. I ended up selling one for $150 and the other for $110. ($300 - $30 from code - $110 - $150 = $10!) Had I been able to do that again I would've bought one to open! But Reys started to pop up shortly on eBay and the prices were driven down. Thus that's the story on how I got a CS 1/100 cheaper than retail! |

The maximum that I like to spend on the 1/100 Rey Mysterio would be around the USD 125,- mark. Surely, it would be great if I could get him any cheaper, but as said, I really should have jumped on him while RSC still got him.

Did RSC ever have the GITD Taker for more than $299? If your on YouTube you probably know a YouTuber called assault and battery 777 and he claimed he got his off ringside for $599 but when he got it I was debating buying it myself and it was defiantely $299.
Just wondering.

On that note, I actually got my 1/100 Taker from RSC for USD 180,- (being USD 200,- minus their 10% discount). |

It was definitely up because I was debating buying it. But I don't think it would ever have been $600. No way it would have sold for that. |

UNLESS it was like the last few left and that might have only been for a short time. I do remember them having it for $200 because I was also debating whether to pick one up or wait. WIsh I hadn't waited. |
