I spent too much Lol I started collecting at elite 12 and found most if not all released figs after that in stores but I had to play catchup thru eBay for legends and older elites but I don't get multiples of many figures so I just had to catch up with at least one of each diff character .ive probly spent over a $1000 or $2000 between all the figs I have plus rings,cage,stage ,backstage , all thru retail or eBay plus some figs I've got multiples of for MOC and loose so yea I spent more then I ever EVEEEEER intended to ..first I said I would only collect flashbacks (from my childhood ,attitude era based figs) then before I knew it I've kind of become a completionist and got just about every diff wrestler that's had a fig, but now the only figs I don't own now are Andre ,tully,arn sdcc taker,rsc Brock ,rsc cactus ,hurricane and new yet to be released figs .

Just counting Mattel WWE? Probably around 5k since 2010. But that's not the only toy line I collect... I try not to keep track of the $ amount over the years because it can be jarring, but collecting is definitely worth it to me because I love action figures and it's really the only thing I spend money on for myself. I don't have any other hobbies besides collecting nowadays.Plus, as years go on I end up selling some stuff. Clearing out older figures I've lost interest in or making room for newer versions I like better. Of course, what ever cash I make from getting rid of stuff usually ends up going towards new figures. LOL! It was definitely jarring when I realized how much I've spent, but then my boyfriend said "your dolls are the only thing you spend money on" which put things in perspective for me. LOL Thanks for answering my question everyone. I know I can be a dick around here sometimes, but I think this is a cool hobby & I respect most of you guys. |

I'm about 6 months in to collecting... Have plenty of MoC/Loose duplicates, ESR, Rumblers, Rings Entrance stage. I'm very thrifty though and I've paid full retail on maybe 1/4 of my collection, everything else was on sale, had a coupon or free gift card to knock my spending down. I'm probably in around $600 or so.... Definitely cheaper than ripping hobby boxes of football cards,which I decided to take this year off due to the weak draft. Also, more satisfying as I know exactly what I'm getting as opposed to some random crap I didn't want.

Interesting thread. I've been collecting since the ljn days. It's scary how much I've spent on figures over the years.  |

I have 33 figures, some of the rarest around (mankind, yokozuna, miss elizabeth) and have spent near on £700
Started collecting again in July, had loads of jakks! Only a few mattels, I can only really think of e1 MVP, Battle pack evan bourne and rey mysterio and a few basics like swagger and henry

I really, REALLY don't want to think about how much I've dropped since 2010. lol
When I was a kid, I was totally fine with my small collection (that would fit in a shoe box) and only getting new figures on special occasions. Since Mattel has had the WWE rights I've spent easily spent over $5,000 on collections for me and my younger brother. Glad I have a bunch of disposable income...

A few years ago I hit the 10,000 dollar mark on eBay alone (I remember because at that point paypal forced me to verify my bank account). All together it's probably around 30,000

I've been collecting since LJN/Hasbro days, so probably several thousand dollars, but the only time I've paid over retail price for a wrestling figure was the BCA Blue Blazer.
That will change once I finally decide to break down and buy the UK Galoobs and Hasbro mail-aways, though.

I've been collecting for at least 20 years. So with that I say around 30k to 50k. Probably closer to 50k

Well I know for a fact that Ive owned over 1500 figures at one point. If you just assume that I got them all for $5 a piece (which isnt even close, that's $7,500. Honestly I would say I spent 10K on wrestling figures alone.
