Hey guys, came across this old Jakks WWF 4 pack from 1999 in a charity shop near me today. I don't really collect Jakks figures from this time period, I was more of a WCW fan then and happily collecting the Toybiz figures but picked it up for £6.50 as it looked pretty cool and figured considering someone went to the trouble of keeping it in packaging for all these years it might be worth something. Have tried to find a bit more about it online but can't seem to find much mention of them other than similarly packaged single packs of these figures.  Anyone able to tell me a bit more about the history behind this line, whether this was a one off thing or 4-Packs were the norm back then? And is it worth selling or keeping as a nice item in your collection? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

bone crunchers are worth little to nothing. you definetely wont profit by selling it (theirs a reason you paid so little for it). these were available at wholesale clubs such as BJ's and Sams club.

I never saw the 4 packs (other than box sets) but I never have shopped at those warehouse stores. Thanks for sharing though. I really like that Goldust and Droz.

bummer that they're missing their accessories apart from Goldust's robe. that was one of the more unique bits of that set

They came out around Christmas 1999 and I remember my Toymaster was full of them.

What does that convert to in US dollars? Roughly 11?
I'd say anything under $15 is a great deal for the set; I certainly wouldn't have passed it up for that amount.
I don't know its origins in the UK, but I do know that it was exclusive to Sam's Club stores here in the U.S. The set includes re-releases of four out of the six figures (No Mankind or D'Lo Brown) from the Break Down In Your House Series, which was released to all stores in May of 1999.
Packs of four figures like these with the figures stacked on top of one another were not common for the Jakks BCA era; I've only ever known for this and the Superstars Series 8 "Team Corporate" set on blue carding to exist. Now, this doesn't mean that they're particularly sought after either. I wouldn't expect you to get much for it (double your money at best) if you're indeed interested in selling, so that's why I'd advise you to hold on to it for the time being.
Also, it's unique in the sense that it features one of Austin's better BCA street gear figures, X-Pac's BCA debut in street gear, the debut of Goldust's one-and-only BCA robe, and Droz's debut BCA figure.
