the only bad thing is.. the amount of time and gas u spend going to so many yard sales that end up being nothing, u probably coulda just worked/saved on the gas then pay for an item like this lol I live in Delaware which is a tiny state I can drive through the whole state from top to bottom in less than 2 hours,I just drive around my small town I don't go far at all. Plus I do find other things like stuff for my daughter and some other vintage stuff here and there. To your point that I could save time and money and then just buy one like this the trick would be to find one in this condition which is not an easy thing to do. I can vouch for how hard it is to find in this condition, I've looked on eBay for a long time

Awesome find! You can't do any better than that - it's getting to enjoy an unused ring without having to damage an unopened box.
I'd gladly reimburse some of your cost just for a hi-res scan of that sticker sheet. The ones on the KOTR ring I have are badly damaged and I'd love to replace them.

I'd honestly say you overpaid, being it was at a garage sale. You could have easily talked him down $5-10 , happens all the time but it. You got a great ring there anyway. And the box is really cool looking. I've never seen an unused one like that

Awesome find, congrats! I like to check car boot sales in the uk but I don't think i'll ever find one to match this. Best find so far was a wcw galoob blue trunk brian pillman for £2

I can vouch for how hard it is to find in this condition, I've looked on eBay for a long time I did decide to list it on ebay just now. I know this is not the place to post links to stuff like that but if anyone is interested just put this headline in the ebay search bar.. WWF Hasbro King of the Ring wrestling ring w/ box near mint never assembled 100% ...I started it out pretty cheap.

Amazing find. They probably figured "let's get rid of this really old toy nobody will probably want".
