1. How many Mattel figures you've collected this year? (2014)It's hard to say but I collected over 125 figures in the last two years. I opened them all on Christmas, it was pretty crazy but fun to do! I'd guess about half of the figures were purchased in 2014. 2. Where did you get majority of the figures you've purchased this year?Lately, I've been waiting to get them at retail. I'm no longer in any rush to get them early and tried to cut down on my spending last year. For now, I like taking weekly toy runs...I don't really find much but it's good exercise, at least. 3. Who was the first figure you got this year? (2014)I can't remember...I'm going to guess that it was E26 Roman Reigns. 4. Who was the last?That was SummerSlam Heritage Million Dollar Man...I was lucky to finally find him on Christmas Eve! 5. Which figure did you spend the most on?BAF Elite Curtis Axel. 6. Which figure was your "steal" deal of 2014?Getting the T-Shirt series AJ Lee & The Rock for $2 each at Walmart! 7. Which was the toughest to find?SS Million Dollar Man was tricky to find...I'm still looking for E31 Vader, tho! 8. Which one was the easiest?SS Heritage Triple H was easier to find than I expected...So was E26 Road Dogg & Ultimate Warrior. 9. What figure was disappointing when you got it in person?The JR BAF Alberto Del Rio. 10. Your favorite 2014 figure received?(doesn't have to be released this year)Tough call but I'll go with SS Heritage Undertaker. 11. Who's in your collection you didn't expect to have this year?Basic Ricky the Dragon Steamboat in white or Eva Marie...I was going to wait until they showed up in stores but jumped on a last-minute RSC sale! 12. Did you reach any goals? (if you had any)Yes, I finally got to open all the figures that I was keeping MOC! 13. Did they release the figure you've been waiting for?Yes, there were many figures I was looking forward to: The Shield, Fandango, Goldust, The Wyatts, Trish Stratus, etc. 14. Any Regrets?Maybe a couple of excessive Basics, like Triple H & Undertaker.

1. How many Mattel figures you've collected this year? (2014) 133
2. Where did you get majority of the figures you've purchased this year? Ebay / RSC
3. Who was the first figure you got this year? (2014) Just started collecting this year and the 1st figures I bought were DM HHH and E19 HBK from Ebay
4. Who was the last? Legends Series Ravishing Rick Rude came in from Ebay on 12/30
5. Which figure did you spend the most on? Yokozuna (worth every penny!) 6. Which figure was your "steal" deal of 2014? Zeb Colter for $6.99
7. Which was the toughest to find? Nothing was to hard, everything I really wanted I preordered from RSC. Everything else I just bought when I found it.
8. Which one was the easiest? Pretty much same as #7. Everything I really wanted was very easy to get through RSC.
9. What figure was disappointing when you got it in person? K-Mart Exclusive DX battle pack. HBK's scan and attire were a let down.
10. Your favorite 2014 figure received? (doesn't have to be released this year) Not even close. LOD
11. Who's in your collection you didn't expect to have this year? All of them! I wasn't planning on really collecting. When I bought my 1st figures all I wanted was a HHH and HBK for my shelf since they are my favorites. But as soon as I bought them, I was hooked.
12. Did you reach any goals? (if you had any) Nope
13. Did they release the figure you've been waiting for? Nope, however once that Razor releases I will have a different answer for this question next year.
14. Any Regrets? After seeing the slight upgrades to the ASR (tag ropes and elastic strap to hold down ring mat) I regret buying two right away.
