What case packs was he really put into? And when did he show up in the US?
People always seem to say he is so rare on US card because he was out briefly and then pulled due to him leaving the company. But, I remember it differently and it also makes more sense the way I thought it happened.
I remember finding him much later in 92' and I think he turned up at the same time Series 4 hit. I got him at TRU and I think they had plenty of Warrior aswell as Bret, Bossman, Taker etc from Series 4.
It would make sense that he would hit shelves later in 92' as he came back to the company at WM8 after being fired in 91'.
Is this correct? When did you guys find him in the US for those that did originally?
Just curious, thought it would be cool to bring up and I've always wondered.

Never saw it on the shelves, got it in the late '90s when I turned into a "real" collector.

I had one when I was a child. My father used to pick figures up for my brother and I while he was working in Queens. Little tidbit he worked for a Nabisco shipping warehouse and brought us home cookies as well. At least once a month he would pick up 2 to 3 figures and comic books for us.

I had out grew the figure phase of my childhood in early 92, but my younger had that warrior in the summer of 92. At one time I had 3 USA card MOC Series 3 warriors. I got one signed and kept it, the other one sold at auction bidding for $395 last year. Mind blowing I know, cause you get buy the same figure on foreign card for $40.

Plus if you look at the card backing of Warrior, Bret, Bulldog etc are pictured on the back of the card.
