Hey all, Quick question for any of you WcW collectors out there. I recently bought a boxed Toybiz Monday Nitro Arena -- thrilled to finally get this piece -- but when I put it together, I realized it's missing one of the 12" pieces of scaffolding (the one that stands opposite the entrance ramp) and also the red grappling hook. How difficult is it to come by these pieces? It's probably one of the coolest WcW playsets put out there, but I hardly ever see any listings for it. Is it a rare ring or do people just not collect WcW stuff? Here's a pic of the ring for those that don't remember:  |

I think it's pretty hard to come by. I have one, it's awesome!

I have one too but never set the whole thing up I only took out the nitro entrance ramp part to take pics of wcw figs with, but I would imagine just getting that one piece would be hard to get.

I think it was the summer of 2001 that I flew to Florida by myself as an 11 year old to visit my grandparents. While visiting, my grandpa took me to Toys R Us and he bought that very Nitro Playset for me haha. I think it was clearanced. I took that whole damn playset onto the plane as the carry on haha.
Amazing set, I hope you find the pieces you need!

Tricky to get ahold of just from a quick search on Le Google. Best of luck,

Like the hard plastic mat with a bouncy center lol. Sadly I threw mine away. |

I had it too. Should've held onto it as it was an incredibly fun ring to have. Did you email the seller about the missing piece?

Thanks guys! Haha I'm glad to hear everyone's memories of this set. I was strictly a WWF kid growing up, but when it came to figures -- I begged my parents for every wrestling item regardless of whether or not I knew who the wrestler was. Some epic cross promotional battles were fought with this arena  It's so strange that this ring is less common than the Yellow Hasbro King of the Ring though. I bought this item from a UK seller; seems like the Nitro ring pops up on eBay UK more than the US for some reason. Thanks for the help, I'll keep my eyes peeled. Every now and then some wrestling parts lots show up. |

I still have mine MOC that I got a few years ago. I would think it will be difficult to find someone who has parts left over.
