Like a lot of toy collectors nowadays, my focus is mainly on vintage figures over modern.
I will pick up the new AJ Styles and the awesome Mattel Retro series but besides that I spend most of my collecting hours on the internet or at toy shows.
What places are there (near you guys) that sell wrestling toys besides the chain stores like TRU and Wal-Mart? What kind of selections do they have?
I've been to Kool Stuff, Big B and Bounty Hunter in Hamilton and I have to say I'm constantly impressed by the condition, prices and selection of stuff at Big B, those guys deserve a medal!
But I am all the way out in Markham so I don't go to them as often as I'd like.
Closer to me I never check Value Village (and when I do, there's nothing, absolutely nothing) and I take a bit of a trip over to Oshawa's Comic Alley Toys, that has a constantly changing, solid selection of stuff, but sadly rarely gets anything that isn't in very, VERY used condition and they don't seem to try to clean anything...their prices can't be beat though.
There is also Planet X, but I have yet to see any wrestling toys there though I might have to call them/their Toronto location and see if I missed anything.

What types of figures are you finding at those places and in what condition? Can you post some pics of purchases?

I'm pretty good at cleaning toys so if there's been no paint loss I can usually get them looking pretty mint. These are three I got from Comic Alley Toys that I cleaned and took a photo of. They were really cheap too.
