As a kid, I always thought KB was so inferior to TRU. The selection was smaller, prices were usually higher, and it didn't have that "wow" factor of walking into a TRU. I was so spoiled - there were 3 or 4 KB and 2 TRU all within a 20 min drive radius. I wish I had appreciated it more at the time. Obviously the smallest and worst stocked KB would look like paradise compared to the empty aisles at Target and Walmart. It really bums me out that my kids will probably never get to see that "wow" factor. I remember we had those Flex Ems forever. We couldn’t give those away.

I remember the first set we received when I started working there was the 2002 KOTR set. I was so excited to get that first Lesnar figure. My bosses broke my balls so hard for buying figures, but I didn’t care. I’ve kept that figure MOC all these years later. I know it’s frowned upon by some, but I always got first crack at figures. I never bought full sets, and passed on some sets completely. I had so much fun at that job. We had a great staff & I was pretty bummed when the company went bankrupt. I remember KB by my house having probably hundreds of figures from that set around Christmas and still couldn’t find that brock lesnar I missed out on the Brock with a shipment right before I started, but got him on the second one. I never saw another KOTR Lesnar again.

It really bums me out that my kids will probably never get to see that "wow" factor. I agree. The best thing I remember about KB as a kid was “Buy 2 get one for a penny” on wrestling figures. I always liked that deal for the WCW figures. I remember getting Booker T, Scott Steiner, and Jericho on that sale. That Jericho figure from the ringmasters set gets a lot of hate, but I loved it. Wish I still had it. For Jakks though, I used to get so mad at myself for buying BCAs there and then seeing them later at Walmart or TRU for cheaper. $5 a week in allowance wasn’t much, so being able to save the money was big for me as a kid.

One great memory I have from kb is when the one ruthless aggression wave was coming out that the first articulated hornswoggle and Beth Phoenix since she’s from around us came out in me and my father let the manager know that we wanted those 2 if they ever got them, so a few weeks later we walk in and he goes you guys still looking for those 2 and we say yes he goes we just got them in today let me go in back and get them for you, I was so excited after that visit

KB was always clutch for me back when the LJN's and the WCW Galoob figures were coming out.

I remember those sales! But I always got my WWF figures from TRU or smaller local stores, I never really took advantage

The Lawler looks awesome -- at least to me.

So today I found 4 E83 Edge. One of them had the rock on hands, one had too sweet, and the other two had one each of rock on/too sweet. So that’s kind of funny and unfortunate.

Amazon is now showing my Triple H vs Hardy 2-pack will be delivered on May 31st. I still haven't seen Amazon have the Piper vs Mr.T 2-pack for retail. Walmart.com usually gets the 2-packs as well, but they haven't had it either. I wonder what the deal is with that Piper vs Mr.T pack?

Have not seen it on the us site.

Currently available on the Walmart and Toys'R'Us website.

I Had my first definitive sighting of AEW figures yesterday. At a Walmart AND a Target.
Riho. Rihos. Nothing but Rihos. Rihos as far as they eye could see. Rihos All Day Every Day.
If these figures were $15, I would have bought one because it was so sad to see just her hanging on the pegs. Guess she can commiserate with all of the Mae Young Elites that are pegwarming too. Honestly kinda surprised she is pegwarming as hard, esp since she comes with a belt.

Packed at 1 per case, does that mean the store really went through 5-6 cases, and all they had left was Riho? If so -- that's really impressive.

Lmao. I'm a loser.
